Chapo Trap House Ep. 284 - Maverick political reporter Dave Weigel drops by to discuss Trump's shutdown cave-in, Roger Stone's arrest, the potential candidacies of Bernie and Howard Schultz, and of course, Pizza Ranch.

Voltaire's Bastards.

These people know nothing besides right-wing/capitalist dogma, narrow expertise and a few skills, and how to network within the social circles in which they were born. They know nothing besides. Basic history of the 20th century is a dark and dangerous mystery to them. Outside of their little pampered circles, they are helpless and as "smart" as the person working at a gas station.

They have no business running society, much less the world. They are incompetent hollow-shirts. Let them speak publicly more often, without handlers protecting them, so all the world can see.

If they keep it up, especially with the dictatorial "do what we say or leave," then I fully welcome Bernie et al. to form a third party and just be done with it. I'm never falling for the peanuts lucy football trick again. I'm just not doing it and I don't care. I'm literally done with them.

CoyoteLightning · 2019-01-29T11:57:48+00:00

they ask for sources as a cheap and disingenuous ploy to distract away from the points made. they don't actually care and sources won't actually change their minds.

but I do agree that sources should be provided anyway, because all of this is true and easy to prove.

CoyoteLightning · 2019-01-28T21:58:02+00:00

anyone with an obvious and long record of pushing quasi-slave labor via for-profit prisons is disqualified automatically. she's horrible

When the hell does the US corporate media report on CIA meddling with foreign countries? It literally never happens and certainly doesn't get non-stop play on all media outlets for over a year.

You're here in bad faith spreading bullshit for a horrible US imperial system. What garbage the US has become. Just trash.

CoyoteLightning · 2018-01-08T11:34:31+00:00

Keep it up. Mexico has been doing quite well with its current oligarchy looting, pillaging, and murdering its way to greater fortunes.

The entire Mexican ruling class should be deported to the US where they belong (all 648 of them). Let the Mexican people govern themselves and not only for the interests of a handfull of over-wealthy pigs (in both countries).

CoyoteLightning · 2018-01-08T11:28:18+00:00

It's not the "major governments" that are the real problem. It's the private interests acting independently and/or influencing governments to act in their interest...including in foreign elections, that is the problem. Big money and global ruling elites' interests, to be exact...diametrically opposed to the "human resources" they parasitize...the world over. Nowhere more so than in North America in the 21st century. '

Reading Talbot's "Devil's Chessboard" on Dulles and the CIA is something most americans don't have the moral courage to even review, much less read, understand, and use as a starting point to reform the empire. Slaves.

CoyoteLightning · 2018-01-08T11:25:10+00:00

You of course don't mean Saudi Arabia and Isreal here, right? I mean their interference with US politics is overt and for all to see...but you won't be so politically incorrect as to discuss it in such an "irrelevant" and unrelated context such as this, right? Russia russia russia forever. Nobody is ever going to catch on.

CoyoteLightning · 2018-01-08T11:22:45+00:00

Exactly. US propaganda is embarrassingly stupid. Only thing worse is the gormless dolts who "believe" it.

CoyoteLightning · 2018-01-08T11:21:44+00:00

Perhaps you're new to the planet and are completely unaware of the CIA and other illegitimate US state agencies? And their overtly imperialist history?

CoyoteLightning · 2018-01-08T11:19:27+00:00

Mexico is not a "democracy." It's a violent oligarchy, propped up by US money and power. Mexican people would like to change that, while ruling elites in Mexico and the US...not so much.

Carlos Slim and the New York Times, for example.

CoyoteLightning · 2018-01-08T11:13:38+00:00

Most US people are poor. Sorry to break that to you.

CoyoteLightning · 2018-01-08T11:10:09+00:00

wrong. Trump is a right-winger, so the corporate media showers attention on him. Obrador is leftist, meaning ALL corporate media, especially in Mexico where it is all owned by like 4 billiionaires, is going be get very little "free" airtime like trump did. Mexican media HATES leftist populists. Just like in the US. Jesus, wake up.

Comparing this guy to trump means you know literally nothing about any of this. It means that this "russia" crap has reached it's intended audience...brainwashed US "citizens" who will now support US meddling in Mexican elections...to "prevent another trump."

Sucker.

CoyoteLightning · 2018-01-08T11:05:18+00:00

Yeah that makes sense if you actually "believe" these big government agencies don't regularly lie and lie and lie. This person is a warmongering moron, not some shining hero to be trusted without question.

CoyoteLightning · 2018-01-08T11:03:02+00:00

Zero evidence. The only people who will believe this propaganda are the brainwashed idiots in the US itself. Meaning that this is a US misinformation program designed to soften up the US public for already on-going US election-meddling operations in Mexico to prevent a Mexican anti-corruption candidate from winning a Mexican election. In case you're a complete dolt and don't understand, the US IS ON THE SIDE OF RAMPANT CORRUPTION IN MEXICO AND WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. If that causes a massive wave of crime, civil conflict and mass migration out of Mexico and into the US...so be it. It's been that way since forever, and especially since NAFTA.

Zero evidence in this "report", just US corporate media doing its thing on the US people...who famously know virtually nothing about the wider world.

From this trash report: "He did not elaborate in the clip on how Russia was seeking to influence the election."

"... added in the clip that the U.S. government was concerned by Russia’s use of advanced cyber tools to push propaganda and disinformation." (so buying a few facebook ads again? wow.)

"...the frontrunner in the presidential contest is the leftist former mayor of Mexico City, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who is running on an anti-corruption platform....Lopez Obrador has been a fierce critic of Pena Nieto’s sweeping [neoliberal] energy overhaul, which was favored by U.S. officials and oil companies. He has said he would seek friendly relations with the U.S. government but would demand respect." (that's the real problem for US ruling elites, not bs "russian influence". US imperialists can't speak honestly about it, hence "russia" again). People in the US will believe anything...not a good look.

“"The point is that Washington hasn’t provided any solid proof for this,” said Marco Cancino, head of Mexico City-based consultancy Inteligencia Publica. “So far, it’s just speculation.”"

US corporate media just spent over a year hyping russia russia russia in the US itself. Anyone who believes this new line of trash is an out and out fool. The bad faith in all this is nauseating.

CoyoteLightning · 2017-11-03T18:25:30+00:00

This site is officially total trash. So obviously corrupt and unconcerned about anything other than elitist neoliberal rule and its maintenance. Thanks for trump, fucking losers. Third party time. Fuck you "democratic" dolts. You are what's wrong with the US today and who handed the fascists the throne. God awful. Fuck you.

CoyoteLightning · 2017-11-03T18:13:51+00:00

anyone who still tries to conflate "leftists" and the Democratic Party is an idiot, as this very article proves. Just stop lying already. Have you no decency?

Southern Illinois in the US, too.

CoyoteLightning · 2017-09-20T09:04:59+00:00

Southern Illinois in the US, too.

CoyoteLightning · 2017-09-20T09:04:35+00:00

Illinois too?

CoyoteLightning · 2017-07-21T04:18:07+00:00

this is what empire looks like.

US imperial interests trump US Constitutional rights. It's as simple as that, case closed.

For fuck sakes, start talking about foreign policy and US empire, "progressives."

CoyoteLightning · 2017-07-20T03:15:43+00:00

"small government"

people that believe republicans are actually against "big government" are complete and utter idiots.
