Hell of Presidents: Episode 14 - American Sunset

RIP Herman Cain Look up Imagine There's No Pizza for a smile

It’s interesting hearing Matt’s discussion on the powerlessness of the presidency in the context of Trump’s second term. Trump does have a compliant SC and Congress but he’s also going balls to the walls with reorganizing the federal government, setting tariffs, deploying the national guard and bullying universities. The presidency isn’t powerless; it’s just the only thing Biden and Obama wanted to do with that power was send weapons to Israel and bomb people in the ME.

Dang, Trump II and Biden being an F tier prezzie deserve a follow up. hope the dry boy one day let's us know what he thinks of this whole mess

I so wish we could get an addendum. Trump 2: Election Boogaloo

Here, Try This

The opening music, Pruitt Igoe, is from the film Koyaanisquatsi, and played over the demolition of the housing project Pruitt-Igoe, which was designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, who also designed the original World Trade Center twin towers

Chris had me crying with that edit of that "I'm not a perfect person" song over Trumps apology lmao

Mac daddy

I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting *puts on aviators* for booty

Dr Nguyen Van Phuoc

(On modern America) “Lumpen ruling class, lumpen bourgeois, lumpen workers that do not process the world through any other lens other than as a individual consumer within a mediated spectacle of political participation” goddamn boys

Jdav

i had the same reaction lol it took them a week to count the swing states

etienne

"Biden was elected president with a sturdy margin"??? He almost lost by a margin even closer than Trump beat Clinton in 2016, what are you even talking about Chris lol

Tyler Sutherland

This has been so enlightening. We can all see the big shifts, thank you guys walking us through the forces and the progressively worse deals behind them

SlowTrickle

anyone remembers the Trans Pacific Partnership? that was the asian trade deal that Obungler negociated and Hilldawg was supposed to pass. Thousands upon thousands of pages of byzantine intellectual property extension tacked on top of NAFTA Part Deux: now your job is in Indonesia. Underrated factor why Hilly lost the GE. Trump and Sanders saw it and were like "wtf is this shit?" and the official explanation was "look it's to do geopolitical containment against china". Trump shitcanned it, one of his few good calls

etienne

This was a great series. I learned a lot. Thank you both for the excellent content.

Eli Da Great

I will commit violence upon you. I can't believe that this is the movie that came to your mind

etienne

this Koyaanisquatsi medley opening goes hard

etienne

Love the Watchmen referencing at the beginning

Donald

That song @59:25 that uses Hail To the Chief's notes with a different execution kills me every time

Ghordo

Matt’s political/sociological analysis is always so impressive and incisive

Brooks Finby

I bet I have no idea about 99% of what you do. Anyways, keep it up. (Clap on back)

The Squash

Ya know Matt may be the brains but you're so much more than just the arms and legs Chris. I Really appreciate what you do.

The Squash

Missing Matt's indignation and bent toward the historic narrative at this point in history

bruce moment

Finishing up the 2nd play through of my favorite Chapo spin off series. Thanks for adding here for easy replayability!

Ozzie

That intro is so good. Love the nod to Koyaanisqatsi. Life out of balance indeed.

Mitch Jones

Agree I'm only half through but it's fascinating and I'm glad I can learn history but not have to worry about hearing some absurd America loving takes

nat

Always loved the intro to this episode, listing off all of the crises that America orchestrated and walked into.
