Jimmy Dore is about 10% right in what he thinks, but 100% entertaining in how he explains what he thinks. I respect that fact that, unlike most all other leftists, he hasn't fallen victim to TDS. I watch his show clips when he posts them, he's very honest and when Trump does stuff like pulling out of Syria he actually gives the guy credit. He is 100% correct with regard to the news people he's calling out.

The parts you agree with are those that paint Trump in a good light.
Reverse TDS is still TDS.

Reverse TDS would be "Trump Affirmation Syndrome" or TAS. I think Fullauto likes seeing irrational ideologues on the left lose their shit and spaz out more than anything else. I actually don't think Fullauto is as ideologically-possessed as many accuse him of being because those who are can't summon a sense of humor. And he's hilarious. He respects Jimmy for his integrity, as do I. I'll tell Jimmy he's wrong about A and B, and we can argue, but in the end we both know that we're genuinely trying to navigate reality with honest intentions. You can work with people like that. I got in touch with Ron Placone and we chatted over email - I prepared a brief for him on the DPI network policy control industry and the history of network neutrality from the perspective of a person who was riding the crest of the wave that created the controversy in the first place. Ron is really keen on network neutrality. He asked me some follow-up questions and thanked me for the info package. I like those people - the Jimmy Dore people. I don't like Abby Martin but can't summon digust for her I think because she's so damn screwable.
