    I thought Glenn worked for Theil, is this video one of his slimy tricks? He said only elites fear Trump. That Bannon was a socialist. Even pretended to care about Palestinians, who are now being erased from existence.

    Those just seem like smears from the duopoly (oligarch lackeys) loving apologetics (celebrity worshipper).

    I wont watch the video. I have heard all I need to from that man.

    The whole post and reason for it is about the video…

    Weird people on forums hahaha.

    I guess your reason for commenting on the post about a Glenn video is just to show how much you disagree with the way he thinks instead of your way of thinking.

    All is well, thanks for commenting your disdain, peace.

    Edit:

    1. Words, apoliticals to apologetics (celebrity worshipper)
