Matt Taibbi says that America should've taken Iraq's oil when they invaded. "And as for the Iraq oil thing, I was all in favor, like if we were there, yeah, let's take it... I guess the idea of turning it over to the Iraqi people, but I don't know, I felt a little more mercenary about that."

Matt Taibbi says that America should've taken Iraq's oil when they invaded. "And as for the Iraq oil thing, I was all in favor, like if we were there, yeah, let's take it... I guess the idea of turning it over to the Iraqi people, but I don't know, I felt a little more mercenary about that."

Matt Taibbi believes America is in an "undeclared civil war" because "the federal government in many places is not respecting state authority, state authorities are refusing to respect federal authority, they're making dueling announcements". Seems like a mild civil war.

Matt Taibbi is very peeved about Zohran Mamdani talking about "collectivism". Taibbi: "Trotsky's been dead for how long, and we've gotta exhume him to have him write these speeches again?"

Walter Kirn says that the song "Fortunate Son" is not an anti-war anthem, but is actually a class anthem, and is in fact a pro-military anthem for today's military because the troops aren't "fortunate sons" and they do cool things. Matt Taibbi agrees.

Oh my god. This is real. Matt Taibbi, in the Bari Weiss-run The Free Press, saying "To Protect Free Speech, I’m Suing the Man Who Defamed Me" www.thefp.com/p/matt-taibb...

Matt Taibbi conveniently hasn't posted anything about Trump invading Venezuela, but his podcast co-host Walter Kirn has, and he supports it, calling Venezuela (and Greenland) the "new Reich".

You had one job Tyler Loop

Poorly-aged interview from March 2024: George Galloway calls Trump "the leader of the anti-war movement". Jimmy Dore agrees, and says that's a big reason why "they wanted to get rid of Donald Trump".

John Mearsheimer, Oct. 3 2024: "I think that Biden's basic instincts are those of a warmonger, and I think that's not true of Trump. I think Trump is not that interested in fighting wars."

Matt Taibbi has been melting down over Zohran Mamdani saying "collectivism" and now he's comparing Mamdani to Stalin.

Cenk Uygur thinks a "Green-Red alliance" could be possible with Jill Stein and her former V.P. and Green Party California gubernatorial candidate Butch Ware.

Matt Taibbi, Mr. Free Speech, says "I’m obligated to sue" writers like Eoin Higgins who criticize him. He's a giant hypocrite and the world's biggest baby.

Checking up on this. How did this one turn out?

When Matt Taibbi accepted the award, he said he was grateful to Dave Rubin and pointed out Aaron Maté from The Grayzone in the audience and thanked him for his support.

I love to point out what a massive piece of shit Norman Finkelstein is. Here, in this Apr. 2023 clip, he's defending Matt Taibbi after Mehdi Hasan tore him up in an interview about the Twitter Files, and Finkelstein is really pissed off at Hasan.

Some ~personal news~

LOL Matt Taibbi hasn't once mentioned Bari Weiss turning CBS into Trump TV and killing the 60 Minutes story

Ana Kasparian praises Tucker Carlson. She praises his frequent guest, Douglas Macgregor, who is a far-right Russian propagandist. Calls Tucker influential with the anti-war left, and says he "brings up some thought-provoking points on a lot of issues that I care about."

This aged well

Michael Tracey and Matt Taibbi teaming up to defend Jeffrey Epstein

Aaron Maté says that Trump's statement gloating about Rob Reiner's murder is "sick". ...But then Maté says that Reiner "did have Trump Derangement Syndrome, I think, I actually think that Trump was right about that" and adds that Reiner "succumbed to the Russiagate mania".

Jimmy Dore claims that the Australian mass shooting at Bondi Beach was a "false flag" by Mossad, and his proof is "If a Muslim wants to go shoot Jewish people, why would they go to Australia to do it?" And then he reads a Candace Owens tweet claiming she predicted this.

Jimmy Dore's latest pile of crazy: "The entire book tour is all a carefully-planned psyop to emotionally blackmail us to stop asking questions about Charlie [Kirk]'s death. About the Egyptian planes, about the alleged fraud, going on at TPUSA, and Israel's role in all of it."

Michael Tracey has spent the last two days getting mad at Rob Reiner for criticizing Russia, and getting mad at people for remembering their favorite Rob Reiner movies. He's so pathetic.

All this does is make Rob Reiner look even better.

Just such an asshole move to see a beloved Hollywood icon murdered, and your first thought is "How can I use this to defend Russia?"

Yes, this is what the actor in one of the most popular shows of all time, and director of some of the most popular movies of all time, will be most remembered for.

To be fair, Maxine Waters’ brutal assault may have left him with brain damage.

"Antisemitism simply is not a significant threat in our society. It used to be, but it isn't anymore, because our society has changed." - @caitoz.bsky.social, Dec 3, 2024 from Melbourne, Australia

strong contender for most pathetic "why I left the left" moment here

That clip reminds me of this old Tim Pool clip from Nov. 2023 where he says you can't give the unhoused houses because they'll just destroy them by leaving the bathtub running.

Some people are very determined to bring back the R-slur.

Ana Kasparian took to Twitter to complain about the term "birthing person" after seeing Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez use the term, and Ana interpreting it as being a new replacement term for herself and women in general.

Bill Maher says it's a bad idea to house the unhoused in renovated hotels and motels, because he personally acts poorly in hotels. Bill: "I know how I acted on the road in hotels all my life, it's just a bad idea. Hotels do not foster good behavior, they just don't."

It's rare for someone in a picture to look worse than Steve Bannon, but congratulations Noam Chomsky!

Bill Maher and Ana Kasparian revere how in the 1960s, you were apparently allowed to hit another person's child. They want to go back to that time.

He looks like a senile Texas oil billionaire

Bill Maher complains about how much in taxes he has to pay, thinks he's proof that rich people pay taxes, and he wonders why he pays "more than half" and poor people still exist. Ana Kasparian agrees. "Yes, talk about those fucking taxes right now!"

Anyone this stupid… probably shouldn’t have kids

Bill Maher: "One of my big complaints about the left has been 'The One True Opinion'. There is the one true opinion. And when you deviate from that, it's so ironic, the people who absolutely hate bullies so much are the biggest fucking bullies in the world."

Ana Kasparian claims the left turned on her over her opposition to being called a "birthing person". Ana Kasparian: "I don't have kids, I don't want to have kids, and I don't want to be called a 'birthing person', I find it super insulting."

Ana Kasparian voices her criticism of American foreign policy that has destabilized Middle Eastern countries. Bill Maher accuses her of "blaming it on whitey". "You're not really blaming it on whitey, are you? You're blaming Islam on whitey?"

Bill Maher says Trump has "fixed" some things. Maher says Trump "did better in the Middle East than anybody had done, got NATO to pay for shit, colleges out of control..."

Bill Maher compares Ana Kasparian (as a compliment) to J.K. Rowling and praises Rowling for criticizing Emma Watson's "super-woke" views.

Ana Kasparian: "If we start talking about Gaza, I think you're gonna disagree with me probably, that's probably where we have the most disagreement." Bill Maher: "Maybe later, maybe later, because I will definitely carve you into little pieces on that one."

Max Blumenthal joins the surprisingly long list of post-leftists praising Matt Gaetz.

With Bill Maher and Ana Kasparian, it always comes back to complaining about trans people. Bill Maher steered a conversation about criminal justice reform into transphobic territory. Ana: "Is it bad that I don't want to see a dick in the women's locker room?"

Ana Kasparian claims that criminal justice reforms have been "disastrous" and "literally getting people killed". Bill Maher agrees.
