289 - Support the Tropes (2/14/19)
🕑 Added 2019-02-14 18:44:46 +0000 UTCIn a synthesis of our previous two episodes, we discuss this week's attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar, and her interrogation of Elliott Abrams. We also take a look at the career of "Diamond" Joe Biden, and lament the passing of one of the last true cranks.

Watching these old episodes where they're utterly sure that Biden doesn't even have a shadow of a chance and that the world has moved on and it just won't work anymore is really darkly hilarious. And I get a similar sense of foreboding now in the current day, with them being utterly sure that Harris won't be president due to her approval ratings, or Buttigieg because he's the first human on Earth to have survived to adulthood without experiencing a single emotion. To reference Arthur C. Clarke: If a leftist podcaster says something is possible, they're almost certainly right; but if they say that something is impossible, they're very probably wrong.
