  1. “Money is the universal, self-constituted value of all things. Hence it has robbed the whole world… of its proper value. Money is the alienated essence of man’s labour and life, and this alien essence dominates him as he worships it.” -Karl Marx

  2. Cenk and Ana’s comments on Trumps “perfect english” story is why I constantly remain frustrated with them. He wasn’t saying that the ICE agent saved the lives of the immigrants who were taken on a perilous journey. He was saying he saved the lives of (white) Americans who would have been murdered by the 28 “criminals and rapists” that he has never met and who are fleeing violence in their country. But Cenk and Ana couldn’t pick up on that because even when a known white supremacist makes a comment they will automatically look for a way to soften it; they can’t help it…especially Cenk and his “no officer is malicious, just confused by training” or his “everyone in the suburbs is being hypnotized, they don’t really want discrimination” excuses.

  3. On Trump’s impeachment, it won’t happen.

    You need 67 senators and the Dems won’t win the senate and even if they do they won’t have more than 52 seats meaning they need 15 republicans and not a single republican would join them. There was no guarantee that Nixon was going to be impeached and the Dems needed only 11 and guaranteed 4 of them. He only resigned because he was told the party would be crushed in 74 losing all of the 14 seats (they lost 4 thanks to the resignation) and thus sealing his eventual impeachment in 75.

    1. And Manchin, Heitkamp, and McCaskil probably wouldn’t vote with the rest of the Democrats anyway (sorry if I butchered the name spellings) – I don’t even know why they call themselves Democrats (they’re way to the right of me and I’m probably one of the furthest-right people here!).

    2. PS- If the impeachment happened and before January 2019, there is 1 Republican senator who might vote with the Democrats: John McCain of Arizona (he prefers Presidents who AREN’T impeached…)! It would also be a no risk vote for Jeff Flake and Bob Corker (Flake might vote yes, Corker probably not though) since they’re retiring.

  4. These spear phishing attacks is “news” in the sense that sending an e-mail is “news” – it just isn’t. These sort of attacks happen to all major organizations from all kinds of groups, from countries to kids in their parents’ basements EVERY SINGLE DAY. This is just fear mongering about “the Russians”. As an IT professional that’s had it drilled into his head how constant and incessant attacks are and how we need to be vigilant to them, this is just not news. Might has well say that “This just in: the sun rose in the east this morning”

    If someone falls for it and there is a break-in, that would be worth reporting.

  6. @LeslieGuerra. Yes, since TYT came out with the apps, there has been a substantial lag between the page loading and the download buttons appearing. A reminder that TYT is, at the end of the day, first and foremost a private business.

    1. I have tried different browsers, cleared the cache and still no video link. Just a description of the show and all these comments. It is not a matter of time… I was able to view yesterday’s shows, but even today, those links are not giving me a video to click on. I have opened a query with their support.

  8. About the security clearance of Phil Mudd, after the Trump supporter accused him of using his security clearance for money, his response was an emphatic: “I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU!!!!” and then he stormed off the set to smoke. I’m old school (and just old)!

    Also, screw whispering of a dream, I’m going to give all of you a prophecy (It’s about a Senator named Elizabeth Warren) – She was a Senator who practiced three powers: She could move people with words, envision the future, and stop bills in committee. On her deathbed after her two terms as President she vowed that the Warren line of women in government would grow in power with each generation culminating in the arrival of 3 sisters, sisters who would be the most powerful witches – er, public servants ever known, one controlling each branch of government. They would be the protectors of the innocent and would be known as “The Charmed Ones”. How’s that guys?

    CBC is the Canadian Broadcasting Service, or a Complete Blood Count if you’re in the medical field.

  9. The rot begins at the root and the rot of corruption begins in the constitution:

    Lobbying is constitutional (Petition clause, Free Speech) and Warren’s proposal is deeply unconstitutional no matter how well intentioned it is.

  10. Americans keep screaming “I hate corruption” but keep voting in these corrupt politicians! What is wrong with people? We have an organization (Justice Democrats) who are incorruptible, and will work for the American people. You must vote for these people, you must take an interest in our American democracy! America please take an interest in our system and vote for these Justice Democrats. It is the only way to save our country.
    G.O.P Cultservatives, you are traitors to this great nation and you will one day feel the pain of your demise. Voting against your very own interest as you do consistently, is why America is on the fast tract to implosion. How can you look your kids in their eyes every night and tell them all is good, when you constantly do all you can to sell your country out? Shame on you! May God have mercy on your evil souls! You realize this G.O.P in office right now, will go down in history as the worst political party that has ever existed. Shame of it is, you guys still have a lot of time to destroy America More than you already have. MAGA, traitors to the great American experience. 500 years from now, historians will explain how “MAGA Movement” was the beginning of the end for the United States of America. First Rome fell, then the NAZI’s and finally America. What did they all have in common – evil/corruption.

    2. Spot on lou4garcia!! My thoughts exactly but you are being too kind to this Putin-Installed Fraud and Traitor Trump and his live-in family White House crime syndicate. I just joined TYT – I’ve been following Cenk, Ana, John, and many other fine folks on this wonderful channel on YOU TUBE along with another of my favorites Farron Cousins on The Ring of Fire (excellent) for two years – now I am part of the progressive march to Justice Democratic Victory against this bunch of Republican traitors – Our guy in NH is Progressive Chris Pappas whom I support – Yay Putin’s Hitman, Manafort is done – Yup we got him — Cohen is now whining the truth and consequences against the Trumpzilla gang – and my favorite and best scenario would be — the Ladies are and will take this perverted predatory pig down single handed just on his sexual perversion alone. And Omarosa (who at least has intelligence above the 5th grade level) may have been blind-sided and played and remained deaf to this traitor’s lying incoherent racist bigoted dribble is now a shining moment in my opinion. At least she’s finally opened her eyes and realized her mistakes. We are forced to watch these enabling shameless dep-lorable Trump women known as SORF (strings of rotten fish) by name: Conway, Suckabee, Ingraham, Coulter, Nielsen, Haley, the big boob blonde in the middle of the stooge couch on Fake Fox News or that other Fox screwball judge Jeannie who wants to replace foghorn racist longhorn Sessions – yikes it gets worse! and their constant despicable spiel, but hey, I “Love it” ! Next let’s get Kushner and Family, Donnie Jr, Bannon, Dowd, Hannity, Dobbs, Prince, Devious Betsy, Sessions, Mnuchen, Ghouliani, and the list goes on and on and on. OMG my first post is a novel.
