About this episode
Oh dear. Watching the New Hampshire returns, the lads do a spot-on impression of the good old, liquor-soaked days of 2016 Fifth Column and get pretty deep in their cups…so yeah, sorry about this one.
* Trump wins
* Cutting from Trump’s dumb speech
* 20 percent for Dean Phillips
* This is, in fact, democracy
* No one says anything on cable news
* The speeches
* The overstatement machine
* Moralism doesn’t work
* A brave defense of Iran-backed Islamism
* A sort of drunken rant about hipster Houthis
* The New York Times on haaaazaaaaaa
* It all falls apart…something about Tipper Gore, Jello Biafra, and covering every election but the U.S. one
