Shimrra Jamaane posted:The Chappo guys were treating Barr as a national hero just the other day. lmao how are you still smoking crack in 2019 edit: Seriously though I don’t get the notion of deciding Chapo sucks because they don’t think a republican prosecutor is a strong bet for liberal or leftists hopes to have a better president; that’s a thing they want too. You could hate them for being smug, which they are, or for being extremely online, which we all are, or for having not respect, or even pity for democratic pundits and pols, but contempt, which they do. But calling them shills for the GOP is just shooting yourself in the foot. selec fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Mar 29, 2019 |

It's pretty telling how hard some of the shitposters will defend a podcast with rape "jokes".

Grouchio posted:*Historically good wave of Democrats win mid-terms* Give people time to process that  , a lot of folks have been investing in the idea for years that the system would deal with Trump, but it's going to take actual effort and that's given some people cold feet - those people are not being entirely unreasonable, as the Democratic Party does not readily inspire confidence. Remember that we've had these moments several times throughout the Mueller investigation where all signs pointed to "nothing is going to come of this" and we had the same doom and gloom for a couple days before people picked themselves off the ground. There will be a lot more optimism when a clear frontrunner in the primary emerges (who isn't terrible).But given 2016 maybe a little less optimism is good. Maybe it's good if we treat Trump's chances at re-election as 50% bare minimum when the polls start telling us we have it in the bag next year.

I see it as a positive for electoral prospects that Trump and the GOP are only doubling and tripling down hard on people who they already have. They have a very solid floor of support but the more they go down that path, the lower their ceiling goes. 'Wins' for Trump don't mean poo poo if he only uses them in ways that alienate people and limit ways of gaining support. More and more people are genuinely sick of his poo poo. On the other hand

I still think a significant portion of Trump’s support is tribalism. It’s us versus them so I’d better support us. Which makes Trump vulnerable to a challenge within his tribe. Maybe the GOP loves listening to Trump create needless chaos, but I think there’s a chunk that misses decorum. Trump still wins his party’s nomination in 2020. I’m not stupid enough to believe he won’t. But every incumbent who beat off a credible primary challenge has lost the general election.

I was referring to the other show that you insisted I must be a fan of since you have to try to smear me to defend lovely comments about rape. But yeah, I don't listen to Chapo either because I don't think lovely comments about rape are very funny or worth attacking people to defend. You lot come off like the idiots defending youtube nazis.

I listened to a chapo episode once and it was about the drugs they were doing when they went to an aquarium, and I realized I was probably not online enough to get their jokes so I stopped listening. Behind the Bastards is good, though. Everyone should listen to that.

Are the Chapo guys still allied with Cum Town, a show that has tons of homophobic/transphobic/racist clips on YouTube that are all like "THIS IS A JOKE AND JUST IRONIC" and if you dare complain about it to their fans they will call you poo poo like "limp-dick idpol wrecker"

The Majority Report is great, but Michael Brooks' (annoying) "impressions" often include plenty of "ironic" racism and homophobia yuk yuk yuk Nobody is perfect, but I haven't listened to a Chapo since the Barr Summary came out, because I don't think they'd survive in my podcatcher if they sound ANYTHING like loving Taibbi and Greenwald on twitter.

Cody from Some More News and his producer do a pod named Even More News thats solid if not kind of dry. So if you find Chapo and PSA insufferable like myself it's a decent option if you need to hear people bitch about Trump

Well, one could also surmise that instead of actively courting anyone but their base, they're instead relying on the Democratic party to nominate another pariah of some sort or another (and that wouldn't be a wildly improbable assumption).

That's been his main advantage with the Republican party all along; he has no internal limits on his self-interest and everyone else does. Anyone who could out-Trump Trump would be an even more horrible person than Trump is.
