You’re entirely too charitable to that guy Darryl, which really is a credit to you. I highly doubt Carlin would ever return the favor.

The fact is that Dan, like yourself, is a master storyteller but he’s also a disingenuous hypocrite of the first order. He spent years shilling for a populist outsider to bully his way to the White House but what’s he do when it happens? Gets TDS so bad that he shuts down his “outsider” political podcast except to endorse Joe fucking Biden 🤣.

He shills every single regime talking point but pretends “all those politicians are corrupt”. Well except for his own Senator Ron Wyden who is an exemplar of wisdom and virtue 🙄.

I remember in one of his podcasts he acted like cops should just wait to be murdered before using force against suspects (minorities implied) because it was “part of the job”.

He sees the exact same things you and I see happening to the country but he doesn’t care because he agrees with it. He shits on half the country, which I would wager makes up the majority of his audience, then after spitting in their faces he has the gall to tweet out:

“If I told you that the most pro-American, patriotic thing you could do for the USA was to find common ground with your countrymen over politics could you do it? How patriotic do you consider yourself to be? How deep does your love of country go?”

This tweet naturally was aimed directly at MAGAtards and not the people who spent the better part of the year burning cities and tearing down statues. Yeah, no thanks.

So when he called you a fascist all those years ago for the crime of demanding a little bit of order in the society you both share, it was simply a foreshadowing of the type of character we were going to see come to the surface later.

Any fair minded person that checks for your stuff will come away with the impression of your public persona that you’re a solid dude, even if they disagree with you. Carlin is incapable of that because of his character and personality flaws (delusional libtard for shorthand). I’d go so far as to suggest that if given the opportunity he’d jail you personally for your political beliefs. Some nice liberal.

So as far as I’m concerned MMDC > HHDC and it’s not even close.

I am laughing to myself imagining poor Daniele having to endure a half hour kvetching session about you over the phone though. 🤣

Lmfao the unspoken hero in this story is Daniele. Not trying to stir up more Dan shit but it is wild going from years of preaching to screeching about a outsider taking power.

To be fair in 2016 Dan Carlin had a few common sense episodes when he actually saw the coup de etat and US provocations in Ukraine for what they were

Perhaps it just reflects where I was politically at the time, but I thought Common Sense before 2016 was excellent.

It's really about what the populist outsider stands for. It isn't hypocritical to support a principled man over a narcissist. Populust outsider isn't an ideology.

Trump might be a narcissist, but Biden is far from principled.

Far more principled than Trump.

And right now that's what matters.

Trump is the lowest integrity man in America.

Any actual examples, other than hyperbole? Your comment reads like CNN madlibs. I'll give you an example of Biden's principles: 14 minutes of him sniffing little girl's hair and whispering to them on the Senate floor. And before you howl Russian propaganda, that was from C-SPAN.

At this point no honest person doesn't know what kind of scum Trump is.

If a person still supports Trump at this point then that low moral character is their type of guy.

I'm not going to argue with anyone dishonest enough to deny it at this point.

Because you really don't have an argument. Resorting to impugning the character of the person you're debating means you lost.

The arguments have been made they are very public.

You're lying about not knowing them.

This weird fetish people have for such an inferior person as Trump is very creepy.

But in the end, you know what POS he is, you don't need an argument, you're lying, you know you're lying, I know you're lying and you know I know you're lying.

If he's such a POS, then it shouldn't be so hard to name one example, right? Here's an example of Biden's principles: He co-authored the Crackhouse bill, which said the cops can repossess a house where drugs are found, including pot. Whether the homeowner knew the drugs were there or not. At the same time his son was smoking crack. I don't think Trump is the antidote to all the many problems this country has, but thinking Biden is, that's delusional. He's had four years and things have only gotten worse. Vaccine mandates that caused hundreds of thousands of medical and military professionals to lose their careers for standing up for their own bodily autonomy. The embarrassing Afghanistan withdrawal, worst military defeat we've suffered since 1812. Immigration and inflation that will result in a lower standard of living for decades, and he has done nothing to fix any of it.

I don't see a point in arguing about it. We've been arguing for nearly a decade. The world has known he is scum for 4 decades.

If you want to worship a terrible person like a living God, beyond all reason, then, you're supportive of all his crimes, that's who you are. He represents you.

Your position isn't rational. So there is no point. I mean why do you want validation from me so badly?
