The Clinton Foundation may go away, but Bill, Hillary, and Obama are not. Chelsea is in the pipeline to power (House of Representatives first), and is the true last hope for the Clintonian Regime to stay in any semblance of power.
2016 has been the most interesting year of my life.
What does it say that voters who fell for hope & change keep falling for it regardless of who’s peddling it?
Maybe we’ll get extraordinarily lucky one of these days and get change for the better.
A stopped clock is right twice a day…but only for a second.
Stephen Miller is filling 90% of this podcast. And the previous ones. It is mainly logorrhea.
@stephenmiller – You are a smart and funny young fellow. You owe it to yourself to slow down, take a breath and think before talking. Listen to Charles W Cooke for inspiration. Maybe also limit the caffinene intake. (Don’t try to go demitasse for demitasse with Gabriel) Reagan didn’t inspire “greed and piles of cocaine.”
12 Nov is the best conservatarians ever
Well, way to highlight your youth (and my age): you learned about Leonard Cohen by listening to Jeff Buckley; I learned about him by listening to Judy Collins. [And, BTW, I listened to Tim Buckley when he first came on the scene – and I don’t think I’ve ever knowingly listened to Jeff Buckley.] Guess it’s amazing I’m listening to you guys (or, to make Gabriel feel more at home, youse guys).
@stephenmiller– Lemmy died in late 2015.
So I’m an idiot – I know “Everybody Knows” only from Concrete Blonde, a hideously under-appreciated band.
I learned something today. Which makes me nauseous.
@exjon and @redsteeze As I begin listening to this podcast immediately after listening to the previous one, I wonder if a few pre-election statements will be addressed.
Well, in the time it took me to hunt-and-peck the above, Stephen has been pontificating about why the voters voted the way they did – as if he has a clue.
Why don’t you do a little penance? Start by reading Ann Coulter’s March 30, 2016 column and Steve Sailer’s November 28, 2000 and his November 12, 2012 columns. The answers to the “why” of this election are all there for you to see. The consultants like Mike Murphy and Rick Wilson didn’t know what they were doing.
Thanks for being gracious to the energized Trump supporters. To you we may be unprincipled, but we had no trouble voting for Trump and (in my case) Pat Toomey.
No self awareness evidently. They just live in the moment.
No, they just live in their own bubble.
I was coming here to say “epic rant Stephen”.
