  • Love this poscast !!

    ….. But Al needs to quit constantly coming to defense of Merrick Garland. It is absurd! Garland is the reason we are screwed and Al shows he can’t be objective on this subject for some reason

    Out of touch, old man Carville has truly lost the plot.

  • Lame Duo

    James Carville and Al Hunt might be the definition of political spin – full of noise but little substance. Always more focused on stirring the pot than offering anything truly new. Just another reminder that some opinions are better left unheard.

  • Texts are not calls

    Al Hunt referred to the Signal chat as a “call” more than once. He also said we can hear Tulsi Gabbard’s voice on a recording. Unless I missed something, this was a text chat on the commercial Signal app. There was no call. There is no recording. Al sounds as clueless about modern technology as Trump. It was also not Jeff Greenfield. It was Jeffrey Goldberg. Guess James didn’t catch these gaffes since he didn’t say anything.
