Chapo Trap House: Episode 98 - Gorka II: The Gorkaning feat. Alex Pareene & James Adomian

April 10, 2017 10:05 AM

Sebastian Gorka calls in again to comment on the fall of the hated Bannon and disclaim his connections to fascist movements: "Do you consider a surface-level series of tattoos to be a 'deep tie' to an organization? I'm not an active member."

Alex Pareene comes on the show to discuss his piece on Trump as avatar of the conservative media grift-o-sphere, but his appearance is hijacked to talk about his other unfortunately prophetic piece, You Cretins Are Going To Get Thousands Of People Killed:

Now that Trump has learned that there is a direct relationship between a president’s body count and how “presidential” the mainstream political press considers him to be, the whole world is fucked.

This is one of those 'water in the desert' kind of episodes where you feel like you've been in need of a voice that sees the world the same as you do your whole life while all you have access to is news sources that makes excuses to wage wars. I just sat in silence for 10 minutes after listening to that interview.

I wonder if Trump takes Alex Jones' male vitality pills.
