  1. @MgQuest03 It’s a running joke from when MSNBC’s host Chris Hayes blamed Susan Sarandon for Hillary’s loss.

  2. I think I missed something. . . What is Jimmy blaming Susan Sarandon and Debra Messing for? and why? . . . or was that just a joke?. . . I’m confused

  3. I’m really frustrated that people don’t get Portman’s stance. You may oppose Trump, but that doesn’t mean you’re not going to Buy American.

    Also, I never heard about the Nayirah testimony back in the day (was too young). I just figured that if we were going to war, we must have a good reason, and not one invented on the fly.

  4. why doe jimmy have to be here sick? y’all really can’t put on a show without him every now and then?

  5. Greetings friends

    This is a bit off topic, but I decided to mention it before I become busy with othr things, and as a result forget to post about it. I am posting this Sunday, April 29, 2018. I just finished watching the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on C-span. I think Jimmy Dore would very much appreciate the humor of Michelle Wolf, the comedian who was brought in for the event. Someone at TYT or Aggressive Progressives might want to look up the event on C-span online.

    1. I agree, I just watched it and enjoyed that her jokes went over like lead balloons. Which means, she went right for the throat. Who is she? What does she play in, aside from wicked mean humor! Like I said, I am an old fart and live in Switzerland now so I don’t understand your culture anymore. I was not attentive when they showed Kelly Anne Conweigh, but I sure did appreciate the reaction from Not-Bernie Huckaby Sanders. She was really sucking on some lemons, n’est-ce pas?

  6. BY A FUCKING LONG MILE! God damned right, Jimmy. But seriously, don’t die. Your show keeps a lot of us from losing our minds. And whoever added all of these breaks and set an anti swearing tenor needs to reevaluate. It feels clunky and unnatural. It is obviously forced. Set this brilliant mother fucker loose and get off the road.

  7. There is also a difference between opposing the BDS organization, (Many former supporters, myself included, have come to see the anti-Semitic nature due its founders and their desire to eliminate the Jewish homeland), and opposing the idea of a boycott or sanctions in principle, or agreeing with Israel’s actions. Bernie Sanders has spoken about the anti-Semitic nature of the BDS organization,. Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstien have also spoken out against the BDS organization. There is no contradiction between not supporting BDS and being critical of Israeli policies or actions. Even PA president Abbas does not support boycotts.

  8. Dearest Jimmy! PLEASE do NOT continue to ‘trust’ the pharmaceutical companies who are providing ‘several medications’ to you! Why would you trust these corporate whores who you KNOW do not care about human health or well-being, but ONLY about profit, profit, profit. So… brace yourself for this: BE VEGAN. Please STOP ingesting big pharma’s lies and filthy products. We NEED you healthy and vibrant. The planet needs you! Please please WATCH “What the Health” – for free on Netflix! You will LOVE it, I promise! Thanks for your powerful progressivism… apply this political progressivism to your health! WHAT THE HEALTH! Thank you!

  9. I agree that you should get treatment, Jimmy. I said last week that if you are having pain in your groin, it can come from your dorso-lumbar region. This is also an area related to your kidneys, and if you are having high blood pressure, you should make sure your kidneys are functional. And with your medical history, you shouldn’t take things lightly. What is the average age of an AP viewer? I am 62 in 6 weeks. And I am as anti-war now as when I was when I was 12. My Dad worked as a civilian in the War Machine and then started making sure the Fly Boys got paid. They are the only members of the service that have not lost a war since WWII. The army and marines lost in Korea, and then the Air Force killed over 20 million people. USA, USA. They did have some problems in Viet Nam, but between Dow, DuPont and the B-52, they sure rained down some heavy shit, n’est-ce pas? Laos was a bonus track. I will give you Grenada, since I think the Army lived up to their reputation of keeping America Great against staggering odds. Those were giddy times. I am happy to see that Stef also admitted to a secret pleasure in endless war. You Go, Girl. Oh, I wrote too soon, she was being sarcastic? Ha, ha, me too.
    Since I am old enough to be everyones grandfather, my ideas seem to go over like Led Zeppelins. I would like to see a form of protest where they play a national anthem and everybody starts singing “Give Peace A Chance”. It doesn’t cost a lot. And with the World Cup coming up, it could get some serious coverage. In Britain and France, over 80% of the people are against the war, and they have idiots in the government.
    And Colin Kaperneck is to be commended. You are following in Great footsteps in Muhammed Ali. But you are earning your place in history.

  10. Steve did a great job clarifying Portman’s position. Jimmy seemed totally baffled by it, even suggesting it’s driven by selfishness, which is just bizarre.

    1. Right wingers love to conflate Israel with its right-wing government. It’s like patriotism, where if you don’t support the vile right wing warmongers then you’re not a good person.

      But left wingers and BDS itself often conflate the two things as well, with BDS often boycotting Israelis just because they are Israeli. Sometimes the Israelis are even against the right wingers in government but it doesn’t matter because they are Israeli. And yes, this often envelops American Jews as well, where they are harassed by left wingers to explicitly disavow Israel before being allowed into lefty circles.

      So unfortunately there are a lot of people who conflate Israel with its right wing psychotic government. And the response from the media on the left and right for Natalie Portman has been to completely ignore her words entirely. So I definitely like how TYT discussed her words directly and didn’t go to all the commentary where they completely ignored her differentiation there.

  12. Jimmy, get yourself treated please. The show is not more important than your health.
    Just like you tell people on your show to not donate if they cannot afford it.

  14. Two New Zealanders who encouraged Lorde to boycott Israel are seeking legal advice after an Israeli group said it was using a contentious new law to sue them.

    Justine Sachs and Nadia Abu-Shanab were the minds behind an open letter encouraging Lorde to cancel her scheduled Tel Aviv concert.

    Lorde acknowledged the letter and later cancelled her show just before Christmas last year.

    Now Shurat HaDin, the Israel Law Centre, claims the New Zealanders, one Jewish and one Palestinian, knew that their letter could trigger a boycott, making them open to a suit under a contentious Israeli anti-boycott law.
    Lorde is a New Zealander loved by many.

  16. Love you guys; how about some bad, tasteless humor. Passive aggressive progressives! Donald Trump is an air guitarist who thinks he’s a rock star. Finally, why is it called the Wonder-bra? ‘Cause when she takes it off, the guy says “huh”? Finally, it’s not trickle down economics, it’s golden shower economics.

    4. AP inspired me to become a member right then and there. But even before AP existed, I did have serious considerations about becoming a member just to support the network, since the main show is also exceptional in its fight for truth and justice.

  26. Jimmy Dore has class, unlike Ana Kasparian who threw him under the bus on twitter to PROP UP CNN!! Ana is vile. Thank god for Aggressive Progressives.

    2. Yes, I’m sure someone who is calling Ana “vile” simply for not falling into automatic lockstep w/ all of Jimmy’s views has a good grasp of what constitutes “classy” behavior.

      1. CNN smeared Jimmy and Ana appeared to side with CNN. She did so out of ignorance. She did not do it intentionally.
