  • What do you mean buckle? You liberals have to stop spending!

  • Vote all of these assholes out!

  • @Stingerbillion Yeah, but who are you gonna vote in? Another set of assholes.

  • @lestliness listen,

    the other day some commenter at TYT's put it quite well. In 2012, we basically have to choose between cow shit and rabbit shit. It's just that rabbit shit is easier to stomach.

  •  This "supercommittee" is not legal! Obama overstepped his authority in creating it!

  • Comment removed

  • Thank god I'm only 27 and don need SS. Don't plan on relying on it anyway. I'd rather demand all of what I've put in right now and never put in again cause of these idiots screwing up the system.

  • it is almost starting to annoy me that cenk is pretty much always right.

  • *peaceful protest

  • @DionLaurent1

    I actually posted something like that on facebook. Eerie.

    Anyway, I do agree. Oppression won't just magically cease to exist from a peaceful. Oakland and Denver had bad experiences, just wait until the federal gov't gets involved. Violence is coming; we must use this time to make the first strike. If we don't, they will, and they've got bigger guns.

  • @WrathchildSteven Bigger guns, yes, but we got more guns and superior numbers.

  • The Republic of Good Cop/Bad Cop.

  • Stephen Colbert was talking about the NBA Lockout: "They're still negotiating because neither side was willing to give the other side all the money."

    Apparently that doesn't also hold true with this negotiation.

  • We need a lesson from the Chilean protesters. Can we borrow Camila Vallejo? She seems to know how to negotiate.......Free Education or bust. It seems to be working for the Chilean Protesters because the Reich Wing president is slowly giving more away.

  • Dems buckling? You don't say, you don't say... Everyone in Washington in any are that matters is bought and paid for

  • Is anyone surprised at this? We need to do more than just protest! We need to hit them were it hurts! In their pocket! And if that doesn't work, we should remind them who the majority is by way of blood! Start killing these fuckers off, like what happened to Louis XVI of France. Cut his head clean off! You 1%s ARE NOT GODS! YOUR BLOOD RUNS JUST AS EASILY, IF NOT EASIER THAN OURS!

  • @DionLaurent1 agent provocateur mode

    We aren't living in the same time as those people those rules don't apply and to even try is to lose hearts and minds which is what the 99% movement has been succeeding at gaining

  • @BushidoBrownSama We may not be living in those ties but the problem is still the same. Corruption. You won't win by putting flowers in the barrel of a gun. These rich fat cats know nothing but fear. What will happen if we win? Do you think they will just comply and join us? Hell no! They will try to find a way to manipulate us again. This whole "we are the world" rhetoric will only cause casualties of the 99%. Better to kill off the 1% than masses of the 99% via pacifist acts.

  • Democrats are worthless, and republicans are vile. The country is doomed.

  • Cenk - spot on as always. The idea of cutting Social Security is the biggest scam these "representatives" pull. SS contributes nothing, zero, zilch, nada, none, not one single bit, etc etc to our debt.

  • I don't believe the Dems "Buckled" at all. All 6 of them are the worst of the worst of the Corporate Dems in both the Senate and Congress. Upton is one of the worst of the 6. Baucus is the one who refused even to entertain the idea of a Public Option and personally ordered doctors and nurses to be arrested during the first pretense of a hearing. On the R side, Kyl has been on the public payroll/doll since 16 yrs old and Hensarling is just a PUKE. Don't believe? Watch him on c-span a few times.

  • Super Committee = Super Bullshit!

  • Hey reich wingers, since when did SS and medicare ever contribute to the debt? Oh never, so you and you repubilcan't and demoncats are just lying traitors.

  • You can't trust the Democrats or the Republicans. Both sides are owned by corporations.

  • @DidYouJustMakeThatUp they dont do anything so should get out of the way. seems obama's only goal was to be president not to use the presidency to do something. reminds me fo reh first bush he was older and wanted to top out his career - he was a good man - but need more to be president. obama and the rest of the democrats are such waste

  • Democrats are bought by the same kind of people who control the Republicans like puppets.

  • if democrats cant govern then kick them out and let republicans govern

  • you finally realize that they're not just "bad negotiators"??

    duhhhh.. it's a bought, 2-party system.. both the dems and the reps are on the same side... the dems only purpose is to give people the illusion of option, but they both want the same thing..

    that's why the dems "cave" to the reps every time.

    it's not that they suck at negotiating, it's that everybody else sucks at realizing that the dems are tricking you.. they're just as fascist as the reps..

  • Republican Compromise: You scratch my back, my back gets scratched

  • Cenk you just don't understand...the Democrats are trying to trap the Magical Swing Unicorn....this Magic Unicorn only can be captured by bipartisonship and reaching out to the other side, one must be seen as reasonable by the Magical Unicorn....and when they Catch it Cenk they win every election and get Pie...now you don't want them to get Pie?

  • Thu663r Dude, you can hardly voice an opinion on this venue without some asshole accusing you of being motivated by an evil purpose, or retarded, or....take your pick of sophomoric insults, none of which stick to the average guy with a brain and a heart and a valid concern, but do serve to throw any rational discussion among adults completely off the tracks.

  • When will democrats grow a fucking pair? Or are they caving on purpose because both parties are bought?

  • @redmoonspider

    he just cracks me up man. as this is serious.

  • Part 1 of 2 The American is just a joke the democrats is given to the republicans and the republicans give nothing back I wish the two party system would just Fuck off and die they just care about the corporate greedy clowns a given campaign fund money so the politicians could look the other way world as destroy America the politicians are just a bunch of was clowns.

  • Part 2 of 2 I've made up a nickname for politicians and that is Polish - Dicks because the only thing that they do is masturbate with the power that we the people give them. I wish we could they could be independent people and instead of two party.

  • I wish we could they could be independent people and instead of two party.

  • Comment removed

  • Cenk, run for office, Please.

  • In other news, grass is green

  • 1080pHD

  • Occupy Wallstreet listen to this... this is the reason why we fight. I also thought that Democrats were horrible at making deals, but now I realize that everything in Washington is a scam.

  • @mspy01

    "but now I realize that everything in Washington is a scam."

    Well, from one human being to another, I'm glad you finally have my friend. Welcome to the beginning of a very depressing view of humanity :l

  • Least surprising title ever

  • Did anyone expect otherwise? Democrats are a bunch of pussies. They need to be voted off so we could replace them with real liberals.

  • Just click this 3:53 a few times in a row for a good chuckle.

  • we are screwed whose bright idea was it to have a super committee

  • "nobody is that stupid"

    Got to be true.... Think about it... Republicans are constructed for people with a certain attitude about life, Democrats are constructed for people with the opposite nature or views, yet both serve the same master.

  • Isn't the Super Committee by definition supposed to be The American People?

  • @CalistoCoon

    The Super Committee is suppose to be non-existent.

  • NICE JACKET ~!

  • There's Democrats in the age of Obama for ya.

  • Super Committee = Every Villain Is Lemons

  • I really, really wish your analysis was incorrect or flawed in some way. Unfortunately, there is no dought this will happen. You don't have to be psychic to predict the outcome and the detrimental results on the 99%. How do they live with themselves? I hope at least they are plagued with guilt; although I dought few lose any sleep.

  • Cenks laugh... gold.

  • Fuck S.S. I don't even want it. I just goes to old people.

  • The Republican motto: Whats mine is mine whats yours is mine. Capitalism at its best.

  • Cenk, we ought to ALL be outraged that our govt has come to this Super-Committee bullshit in the first place.

    NOBODY except the mega-corps and union bosses have a damn thing to gain from this nonsense. The rest of us continue to lose our asses, demsnakes and repubrats alike.

    And we'll continue to get more of the same until folks on BOTH SIDES can stop hurling childish insults, and start taking note of what we have in common and work together.

    Divide and Conquer. Don't you assholes read?

  • "super committee" - I've got an idea, of the people of the US

    fire all republicans and democrats, annihilate lobbying, cut non-essential discretionary spending, simplify tax code but leave rates the same, and replace all federal/state politicians with independent candidates.

    then we can talk about China and policies that reward businesses to stay in the US.

    Yay, all done.

  • and this super committee is unconstitutional. is'nt congress themselves supposed to be doing this job?

  • cenk needs to realise that there is no difference between republicans and democrats . both partys are bought by the same people...

  • @hellshade2 yeah, that's what frustrates me about tyt. The dems don't "cave", they agree on ridiculous policies.

    Reasonable ones are unheard of.

  • Cenk FTW

  • Of course!!!!!!! The Dems always buckle, because they really want to be a belt.

  • fuck the democrats.

  • Why don't they cut congress salary to 20,000 a year. Give themselves a 1 bedroom apartment with no amenities, and allow themselves 2 greyhound bus tickets a year to go home for Thanksgiving and Christmas?

  • If they take my Mother's SS and Medicare we ought to take to the streets and make OWS look like a fucking picnic. So fucking sick of this gangster government. We make Batista's Cuba look like Disneyland.

  • "defense industry"?...

  • America's soldiers get more guns and tanks and less financial and job security for when they get home...

    Anyone smell an eventual coup?

  • @Yamikaiba123 yup

  • @Yamikaiba123 One day. But it's too bad the right wingers are loaded up with guns and the 1% own the cops. Liberals are fucked no matter what happens. Maybe the military.... oh nevermind.

  • Why do modern people still believe they have a choice in Politics & Politicians?

    Didn't u get the memo, both Democrats & Republicans play for the same Team! Their opponents are the working class & the ignorant..

    The ONLY REAL CHOICE is the ONE that comes DIRECTLY from the PEOPLE...example would be OWS..Did politicians tell these people to protest, no they didn't hence the reason OWS is being met with such violence from the sanctioned army called the POLICE "FORCE"...Free your minds guys!

  • Comment removed

  • Cut the Pentagon budget in half. Problem solved.

  • Cenk. So correct and so hilarious as always.

  • We all need to vote in the presidential primaries, consider it a fuck you letter to the current administration. Pay close attention to who you a voting for in your local elections as well.

  • I am ready for a strong third party or the best bet a revolution.

  • The Dems do this,because,that is their role to give the american wealth away.

  • Viva La Revolución

  • Well i guess you should move to canada now :/.

  • If they cut SS we will give them hell. This Super Committee is anticonstitutional

  • 3:49 I laughed my balls off - Unfortunately, amidst the humor, he's absolutely right.

  • Let's just rename the Super committee the league of doom.

  • @robertrulebirtannia ahahahahaha

  • @robertrulebirtannia is it just me or does life in America is starting to feel like a really dark graphic novel.

  • @robertrulebirtannia

    That sounds like a death panel

  • @robertrulebirtannia or the League of Useless Usual's.

  • I was eating during the video and i almost choked and died because Cenk was so damn funny, sad thing is he is absolutley right, we know it,TYT knows it, congress knows it and Obama knows it.

  • If elections changed things, elections would be illegal.

    The banksters and the whore politicians know with OWS, that the gig is almost up & they are going for broke now. Problem is many Americans suffer from the normalcy bias and trust their government. Despite the fact we are killing thousand of brown skinned people across the globe because of a lie,many Americans think we are the good guys because our politicans wear flag pins.The Republic is dead.Stop arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

  • the reason Dems so often give in to the GOP side is simply because conservatives tend to know what reality is, Dems are blinded by foolish progressive views that cannot be sustained. You can only live in the Dark Side for so long before reality kicks your ass!

    Cenk should thank me for all this insight which he didn't learn at Law School taking stuff like "Ambulance Chasing 101"

  • we have Bussiness party w two fractions Republ. and Democr. Republ say, cut social spending Democrats ask how much. and then the drama begins bc Republicans say cut 100% but the Democrats say its crazy and wont agree to anything more then 98%. of course its common consensus we need to cut, only debating point is how much. Now, thats a level of sophistication and absence of choices that any totalitarian structures should take a note of.

  • and Cenk isn't running for president.... why...?

  • @random69ism you are so right about that.

  • @random69ism i dont believe in violence but i always carry a knife for self defence and if the situation calls for it ill use it...if they touch your money i give you permission to give them the Punishshot!

  • @punishshot if they touch social security then they are touching/taking our money...we pay into that our whole working lives, that is not their money to cut back on or use for anything. they should all be tried for fraud and a lot of em should be tried for treason and all of em should be dealt with with extreme prejudice as a warning to the next group that the people are not going to tolerate the kind of crap.

  • @random69ism do as you believe, reach for the stars, express your freedom, stand tall and proud as you turn America to what it used to be dont let them win...canada (i cant say all but the majority) supports OWS

  • @random69ism

    Start working out now, we need to start training!

  • We need to flush all the shit on capitol hill down the crapper where it belongs.

  • At some point we all have to say enough is enough. We either have to accept the truth of the reality of how our country really is or we all have to band together and impeach every last politician and said our voices loud and clear that what they are doing is not just immoral, not just illegal but treason. They ARE destroying our country from the inside out.

    ~love your country, fear your government

  • long live tyt.

  • I Just wonder how long it will take before people will start storming the congress and smash everything?

    i feel sad for the US :(

  • @DownLowProductions it shouldn't take long once everybody realizes what has been done to them

  • Correct! I knew they'd pull a Deadline Deal like they always do and claim they Saved us from a Catastrophe.

  • This is like the age old battle of assholes vs nice guys. Why do nice guys finish last? Because they always want to conform to the plans assholes have. Democrats its time to be assholes back and stand firm, stop being punk bitches.

  • if this government does not get fixed then there will be a revolution. i dont like it but every passing day the prospect seems more and more likeley.

  • In other news, shit turns out to stink...

  • No one is that mentally deficient lol

  • Buckled?? could you get it through your thick skull that the democrats aren't on your side anymore than the republicans. The longer liberals play this false dichotomy of Rep v Dem the more the people lose and the establishment wins.

  • @MrFreeCookie Did you even watch the video?

  • They're cuts in proposed increases, they're not real cuts, who gives a shit? They're not cutting anything in reality.

  • I'm ready to vote for the nuttiest Republican in the race. Bachman, Cain, Santorum, Gingrich or Perry, I don't care which one. I am just sick and tired of having a glimmer of hope for real change. Obama is NOT the answer.

    Things are going to have to get really bad before they get better.

  • @ 3:55, thank you Cenk. I needed that. Alot.

  • Motivational video in support of Occupy wallstreet, wolf-pac and blackthisout(dot)com

    /watch?v=7sgrN3rUrhE

  • Pretty sure subtitles are automatically transcribed by some google rogram.

  • omg fire the subtitler dude......it was so off....

  • system of a down

  • Also, how is it even legal for them to fuck with SS the way they are?

  • In other news: Sky still blue; Bears still shit in woods.

  • not knowing is killing me!

    the occupy protests are such and awesome start but where does it go from here? their still trying to fuck us, so what do we do??

  • Occupy THE WORLD - NOW! Greedy assholes are in power and need to BE REMOVED. Just DON"T let them BACK in power ever again.

  • Cenk, are you just trying to stir up a smelly pile of shit and make it smell stronger, this crap really smells. why not stir up a vid on massive debt relief coz this stuff you be talking bout goes no where.

  • OF COURSE it's a game. Those same assholes that are yelling at each other in public are drinking whiskey and smoking cigars shaking hands and laughing about how stupid the American Sheeple are in the back room. All the dummies out there need to wake up. Your "Promised One" "The Messiah" Emperor Obama is the biggest Cog in The Wheel on this one. He didn't deliver on ANY of his promises, and is even LESS transparent that Scumbag Bush. RON PAUL 2012, and A NEW CONGRESS TOO!!!!

  • Cenk is absolutely right. In fact, you can bet money that you'll hear the same phrase over and over again from the Dems after a shitty deal at the last minute as a supposed "crisis" looms:

    "We had no choice."

  • Pussies

  • The Super-committee is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

    The Super-committee is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

    The Super-committee is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

  • @RAMKING61 No, it's not.

  • @595o Google: Super Committee Unconstitutional

    You'll be reading for the next four hours.

  • @595o Yes it is. It's a complete joke that you would even say it's not.

  • @RKAddict101 OK, that's some argument.

  • fuck. the. u. s.

    revolution!

  • remember, there is only one political party in DC. it's the republicrats. That explains why nothing ever changes. Do the math.

  • this country is a joke !

  • what a super fail.

    [ VOTE INDEPENDENT! ] do it enough times and maybe we'll see the end of reps and dems.

  • The U.S. government is totally defunct.

    As long as there are people who believe in the American dream, the American dream is possible, but we can simply no longer delegate law-making responsibilities congress. Continuing to rely on Congress to make laws, the American dream is IMPOSSIBLE.

    If we want an America with true democracy, true free markets, and true representation with taxation, then we really need to take matters into our own hands. Just give me the word, and I'll revolt with you.

  • @RaminHAL9001 you need to be under the British crown again. royalty can't be bought out.

  • @RaminHAL9001 I give u one word Wolf-Pac

  • @RaminHAL9001 Don't wait for a word, get involved now.

  • Throw all the bastards out. We need to govern ourselves.  I don't need a government.

  • New suit, Cenk?

  • cenk ..you allowed to say ..i told you so

  • My god Obama is a joke...he showed so much promise during the elections, and he made a decent start. But now? My god, it's like he's a string puppet and the republicans are holding the strings. He dances to their every whim. Which is even more of a joke since the republicans are effing batshit crazy with their so-called 'plans'!

  • We're stuck with the same old a-holes for 2012. It's too late to change the equation now, we need to start laying the groundwork for the future.

  • Don't attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity...

    That's OK if it's once or twice the Democrats make themselves look stupid, but over and over again, it looks more and more like malice.

    Both parties are cut from the same cloth... Same stitching, same tailor. A tailor-made fuck you over suit.

  • @ShallowBeThyGames I like that. I'll have to remember that last bit. Thanks for making me laugh and want to punch something at the same time.

  • More money for military, wall street.

    No tax loopholes closed

    Social security nerfed.

  • Yep Cenk, you finally got it :) That's what Alex Jones has been saying for years, left-right paradigm is a facade designed to keep us divided and legislate whatever the establishment wants.

  • Get rid of this two-party system because if we continue down this road all the Democrats are going to be more conservative and the Republicans would finally come out to embrace fascism (then fascism would be considered by the "liberal" media as both mainstream and reasonable)!

  • @TheORGANEZIZED this happened 10 years ago. it's called the patriot act. where've you been?

  • @WikeddTung It actually happened longer ago and that date is November 4, 1980! When the American people decided that they wanted the rich to run this country and willing to receive whatever the owners deemed as sufficient. This time unlike in the1930's they're not going to let go off their hold of government!

  • @TheORGANEZIZED 2 party? theres only 1. the difference is how they go about jerking off corporations.

  • @MUTT1126 And each time they're more willing to do it without being ordered around like bitches!

  • @TheORGANEZIZED As a Canadian I warn you. Right now the conservative party has essentially ultimate power here. Mainly b.c. of vote splitting between the left wing parties. The conservatives won the majority of seats in the House but they only have 39.6% of the popular vote. Multi-Party systems are dangerous too.

  • @AestusL4 It's possible but when you a have a Multi-Party system there's more choices(as a democracy should be) and the true colors are more evident as the people would see that Fascist parties' economic policies aren't that different from Republican ideology and that the Communist Party is so radical that it makes the Democrats look like Mother Theresa! Also getting rid of the electoral college and implementing the popular vote for Presidential elections would make them more fair!

  • Between the end of 2001, when the country was in a recession, and the peak of the real estate bubble, er, economic expansion in 2007, the US economy performed worse than at any time since the end of World War II.The best-known result of the Bush tax cuts is that virtually all the benefits were conferred upon people who didn't need them at all and who didn't use the money to, say, create more jobs or pay their workers better.

  • Fuck the democrats and the republicans.Between 2001 and 2010, the Bush tax cuts added $2.6 trillion to the public debt, 50 percent of the total debt accrued during that time. Over the past 10 years, the country has spent more than $400 billion just servicing the debt created by the cuts. Far from paying for themselves with increased economic activity as promised, the tax cuts have depleted the public treasury. Tax collections have plunged to their lowest share of the economy in 60 years.

  • What I hate about you Cenk is that you have a 2 second memory. You'll forget this. In a couple of months you'll be calling them the worst negotiators again. Or you'll call them weak, or you'll call Obama weak....

    None of them are weak or stupid, they're intelligent and know how to get exactly what they want. For the love of God, don't AGAIN go back to saying that.

  • Why didn't Obama simply let the Bush taxcuts expire back in 2010? He could've used the anger of middle class to negotiate lower payroll taxes for them but keep the taxes to the wealthy at Clinton-era levels.

    This Administartion is such a fail. Why the f--k is this system so jacked up?

  • this sounds just like the nba and nfl negotiations. The players got more money (which they didn't need) and the owners give more money away.

  • super committee sucks ass, what a joke. they are just bought off by lobbyist and special interest groups. They will not fix anything for future of the USA, they goal is get to bend the average American over while tell them we got your back and looking out for you.

  • @Rotorzilla exactly

  • Like George Carlin said, we do not have choice. We have owners. They own this country. The politicians only make it look like we have choice when we don't. We have no choice. It is either bought politician one or bought politician two.

  • why does the description of what the democrats in the committe remind me of doctor nick from simpsons. only thing missing is one of them starting a interview with "hello everybody!"
