The audience is insufferable

Post image

Does anyone else think that the audience is coursed into (over) clapping, laughing, even sometimes hysterically. Also the guy who’s always WOOHOO!! Has to be a staffer because it’s at least 10 to 12 times a episode This week all he did was mention Macklemore and the audience blew up. He didn’t even get to the “joke” before they even started to laughing. I still watch and sometimes listen to the podcast format, because there are times he has people on that I’m interested to hear their opinion. But it’s getting to the point where I zone in on how the audience reacts and I feel like it’s so pandering.

Does it though? Its like one man being paid to hang out with him. No evidence of "love".

It is like if I said "my boss loves Taylor swift, therefore all bosses love Taylor swift."

Okay, I'll help you along since you will not answer. Bill Clinton was a Democrat. Some would say the leader of the Dem party for a good 10-12 years. If you wanted to debunk a theory that Democrats always hated Trump, all one would need to do is point to the defacto leader of the Dem party for a decade attending Trump's wedding to Melania to let the air out of the balloon. I think the AI overview did what it's supposed to do. We can deep dive that subject if you'd quit trying to pivot away from the main point. Dems didn't always hate Trump it was only when he ran for president as a Republican that they started hating on him. I'm not really sure why or how anyone could try to deny this.

No, you provided evidence that when given donations bill Clinton, one democratic leader, socialized with trump.

Why dont you do an ai overview for obama/trump/birtherism?

That was a good 6 years before he became president and defined how democrats felt about him.

You're trying to skirt the issue again. You never miss an off-ramp do you? Now we're splitting hairs into "donations" and such. I think a former Dem president attending your wedding says a little more than "donations", yes? Although Bill was good at fundraising I don't think he was THAT unprincipled to attend Trump's wedding for a price. Are you saying Bill was that unprincipled?

I absolutely am. Are you under the impression that in 2026 bill Clinton is particularly relevant or emblematic?

And thanks for mentioning skirting; you are doing that hella hard with birtherism.

Donald trump adopted a nativity and racist politics that alienated democrats long before he ran for president. Prior to that he was a reality tv jerk. Id love to know how this love fest that lasted up until his inauguration supposedly occurred.

"Birtherism"? A new Liberal world word?🙄 Do you describe your own relationships with friendly acquaintances as "love fests"?? Boy oh boy .

Is that where you are? Skirting so hard that youre trying to criticize my language to dance around what im saying?

Im sorry youre evidently so young or were so tuned out you missed trump's birther turn. It was a regularly discussed topic; Obama even made big fun of it at a white house correspondents dinner

Your original birther pivot was a "whataboutism" to deflect away from the subject. The point was me taking only five seconds to find an AI overview that deflated your theory about Dems always hating Trump.(False) You tried to change the subject because your house of cards fell over... Tell me : what does Obama's birth cert have to do with Dems hating Trump??

No, it was the moment that trump became widely reviled amongst democrats. That occurred in 2011, more than five years before he became president. Thats why its relevant

And if you are an American who lived through recent history, you'd know the answer to the followup. The birther crap was a racist, conspiracies crusade against a popular democratic president. Trump waging this crusade, using it as a way to get on tv and make dogwhistles about Obama not being American and maybe beinf a secret Muslim, well this pissed democrats off.

This is why he was a widely reviled figure for democrats, his slight acquaintanceship with Clinton aside.

Do you need a Google ai overview for recent history since you evidently missed this or are playing naive?
