presumably, nobody in the normal press likes Blumenthal or considers him a journalist like themselves, and thus would not write about him. :rip:

So to understand the Morales thing, he did win the election but is term-limited? that’s unusual

"are we the baddies", but it's two liberals looking around and eyeing donald trump, john bolton, elliot abrams, and the persecution and intimidation of a journalist and concluding nahhhh

Max quit a job a few years ago hoping that Shamine Narwani would die in jail for helping Assad cover up his crimes. So those posters are in good company.

Its amazing that despite how much hatred and vitriol Trump hurls at the press that they think that they are somehow safe and immune and still don't think they will be the first ones facing a firing line if Trump actually does pull off a coup or gets his way

this has been matt taibbi's line for the last few weeks, he's been going after the media for accepting without question the line the deep state has been feeding them (and hiring a lot of intelligence officers as talking heads) because they want trump out of office without waiting for an election.

i just listened to the interview and have no idea what you're talking about, what do you mean? he seems appropriately outraged about essentially getting swatted. jimmy dore sucks and has strong crank energy tho maybe he's throwing off the conversation to you

it’s not surprising most modern media members are so deep in the government corner they have never experienced even mild inconvenience from the gov. So it’s hard to take Trumps seriously when you believe you have always been a beacon of truth but nothing ever happens to you

At the 20 minute mark he makes it sound like tensions were fairly minimal after the police were inside, immediately after they were threatening to break down his door.

Listen to Max talk about other subjects and he is more animated and collected in his thoughts.

they hate people who question the american government more than the government does. the media is made up of true believers in the cult of 'merica and they would gladly walk to the gallows for it, assuming all the while that they were going to be the executioner instead of the executed

That's what being a moderate gets you. Also he could've easily escaped with his life but was literally too stupid to do anything that could injure his pride.
