Chapo was funny today
Weird how Virgil was silent for like 30 minutes and then he drops in a hilarious joke.
That’s been his mo lately, he barely speaks. Agree there was a lull after the ratfucking but they’ve been v good lately
Regarding the Chapo podcast
Back in May, we wrote about a group of gun enthusiasts who love taking pictures of loaded weapons pointed at their dicks. On a long enough timeline, one of them was inevitably going to accidentally discharge their weapon, and on Tuesday, that appears to be exactly what happened to one member in the San Diego area.
A member of a Facebook group dedicated to taking pictures of loaded weapons pointed at dicks finally shot himself in the balls, according to bloody pictures and video he posted on social media and the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office, which confirmed the incident to Motherboard. Rather than step back and start questioning whether the practice is wise, the group made him an administrator and are now celebrating him as their king.

Latest Chapo was absolutely awful. Amber has to go, she is never insightful and won’t shut up.

Come to the Dark Side.
Occasionally she says something interesting/insightful/funny but her signal to noise ratio is way too low. She quite frequently kills a riff by interrupting another host who was in the process of being funny. That ep proved that Will is the most valuable Chapo by far. Not only is he quite funny and engaging to listen to, but the show descends into an unstructured mess without him.

Has anyone ITT listened to this podcast?
Was that the one where she was droning on about some woman nobody’s ever heard of being a “sincere” right-winger and how it’s cute that she is?
I’ve never listened to a Chapo episode and thought, “I wish Amber was on this episode.” Will and Matt really are the core because. Without Will, there is no order or structure. Without Matt, there is no real backbone to the show.
The Thursday one was ultra-cynical. I mean I’m cynical but shit did I feel bummed out afterwards. Felix went on a borderline insane rant towards the end of the episode.

Thanks to this thread for introducing 5-4 to me. It became my favorite podcast very quickly.

This is an important interview for better understanding 1975-80 and how some things have flipped 180°. LOL at Carter complaining about having to appoint more judges to expanded courts.
Yeah, one of the main surprising takeaways of the interview is that Carter sucked.
In a lot of ways it does seem to already be over. Like I don’t know how a society exists when half of everyone sees the 17 year old shooter as a hero and the other half a murderer. And that’s on top of like a quarter of Americans deciding they’d rather go through a multi year depression instead of wearing an uncomfortable mask. I just don’t know how we come back from this even if Biden wins.
The right has been trying to sell that they are popular for many years, but it’s mainly smoke and mirrors. Don’t confuse the diehard trump base with half the country. 25% is much closer (if still far too many), with maybe 10% as the core.

Yeah. Just 55.7% of the voting age population voted in 2016. Trump got 46.1% of that number.
The means 25.7% of Americans supported Trump enough to vote for him and he didn’t even win the popular vote. Now how many out of that number actually look at the shooter as a hero? My family and their deplorable friends haven’t come out to support the shooter and they’re basically carbon copies of people from The Villages.
This is a tyranny by minority and it’s disgusting that only slightly more than half of the American voting age population could drag their asses to the polls or mail in a ballot in 2016. That turnout has to be way higher to win this year. Now people might respond by pointing to approval ratings but a bunch of those people don’t vote. If they did, the popular vote would better reflect them.
Truth is that we’re continually exposed to the worst of the worst deplorables here. There are deplorables of varying degrees and while they ultimately all vote Trump, there are differences in opinion in certain areas. Supporting a murderer is a bridge too far for most.
