Like name something new these transcripts revealed that people weren't already saying and believing.

dude she literally said during the primaries that she was going to be just as tough on banks as sanders, just in a smarter way. i realize people were sceptical about those claims, but that's different than actually having proof she told the banks a very different story. these transcripts would certainly have been ammunition for the sanders campaign.

Is this like one of those things where Beck finally saw a mirror of what he could have been/what he was in Trump?

VICE: A lot of people have said that you are the man responsible for Donald Trump.

BECK: Couldn't. Be. Further. From. The truth.

VICE: Why?

BECK: Because I'll take you to the episodes where I warned that that man would come. And I warned him-. I warned them [it would come] on the right. Watch out! What's happening in Europe, and I was told not to use the word "Nazi" because I was describing what was happening over in Europe.

One whole series I did was about what was happening over in Europe. I said the Nazis are rising up. The old hatreds... There's wasn't the Golden Dawn Party then, there wasn't any of these parties that were rising up. This... this movement that Trump [is part of], he didn't start. He tapped into [it]. If anyone cause it, then it was the political parties lying to the people on both sides.

[Sarcastically] Oh yeah, if you elect me, I'm going to pass health care! I'm going to repeal health care! Then we elect, and you don't do it. Well, how many times can you do that before people say: "Enough of you guys." There's always someone to stand up and-.

VICE: So, you don't think there's anything that you did in the past-.

BECK: Of course, I-.

VICE: That contributed to this climate now.

BECK: Yeah! I've said that three times today.

VICE: Give me an example of something you really regret. An actual example.

BECK: Really?

VICE: Yeah, why not?

BECK: Because it's been said eight thousand times... I'm willing to take my share of it if it will... if it will help people listen to the warning now. If it will help people listen to the warnings now, I'll take all of it.

VICE: Do you think there's any hope for [the GOP]?

BECK: No.

It's not like Illinois is competitive for Prez, but Senate is closer than I expected. If we can get that dickhead Mark Kirk out of office, I'll be well pleased.

I watched that thing. He really comes off as someone truly crushed by the state of the party he believed in. Beck's anguish is a bit more specific, even. He expected the GOP to be a complete poo poo, but it killed him that the voters themselves turned out in such droves for Trump.

no they didn't, because they didn't have them. they attacked her on not releasing the transcripts and there was speculation that what she was saying during the primaries was not what she actually believed w.r.t. financial regulation. but honestly i feel like we're talking past each other and this discussion isn't going anywhere, so i'll drop it.

I don't know man rear end just doesn't work with the rest of his official title

"Fugitive rapist and antisemite rear end"

Maybe with Julian?

"Fugitive rapist and antisemite Julian rear end"

Hmm no I think this works best:

"Fugitive rapist and antisemite Julian Assange"

His full name actually sounds like he's a French aristocrat or something, which on its own isn't funny, but it becomes hilarious when contrasted against everything that he says and does. It's like a country bumpkin KKK member having a name of "Cornelius Alfonse III"

I could never get a read on Beck. I think he probably considers himself to be a good entertainer and has justified a lot of behavior that way. Have a hard time believing he's doing this out of the goodness of his convictions and not some kind of specific angle - I'd expect that to become clear shortly.

He's been rejected by the alt-right and Breittbart/Drudge crowd to the point where he can barely pay his bills. He sold his 200,000 square foot office in New York and now all but 5 of his employees work from their homes. His unique hits are down by over 50% from 3 years ago. He's trying to make a shift so that he remains relevant somehow and can continue to cash in. Period.

Save for the Mormons, it seems like all the guys in actual elected office are completely OK with Cheeto Benito as long as he'll appoint the SCOTUS judges they want. He was clever to make it clear that he'd let the Heritage Foundation pick his nominees, I guess.

Hillary could probably make them completely capitulate on something by promising to let them pick one SCOTUS judge and then pull it back like Lucy with the football. The trick would, probably, only work once, but I think it WOULD work, once.
