'Had a spark when you started but now you're just garbage'

pro brexit hungary applauding cunts, in the name of defying 'neo-liberalism' which means nothing except the opposite of the kind of a society you cowards would be terrified of living in. turns out Taleb was right, no skin in the game. Your start up sucks at least talks about shit yix know about, despite your proclivity for classic humanities...

Chicago kids definitely (talking about) having sex in elementary school LOL

As you all noted, Comey has a deeply held but selectively applied sense of honor; a shield of empathy blindness provides him a cozy cocoon but also makes him confused and defensive when something breaks thru that barrier (e.g., his anger and denial about the concept of "mass incarceration"). In an interview that ran somewhat over an hour, New Yorker's David Remnick made a few efforts to break through, and also - maybe because he had the time - asked some things no one else has. Comey evaded those tough questions, but at least someone tried https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-new-yorker-radio-hour/james-comey-makes-his-case-to-america

It's not a bourgeoise thing. Kids start doing all that pecking order shit very early.

And then the entire class stood up and applauded. And my mother's name... was Albert Einstein.

It's sports night here on Chapo! We're go deep into the Red Zone with local radio call-in favorite, PFT Commenter. We go around the horn and take a tour through the wide world of sports takes: Is Lebron overrated? Should we play the National Anthem before movies? Should you kneel? Did Robert Redford make the right move by leaving Kristen Scott Thomas at the end of 'The Horse Whisperer'? 

We analyze the athletes who clash on the gridiron and the heroes who cover them in the sports media.

​Papa Menaker is away moving this weekend, so three of his chocolate-smeared children are allowed to get their grubby little mitts all over the pod. Matt, Felix and Amber congratulate Apple for becoming the first trillion dollar company, Paul Manafort for his impeccable fashion sense, and Obama for turning 57 this week. To celebrate Obama's birthday we read from "Hope Never Dies: An Obama Biden Mystery" and try not to succumb to the deep depression it induces.

308 - There's Nothing Like a Dame feat. Nick Hayes (4/21/19)

We talk to The Intercept's Ryan Grim about his new book "We've Got People," discussing the Democrats' reliance on big money and how it might be broken by mass-movement based politics. Rahm Emanuel is a central figure in Ryan's book, so we read from Rahm's new column in The Atlantic, ironically called "It's Time To Hold American Elites Accountable for Their Abuses." Finally, we introduce a new character into Chapo canon, NJ representative Josh Gottheimer.

Few tickets left for our UK shows in Glasgow (6/3), London Early (6/5) and Manchester (6/7). Go to www.chapotraphouse.com/tour or https://www.gigsandtours.com/tour/chapo-trap-house for tickets.
