Back to episode — Episode 817 Scott Adams - Who REALLY Won in New Hampshire, New Stupid Attack on Trump

sip. All you need is really not much. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, chalice, or stein, a canteen, jug, or flask. A vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And get ready for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's a beverage that is spewing hearts. I think if I've got my left and righ…
← Previous segment →no particular order, and you know that gigantic story about the anti-Trump guy who tried to massacre a bunch of Trump volunteers? You know, the thing that everybody is talking about? It's a gigantic story. I mean, why wouldn't it be? There's somebody who tried to massacre a bunch of Trump supporters. Oh wait, it's not a national story. It's kind of a little blip. As I was mentioning, the guy that got lost in the wash. That's right. There's somebody who tried to murder Trump supporters. Didn't try to kill a leader, tried to kill ordinary voters who are just registering people to vote. They weren't causing trouble. So that's where the rhetoric against Trump supporters gets you. Somebody actually tried to kill them. Amazing.
We'll get to New Hampshire. I'm just letting people pile in here. My favorite pundit, and I say favorite because he's so absurd, is this Stephen Collinson, a guy who writes an anti-Trump article for CNN.com just about every day. And here's how he is trying to create the newest frame in which people can find a way to hate Trump, because they're running out of ways. It's like, oh, he's colluding with the Russians. Okay, he's not. He did something terribly impeachable. Okay, it wasn't that impeachable. It was closer to a perfect letter than impeachable. So they're desperately cycling through, well, he doesn't seem like he's actually insane. So here's what they landed on, and you can see that Stephen Collinson is sort of, I think, maybe testing the water with this.
So here's the approach, quote from his article: "The sudden storm over Stone," and so talking about Roger Stone and possible pardon, "triggered by an early hours tweet by the president as part of an accelerated pattern of unmoderated behavior since Trump was found not guilty of impeachable offenses." Wait a minute. He was found not guilty of impeachable offenses? That's the wrong sentence, isn't it? Wasn't he found not guilty? If they were impeachable offenses, that would suggest that it was just a mistake and he was actually guilty. I like how he sort of stuck that in there so you uncritically read it as though it was a travesty of justice. Yeah, so there were impeachable offenses, but inexplicably he wasn't impeached. How do you explain it? It's hard to explain.
Anyway, some of whom expressed the hope that the scar of impeachment, the scar of impeachment, the red letter I that's now burned on his chest, he will forever suffer the scar of impeachment. I haven't noticed, have you? It must be like a little scar that's maybe underneath his arm here where you don't see it. I mean, there might be a scar of impeachment on Trump, but I haven't seen it yet. It must be very small and covered with clothing. But anyway, it looks like the new attack against Trump is that he's unleashed. No longer can his dictatorial impulses be controlled. He can't be controlled. He's Godzilla. No, he can't be Godzilla. Somebody else is Godzilla. So it feels like not the strongest attack because it just doesn't ring true. But they're trying desperately to find something that connects as a criticism.
All right, the big stor

y, one of the big stories from last night, is that Yang is out. Andrew Yang has dropped out of the race. Did not really get the support that he needed to continue. But I would like to join all of you in thanking Andrew Yang. And I think most of you would agree with this. I think he made the race better. I think he made the conversation in the United States about the topics that he was pushing — yo…
