United States5 days ago - Neo-Liberal drivel -Begala and Hellmann r the worst
You guys just don’t get it. And you never will. Heilmann, this country does not support Israel anymore . Abdul is 100 % correct and it’s his confidence and refusal to back down that upsets you so much. If you and Begala think this is “fringe left “, you’re both so out of touch. and should just hang your hats. THIS ISNT 2005 anymore . A new generation doesn’t want your stale neo liberal policy Can’t wait to vote for Abdul and this episode made me so much more inclined to support candidates who do... more
Apple Podcasts1cet blaineUnited States6 days ago - Lindsey Graham
What a coincidence, Lindsey Graham dies of a disease that could be covertly induced as much as it could be natural..... Pretty standard Russian active measures tactics….Oh he was coming back from Ukraine too, imagine that ......Then Trump overrides Graham's Ukraine bill 🤔.
Putin knew Graham could not be around to talk Trump out of going over the hill.
Walks like a duck. Looks like a duck…….
Apple Podcasts5Prometheus---United States12 days ago Neera wtf? You and your ilk's strategy has failed twice. And excuse me y'all will not stop talking about piker since April, in the example you played was him responding to her tweet about him. Bsff. This was not an honest episode and i find it wrong. Try go listening to him, reading her tweets, and let me tell you this Tanden is washed up, irrelevant, and should stfu. And john do your homework, you were lazy as fuck clipping him out of context. He does matter. He's less racist & sexist than you
