I had an hilarious interaction yesterday. I’m out driving and I’m stopped at a red light waiting to turn left. A car pulls up beside me and then stops one car length ahead of me. It was festooned with MAGA bumper stickers complete with an oversized Trump head decal in the side window. For no other reason than to entertain myself, I pointed at it and started cackling with hysterical laughter, pounding the steering wheel, mock losing my breath … again, just to make myself giggle. I look over to the car directly behind him, even with me, and the guy is smiling his ass off watching me flip out. The second we locked eyes we both started actually cracking up hysterically. Sitting there at t red light, me and my brother from another car, sharing a moment. It was nice. ---

… “my brother from another motor” was RIGHT THERE! I’ve had that happen a couple of times in the past decade myself. ---

In his quest to point out how low Trump is, he’s stooped to Trump’s level of rhetoric. It really detracts from how much I can enjoy his videos. His reporting is still very good, but his constant refrains of “lunatic” and “vile piece of trash” make it hard to watch a video through to completion. ---

His reporting is still very good, but his constant refrains of “lunatic” and “vile piece of trash” make it hard to watch a video through to completion. Watched for first time, just now, and I see what you mean. I could get only four minutes into that video, though, not because of Ben but when Laura Ingraham at the four minute mark deadpanned about how Trump has been doing such an excellent job in Iran. That shit isn’t good for one’s brain. ---

What “accent” does he have? He pronounces things in the oddest way. “It is ab-sir” 12 seconds in. So freaking odd. And there are plenty of other oddities in that short clip. ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > What “accent” does he have? He pronounces things in the oddest way. Some manner of affectation, I’d bet, in the pronunciation of certain words; he also pronounces “doctrine” as “dockshin.” He was born and raised in southern California, and went to college at Duke in North Carolina. Most of his speaking sounds like a relatively neutral American accent, save for those odd pronunciations. ---
