In Membership, The Young Turks Hour 1 - On Demand by klingbeil2111 Comments

Sarah Palin endorses Donald Trump. Due to the damage bombing has done to ISIS’ ability to travel and make their money, they’re forced to slash their employees’ pay by 50\%. An ISIS supporter is complaining that she keeps receiving dick pics from ISIS fighters that caught wind of her support.

Tax the Rich segment. A study showed that the richest 62 individuals’ wealth is equivalent to the bottom 50\% of the world’s population. Ana goes off on investments. Chris Christie spoke to an 11 year old about Michelle Obama’s lunch initiative at schools. Video of Christie pointing out that Obama should stay out of people’s business of eating habits. John talks about how the kid referenced the school lunches were better when Bush was in office, which was when he was 3 years old, and not in school.

Teachers at Detroit schools are posting pictures and detailed accounts of the absolutely unbearable conditions at their schools. The attention this is getting has forced the mayor and now the governor to act like they’re concerned about the problem.

  1. Of course they don’t care about educating the poor and minorities, they need those kids to grow up and eventually fill the prisons.

  2. More Chris Christie — once, when Jimmy was on — one of your members tweeted, “Being an unfuckable fat ass is the best birth control,” and I sent it to one of my brothers, who hates CC. It has since made the rounds through everyone my brother knows and he’s a construction worker (so you can imagine). That was one of the best CC jokes I’ve ever heard. I vote for John and Jimmy to share every joke they have about him.

  3. With regard to the kid who asked Chris Christie about school lunches.
    For 12 years I ran a child abuse hotline. Periodically, I got a call from Logan Airport. The report was always the same — some kid had managed to get onto a plane and fly across the country. The airline ALWAYS thought the kid had been sent to visit a relative across the country. Every time, I would say to the airline staff, “And he’s 11 years old.” I swear, the person ALWAYS said, “How did you know?!” I have 5 brothers and none of them were that inventive.

    1. Yuh. Very hard for someone like Ana to auto-derp realistically. Honest & smart doesn’t make for an easy job of it.

  4. Thank you Ana for your comment about fat jokes.

    It’s not original or funny to make fun of Christie’s weight. Same with Trump’s hair. These two men are such horrible people and politicians — you should be able to find something better than 5th grade name calling to attack them.

    And although I like Jimmy, I have to say as a comedian, if you have to resort to fat or hair jokes, you may want some new material. It’s not ‘edgy’ or ‘questioning the way we look at things’ to make jokes that were all the rage a century ago….

    1. My fatness doesn’t like it but my inner angry skinny asshole laughs every time. Which taken literally is really appropriate if I happen to be speaking out my butt bout such things. = P

  5. Oil prices fell significantly, and, also, Russia destroyed more than 2000 oil trucks in few recent months, USA and allies also destroyed over 500 oil trucks. While it is only a portion of oil truck fleet that reaches 20 000-30 000 for both Syria and Iraq (as per Russian satellite photos of those countries, as well as Turkey, where oil goes), the routes are disrupted, and smuggling rate has fallen.

  6. WOW. poisoned water, ramshackle schools and infrastructure, corrupt leadership. USA really working hard to be a third world country…

  7. GOGO anna i was gonna start bitching about how the stock market is a house of cards and bit coin is the only real investment but you did it for me… except for the btc part…
