"So I Went On Bill Maher And This Happened..."
And here's the insane "Morning Joe" appearance from 2013 that he talks about (in which Mika Brzezinski acts like a complete idiot):

in which Mika Brzezinski acts like a complete idiot
Evergreen, as Taranto would say. She and he were in the box at a Red Sox fame with me one time. Imagine the idiocy with some extreme obnoxiousness of celebrity. It was disturbing…
I’m listening to Brand on Rogan in the car today. He occasionally lapses into that inappropriately speedy cadence that only women can hear…
Russell is a hyper genius. he's plugged in to the reality.
So - the left hate him.
You can find Russell Brand's sentiment right here in the comments!!
NOBODY promoted Trump more than Morning Joe in 2015. Joe and Mika LOVED having him on. Boosted ratings I'm sure. They even stalked him showing up at Mara Lago uninvited.
How about the douchebag who says to Brand "I can't understand you".
Mika's behavior is no surprise. When people are confronted with the truth, when they are in on constant lies they either shut down, squirm, or double down and react with anger.
See Anthony Fauci responding to Rand Paul.
That's no act.
"Mika's behavior is no surprise. When people are confronted with the truth...."
I think her behavior has to do with finding him sexually attractive. He has to ask that he not be objectified.
squirm... indeed
Brand stands up to and calls out his inquisitors much the same as Jordan Peterson.
like steve and eydie and sinatra, this is the democracy that maher wanted, so lie back and think of england
Brand is a cool kid. Rock on!
I think her behavior has to do with finding him sexually attractive.
squirm... indeed
A boy would chase the girl, and, perhaps, pull her ponytail.
Were they conflating Russell Brand and Willy Brandt?!
Cool. I'm sure Mutaman will be by shortly to fact check Brand's positions one by one.
important thing, that Mr Brand points out..
It's RUDE to use a third person PRONOUN, to refer to sitting next to you in the room.
STOP SAYING HE! (or she (or zhe (or zhwoa (or smockles (or Any "pronoun")))))
People, have NAMES!!! USE THEIR NAME (even if it's Ann without an 'E' :)
'And here's the insane "Morning Joe" appearance from 2013 that he talks about (in which Mika Brzezinski acts like a complete idiot):'
Acts?
"I think her behavior has to do with finding him sexually attractive. He has to ask that he not be objectified."
Compared to Joe, Brand is Sean Connery and Carey Grant rolled into one...
Tucker played a long excerpt last night from his interview with Brand, in which the comedian was dressed exactly like the first photo in your post. Peace love and truth are the values he aspires to demonstrate now so he has nothing in common with politically driven people. Let's face it, politically driven people are the most pernicious destructive America-hating minority we can categorize. No other minority holds such outsize power in our system. The rest of us have normal feelings.
Someone needs to tranq dart that dude.
That was incredible. Brand was absolutely right when he told Mika you're talking about me as I weren't here and as if I were an alien. I can't remember anything more unprofessional, but I don't watch TV anymore... perhaps this behavior was typical? Surely not?
That being said, I have quite a bit of disagreement with Brand. He's far too anarchistic and mystical for me. I do find him to be intellectually challenging and interesting. But we do agree on the basics, freedom of information and rule by the people.
I consider it to be a good day when I have time to watch a Brand podcast, followed by either Dave Rubin, or Jordan Peterson, or Joe Rogan...
And to prove Brand's point in the newer video, none of these people are supported by, and rarely allowed on, the MSM. The closest thing to them on the MSM is Gutfeld and look how popular he is. Yet none of the competitors are even trying to compete for the Gutfeld viewers. You don't think Joe Rogan could draw viewers on Late Night television? He could be what The Late Late Show used to be. It will never happen.
No one ought talks Russell Brand. He is quicker than Kanye.
Peterson, Brand, West and Trump. The four horsemen of the
apocalypse.
..if you sit on a board of a weapons manufacturer, and you go on the TV and say that there should be a war and we should spend Your money (public taxpayer money) on Weapons..
NOT that this has ANYTHING to do with Jo Biden's war in the Ukraine!
It's IMPORTANT, for US all to realize; that The Only Reason we have troops (? already?? Not yet?? Soon??), and weapons in the Ukraine is: BECAUSE WE WANT TO!
It's NOT because Raytheon wants US to!

People who like to talk about and participate in politics are a tribe.
They can't understand people who are not interested in politics. They call them things like "Low Information Voters" and belittle them for not voting.
This is why Republicans and Democrats all hate Donald Trump.
They hate Trump because he is bringing more people into the political sphere by representing large swaths of the population that is not represented by Republicans or Democrats.
It is more fun for people in the political tribe to belittle people on the outside than it is to engage them.
The Iraq war started during the Bush Sr. administration, was sustained under the Clinton administration, and ended with a trial during the Bush Jr administration. The second Iraq war was funded and effectively part of the World War Spring series in progress... that were and are of no consequence.
Holy crap. That MSNBV interview was the worst I've ever seen. It should be taught in schools as "How not to conduct an interview." Pardon my language but those MSNBC co-hosts scuk.
"They hate Trump because he is bringing more people into the political sphere"....
Well, some of us hate him because he is a self-destructive, narcissistic jerk and liar.
Zika Mika.
"They hate Trump because he is bringing more people into the political sphere"....
Well, some of us hate him because he is a self-destructive, narcissistic jerk and liar.
This is why Republicans and Democrats all hate Donald Trump.
And, I would add, hate their voters too. At minimum they have great disdain for voters. Thank God Mitch was motivated by something to appoint judges during Trump's first term, it certainly was not because the R base wanted it. Must be some inside baseball reasoning or SCOTUS was his fig leaf to keep us from revolting. I just don't know anymore. When Russel Brand and Glen Greenwald are the voices of sanity things have definitely taken a turn.
Did not watch 10 year old Mika but Brand is carrying forward a line of argument since the Cold War in the sixties. Or earlier. I was very opposed to the Iraq War, but do not believe it was the product of defense industry lobbying for weapons purchases. I support support for Ukraine's resistance to Russia but not for any reason in Brand's monologue. The defense industry does not like relatively low tech wars like Iraq and Ukraine. It prefers high tech spending to meet future threats.
Of course he's right about MSNBC --and CNN--being for Trump before they were against him.
Well, some of us hate him because he is a self-destructive, narcissistic jerk and liar.
and that doesn't describe at least 90% of the politicians out there? Most definitely including the current president?
rrsafety said...Well, some of us hate him because he is a self-destructive, narcissistic jerk and liar.
There are certainly people who pretend that's why they hate him. But they have no problem with any of those things from people who they see as political allies.
when the going gets weird, the weird go pro,
He's a pretty intense talker all right! I just shaved my beard off because it went gray like that. Well worse than that. And I didn't like putting sunscreen on my face with all that hair and in order to avoid any additional face cancer I have to do it. So I kinda had mixed motives.
When DOESN'T Mika act like a complete idiot. I remember her little girl cooing over Trump when her and her murderous husband were courting him.
People who hate Trump are losers.
I don't hate Trump at all. I just don't buy into the fairy-tale.
I wish Trump were prez right now (as he should be) because while he was president - life was good.
The stock market was strong. The economy was strong. No new wars. No covid... etc...
The left had to destroy him. The left had to destroy our great economy - because it threatens their rice bowls.
The left want life to suck. MSNBC-watchers are on board with the BS and the lies of the corrupt left.
I found this comment by rrsafety interesting:

There is no one in politics or anywhere who are free from the temptations we all face. To HATE someone for the human failings you list is rather extreme, much more extreme than any political opinion could be. You are essentially hating Trump for having human qualities, ones that I assert every single politician has in some measure. In fact we all do.
So do you direct this hate at people in general or just Trump? How do you feel about Biden? About yourself?
I see I'm not alone in noting the weird hatred angle. Kudos to Gahrie and good Tim.
"and that doesn't describe at least 90% of the politicians out there? Most definitely including the current president?"
'Vote Trump, he is like all the others!' is a lousy campaign slogan.
Brand on Morning Joe...
Check out the expression on Brand's face at about 6:00, and his glances following. It's like he's suddenly realized just how profoundly empty-headed those three are, and he's switching to David Attenborough mode. Except he's decided to actively screw with them, on air, safe in the knowledge that they will be completely unaware.
Hilarious!
Destruction of the country, as we've known it is the point, that's why girder of our foundation is being dismantled, aviation, medicine, the legal system the military

"Cool. I'm sure Mutaman will be by shortly to fact check Brand's positions one by one."
We will never, ever be in danger of Mutamans rapier like logic. Ever.
The thing about Brand is that he's not only intelligent, but he's seen the "compassion" of the other side first hand. Also. He's funny as hell.
A delightful rant. Thanks, Ann.
Wow. I had never watched Morning Joe before. They are morons. I also used to be quite annoyed by Brand when I tried to watch him. He's too cute by half, but he's certainly no dummy.
There's a good breakdown of Brand's communication in that Morning Joe interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9Na6CmJwn4
The genre is pick on the girl, a role long used on male-hosted radio shows. It's specifically exempt from sexual harassment law. Only this guy took on the host role on a show that wasn't his.
I'm less interested in who hates which pol than in who the pol hates.
It's clear to me that the professional pols of both parties almost universally hate my ass and my concerns, and those of other normies.
The first video on Rumble plays fine.
The second video on YouTube consistently comes up with an error and won't play.
Other YouTube videos play just fine.
They hate Trump because he is bringing more people into the political sphere by representing large swaths of the population that is not represented by Republicans or Democrats.
I have to agree with you there, although I am really tired of Trump and his schtick.
The way in which he presents himself turns him off to a large swath of voters who might otherwise be persuaded to vote for him. Perhaps, Althouse is an example.
"this guy took on the host role on a show that wasn't his."
Now, that's entertainment!
Brand's IQ is higher than the total IQ of the other three, which is why he could do it.
Mika is not acting.
Althouse wrote: "I think her behavior has to do with finding him sexually attractive."
Yes. It's very obvious. American women predictably and routinely go weak in the knees for a British accent, and also for men with long hair. Brand leaves a strong impression..."a bad boy who doesn't play by the rules?" Many women can't resist that either.
I'd never seen Morning Joe before myself, but it seems dumber than The View. They come across as high school kids chatting in the cafeteria about things they don't understand.
'Vote Trump, he is like all the others!' is a lousy campaign slogan.
It's certainly better than "We'll do anything it takes including breaking the law and violating the Constitution to get Trump because he's different".
"5.3 billion dollars"... "that's a lot of hatred for Trump"
That's why the left need Trump - hatred for him generates the big bucks.

The more notable event would be when she didn't so act.

Well, the first thing you could do is point out any of these lies.
Then you could point out any politician that isn't a narcissistic jerk. The only person I might exclude is Rand Paul but his spam fundraising emails have changed my mind of late.
Trump is the only politician in the political sphere who actually tried to do what he said he would do.
I think this is specifically because he isn't a politician. Trump did things for decades, Then he joined politics.
I am hoping Vivek Ramaswamy can be similar. Kari Lake as well.

Trump's schtick is that he fights the globalists and their media tools.
You are talking about a group of people that is besotted with the beautiful people and has spent their whole life reading the New York media. This group of mostly women is so afraid of being cast out by the elites and the intellectual class they will recoil from anyone that fights.
The problem isn't Trump. It is the class consciousness of people that would rather kneel and be accepted than fight against an obvious corrupt elite political class.
Only someone with a very high disagreeable rating is going to be able to do what needs to be done.
The only way Trump could make people like you and Ann happy is to be a disingenuous liar like all the other politicians that tell you what you want to hear and betray you at first chance.
You just want to be flattered and lied to.

Mika could not stop touching her hair. She was also looking away and smiling while doing that lean out.
What was interesting to me was watching the other woman decide if she needed to compete with Mika for Russel's attention.
Russel also made it obvious he thought the other 3 people were not worth paying attention to. Treating a woman like Mika like she is pathetic and below your required level of attractiveness is a good way to get someone like Mika to want to be with you. It is a daddy issue thing which most leftist women have.
It would be a good video to teach man how to determine if they should ask a girl out. If she wears panties she had to change them after this set.

Part of the draw of being in a political tribe is looking down on people not in the tribe.
You always have a group of people around you that will affirm you as long as you hate the right people.
This is why Ann will not currently be able to support Trump. She needs the affirmation of people that will cast her out if she doesn't hate him and the icky people that support him. They are all working/poor/middle class.
Nobody in the New York media can stomach someone that doesn't treat these low lifes with scorn and contempt.
Russell Brand on Rumble has become my daily staple. That bit he did a while back about Morning View was hilarious and telling, I am glad you are sharing that as well as the other.
No one else is diving as deep into the anti-citizen perspectives of global corporate power and no one is articulating our moment as vividly as the lovely Mr. Brand is.
I was annoyed when he was off his programming last week, but then saw it was 'cause he headed over here, and what a great move and impact he had.
Huzzah! and
#StayFree
You just want to be flattered and lied to.
Achilles,
It sounds like you just want to be angry and confrontational. The problem is that you are not hearing where others are coming from because of your anger.
Off camera after the interview, a technician had to use to a spatula to scrape Mika out of that chair.
They ought to try using Teflon seats.
Russell is quite easily understood by other working class Englishmen. The speed of his ideas being expressed in the mother tongue of the Brits and Americans sounds normal to Scots, English and Americans that descend from them. The reason people start they’re responses to Russell with a pretense of not understanding is to slow him down by changing the subject.
The real interesting thing about Mr Brand is his brilliant logic combined with an emotional intelligence that is seldom seen in combination.

I suspect "the left" (sic) thinks about him much, one way or the other.
“Brezinsky acts like a complete idiot…”
“Brezinsky IS a complete idiot.”
There, fixed it for you.
Ann Althouse said...
" I think her behavior has to do with finding him sexually attractive. "
No where near "N.I. G. on the pajamas", but its up there.
Mika's hair is probably too short for adolescent expression, but she could always pull Brand's hair to express her affection.
There is a time in every civilization when the elite caste gets infested with persons whose goals are to be in the elite as opposed to actually doing the jobs the elite are supposed to do. Once they get into power, they keep anyone competent out. The United States has reached that level. The levers of power and their lackeys, which Mika very much is, are filled with these corrupt beings and they will not be dislodged easily. The fact that Mika is an incompetent twit is actually in her favor; she just needs to serve the purposes of the elite, which she does like the sycophant she is.
Oh well.
If Jordan Peterson had a sense of humor, or Glenn Greenwald could bend his neck.
I still think Ted Cruz would have aced more primaries if he had grown that beard six months earlier.
Weirdly, Trump's comb over has always won him chutzpah points.
readering: "Of course he's right about MSNBC --and CNN--being for Trump before they were against him."
Your lies are becoming ever more pathetic, something I did not think possible. Little wonder you and LLR-democratical Chuck are on the same side.
MSNBC and CNN were part of the Hillary "pied piper" strategy whereby the media would pump Trump up thinking he would be the weakest candidate against Hillary. Of course, Trump's populist appeal is what got him over the line in the midwest states....including a midwest state where Hillary was so overconfident she decided she didn't even need to campaign there.
So, in summary: readering is lying about MSNBC & CNN ever being "for" Trump.
Naturally, I'm sure its simply an oversight or an accident on readering's part because readering is usually quite diligent in his/her research and facts........
.........LOL!
Leftist should watch that clip..
Bill Kristol -Supercon/war monger is now part of the MSNBC fold. MSNBC has connections to the big war and weapons corporations.
Mutaman: "I suspect "the left" (sic) thinks about him much, one way or the other."
Well, they've gone out of their way to declare him another right-winger and MAGA type soooooooooo, brace yourself, you're wrong. Or lying.
Either way, doesn't matter.
If I understood him, Russell Brand is claiming MSNBC is owned by GE, which sold its last stake in its various NBC properties to Comcast in 2013. And he’s claiming some unspecified financial tie between MSNBC and Pfizer. And perhaps he doesn’t know that the big BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street ownership stakes in Comcast he whispers conspiratorially about largely consist of retirement plan money for individual Americans.
"5.3 billion dollars"... "that's a lot of hatred for Trump"
HBTPFH: "That's why the left need Trump - hatred for him generates the big bucks."
Yeah, they could never raise any big bucks against any other republican. Just Trump. All those democratical billionaires will simply sit on their cash if Trump doesn't run.
Talk about magical thinking.

You people keep making these comments without addressing any of the points I bring up.
I very clearly understand why you people hate Trump.
The problem is you are just not honest about why you hate Trump.
I thought Mika looked human and that the interplay was comical and entertaining. Brand definitely took them all out of their comfort zone. Sometimes she's annoying, but, in her favor, compared to Hillary, the Viewettes, and Kamala, she's charming and personable. You've got to judge her on the curve.
Brand's statements would sound more profound if he slowed down the wpm. With the right kind of delivery and baritone, the most banal observations sound like deep insights into the tragedy of the human condition. Walter Cronkite never said anything half as bright as Brand, but his observationss alway sounded like the result of years of pondering and reflecting on the world around him.
I'm not so certain about Edward Snowden's bonafides as Brand. There's a lot about Snowden's story that doesn't add up. Assange and Manning seem more flaky than altruistic....In any event, Brand is a victim of the altruistic fallacy. There seems to be some kind of belief that when people act altruistically they are acting on behalf of humanity. Conversely, when they act of behalf of money they are acting against the best interests of humanity....That's wrong. The Bolsheviks and Maoists were all convinced that they were killing just the right people who needed killing and that they were the heralds of a new dawn for humanity. They sacrified wealth and comfort in their personal lives in order to kill millions.....Then there's the Pfizer executives. They were, I suppose, primarily motivated to make money for Pfizer but along the way they developed a vaccine that--whatever its faults--has saved millions. And ponder the Pfizer Riser, Viagra, that has done so much to spread love and joy among our older citizens....A man is seldom so perniciously occupied as when he is inflicting Utopia on his fellow citizens. Conversely, as Dr. Johnson would say, a man is seldom so harmlessly occupied as when he is pursuing money.
I don't think Ghandi died for a cause. I thought he died from sleeping naked with too many young girls. Like Mao.
What is with that man's teeth?
It's RUDE to use a third person PRONOUN, to refer to sitting next to you in the room.
STOP SAYING HE! (or she (or zhe (or zhwoa (or smockles (or Any "pronoun")))))
I became friends with a man older then I, 10 years back. He would point out some of my verbal tics that annoyed him. A big one was when I use 'my wife'. He stopped me. You don't own her...she has a name...USE it.
So much like Brand was trying to do. Learn some simple manners. Its a sign of respect (disrespect so get it right.
I'm much better, but revert too often.
William said, “ There seems to be some kind of belief that when people act altruistically they are acting on behalf of humanity. Conversely, when they act of behalf of money they are acting against the best interests of humanity....That's wrong.”
I agree with you there.
Then you say, “Then there's the Pfizer executives. They were, I suppose, primarily motivated to make money for Pfizer but along the way they developed a vaccine that--whatever its faults--has saved millions.”
1. Has it saved millions? How many has it endangered?
2. Did Pfizer make its vaccine money by creating a vaccine or did it make its money by lobbying and paying off (with lucrative contracts, appointments, etc.) Was the vaccine simply the vehicle that transferred taxpayer money from the government to Pfizer and then back to those same officials as they entered the private sector.
I think her behavior has to do with finding him sexually attractive.
I guess she's not quite as stupid as I thought.
Then point out what I am not hearing and addressing. You people keep making these comments without addressing any of the points I bring up. I very clearly understand why you people hate Trump.
You have just provided Example #1.
I cannot think of a single conservative on this site who hates Trump. Not liking his style is the issue. If you conflate the two, you are serving the interests of the usual lefties here.
You are talking about a group of people that is besotted with the beautiful people and has spent their whole life reading the New York media. This group of mostly women is so afraid of being cast out by the elites and the intellectual class they will recoil from anyone that fights.
Oh yes. This class envy by "gentry class" mediocrities. The "Peter Principle" has been forgotten but it would explain a lot of these people.
"What is with that man's teeth?"
He's English.
"It's RUDE to use a third person PRONOUN, to refer to sitting next to you in the room."
That's fatuous nonsense. Are we to suppose that all these wankers who tell us their pronouns only expect us to use them when they are not present?
Drago is a loon, and obsessed with me. She/he is also, like Achilles, obsessed with pronouns.
That 15 minute video of his in the post seemed very much in the style of Glenn Beck in his FNC days a decade ago: associate the target of the day with the alleged intentions of fiscal stakeholders. Where Beck would toss out the names of leftist organizations like the Tides Foundation, Brand tossed out the names of major defense companies. All that was missing was a whiteboard.
Readering: "Drago is a loon, and obsessed with me. She/he is also, like Achilles, obsessed with pronouns."
Readering writes transparently false and moronic things.
People notice.
Readering becomes upset.
A tale as old as time.
It’s pretty clear Mika was completely enamored with him.
"Brand tossed out the names of major defense companies."
Yes, the merchants of death (now branched out to health care). The corporations who have all but a few of our legislators in their pockets, and spend billions to control the narratives.
Who needs a whiteboard?
That's 15:46 of my life I'd like to have back.
If you agree, click on the chat or let me know in the comments. It's you that decides, not the corporate media.

The New Statesman has an article about their sometime contributor Russell Brand
Comment
7 March 2023
We have lost Russell Brand
This once-sexy communist has become an American culture wars pundit.
By Finn McRedmond
Russell Brand can’t make up his mind. Speaking on the comedian Bill Maher’s talk show last weekend, Brand launched into a tinny rant that encompassed every right-wing signalling trope: the ghoulish mainstream media, the dishonest and untrustworthy pharmaceutical industry, the West’s shameful treatment of Julian Assange and “American hero” Edward Snowden, and the Covid drug Ivermectin. He then pivoted leftwards, and rounded off his angry sermon with an endorsement for, erm, Bernie Sanders. ...
That's all I got without subscribing. I wasn't aware that Assange and Snowden were right-wing heroes, but it looks like the NS isn't willing to each issue separately and decide each on their own merits.
What’s with screaming?
Brand and Rock have been full scream in recent days.
It’s as if these guys see an opening in show biz because Gottfried is dead. Show biz needs more screaming.
But these guys are both bigger than Gottfried ever was in show biz. What can they gain by yelling so much, i.e. by going full Gottfried?
Everyone seems to think that Brand and (especially) Rock were great with all the yelling. So I’m sure I’m a weirdo for not loving this full scream sorta thing-y.
He's flirting with Mika and simultaneously bored with Mika. It's interesting watching him because his mind is fast and he's bored with the conversation. So he simply reverts to humor mode and lightly mocks and teases them and essentially says nothing.
I've seen Brand give wildly different videos. Here he is talking slowly and calmly and no humor whatsoever. It's about abortion so he's incredibly serious, solemn and sensitive in this clip.
And as others have mentioned, here's his Tucker interview.
It's fast-paced and kind of manic. But his words are deeply felt and I had the same reaction as Tucker had. There is some genuine wisdom in what he's saying.
Brand is a performer and these are wildly different in tone and style. But I never get the sense that he's fake or fraudulent. He's rambunctious in one interview (Mika and friends), rambunctious and intense in another interview (Tucker) and intense and quiet in the third interview (Amanda Palmer).
He's funny and likes to be funny, obviously super-intelligent, and genuinely curious about other people. He's also fucked up a lot of things in his life, and he knows it, so he's got a great sort of humility and honesty.
NorthOfTheOneOhOne,
just to see Joe get cucked.
"You're ovulating!"
"'Vote Trump, he is like all the others!' is a lousy campaign slogan."
Ahhh, did RR think moving those goal posts would be effective. The topic was that you HATE!!!!! Trump. Or do you "hate" 90 percent of politicians?
The point you’re not hearing or reading Achilles is that Trump’s name has been poisoned the last 7 years so badly that millions of weak women and others will never vote for him. That is a fact. Maybe he could have saved a few million of those votes last time by just shutting the fuck up A FEW TIMEs. But he couldn’t and he can’t. No matter how much you yell or beat your chest, it just ain’t happening. I love the guy, I understand what he’s saying and I believe he should be president right now. I’ve reached the point of being willing to raise arms against the federal government. Just like you. But he ain’t and won’t be.
Mutaman: "I don't think she/he is a "loon".
Just not very bright and clearly not very well educated."
In lefty world, "Not very bright" = simply not a leftist.
The lefties still call pediatric neuro-surgeon Ben Carson stupid. Well, in that case its not just about Carson being a conservative, its also about punishing a black man for not staying on the democratical political plantation.
LLR-democratical Chuck: "That's 15:46 of my life I'd like to have back."
That seems to be the consensus amongst the democraticals so you are right in line with your political teammates.
JAORE,
What sane person finds even 10% of politicians non-hateable? More like 1%.

I don't think she/he is a "loon".

Point to anywhere on this blog where you have contributed to the conversation. The only thing we have ever seen from you is progressive boilerplate and snark. So you calling Drago, "not very bright" is ironic. No?
Be a better Mutaman. Don't be like Chuck.
I used to dismiss Brand as a little crazy but I've come around. He has thought about stuff and has some really deep insights into stuff like why corruption and why politicians do stuff. I'm impressed. Would love to have him for coffee (not that he needs coffee...).
donald: "The point you’re not hearing or reading Achilles is that Trump’s name has been poisoned the last 7 years so badly that millions of weak women and others will never vote for him."
The point you're not hearing, though its been repeated ad infinitum, is that for every lost vote amongst suburban already democrat-adjacent pro-choice white women, a shrinking demographic, there are more votes to be gained amongst working class/lower classes/rural/populist voters, which includes a larger minority component, which is a larger and growing portion of the electorate.
So you have to choose and we'll see what happens.
Personally, I believe the democraticals hitting DeSantis on TPP and other Paul Ryan-esque trade/economic issues plus DeSantis' votes to raise the age for Soc Sec will enable the dems to Romney-fy DeSantis by August of a general election campaign.
Re Brand's reaction to Mika, simultaneously amused and bored: wonder if that's what ended his marriage to Katy Perry. (I think there were other things going on as well, TBH.)
Like ccscientist above at 10:22am, I never was sure what he was aiming for or if he was legit. But his current incarnation is annoying all the right people so I'll stick with him.
Katy Perry?
Damn. The airhead's airhead.
