We confront the grim reality of the end of Roe, and living in a country increasingly dominated by a seemingly insurmountable authoritarian conservative legal regime. But as we imagine what a functional Democratic party might do to protect these rights, we also look at how a functional party apparatus does work. Specifically, the GOP’s unified, brutal, and increasingly hilarious disciplining of one Madison Cawthorn, who in addition to several other potentially career-ending scandals, is today being smeared for Cousin Perversions.

This one is going to be a banger

cried laughing at the title alone. what a cathartic podcast this can be god damn

Warbs

Hyped for this, but we need a follow up from Stavros on Madison.

How could you guys do this? 😔

Matthew Black

I’m genuinely baffled as to how everybody else isn’t also losing their mind. I’m barely capable of not [PARODY PARODY] Mortal Kombat X [PARODY ] Samuel Alito

William

First half feeling like the deficit rag, or the we live in the zone episode. It was comfortable in a nostalgic way but depressing to be at that place again. Appreciate the help processing this though, boys

Michael

Corey Robin really hit the nail on the head in The Reactionary Mind. They can never go far enough.

Matthew Black

Also disagree with Matt, the idea of the US devolving into a confederation of 50 different sovereign entities with fundamentally incompatible definitions of murder is absolutely insane and will start producing armed conflict almost immediately. Remember when ICE was operating illegally in NY State immigration courts?

ScottB

Chris I love that you included the audio of that woman doing an impression of Marge Simpson as Don Corleone, great work as always man

Ozzie

I hope the GOP maintains legal abortions for accidental cousin impregnation

Cameron Young

Barry Switzer suitcase full of guns shoutout. Why did he have weapons in his suitcase according to him ? Wanted to keep them away from the grandkids who were coming over and he forgot about it. Top shelf oaf shit.

Now imagining an old-timey instructional short film where the BDS Fairy torments little Timmy who wished Israel never existed and now regrets the lack of irrigation, stem cell-derived vaccines and missile defense.

Matt James Rich

Everything you've described has already happened in this country in slight variations, and will happen again.

If you really think about it, like philosophically, or like in terms of mitochondrial DNA 'n such - we're all cousins kinda

Schumer is holding a vote to codify Roe next week. Dont forget to vote, donate, text bank, donate, buy merch, and donate!

Zach Lemon

In terms of the frog in boiling water analogy, the KKKaliphate (formerly known as Freedomstan) is entering the microwave oven on popcorn setting.

Gengeros

Anyone, anyone, ANYONE who has the BALLS to tell you this is why you should vote for the Democrats should point out that the only reason the Republican Party even has any power to begin with is because of the collaboration with the Republican Party. Not voting for Democrats and having the party obliterated means there would be an actual left opposition to Republicans.

Gengeros

I hate Bernie Sanders and AOC more than I hate Schumer or Obama at this point

Gengeros

I think we should give America back to the First nation peoples and have an application test to apply for citizenship to live under the First nation peoples.

Poor Cousin-Lover Cawthorne can’t catch a break :(

wtf theyre gonna overturn Chris Wade?

Warbs

To me, the video just looks like Madison is trying to make starting quarterback for varsity.

Bugger Off

Seriously, of all the episodes for Amber to NOT be on…

Sifl

Overturning Roe is just the beginning and next in line is not Obergfell. Next will be a radical overhaul of the commerce clause and reversal of the Chevron doctrine. J. Thomas' radical interpretation of the commerce clause will be adopted by the court in order to strike down any federal legislation that is actually regulating the buying and selling of goods and services across state lines. Basically Lochner era court will return. No EPA, NLRB, EEOC, etc. And the end of Chevron means that any dodo brain right winger judge can overturn an agency decision just because they see things differently. The USSC is now a purely political institution with Alito decimating stare decisis. Anything short of packing the court or jurisdiction stripping will mean the return of the Lochner era.

Nobody

They famously have executive power to do whatever they want, but don't do it, which is why you hate them. Totally AOC's fault they didn't codify Roe in 2009

Nobody

The Republican party needs to be slaughtered

Nobody

Haha oh yeah a "real left" party that will then have to fight a total gerrymandered and stolen government that is full authoritarian would be much easier. Fuck off with this accelerationist shit that gets people imprisoned and killed

antipatterns

I've seen this "defense" of them before. You're going to have to come up with something better soon. We all know what Jared is talking about.

Nobody

Also reminder people like Elizabeth Bruenig exist, who was a guests on here, and should be shunned. No allying with those god damn people

Gengeros

Not talking about elections....

Gengeros

We've been in Lochner era for a long time already. Judicial reform at this point is meaningless unless we have a complete overall of our entire government and constitution.

William Beamish

why would you hate the party insurgents over the party leadership? confusing and silly opinion. AOC and Bernie hold 1 seat each, what do you expect them to do?

orc

getting arrested in transit at George Bush airport for muling abortion pills

Elai Kehler

the rising unionization efforts across the country are our last hope, a Bernie Sanders campaign if it happens at all should be treated as an echo for these efforts needs to happen at the very least when the Dems rat fuck him again there would be some structure for the energy to be funneled into

Mark Schneider

I live in Northern Minnesota and couldn't agree more!! White man culture is irredeemably violent and ignorant.

Mark Schneider

Stop jerking off in fancy clothes at Rich People parties?

Ian and Alyssa Neitzke

I love the idea of a “boys being boys” situation where a man with no leg function “overpowers” his cousin to clown him by face-humping him naked. How submissive is his cousin to just play along?

Mark Schneider

I haven't listened to the Ep yet, but the Kissin' Cousins stuff reminded me of the New Hampshire as$hole congressman in Veep married to his half-sister. They called it before it happened. Btw has anyone looked into MTG's parentage? Her IQ level suggests serious inbreeding.

Nathan

no, there won't be. the dems are going to lose hard and nothing will fill the void. sometimes countries get ruled by right wing lunatics for a long time.

Vincent Utah

Even my long time DNC heads I’ve known for years are now saying, “Yep, we fucked up. The party’s dead.” Crazy to think 10 years ago we were talking about some kind of imminent end for the GOP. This shit sucks so fucking bad.

W

listening to the second half of this in the gym is too much lmao

Dennis

You guys really gotta unlock this episode, my liberal friends need to confront reality.

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

That clip always irked me because I think it’d be better if they said “my special little guy”, not “my boy”

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

Listening to the first half of this episode and how we can’t assume anything is safe brought out my epic gamer mode and made me think of Lucifer saying to the Demi-Fiend to abandon all pre-conceived notions

Michael

I don't see how the existence of the Democrats is preventing "an actual left opposition" from emerging outside electoral politics.

Michael

That was the beginning of the end for him with the Cowboys.

Chanel Bell

Straight up this is the first time i cried about a Supreme Court ruling. I'm just totally horrified for the future.

Jordan Brewer

Madison Cawthorn: all my homies would get pussy if I had one

Mark Schneider

"Leftists" are too lazy?? The Dem party is a ridiculous sham, that openly markets itself to be a nonentity? So if there were a "Left" in the USA, where would it be? Maybe on Chapo, Trillbilllies & TrueAnon? That's it as far as I can see.

SH

Changing yes- getting more republican

Zachary Sloan

lmao, the weird "did you know your parents HAD SEX?!" guy I knew in 6th grade was named Landon; perhaps there is truth to what Dreyfus says, because I could definitely have imagined that guy placing his dick in various locations as an older teenager

Zachary Sloan

I wouldn't count on anything; low-income jobs are increasingly trending towards being basically impossible to unionize (like gig economy or high turnover retail work, where workers can never really form a community together). And even to the extent unions can improve conditions for the people fortunate enough to be able to form them, they've proven to be pretty bad at actually achieving more significant political change, even during their peak. I'm inclined to think that it's probably inherently impossible to achieve any sort of large left-wing political movement within a modern media environment. It would require that a critical mass of people completely reject societal norms, and such an outcome isn't one to look forward to, because it would be predicated on even the most basic of their needs not being met.

Vincent Utah

Maybe in other places. On my end I’ve seen more of, “Oh I guess I’m just going to solely focus on my job and/or some hobbies and shit.” Wish I could do the same tbh.

Peter Cunningham

Genuinely curious: what is her position on abortion? I assume she'd never get one herself, obviously, but I've never seen or heard a single word from her about a stance on policy, just oblique comments like this

Sammi

Can’t believe Amber didn’t jump on this one.

Of course

Associating Bruenig's personal moral questioning of abortion with a political movement of sadists dedicated to traumatizing and terrorizing women into submission is the same as scolds who think enjoying a Viking movie will lead to Nazi party recruitment and the Fourth Reich. It's true that I'm not attending to Bruenig's qualms right now because they're not important to the urgent issues at hand. But it's something worse than a waste of time to bring her mere personal opinions up. If I'm mistaken, and Bruenig campaigns for a state-enforced prohibition on abortion, contraception, gay marriage, etc, let us know.

Nobody

Oh yeah just personal opinions of subjugation of women because your pedophile church tells you so. No big deal. It's no different than talking about any other conservative's opinion on here

Snackator

couldn't agree more. the right is all about in-group/out-group and punishing the out-group at all costs.

Snackator

that's a real funny bit!

Jake Zydek

looks like Dreher found his crowd

Merkaba Rob

OH-MY-EYE-OH! Sorry Madison, I'm stealing that for common use... or possibly meditation.

Harper Big Spender Karabees

I wonder if Ben Dreyfuss heard that teen boys would "put dicks on each others' faces when they were asleep" and didn't realize they meant "draw them on in marker." Yeah, of course every high school boy put a guy in a gimp suit and made him his fart slave...10th grade, man...

G

They’ll make those illegal because those fetuses will be their voters in 18 years ha

G

I guess I’m a fucking idiot but for some reason I just didn’t think it would happen. And the fact that where I live is basically a red state really terrifies me.

Of course

Bernie and AOC aren't insurgents of any kind. They're legitimizers and gatekeepers, and I fell for it... with lots of volunteering and money. Chapo more or less went silent on Bernie at al, but they continue to chatter about elections... mostly because they provide an unending conveyor belt of characters to laugh at. And the jokes are funny, and we can virtually bond over the contempt we share for these clowns,... so there's that.

Nolan

Blasians could rule the world.

etienne

wishing the democrats a happy filibustering 17 anti abortion anti contraception anti gay anti sodomy anti pornography anti union bills every year

Do Golems Dream of Ceramic Sheep

and every month or so they'll stop filibustering the last one on the list. (as in slowly giving up on union rights, then rights of sex workers, then queer people's rights, etc)...

Lexe

Where has she gone to??

Woke Batou

Big moment for the socialist Catholics. I'm sure they're totally disappointed right now

Andrew Richardson

She supports welfare programs that end child poverty as a way to reduce the legitimate need for abortion. She doesn’t support ‘subjugation of women’ lol- she supports socialism

Friend of Pangolin

Do I expect more of AOC and Bernie? Yes. But "they are worse than Schumer and Obama". Gotta say you sound pretty fucking sus, Jared. Hoping that's not the case and that your brain is just a little too wet today.

Warbs

That's how Chapo ends, with Matt refusing to take Will and Felix on his honeymoon

Nobody

Oh fuck off. Women should be allowed abortion even if they WANT it. It isn't a "needs based" only issue. She wants it banned.

Valentino

I NEED Stav's take on this
