I hope a particular guest will school the pundit on something. Generally speaking, whether I agree with a commentator or not on every issue, I'll take alternative options every time because they don't operate from the same pro-corporate assumptions/agendas, or pretentious adherence to objectivity, which really amounts to not doing their job or calling out bullshit.

. I've liked them both since way back. I think dealing with the lies and bullshit of republicans is such a full-time job that they don't have much bandwidth for other work, that I think our media should be taking on.
As to the rest, I don't know all of them. Is O'donnel still on? I never been a fan of Tweety, except that he's so innocuous that sometimes he gets people to say incredibly ridiculous shit, for instance Bachman back in the day, and morning joe has always sucked, and Andrea Mitchel has always sucked, and now they have one of the Fox News pundits on who has always sucked...so, they are at best a mixed bag.

His show comes after Rachel's on weekdays.

I agree with your assessment for the most part.

because dumps of this shit are all over the country in places that have changed hands several times.

It's another reason for non intervention.

How does any of this make sense? After he gave up the stockpiles to avoid us invading in 2013?

And Trump suddenly gives a fuck about kids dying? The guy who promised to, and has, killed the families of terrorists?

This is a different level of crazyville.

I have zero confidence in the claim that Assad did this (yes he is capable of it but the timing is insanely suspicious right as Tillerson goes to Russia and Trump was plummeting b/c of the Russia investigations) -- we are certainly capable of claiming a false flag attack AND/OR it is possible Russia was involved. Also, don't forget that Syria is dealing with a brutal civil war with the likes of ISIS. How stable and reliable do think the intelligence is when this event supposedly happened like two days ago?! And Trump just started caring about "beautiful babies" from Syria? This is ridiculous. Sorry.

That region is suck a complete clusterfuck that "solid evidence" can't be trusted.

When say I think he's the likely culprit, I say it with about a 75% certainty. That other 25% would be too high for me to go shooting missiles at him without NATO, Congressional, or UN approval.

Perhaps she doesn't express herself clearly. Or perhaps she's a kneejerk Assad supporter who's secretly lusting after Putin's body. Personally, I'll go with the former since I've seen enough of his body in his publicity photos to have serious doubts about the latter.

I used to like Gabbard, thought she was a good up-and-comer for the Democratic Party.

I no longer think that, not by a long shot.
