  1. Cenk being incredibly accommodating to "the right" while yelling at the slightest criticism from "the left" is exactly what Cenk used to complain about when it came to establishment democrats and people like Rahm Emanuel. He used to complain about "corporate media" only to turn around and sell his studio that was crowdfunded by TYT supporters to Polymarket.... That's what makes this pivot sting so badly. ☹

  2. Megyn also thinks it is "obvious" that Jesus and Santa Claus were "white" when they weren't. So she's probably not the best judge for what people are and are not.

  3. How dare those protesters violently put their faces on the cop's fists like that. They even used their faces to block the cop's pepper spray. smh...

  4. The constant wave after wave of Anti-Muslim (i.e. Mideastern looking), Anti-immigrant, Anti-trans, Anti-drag, BS nonsense that has propagated through right wing circles every year for the past 20 years is effing irritating to no end.

  5. Van Jones: "Whether we buy it or take it is not the issue" I'm pretty sure that's a pretty effing big distinction... 🤦🏼

  6. The way Fetterman constantly looks down when he's talking is very telling. There's no passion in his voice. He knows he's lying.

  7. I was worried too after Cori Bush I was going to lose my mind if Omar lost her primary. But with Omar in Congress and having Trump lose to another black woman would be enough to make 2024 the best year ever.

  8. Because the whole "birtherism" and "secret Muslim" thing worked so well against Obama for two terms....

  9. Raw milk has never been a right/left thing I don't know why we have to turn everything into a right/left issue. It was super popular in California for decades. Anything "raw" including sprouts and sushi is fine as long as it is treated properly and tested for pathogens.

  10.  @dimplezdimples8451  I watched TYT for almost 20 years dude.... Since 2005. I was also a member. I know exactly how they've changed their positions.

  11.  @dimplezdimples8451  I use past tense because I stopped watching the TYT main show and canceled my membership over a year and half ago. Chill. Complaining about "corporate media" while taking Polymarket money, just makes them hypocrites. TYT is corporate media and have entrenched themselves as the left's online media establishment.

  12. What if Tim Walz is riding somewhere with Kamala, gets car sick, throws up on her which causes her to launch nukes at Russia? THEN WHAT?!.... 🤷🏽 😂

  13. Being a mom or a dad isn't an ambition. It's literally just biology.

  14. It is possible to test milk for pathogens, just like all raw products. Just like when eating raw oysters or raw fish for sushi you have to take extra steps make sure the fish and the final product is fresh and free of pathogens. Of course there's a cost to that.... In the case of milk you have to make sure the cows and the milk they produce are also healthy and pathogen free. It's really not some crazy conspiracy if you just think it through. The government can also say "all fish and oysters must be cooked" for safety reasons. They could also say lettuce and sprouts must be cooked, raw fruits and vegetables have probably been the source of most e-coli and salmonella outbreaks in the country over the years. But no one is going to think you're crazy for eating raw sprouts or lettuce.

  15. The fact that Cenk thinks Trump won because of "trans people in sports" is wild... The fact is there isn't a movement on the left to demand trans people play in professional sports. Sports organizations allowed who they think should be allowed to play in sports and the right wing systematically complained about it for years and Cenk fell right into the trap of platforming it as an issue. Then he got mad when progressives said "why are you doing that?"

  16. The "slippery slope" into transphobia is clearly demonstrated over the past few years when suddenly it's become the top issue of "freak out" in conservative circles. However there is no such thing as a "slippery slope" of people who aren't trans suddenly deciding to get bottom surgery.

  17. "idk therefore it's aliens" = "idk therefore it's ghosts" = "idk therefore it's God".

  18. Never mind all the Green Party voters who are celebrating Harris losing and "liberals" crying about it. How did we get here where some people are super motivated by other people crying? Social media? WTF is wrong with us as a society?

  19. People have some weird hobbies. These people should pick up Yu-Gi-Oh or Magic the Gathering or something.

  20. I keep saying this over and over, but it's no different than what MLK said about the "white moderates" and the liberals who use the language of civility at the expense of people's rights. In his mind they were more dangerous than the KKK, because they normalize the bigotry. That's what Bill Maher is doing. He calls himself an ally, but under the guise of being "civil" or making a funny joke he'll downplay the bigoty and discrimination.

  21. Caitlyn Jenner Syndrome... She's so afraid of losing her "community" of right wingers that she's willing to dehumanize herself.

  22. The irony of Jess Watters comparing lying and voting for Kamala to "cheating" when he literally cheated on his last wife with a Fox News producer. The tactic he used to start dating her was to deflate the tires on her car and pretend to help her by giving her a ride.

  23. Biden goes from getting the US out of Afghanistan and ramping down drone strikes, to now being "Genocide Joe"... 🤦🏽

  24. Hateful authoritarians always find ways of aligning with each other... Think about all the Zionists who disagree with Trump on everything except supporting genocide, hating trans people, and/or oppressing women, but that was enough to motivate them to throw out all their other beliefs and principles.

  25. The open racism against Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar has been some of the most disgusting things I've witnessed in politics. Dana Bash is a hack journalist. I have no idea how she got that job.

  26. 50% chance of winning is silly. Maybe 25-30% at best and that's only assuming Biden has some health issues. Everyone is assuming that polling during a primary means something to a general election. As if Biden and the establishment Dems haven't created a strategy and are not going to campaign at all.

  27. It's been a sad thing to watch TYT go from complaining about centrists democrats who decide their positions based on polls and what the right wing is complaining about, and a weak media who create false equivalences or fake neutrality between right and left positions, to essentially basing their entire show around those two things.

  28. Just imagine if Soros did this after buying Twitter and building rockets.... The conspiracies would be going crazy right now.

  29. I loved this interview and Bassem's earlier segment, but I also was entirely frustrated by the constant daftness of Piers Morgan... I appreciate his willingness to have these guests, but his vapid commentary was insufferable.

  30. I like how Cenk says that Hasan is "far left" and "agrees with every trans issue", but simultaneously says that he agrees with him and that the Majority Report should criticize him for that.... Cenk sounds completely unhinged and deranged. I'm seriously starting to question his sanity...

  31. I've always said that undecided voters are just uninformed voters. The fact that news media can have these people on panels yet somehow is unable to educate them on the positions and issues is just incredibly sad.

  32. I've never seen any of these "free speech warrior" right wingers principled on free speech. They always just use it as a virtue signal to argue all the horrible ideas they support, meanwhile we have to tolerate literal Nazis marching down the street chanting "jews will not replace us" and Trump saying there are "good people" in those crowds..

  33. I stopped caring about undecided voters years ago. It used to mean something decades ago when people ran more on policy, now it's just a substitute for "ignorant voter". No one should take these people seriously. Either they're partisan plants pretending to be undecided or they're dumb people entirely clueless. Why would you ask people with a vague idea on politics for their vague ideas on why they would vote for anyone? They offer absolutely nothing meaningful to the election.

  34. I don't understand how making incest illegal is supposed to stop sexual predators. I mean shouldn't the sexual predation be illegal anyway?... Or do people just get free reign if they're praying on adopted/foster children? I care much less about cousins groping each other than I do someone being preyed upon no matter what their relationship is.

  35. Never mind the constant attacks and demonization of trans people or police murdering and imprisoning black/brown people unjustly, the real "struggle" is allowing Israel to kill more children in Gaza.... Why can't we understand that a Jewish person living in the US will feel oppressed if Israel can't oppress and kill Palestinians?

  36. You got a sub from me for this video. It precisely lays out the problem with TYT on this issue. I've been a TYT supporter since at least 2005 and a long time member, but this shit got under my skin. It was gross and ugly.

  37. But you don't understand.... Biden "said something" 😱

  38.  @karelglasner2673  The guy he was based on was Turkish.

  39.  @donnamurphy8551 I was referring to his ethnic background, not his nationality and there are depictions of him clearly having brown skin. So I'm not exactly sure what kind of point you're trying to make other than weirdly looking for some kind of "white loophole" for some reason. (who does that?) Either way saying it's "obvious that Santa Claus is white" is a dumb statement.

  40.  @donnamurphy8551  Totally weird question when you yourself wouldn't associate "whiteness" with any of the ethnicities there and that was the basis for the comment you were responding to 🤷🏽‍♂

  41.  @donnamurphy8551 Why would you ask if Santa was black to begin with? 🤨Anyways, I'm not a mind reader either so all I did was clarify my original comment since it seemed like you needed clarification.

  42. Conservatives like Joe care about "life" when it's an abstract concept involving woman's rights, but when it comes to child poverty, healthcare, death penalty, and bombing tens of thousands of people in the middle-east they really don't give a shit.

  43. Biden is doing exactly what Trump would do. Plowing forward, punishing dissent, and pretending he's the best regardless of cognitive decline or in the case of Trump, criminal convictions.

  44. Mister "I live like a capitalist every day" Charlie Kirk is talking about how horrible it is for someone to pursue money and fame while he collects checks from wealthy doners in order to pursue fame.

  45. Like most Republicans, she's only admitting to the misogyny that personally effects her.
