"Obama's never spoken out about police abuse."



This a terrible panel with West and the moronic libertarian.

in ways that are ineffective because he is sloppy with his use of statistics.

He should speak out, but he should respect the truth.

Maher frustrates me sometimes. Truly.

Upon reflection, maybe it's a good idea to let West expose himself for the total f'king idiot that he is.

I will try to find a link for the stream if possible. But he is not a fan of Dr. West. Says the Dr. West did not really involve himself in civil rights like he seems to have folks believing.

I find West infatuated with himself. The intellectual showman.

David Duke cares so much about criminal justice reform, women's rights, expanded health care, etc., right? SMH, this dude...

He's right at home under Jill Stein's tent. She has all of the hyperbole, lunacy, and anti-Democrat red meat that he could ever want.

Count your blessings that you haven't ever been forced to be around him--especially when he was younger and more vitriolic in more quiet moments. He's older now and more mellow if you can believe it .

Everybody vote!

Our votes across the country in every state - not just swing states - total up to a great repudiation of the Republicans and their nominee Trump!

Every vote DOES count!

Thank you, Barney!

Cornell West is a complete fucking idiot and has been for some time. Last year he called our President "niggerized". It tells you all you need to know about that ass clown.
