1. Generally, Yes. He says things I don't necessarily like, but he also says some

“inconvenient truths,” that lots of people miss. I don’t tune into his show, read his books, etc. But, he’s not near as bad as some seem to think.

7. Van Jones: "Trump just became president in that moment" isn't inconvenient truth its thoughtless ...

... opportunism and he has too many of those moments of out of context "clarity".

Inconvenient truth is ," there can be no such thing as a couple of bad apples among police, that's like a couple of bad actors among airline pilots; 99% of them like to land their airplanes while the other 1% want to crash them into mountains is not acceptable" (Chris Rock).

2. He's an opportunist who curries too much favor. I'm surprised...

he's not a repug yet.

3. Tired of his crap

I am.

4. He is "very presidential" in the Trumpian sense of the word

Tries so hard to be a contrarian philosopher and says really stupid things.

Adores Trump's Presidential distinction and says we need to be more afraid of Clinton supporters than the KKK. Not clever, thought provoking or wise.

Fifteen minutes are up.

5. No. He goes LOW

It should be beneath him to play divisive politics

6. No option for hell fuck no?

How many times did he claim Trump was being presidential only to get it thrown back in his face?

The man is a moron.

8. Very astute

You folks have some very astute observations on Jones!

Likely, he's keeping his mainstream viability alive since he's a minor player on CNN and he wants to keep alive his TV career possibilities on the other two mainstream political tabloid networks, MSNBC and FOX.

He swings from being somewhat radical to a placater of the right. Like when he was praising republicans for the new crime bill and saying how great they were.

They were great because of the opioid addiction so rampant now in the white community. They didn't give a hoot when just black and brown people were affected by drugs.
