A Climactic Encounter Ending on 1 Negate and a Dream
So are we getting another episode this week about the election or will that have to wait for next week's chapo? Because I'm really ready for Matt to eat poo poo about his pessimism except he won't because clearly this means things are actually worse than we thought.

Just because Liquor's dead, doesn't mean you can just roll this bitch all over town with "The Freedoms."
Great episode, but making fun of Brazile for using the term "Fancy Bear" was kind of cringeworthy since that's the actual name of a well-known hacking group.

quote:

The groups, he added, are so familiar to the investigators from previous attacks that they have acquired commonly used nicknames in the security industry. One, “Cozy Bear” or “APT 29,” had been inside the committee’s network for about a year; a second, “Fancy Bear,” also called “APT 28,” breached the system in April.

Same, but for the Seth Rich stuff. I get that his death is a conspiracy theory among the colloidal silver set and that makes it hilarious, but going to work and being reminded of her dead coworker, being sad about it, and doing her best to lean on the cops to resolve the murder using whatever clout she has sounds pretty normal.

It's like the Cosby star thing. Sometimes you're operating on multiple layers of irony you forget what you sound like to normal people.

I think it was more that she had no actual clout to lean on the cops and just kinda the general joke of 'she got weirdly paranoid because she hired some grifters that convinced her of the dangers she was unaware of'. Same with making fun of the name, they weren't really laughing at her they were laughing at the situation where she's talking in grave serious tones about Fancy Bear

The best thing is Amber almost laughing too hard to say “It’s the dang minions!”

Episode is extremely good, looking forward to the inevitable Daou vs Brazile outdoor summer hoops sketch.

I maintain that their essence has been pure in all of their recent subscriber episodes, but their fluids were clearly corrupted during the recording of most of the recent free shows.

in non hilarious name news, but related, if you wanna get Hacks I highly recommend the audio-book. It's narrated by Donna and A) she's a good speaker so it's a fun listen, and B) all that poo poo they read that she quoted herself thinking/saying she sells like it's an Oscar bait movie and it's just wonderful.

It actually is a solid book, like Amber said a bunch it's absolutely her trying to save her image in the aftermath but it does point to her actually being a politically minded person who probably had a way of thinking that would win the election while Mook and his crew just kept pointing to the ~data~ showing the exact optimal route to take for a precise 51% win. She's absolutely an old guard who needs to join the current wave moving over the DNC but she's one of the people in there who actually does know what she's talking about when it comes to just handling elections. It kinda is leaving me hopeful as I read it, because if such an old guard Clinton insider could feel secure to go 'heeeey Clinton's team is maybe the dumbest cocksuckers I've ever seen and somehow almost every stupid idea that happened was her direct plan' that probably speaks a ton to what the actual establishment DNC mood is these days.

Also her dedications are like 15 minutes long when she reads them and it's just loving amazing. She basically dedicated this book to anyone ever shared a business lunch or family member she sends a christmas card to.

Remember when it was Republicans who had the bizarre caveman names? Like "Mitt" and "Trigg?" I assumed it was some sort of Midwestern Hills Have Eyes kind of thing.

the formula seems to be that right wingers tend to have names that are simple one syllable things with some crazy over the top last name from europe so they're a bunch of 'chet sexontry' and 'trip donaldstronm'. That or if they're in the 'intellectual' side they insist on going by their full name at all times and it's always something cartoonishly bad like 'rupert hornsby the third' or 'michael thornbottom-honeysuckle with the saxton institute for western enlightenment preservation esq'.

On the left we just have fuckin bonkers cartoon names where we wind up saying 'uh yea she trusted her campaign's fate entirely in the hands of a dude named 'mook', yea 'mook' as in the dumbest gangster that Superman throws through a window to get to the boss...yea that dude was in charge of the biggest campaign run by the DNC in ages.
