chapo

In the inaugural episode of the Chapo Trap House Podcast, Felix Biederman (@ByYourLogic), Matt Christman (@Cushbomb), and Will Menaker (@willmenaker) discuss logical fallacies and take a sideways glance at a wacky week in US politics that saw Bernie win Michigan, Hillary support the Contras and Reagan's AIDS policies, and Trump getting kicked out of Chicago. We also game out the possible post politics career of Marco Rubio and pledge our support to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. All this plus much, much more.

We close out with a reading from friend of the show Kurt Schlichter and some "letters home" from the front lines.

Topics include: why there was no 9/11 trigger warning in this movie, the incel/volcel analysis of superheroes, and the indisputably true fact that this movie was a Psy-Op propaganda film funded by Erdogan and Turkish deep state.

Finally, we pay tribute to our producer @Deep_Beige by *ironically* threatening pudgy, fedora wearing, Daily Beast TV Re-capper and son of Howard, Marlow Stern.

Or like 'The Thing' will it reform and spawn some new abomination? On the other side, why are Clinton supporters angrier  now then they've ever been?
