What a pleasure being lectured by former Republicans. Your views having really changed this country for the good.
I enjoy the Bulwark and all of its shows. Thank you for your lecture, your historic views haven’t panned out well. Thanks for being sanctimonious. We remember.
Just to let you know, but LOTS of us care about foreign policy. The rest of the world matters, as it turns out, and as someone who spends a lot of time there, I can tell you they've reaaaaally disgusted with the US. Keep talking about it.
Sarah, between murder bag and prig you had me laughing out loud in my car - Thank you for the content! This is why this 🇨🇦 living in 🇺🇸 LOVES the Bulwark! Headed to Toronto this weekend to experience my favourite podcast at home! You give me faith that I can keep living in the U S of A. If enough people see the country through your eyes I believe America is going to be okay - I hope America is going to be ok 🤞🏻🟥❤️🟥
I’ve been listening to the Bulwark since October 2024 and loved it but didn’t want to commit to Bulwark+. Today I finally had to subscribe. I HAD to hear Sarah and JVLs thoughts about moving forward after the Charlie Kirk shooting. Great job. Keep it up!
As always, I love this show. A comment, though, to address how term “fully depreciated” was used. In show I believe it was defined as referring to woman who has sex with many people, which is clearly the implication. However, it’s actually way worse than that. A fully depreciated property - in subject case, a young woman or girl - would be one who has been all used up, who has no more useful economic life. Gross, vile, inhumane. These Epstein/Maxwell associated oxygen thieves are monsters.... more
