Olbermann is yesterday's news.

You're a lot likelier to see the Pod Save America guys effectively catalyze this into actual political gain, be it running for office or any other outcome.

Like, Jon Favreau is obscenely handsome. Got higher office written all over him.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Olberman is like the batman of politics. (half joke)

--

I wonder how many States have to legalize marajuana before it becomes pointless for other States to have it illegal due to the massive amount of flow between states.

Marijuana isn't going to be legal in any state with Sessions as AG.

 

[Rebel Leader]

They ruled against trump!!!!!!!!

There's a difference in style between Olbermann and Pod Save America, and I would argue that Olbermann's style of posting 10 minute video rants on Twitter to be a much more effective way of disseminating your message than a podcast.

That being said, I think Olbermann's commentary is a little stale.

 

[Paches]

Well the Republicans are big on state's right and don't like federal level intervention, so they should be ok. Wait...

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

They ruled against trump!!!!!!!!

Link?!??!?!?

 

[Officerrob]

Hold that L Donald

 

[Rebel Leader]

Link?!??!?!?

Msnbc and cnn now. I'm watching tv

 

[tbm24]

9th circuit ruling coming up as CNN continues to not understand what breaking news means!

Oh apparently it's out, Trump taking that L!

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Refused to reinstate the ban woo

Marijuana isn't going to be legal in any state with Sessions as AG.

We'll see. I think it'll be up to Trump.

It's already a 7+billion dollar industry.

 

[TiredofWinning]

Get fucked Trump

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Huzzah!

 

[benicillin]

Oh man already looking forward to the hottest of takes from Trump.

I disagree. The soundbites were too vapid a medium to take down Bush, they didn't work in the campaign against Trump and they certainly aren't enough now.

the strength (and genius) of Pod Save America/KI1600 is its ability to catalyze those shallow talking points into activism. That's something that Colbert/Stewart/Olbermann/Oliver/etc. have never been able to do -- and, in many cases, outright shied away from doing.

 

[Kaban]

They've ruled against reinstating the ban!!!

BREAKING: 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rules against reinstating Pres. Drumpf's travel ban

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Victory for basic sanity and American values, huge embarrassing loss right out of the gate for Trump. Eat that shit.

 

[Rebel Leader]

It was unanimous

3-0

 

[metalslimer]

A unanimous decision, he is losing the supreme court challenge

 

[benicillin]

It was unanimous

3-0

On the basis of "Trump's executive order unconstitutionally blocked entry based on religion."

Bet they wish they weren't out there talking mad shit on Twitter and the talk shows now.

 

[FyreWulff]

9th Circuit is the 1 in 0-1 for Trumpamania

 

[JetBlackPanda]

No dissent!

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Reminder: This is a decision on a preliminary judgment. This is not even close to the end. They may appeal the prelim to SCOTUS, but even if they don't the case goes back to the federal court level to be judged on the substantive merits.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Get fucked Trump. Can't wait to hear him whining about this on twitter.

Return of the King (Wait, Who?)

Who's alt was this?

 

[sc0la]

Msnbc and cnn now. I'm watching tv

Link to eyeball stream?

 

[Teggy]

Well, at least a little good news. Just the beginning, keep resisting.

Edit: the queen was banned?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

9/11 Man blew it again for Trump.

He failed Megatron for the last time again.

 

[NullPointer]

Olbermann is yesterday's news.

Olbermann is the epitome of self righteous shaming, which Republicans have calibrated their deflectors against.

Dems gotta change the polarity to the upper EM band.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Even though the court battle isn't even close to over, we can at least point to the fact that to win this battle we had to show a likelihood of prevailing on the merits. This means we're in good shape even on the substantive issues, so far.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Cant wait to see the white house spin about all this losing they've been doing lately.

 

[nature boy]

SO MUCH LOSING

 

[rec0ded1]

aaaaaaand of course "As judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals weigh the legality of President Trump's immigration executive order, a Republican push to split up the controversial court -- and shrink its clout -- is gaining steam on Capitol Hill"

lmao, they don't have the votes at all, go fuck yourself mccain

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Was Santorum going to say the n-word back in his 2012 campaign? Yes, he absolutely was.

Santorum on CNN: Trump silence on Quebec reflects WH "narrative" strategy, just like Obama staying quiet about "black-on-white" crime

SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

We've reached an all caps level of anger!

Iranian doctors are clearly the people we need to be watching closely.

 

[B-Dubs]

Iranian doctors are clearly the people we need to be watching closely.

Don't forget sick Syrian children who need life saving heart surgeries that only we can do.

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

"See you in court."

Lol, Donny boy you just saw them in court.

 

[Parham]

I wonder what the split looks like if this goes to the Supreme Court.

 

[nature boy]

Good thing the Administration has the WORLD CLASS legal mind Jeff Sessions!

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Iranian immigrants are seriously like the best in America, what a fucker.

 

[Teggy]

Damn, that decision is fire. They basically got laughed out of court.

Republicans now going off on "one unelected judge". Shameless how a party that constantly preaches about the constitution thinks they are above it.

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

I wonder what the split looks like if this goes to the Supreme Court.

If anyone dissents it'll be Thomas.

Can't imagine Roberts or Kennedy going for this.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Lmao the AP alert for Trump's response was literally:

Trump tweets "SEE YOU IN COURT" after losing appeals case.


I can't

 

[kess]

Bet the hot take from the right on this is that it's not a muslim ban despite Trump campaigning on one.

 

[benicillin]

Now is a good time for Republicans to consider dumping Trump since he's a verified loser.

 

[metalslimer]

lol Steve king calling it a terrorist ban

 

[kirblar]

I wonder what the split looks like if this goes to the Supreme Court.

Would not be surprised if they 8-0 to send a message.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

lol Steve king calling it a terrorist ban

Lets not breath any air, because some air is polluted.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Would not be surprised if they 8-0 to send a message.

Thomas is always on fuck shit. 6-2
