Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy!
Sal Pacino.
Hell, hey, Mr. Pacino.
How are you?
Not doing half bad.
Hey.
Look, I want to talk to you about something.
You want to want me to explain politics to you again?
No, not politics.
Dune.
What?
Dune.
The movie, Dune?
Yeah.
I just saw this trailer that came out on the internet.
What is this fucking thing?
Well, it's a remake of a movie based on a popular science fiction novel.
Oh, yeah?
Why is it called a dune?
Well, that's the nickname of the planet it takes place on.
The entire planet is one giant desert.
There's no food or water.
Well, how the how do the people live then?
That's no kind of life.
Well, they have these special suits they wear that converts their urine and sweat into drinkable water.
Ah, fuck.
You're gonna make me vomit over here.
What do they eat?
The spice.
They just eat spices.
You can't live off that.
There's no nutrients in there.
A bunch of psychos in the desert drinking fish and eating oregano.
Sounds like a great movie.
No, it's a special kind of spice.
When a certain kind of creature ingests it, it can bend space and time with its mind.
And that's how space travel is possible.
Uh-huh.
Jimmy, are you sure you ain't hitting anything any harder than weed?
No, no, no, Al.
That's all I got.
That's the plot.
Okay.
I saw Aquaman.
Is it it?
Who does he play?
No, Jason Bomoa plays a character named Duncan Idaho.
4,000 years in the future.
And they got guys named Duncan Idaho walking around.
I'm not buying it.
It's fiction, Al.
Okay, you said it was a remake.
Yeah, there was a 1984 version known for director David Lynch's odd take on the novel and its stirring score.
Who did the score?
Toto.
Toto!
Well, with additional material provided by Brian Eno.
Toto and Eno.
Whoa!
Somebody better tell Duncan Idaho!
Okay.
What was that giant fucking thing at the end?
That was a sandworm.
Whoa!
How the worms get that big with no food?
They eat the spice, too.
Begin with this fucking spice.
There's an entire spice rack dedicated to plugging up plot holes in this fucking thing.
Okay, the girl at the end who said fear is the mind killer.
Who is that?
That's a man, the actor, Timothy Calumet, who plays Paul or Usul.
Paul or Usul.
Got it.
I know a lot of Paulis.
Yeah, some of them go by Usal, too.
Get the fuck out of here.
Anyway, this wafish young man should probably start seeing fear as his friend.
I have a feeling fear will keep him alive.
Actually, he's the central character.
He's a young nobleman who ends up fulfilling a prophecy and becomes sort of a messiah to the native people of Dune.
Space Jesus.
Okay, got it.
All right, Jimmy, listen.
You know what?
When I call you, I expect you to level with me, not yank my chain and make a bunch of bullshit up.
I don't appreciate it.
I swear I'm not making any of this up.
Dawn!
Establishment, media, sex, all glass lighting, so good luck.
Bullshit we can't afford, we're fomenting this, oh, oh, oh.
Watch and see as a jackdog comedian who speeds and jumps comedium and hits him head on.
It's the Jimmy Door show.
Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
Let's get to the jokes before we get to the joke, shall we?
Hey, firefighters say a huge fire in Southern California was started by fireworks set off at someone's gender-revealed party.
And to think they could have just put out that fire with some gender fluid, if you know what I'm talking about.
You know, the choice this November is clear.
You get to vote for a draft dodger who calls soldiers suckers and losers, or you get to vote for a draft dodger who sent them to die in multiple illegal wars for oil.
Quite a choice, huh?
On Saturday, hundreds of Trump supporters set sail on America's Lakes to show support for their candidate.
I always knew my disgust for boat owners would come in handy one day.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
What is Biden is revealed to have a public agenda and a Wall Street agenda.
Plus, why are warmongers against Trump anyway?
And the man who poisoned Flint, Michigan is endorsing, you guessed it, Joe Biden.
And Joe Biden's campaign is promoting it.
Plus, we got phone calls from Joe Biden, Chris Christie, and Al Pacino, and Bernie Sanders, plus a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Door Show.
Hey, today's Bernie Sanders' birthday, so I thought I'd call him up and wish him well.
Yeah, what?
And keep it quick and to the point.
Today's my birthday, and I do not have time for anybody's bullshit.
It's your birthday, Bernie.
Happy birthday.
I got a question for you.
Sure.
Why don't you go blowing out your ass?
By the way, I ask you that with all due respect.
Hey, hey, hey, don't be that way, Bernie.
We still appreciate all the things you did right up until the point you dropped out.
Oh, and never attacking your opponent thing, too.
And, you know, you know what I'm trying to say.
This is about my birthday, okay?
Let's try to put our petty differences aside for a moment so you can take solace in the fact that I'm still around to remind you of what we could have had if Joe Biden weren't such a genuinely charming human being.
What do you mean?
You know, like when he shows us humanity and confides to about his losses.
Like that drunken guy who killed Joe's wife in a car accident.
You almost forget that he's totally lying about everything.
That kind of thing.
Oh, like supporting any of your recommendations he adopted for his platform?
Look, Joe and I have our differences, but that doesn't mean he can't totally disrespect me at every opportunity.
So what are you doing for your birthday today, Bernie?
If you must know, Jane put the bouncy house at the backyard, and we're all ripped for the goal.
Our dolls come over and are really going to fuck up the joint.
You're not so still distancing with separate bouncy houses?
Don't worry.
We'll stick him in the laundry room.
He will know the difference.
And the sound of the dryer calms him down.
Of course.
What about Joe?
Is he coming over?
Joe.
Joe Biden.
I never see Joe anymore.
I don't get it.
It's almost like me pledging my support caused him to take me for granted.
Could that be possible?
I think it could be.
Well, look at the plus side.
After years of mocking and ignoring my words, the resistance is finally telling people to pay attention.
That's because you're telling people to vote for Biden.
You mean they don't want to allow banking at the post office?
Nope.
Biden's campaign told bankers in multiple calls that they weren't serious about it.
Or have the Fed guarantee all Americans a bank account?
Nope.
Son of a bitch.
I knew that would upset you.
Christ Bob Dole stripped naked and spilled a slurpee at the bouncy house again.
Now he's got multicolored nerf balls stuck all over his body.
Backhand everywhere.
I'll never get my goddamn deposit back.
Joe Biden got a great endorsement.
I don't know if you see who this is.
So they put out a Biden and Kamal Harris put out a press release.
It says for immediate release, September 3rd, 2020, or as they say in my neighborhood, September 3rd.
In case you missed it, that's what I see YMI.
I'm pretty sure that's what that stands for.
In case you missed it, right?
It says, in USA Today, op-ed former Michigan Republican governor Rick Snyder declares he's voting for Biden.
They're sending this out.
They're touting.
They're all about to be able to do it.
They are touting Governor Rick Schneider's endorsement from Michigan.
Do you remember who that is?
Do you remember who Rick Schneider is?
Do you remember who Rick Schneider is?
He's the guy who poisoned everybody in Flint, Michigan.
He should be in prison.
He should be in prison.
He's a criminal.
He poisoned children.
Poisoned them on purpose for money.
Michigan ex-Governor Rick Snyder knew about Flint's toxic water and lied about it.
That's got to get his endorsement.
Got to get that guy's endorsement.
Six years after the city of Flint, Michigan began using toxic water that sickened its residents.
Vice uncovered payoffs, the silencing of a whistleblower, a shady financial deal, a cover-up, and the former governor who presided over it all.
That's the guy they're touting.
Flint's children suffer in class after years of drinking the lead-poisoned water.
The city school stretch, even before the lead crisis, are struggling with demands for individualized education programs and behavioral interventions for children with high lead exposure.
I've lived near or in Flint most of my life.
Pay attention.
Flint third graders' reading proficiency drops nearly three quarters in one year.
Lead poisoning equals learning disabilities.
It's happening.
A generation is screwed.
Rick Snyder and his money-hungry goons have been ignoring the lives, well-being, and safety of our state citizens that he allegedly swore to serve.
It's disgusting.
We need to show the world that this kind of leadership only endangers lives, never enriches it.
There are calls not only for a demand for clean water, but and for the governor to be investigated.
But some are calling for him to be arrested.
What do you feel?
Naira.
Well, I feel like I feel like he should be arrested.
He should be impeached.
Whatever comes where we can get some sort of justice because we haven't had justice.
Snyder's apology happened three months after we went back to Detroit.
And we don't know when he actually knew that there was an issue with Flint's water.
So he can take his apology and flush it down a toilet.
Well, we know Rick Snyder knew about the Flint water crisis earlier than he testified under oath.
So he lied about it under oath, too.
So he is directly responsible for the death and poisoning of not only citizens of Michigan, but children in the developmental stages of their brains.
And he did it knowingly.
So he's a monster.
Worth over $200 million.
I don't care if he's got a suit on with a nice button-down collar.
He's a monster.
And right now, he's way worse than Trump.
Has Trump poisoned an entire city yet on purpose and then lied about it under oath?
And that's the guy Joe Biden is touting as his endorsement.
Wow, this is a huge endorsement from Michigan's governor, Rick Snyder.
Say what you will about the man who admittedly forced an entire city's inhabitants to bathe in lead for years, but it's important to note that he never once insulted liberal sensibilities on a podcast.
You see how low the Democrats have sunk?
Do you see how low?
And by the way, why would Governor Rick Snyder feel a need to endorse a Democrat?
Was it because the Democrat Barack Obama came to Flint and ran interference for him?
Was that the reason why?
Before a crowd of a thousand.
I really did need a glass of water.
This is not a stunt.
President Obama took a sip of Flint's filtered top water, assuring the people there that he cares.
I've got your bet.
No, he doesn't.
He didn't have their back.
He didn't clean that water.
Those kids were poisoned and he didn't give them health care, which he could have done with the stroke of a pen.
He could have given them all Medicare for all.
He didn't prosecute the people who did it.
In fact, he came and did this.
He lied to the people.
If you watch Michael Moore's film 11-9, they put their hands over their mouths because they saw Barack Obama betraying them at that moment.
And then he went and betrayed them one more time.
There you go.
You know, generally, I have not been doing stunts here, but, you know.
But here's a stunt.
Wow, what a big gulp.
Did you see that big gulp of water he just took?
Whoa.
Generally, I've not been doing it, but here's a stunt.
And now Joe Biden goes to Flint and barely mentioned the water crisis.
Community leaders are furious.
I wonder why.
Maybe because they're complicit.
This thing about nobody's above the law.
Remember, Barack Obama said nobody's above the law, including the president?
Well, yes, everybody's above the law who's an oligarch.
He's above the law.
Governor Rick Snyder's above the law.
Joe Biden is above the law.
Donald Trump is above the law.
George Bush and Dick Cheney are above the law.
Bill Clinton is above the law.
Everybody's above the law.
It's almost like being on a stranded island and you hear the helicopter and you get excited.
This is people talking about when Joe Biden's coming to Flint, Michigan.
You hear the helicopter and you get excited.
Oh, good.
Somebody's going to be able to elevate you, lift us up.
And then when they don't, you sink down into this despair, this mental anguish, this distress.
The Flint water crisis is not over.
No one took accountability for it.
It was not a natural disaster.
It was a man-made disaster, which makes it different from any other water crisis.
Joe Biden is touting the endorsement of the guy who poisoned a city on purpose.
Is there, could you go lower?
Could you go lower?
Really?
So he's showing everybody what an environmentalist he is.
Right?
Oh, well, here he is as an environmentalist.
You ready?
No kidding.
Here's Joe Biden as an environmentalist.
You ready?
Because Joe Biden believes in science.
Democrats believe in science, right?
I am not banning fracking.
Let me say that again.
I am not banning fracking, no matter how many times Donald Trump lies about me.
And now there are a lot of people like fracking activist Josh Fox who will wag your finger at you until you have to vote for the guy who was completely 100% committed against him.
And that's because guys like that are fucking climbers and aren't real.
That's who Joe Biden is.
And anybody who says they're a fracking activist who gives a shit about that and is going to fucking tell you to vote for that fucking guy is either a cuck or a grifter.
Who's he appealing to when he has to say something that adamant about fracking?
Who does he think?
Does he think my neighbor is worried about fracking?
You know what my neighbor is worried about, Jimmy?
Healthcare.
That's right.
Joe Biden ain't going to give you that either.
He ain't going to stop health.
He ain't going to stop fracking.
He ain't going to give you health care.
He ain't going to stop the wars.
He's not going to re-regulate Wall Street.
He ain't going to fucking do anything for you.
Except make, pave the way for a worse Trump in four years.
I am not banning fracking.
Let me say that again.
I am not banning fracking no matter how many times Donald Trump lies about me.
Biden on what's at stake in this election.
Will we rid ourselves of this toxin or will we make it a permanent part of our nation's character?
Which toxin is that, Joe?
It's not the fracking toxin, right?
Because you're all on board for the fracking toxin.
You just want to get rid of the symptom of the fracking toxin, which is Donald Trump.
When people feel government has let them down and they have nowhere to turn, they run to the arms of a conman game show host.
You are not the solution.
You created Donald Trump.
It was Joe Biden's policies that create Donald Trump.
He is not the solution.
And any cuck who tells you to fucking you got to vote for Joe Biden because he's the solution to the problem he created.
It's important to have integrity.
It's important, as Chris Hedges says, not to betray yourself.
And anybody who considers themselves gives a shit about the environment or fracking and tells you to vote for that motherfucker is a cuck or a grifter.
Fracking in Pennsylvania, not worth it.
I am not banning fracking.
Let me say that again.
I am not banning fracking.
No matter how many times Donald Trump lies about me.
That's in Pennsylvania.
He's making that speech in Pennsylvania.
Guess what?
Popular science says fracking in Pennsylvania, not worth it.
So that's Joe Biden screwing you and poisoning your water for money, for corruption.
Is he worse than Donald Trump or is he better than Donald Trump?
Is he worse than Rick Snyder or is he better than Rick Snyder?
Is Joe Biden a fucking monster?
Yes.
And if anybody's pledging their vote to this fucking monster two months before an election, you are either a grifter or a cuck.
Two months before the election, you're going to pledge your vote to this guy and you claim to give a shit about the environment?
You're a fucking grifting liar.
You're a fucking grifting liar.
This is the guy.
You care about fracking.
You care about the environment.
And this is the guy two months ahead of the election, instead of fucking protesting against him, instead of making him actually go, you know, he's going to lose this election again because fucking assholes like you guys who claim to be environmentalists and give a shit actually don't.
You care more about your place inside the Democratic Party and getting money from fucking corporations and Netflix than you fucking do about the environment.
And that's clear.
That's clear.
If you don't pressure Joe Biden before the election, you're a fucking grifter and you say you care about the election.
You're a fucking grifter.
Plain and simple, and that's manifest.
Popular science, fracking Pennsylvania.
Not fucking worth it.
Joe Biden, I listen to science.
Science says ban fracking.
Joe Biden, come on, man.
Bruce Levine wrote this.
He said, there are few opportunities in life for a perfect choice.
And so we make many compromises.
But compromises are very different than violations of integrity.
Compromises are part of life.
Violations of integrity are slow death.
So you can violate your fucking integrity all you want.
I won't do it.
And when a worse Trump shows up in four years, I'll be there to fight him.
And you will be prescribing more fucking gasoline to put out the fire.
The government is broken.
We live in a failed state.
They won't even give their own people health care in the middle of a pandemic.
As Chris Hedges says, the levers of power have seized up.
They cannot even give people health care in the middle of a fucking pandemic, nor will they promise to.
This is not a compromise.
This is called a violation of integrity.
And soon enough, the rest of the fucking left will come around to understand.
No problem sticking my chin out once again.
Just like with Russiagate, just like with Venezuela, just like with fucking Syria, just like with the Mueller report.
Thank you.
No problem.
We'll do it again.
Let you know, violating your fucking sense of integrity does not get you a better country.
Telling people to vote for Joe Biden two months ahead of an election when he vows to piss in your face is a violation of integrity.
It shows you're either a willing pansy or you're a grifter.
Here's more from Bruce Levine.
In our fear, we choose over and over and over again someone who is abhorrent.
We are choosing fear more than whoever we think we are choosing.
Fear makes us weak, and so we are choosing weakness much more than anything else.
History informs us that it is popular movements that move politicians.
And Chomsky is clear that building those movements is what we need to focus on all the time rather than merely focusing on elections.
Our core, of course, he is right.
However, it takes energy and strength to participate in building a popular movement.
And when we become so broken by making fear-based decisions, we are too weakened to build well-organized, sustained, powerful popular movements.
That's what the left feels like.
They're so broken.
We can't ever do it.
We can never have a fucking representative government.
We could never have a party that it can never happen.
That's what this does to us.
And that's what it's done.
Look at the news outlets that didn't cover the People's Convention.
They're suffering from that.
We could never do it.
You could never have an actual political party that actually represents people, Jimmy.
What did you grow up?
You can't actually grow up, you petulant child.
Violate your own integrity and keep pouring gas on the problem.
That's what grownups do.
Thank you.
Thank you.
When we've become so broken by making fear-based decisions, we are too weakened to build well-organized, sustained, powerful, popular movements.
That's what that's look at those fucking people.
While the greater of two evils is a risk, so too is a lifetime of fear-based decision-making.
If we repeatedly deceive ourselves that we are compromising when we are in fact obliterating our integrity, there are consequences.
We can become so broken that we are incapable of creating popular movements.
We can become so broken that when those brown shirts start marching, we will lack the strength to kick the shit out of them.
Hey, Chris Christie's calling me on the phone here.
Hello.
Hey, dirtbag.
Happy Labor Day, dirtbag.
You've been wearing your dirtbag, Labor Day, ass hat, and drapes it around town like a ballerina or something.
Is that what you've been doing?
I really haven't been going out much because of the virus thing, Chris.
Oh, so you're one of those delicate little butterflies.
I get it.
Look at me.
I'm a fragile, gossiper-winged paisley call it wimpy-wimp fluttering to and fro from flower to flower.
That's you.
What are you getting at?
Herd immunity.
You don't understand science too much, do you?
Well, what does herd immunity mean to you?
It means go to Walmart, go down air like it's one of them one-gallon jugs of liquify, Dostido's not so cheese tip.
By the time you get past Dunkin' Donuts, you'll be immune to everything from Ebola to Peroni's disease.
A friend told me that.
Hey, how well do you think your party's going to do this election, Chris?
That's a good question.
It depends on attracting these non-voted deadbeats.
And the only way they can attract these fucking deadbeats, non-voters is the GOP's got people optimalistic about shit.
You follow me?
Not really.
I really don't follow you.
Let me give you some examples.
For instance, when some dirtbag says you got to wear a mask and you don't want to wear a mask, what do you do?
Wear a mask?
Wrong!
You post a picture on Facebook of you and your family doing wrestling and stuff.
What's that going to do?
It'll show them what's what.
That's what.
You know, like those ancient Romans did with all the twisting and groping and panting.
Go to the beach with your kids' wrestling team with all the other families breeding, coughing, and spitting up all over the place, rolling all over each other like a bunch of fucking pigs and slopping.
That's what freedom's all about.
That's optimization.
Not these unhealthy, negative, nelly vibrations you fragile fruitcakes keep putting out into the universe.
I didn't know you thought this way.
Yeah, I'm a very spiritual guy.
Look at your statisticals.
Did you know every year more Americans died from exploding beer kegs than they do COVID?
It's a fact.
I did not know that.
Look it up, you wimp.
You don't hear Democrats wearing their panties trying to ban exploding beer cakes, do you?
Of course not.
That's because they're part of the beer keg industrial complex.
Nobody's interested here.
The dig is bigger than all of us, just like Eichenhauser said.
How come Trump didn't give you a role at the Republican convention, Chris?
What are you talking about?
I did the catering.
Got lots of roles.
Thank you and good night.

So, Joe Biden, again, is neck and neck with Donald Trump.
Everything looks like he will win because no one in America will pressure Joe Biden to actually represent anyone or do anything for anyone.
All he has to do is say he's not Trump.
And that's it, apparently.
Joe Biden can be racist.
He could be a puppet of Wall Street.
He could kick people out of their houses.
He can foreclose on them.
He can bomb brown people until they run out of bombs.
He could take fracking money.
He could do, he could open the Arctic to drilling.
He could put immigrants in cages, which he's all these things Joe Biden has done.
He could make it harder for bankrupted people to get rid of their medical debt.
He's done that.
So that's where we're at.
And guess what?
Just so Joe Biden has just made a promise to his Wall Street donors after being lauded for his task force policies.
Now, I don't know if you remember when Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders put up, started these task forces to work on these problems.
I immediately said, this was bullshit that Bernie was doing this.
How dare he?
Shame on you for bullshitting us like this.
Why are you pretending like we don't know what the problems are in this country?
And why are you pretending like we don't already know what the solutions are?
And why are you pretending like we have to get people together in a room to figure out the problems and the solutions to our problems?
We all know what the problems and solutions are.
And the only reason yet you're doing this, Bernie, is this is window dressing to fool people into thinking Joe Biden gives a shit about them.
And Bernie's willingly going along with that.
Bernie is willingly gaslighting his own followers, you and anybody else who will listen to him.
Bernie is willing to lie to them that Joe Biden is somehow FDR.
He said this.
This is lies.
Those task forces were lies.
I said they were lies when they were announced.
They were lies.
Bernie Sanders and everybody who participated in them are liars and they are participating in fucking lying to you.
After being lauded for his task force policies, the Democratic nominee promised wealthy contributors that changing corporate behavior is not going to require legislation.
I'm not proposing any.
So he was lying about his task force recommendations.
Just like the Sunrise movement, they gave their imprimatur to Joe Biden's campaign.
They were completely used.
I said they were being used.
They were used.
They willingly were used because people want to be part of the club.
The woman who runs Sunshine Foundation completely sold out to Joe Biden.
Sun Sound Foundation completely sold out to the Democratic Party and corporate America and the gas lobby and the fracking lobby.
They completely sold out to them.
That's what those task forces were.
And now we know for sure that's now the evidence is here again.
Jimmy, why are you being so negative?
What was Bernie supposed to do?
Could you be fucking stummer on purpose?
But what was he supposed to do?
Could you get out of commenting on politics if that's what you're saying?
The Biden campaign said the economic recommendations produced jointly by supporters of Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders were never intended as official policy.
So this is Joe Biden pissing right directly in Bernie Sanders' face and yours.
And what does Bernie Sanders say?
Thank you, sir.
Piss on me again.
And it's not just pissing on his face.
It's let's fuck over people hard.
Yes, sir.
I'm going to help Joe Biden fuck people over.
The economic recommendations included ideas that worried some powerful bankers.
In a private call with in a private call with Wall Street leaders, the Biden campaign made it clear those proposals would not be central to Biden's agenda.
How do you feel now?
I'm still voting for Joe Biden, and I'm going to proclaim it two months ahead of time.
And you're a bad person if you won't.
What kind of a child are you?
Sounds like you're the child.
Sounds like you're the child.
And you cling to your authoritarian childhood.
You want a daddy to tell you what to do, how to vote, who ought to be a good boy.
You're so afraid of not being a good boy.
Listen, this is just an exercise to keep the Warren people happy.
And don't read too much into it, referring to supporters of Senator Elizabeth Warren.
This is just an exercise.
All that shit Elizabeth Warren did for the, and that's, and that's them.
They have contempt for her.
After all the shit she did to help fuck screw over Bernie Sanders for Joe Biden, they still have, of course, when you bend to them, they never respect you.
They only have contempt for you.
They only look down their nose at you and piss right in your face.
This is Joe Biden pissing right in Elizabeth Warren's face.
I don't mean to denigrate people are into golden showers.
Everybody has their own sexual proclivities.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And everyone knows you're in his sterile.
But that's the investment banker said the message was conveyed on multiple calls and spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private talks.
So it sounds like Joe Biden, just like Hillary Clinton.
Remember, Hillary Clinton says she has both a public and a private position on Wall Street.
And how do we know that?
Julian Assange let us know that Hillary Clinton had a public and private position.
Now it's the Washington Post doing that.
Are they going to prosecute the Washington Post?
No, it's okay when they do it.
She also admitted, do you see this?
She also admitted she was kind of far removed from the middle class.
You think?
A couple of hundred millionaires?
A couple of hundred millionaires?
I like what Andrew Perez said about this story being revealed in the Washington Post.
God, this is such a giant fuck you to voters, Democrats that Democrats really need.
And to everyone who has been completely pummeled by corporate America.
That's how That's supposed to read.
This is a giant fuck you to voters the Democrats really need and to anyone.
Getting ready to kick 27 million freaking families out of their homes.
Wall Street as they get a trillion dollars at the drop of a hat anytime they need it from the government.
Socialism for Wall Street, rugged individualism for everyone else.
Also, Bernie got rolled and should get the fuck off TV talking up Biden.
Andrew Perez is correct.
Bernie did not get rolled, by the way.
He did not get blindsided by the machine.
Bernie Sanders called the machine up, invited it over, and jumped underneath it.
He did not get rolled.
Bernie Sanders is doing this to himself, his movement, every progressive, every poor person.
He's doing this to everyone.
He's doing it.
And why is he doing it to save his own ass?
Because Bernie Sanders isn't the guy we all hoped he was at all, even a little.
He's the opposite.
He was a guy set there to make sure we didn't have a third party over the last five years.
That was his job.
And he fucking did it perfectly.
And now, who got no choice?
Why make this public?
I like this.
Why make this public?
That's the part I don't get.
Why not keep it a secret conversation between him and his bankers?
Why would you make this public?
Why would they let this leak?
Well, his campaign seems to be very intentionally rebuking the left at every opportunity.
Yes.
If they alienate the left wing of the base hard enough, they'll win over the five Republican voters they really care about.
This is the same strategy they had.
There's never going to be a Democratic Party whose presidential candidate cares about the people.
This is two right-wing, conservative, oligarch, rapacious fucking parties.
You have no choice.
You vote for Joe Biden, he's going to punch you with his left hand.
You vote for Donald Trump, he's going to punch you with his right hand.
You're fucked.
And all those people on Twitter and Facebook virtue signaling that they're voting Biden and that makes them a better person are fucking willing tools of a rapacious oligarchy.
And they're the enemies of their own selves.
And I guess they're pretty rich because they don't have a problem they need Joe Biden to solve.
Because if you had a problem you wanted Joe Biden to address, you would be fucking screaming about it instead of telling everybody else to shut up.
Rich white guys and lots of them, you know, I heard I've seen rich white comedians left and right.
And my latest one was, yeah, my late, you know, do you know that rich white comedians with diabetes?
And that is Joe, who are on Medicare.
Joe Biden is their favorite presidential candidate.
If you're a rich white comedian on Medicare, Joe Biden is your favorite candidate.
You're not going to scream at him to get you Medicare because you already got it.
And then at the bottom, because in the Thunderdome, he gets points by killing off the plebs.
That's why.
That's why they let all this leak, Joe Biden.
87% of Democrats support Medicare for all, though Joe Biden doesn't.
What?
Could you be a bigger asswipe pledging your votes to this guy?
The answer is no.
And the fact that everybody's doing it just goes to show you that George Orwell was right.
What relationship, Jimmy?
What relationship in the world would you keep going back to that somebody keeps saying, listen, baby, listen, baby.
That's an abusive relationship.
I'm going to do it for you.
And I never will.
It's abusive.
87% of Democrats support Medicare for all, though Joe Biden doesn't.
And here, here's Biden now vows to bring back Obama's individual mandate penalty for not having sure.
So if you don't pay a private insurance company money for insurance that you're never going to be able to use because your deductible is too high, Joe Biden will fine you.
He won't give you health care, but he will fine you if you don't give money to a health insurance company, which whose insurance you're buying is never going to be used on you because you can't afford deductibles.
Because you got a $10,000 deductible.
And so that means you still don't.
So do you see how Obamacare didn't help poor people?
The working poor?
So if you're the working poor and Obamacare comes around, you have a $10,000 deductible.
You still don't go to the doctor ever.
So, you know, the NBA players went on strike.
You know, the NBA players went on strike for social justice.
NBA players decided not to take the court on Wednesday following police shooting Jacob Blake in Kenosha.
So that was great.
That's exactly what we need.
Muhammad Ali, remember, he wouldn't go, I'm not going to go fight a Vietnamese guy.
Vietnamese Denver did nothing to me.
They never did nothing to me.
So that's great.
That's what we need.
We need people like that.
What we don't need is people like Barack Obama.
Barack Obama helped convince NBA players to end their strike and return to play.
In a call with Chris Paul and LeBron James, Barack Obama urged NBA players to return to the court and resume the playoffs.
Jeez.
You know, Barack Obama always exerts his influence on important things, like ending Bernie's chances in the primaries, helping Dianne Feinstein win her reelection, or to end basketball players striking for racial justice.
I wonder if Barack Obama told LeBron James to pull up their pants, too.
I wonder if he's telling them to pull up their pants while you're doing that.
Hey, quit striking for racial justice.
Quit bringing attention to a big problem.
I'm the guy who's here to make people forget about that.
And pull your pants up.
Pull your pants up.
Nobody wants to droop your pants out there on the court.
A call for Barack Obama to a small group of players, including NBAPA president Chris Paul and Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, helped convince NBA players to end their strike in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake and return to the court to finish the playoffs.
When you play, people have hope, and they need that hope.
Hope eventually something changes.
Hope you don't.
Play.
Don't protest.
Obama out.
Obama out.
The season Was hanging in the balance when James and Paul spoke to Obama after a tense meeting between players, coaches, and union leadership on Wednesday night following the Milwaukee Bucks to players' decision to refuse to take the court and players from subsequent teams joining them.
Come on, y'all.
Let's all have a beer and get rid of this stupid idea of protesting against police brutality of Barack Obama.
This is the perfect example of neoliberalism blocking true and effective tactics for change.
Oh, and breaking a unionized strike.
The players were on the cusp of leading the people to progress.
They were going to do a real unionized strike, and Barack Obama stopped them.
Barack Obama, the poster child of neoliberalism.
Do you now understand that Barack Obama is not the best president in your lifetime, you fucking morons?
Do you now realize that Barack Obama is not a good president?
He's not even a good person.
He's actually Darth Vader.
Barack Obama is Darth Vader.
I hope I'm using that right because I didn't see the movie.
But he's a dark force for evil, right?
Okay.
Obama looks like he's pitching one of his Netflix deals, doesn't he?
Obama convinced NBA players not to strike, so he cares more about capitalism than he does about black lives.
Classism is really killing us.
Obama has gotten off his ass twice this year, once to fuck Bernie and the United States.
Remember, Barack Obama made sure all those people dropped out, got behind Joe Biden to fuck Bernie.
And the second time Barack Obama got off his ass was to scold the NBA back into playing.
He is not any working person's friend or support.
He is a total and complete sellout.
He's not a sellout.
He is the oligarchy.
That's why he lives on a 40-acre estate on Martha's Vineyard.
That's where Barack Obama lives.
While people are getting shot in Kenosha, people are filling up hotels because they got getting evicted.
Barack Obama's on a 40-acre estate on Martha's Vineyard, and he left that estate.
Didn't even leave.
just pick up the phone to tell black players to stop striking.
He is not working.
He is not any working person's friend or support.
He is a total and complete sellout.
Yeah, but did you hear him talk about how much Joe Biden loves ice cream and pasta with red sauce?
Come on, you gotta love him.
President Barack Obama, who hoped to sow peace, instead led a nation into war.
That's from the Los Angeles Times.
It's entitled Obama's Legacy.
He hoped to sow peace, instead led the nation into war.
Thank you.
Obama's silent on card check bill.
Thank you.
What's a card check?
Card check bill is a pro-union.
All you need to know is that that's what unions want.
It helps workers form unions, card check.
So instead of having an election, so if you run a company and people want to join a union, you're supposed to do the card check measure, which is much different than holding an election because in an election, the management can now fucking pressure people a certain way to vote.
That's why you don't do it that way.
And if you did it that way, you're hostile to workers and you're not really a progressive.
The way you're supposed to do unions is through card check, meaning when a certain over 50% of people sign a card that say they want a union, that's it.
Then you got it.
No fucking election.
No this.
No pressure campaigns one way or another.
No.
No.
Thank you.
The $8 trillion bailout, many details of Barack Obama's rescue plan remain uncertain, but it's likely to cost at least $700 billion, and that would push Uncle Sam's bailouts over $8 trillion.
That's Barack Obama's endless money for the banks.
There was $29 billion for Bear Stearns.
There was $345 billion for Citigroup.
The Federal Reserve put up $600 billion to guarantee money market deposits and has aggressively driven down interest rates to essentially zero.
Merry Christmas, Wall Street, Main Street.
You must have been bad this year.
Here's a lump of coal.
Literally.
Hey, look who Obama's look for looking for Obama's hidden hand in candidates coalescing around Biden.
It was the hand that pulled the levers at MSNBC, all the other candidates, and then the extended its middle finger to all of America.
That was Barack Obama's.
Accelerate the endgame, Obama's role in wrapping up the primary.
Accelerate the end game.
Accelerate the end game.
That's how they refer to Barack Obama, making sure Bernie lost the primary and we got Joe Biden, a demented war criminal criminal.
Accelerate the endgame is also going to be the name of his new Netflix series about a guy who gets a job and then does the opposite of what he was hired to do.
So he gets replaced by a fascist demagogue based on a true story.
That's a great joke by Ron.
Thank you.
I like this.
Public option, 2000 economic recovery, Bernie's campaign.
Now the NBA strike.
It's Barack Obama.
Obama was a bad president.
His ideas were bad.
His refusal to wield power in favor of being a beloved celebrity is a significant, though not total, explanation for why the world is on fire.
They're going to rub our faces in this fact until we admit it.
Democratic policy, Democrats did policy under Obama for eight years to help plutocrats under the progressive brand.
Even today, no elected leader will stand up and say Obama was a bad president because progressives will not elect leaders who say that.
There is no actual discussion of ideas of power or power.
No, there isn't.
Bernie would not critique Barack Obama.
That's what gave us Donald Trump.
