Oh dear. Watching the New Hampshire returns, the lads do a spot-on impression of the good old, liquor-soaked days of 2016 Fifth Column and get pretty deep in their cups…so yeah, sorry about this one.

* Trump wins

* Cutting from Trump’s dumb speech

* 20 percent for Dean Phillips

* This is, in fact, democracy

* No one says anything on cable news

* The speeches

* The overstatement machine

* Moralism doesn’t work

* A brave defense of Iran-backed Islamism

* A sort of drunken rant about hipster Houthis

* The New York Times on haaaazaaaaaa

* It all falls apart…something about Tipper Gore, Jello Biafra, and covering every election but the U.S. one
