  1. That Daily Caller woman’s discomfort was her cognitive dissonance kicking in. Thankfully her years of indoctrination let’s her get through it, but I wonder if she needs the drink to persist in her insanity?

  2. Here’s a possibility to ponder. What if Muller’s investigation concludes with incontrovertible proof that the Russians through expert computer manipulation actually were able to steal from HC not only her emails, but actual votes as well. If that was to be the case and Trump was to be impeached for any reason, wouldn’t HC be entitled to presidency?

    1. If you meant actually did it, as opposed to able, it would throw democracy into chaos. Trump would probably still remain president just due to the status quo effect, much like Bush won in 2000. Ability by itself is nothing.
      If Trump was impeached and removed, Pence would probably still be acting president.

      Might happen. It’s getting harder and harder to not be convinced that Trump has strings pulled by Russia.

  3. I read the Daily Caller thing before I watched this and no that woman deserves NO credit. As a person covering politics she admitted this is the first time she’s EVER gone to a rally for the opposite side. She’s bad at her job on that alone. She also said that it “seemed” like nice things but as she knows more about the founding of this country and Cortez or her supporters she knows it’s not. Leaving out the founding fathers would have told her to shut up and learn her place and that health insurance was not a thing until the 1900s…

    She went, she had half a second of self awareness where she realized that they were saying her kids deserve health insurance and education then she shut down, went back to her bubble, and insulted everyone that supports them.

    No credit from me. And no credit for doing her job.

    2. Did you listen to why they spend like 3 mins covering that or did you just see Russia in the title and freak the eff out?

    3. Right… Because as soon as we stop global warming Trump will turn into Bernie and Russia will be like Canada. Oh wait, no that won’t happen which is why everything is important to talk and be informed about and that is why they do.

    4. ABSOLUTELY.

      We should be talking about GROWTH and the destruction of our environment in record numbers. Socialists, Capitalisms, etc have no solutions for that. That’s the main reason why it isn’t covered that much.

  6. If they take action against future Russian meddling because they think that Russians are trying to help Democrats, that’s fine with me. When the Russians aren’t meddling any more, we’ll see who comes out on top.

  7. I love how Ana & John both mention how “You, the members, hired those reporters.”

    You mean like how “members paid for” Jordan, Nomiki & Michael Tracy?
    Huh, okay …where are those reporters now?
    I know there was another woman reporter, don’t remember her name…who are the other reporters?

    They sure made a big deal about thanking members.
    I don’t know why that irritated me so much.

    1. I always assumed that they were signed for 1-year contracts. I was surprised they stayed as long as they did.

    2. Oh no they don’t have a man who harrassed women, or another man who only made himself the story, or a woman who’s only scoop happened because she happened to be out to dinner at the same time as other people? What will we do?!?!?!?!?!

      Maybe you should try actually reading what they are writing there is good stuff there

  8. Syrian war planes have been bombing that region for a month now and the Russians have been allowed to use Israeli air space to also bomb ISIS in that region and there was agreement that only the Russians are allowed to use Israeli air space.

    Israel had plenty of chances to target the Syrian Air Force and did not take them.

    As for the bombing campaign inside Syria, Israel has been pretty clear that it will target Iranian installations and militias and anyone near them if Iran interferes in the war in Syria and virtually all the targets were Iranian. Israel has been clear for the last 7 years it had no beef with Assad and won’t target him if he abides by the 1974 truce.

  9. Bernie never gave us a concrete, detailed plan as to how he would pay for all the things he promised. He did in very abstract ways like Ana described (not quite as bad as “Mexico will pay for it” from Trump, but almost) but I never saw a detailed bill or policy with CBO scoring so we’d actually know what it would cost.

    Also, why did Elizabeth Warren get nearly 20% less approval than Bernie Sanders? Is she not a fighter for everyday Americans? Besides, Bernie is a WHITE MALE!!! An f’ing old WHITE MALE!!! The next person who wants my vote as a Democrat damn well better have a vagina!

    1. Bernie was not really abstract on how he would pay for new policies. He came flat out and said on cable news MANY TIMES, that it would involve getting rid of the Bush/Trump taxcuts. He also has mentioned a tiny percentage tax on stock trades. That is pretty specific.

      “not quite as bad as “Mexico will pay for it” from Trump, but almost” ~ are you fucking kidding me?!?

      I don’t vote with my vagina.
      Where obviously you do.
      Just because Hillary or Warren has a vagina, it doesn’t mean they are honest or trustworthy.
      Mother Teresa had a vagina, and she was clearly NOT a saint.

      Identity politics is the refuge of people who can’t be bothered with paying attention to actual policies.
      Go back to snuggling with your Hillary doll.

      1. chetzmom, on this topic, check out the excellent interview Katy Halper did with Briahna Joy Gray on 5/16

        These two smart, funny young women laugh about their role as “Bernie Bro’s” and skewer the concept of Identity Politics in general. Based on voting record and policies, Bernie was the far better feminist, but too many people “voted with their vaginas” for Hillary instead, just because she has one.

        I would not waste time trying to explain any of this to dratheart, who posts purely for the sake of insulting Bernie.

        1. Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve found that the vagina voters are, in some ways, as bad as Trump voters.

        2. EXACTLY! I think voting for policies that will help women is actually a great idea. But, Bernie’s policies would help women way more than Hillary’s would.

  10. Xenophrenia you’ve absolutely no idea do you, im from the uk and we have a system that AOC and bernie wants to implement.
    The same as many countries in Europe and Canada. What the right wing are smearing is corrupt countries who have a model of “socialism” like Venezuela to scary people. Like you already have socialist systems in your public schools, police, fire service road, bridge maintenance street lights rubbish collection, public plumbing etc . Like would it make sense to have crime insurance that’s paid to a company then paid to the police and they’ll only come to your call out if your insurance is indate if not the charge you for it. And if you live in area that’s high risk you pay more or have alot of high price items that would temp crime you have to pay a surcharge. I don’t know how people can be so blind, who you going to believe someone who’s getting paid in donor money by these i insurance companies or someone whos not bought off trying to help the public

      1. I obviously know more than you do ;-) … listen honey – both Bernie and AOC have laid out what is a SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC plan – that’s also what a majority of what Europe has … NOT Democratic Socialism – did you look at the link I included?

        … and what the fuck are you ranting about? I’m far closer to communist than what Bernie and AOC and am not in the slightest criticizing the idea itself but the fact that Ana and John are mislabeling what they are calling Democratic Socialism – calm the fuck down sweetie – I’m not anti-socialist – I’m 100% anti-capitalist though

        if you want a good breakdown of the different flavors of ‘socialist’ categories I recommend this short little run through on YouTube https://youtu.be/vyl2DeKT-Vs

        1. xenophrenia
          your comment stating, ” I obviously know more than you do ;-) . . . listen honey ”
          is very similar to, ” I have the greatest mind and the best words ”
          My fecal material tastes better ! ! ! !
          Your a BRAIN DEAD ORANGE PRIMATE SNOWFLAKE ! ! ! !

  11. NO John – Democratic Socialism IS Socialism – what YOU are talking about is Social Democracy … Democratic Socialists are ANTI-CAPITALIST … always

    “Democratic socialism is defined as having a socialist economy in which the means of production (including wealth) are socially and collectively owned or controlled alongside a politically democratic system of government.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_socialism

    stop lying to your audience – BOTH OF YOU

    2. Quoting Wikipedia isn’t the best way to demonstrate your point.

      Democratic Socialists did indeed start as pure socialists believing in public ownership of the means of production but through the years evolved into Social Democrats believing in limiting state participation in the economy to Economy of Scale programs and doing away with centralization.

      The term became interchangeable.

      Democratic Socialists who do believe in Socialism simply claim to be pure socialist.

      1. Wikipedia has been found to be as accurate as Encyclopedia Brittannica sweetheart – get your shit straight … https://www.nature.com/articles/438900a

        no – they ARE NOT interchangeable – it’s only idiots like you that allow that mislabeling to continue … like European Libertarianism American Capitalism has strives to water down anything that may cut the legs out from under it … thus the distinct propaganda taking one from the other and saying they are the same … THEY ARE NOT … again – I refer the ignorant to this video https://youtu.be/vyl2DeKT-Vs

        1. They are, in the modern post WWII era.

          The same article claims that Labour in the UK is “Democratic Socialist” yet even Corbyn, as extreme as he is economically, did not call for the abolishment of private property rights or nationalization of all corporations.

          There is a Socialist party in the UK and a communist party in the UK and neither one of them are fans of Corbyn whom they think is too far to the right.

  12. Come on, guys. Not every comment from a listener needs to be read on air- particularly the ones as sophomoric as the one about “pulling out of things”. And this after John complained about the “childish” practice of calling it the “Democrat” party.

  14. Bc Apple user’s,statistically speaking,buy apps no matter what and are the majority in the US among cell phone users. App developers are lucky if their apps attain worldwide status so they aim for their home base first. There you go-your ‘unsolved mystery,solved. :-)

  16. Syria refers to all rebel forces as terrorists. Even the white helmets are referred to as terrorists. Legitimizing this blanket accusation by casually mentioning ISIS fighters are in that area (not true) is unforgivable.

    1. hosam, I can see Assad doing what you claim. Dehumanization is effect but unforgivable. It seems the White Helmets do a lot of good. hosam, you reminded me of a few things. Thank you.

    1. I never understand why people dev apple first. Their market is far more difficult to work in and their share of devices in use in minuscule by comparison with Android. Not to mention there are coding platforms that will convert between the 2 platforms for you.

      1. The TYT App being on Apple first was probably tied to the Apple based pod-casting platform..

        Most annoying that you have to use Apples proprietary software and then be tied to signing onto their profit motivated marketing and media rights management.

        At very least what the TYT member site does do right is be able to download and use and store in common open format without restrictions; and in that regard the monthly subscription is very good value.

      2. Whether it’s more difficult or not actually depends on what the app you are trying to develop is. Not only that but most numbers indicate there are still more iphone users than android. Even with Apple taking a hit on loyalty they still gained far more users last year than they lost.
