Whenever I hear a regular American try to strengthen their point about our current state by using the buzzwords slavery, Nazi or communist I automatically disregard whatever they say after that.
Those three terms carry a lot of weight in the history of our world and using them to refer to stuff that's happening in modern-day US is kind of demeaning their significance in history.

Okay, I sound like a broken record and I wanted to start a thread just about Cuomo but that seems kind of political, so I'm just going to keep going with my rant here.
I love this dude and the way my opinion of him has done a complete 180 in the span of like 2 weeks is shocking to me.
I mean you all know what side I'm on and I know what side all of you guys are on and we all know the Cuomo family and what side they're on... But this new non-cnn Cuomo is freaking awesome. I mean he's clearly still on the side he's on but he's not a dick about it and he goes on these monologues explaining like hey I think this but I understand why other people think this and he makes like a shit ton of sense.
So he has two outlets right now as far as I can tell, he's got news Nation where he's a normal news man. He wears a suit and everything and does real news and interviews, but it's opinion news the same way Jake tapper or Anderson Cooper does news.
Then he's got a podcast where he wears a t-shirt Which by the way is way too tight because he likes showing off his guns and got to give him credit. The dude's probably pushing 60 and he's got guns... But it's just him and a producer and they just talk the whole time and mostly it's just Cuomo ranting for an hour. But his rants make a ton of sense and he talks like a normal guy. Not like some stuffy newsman. I don't know. This guy seems like someone I'd like to hang out with. Basically, it'd be super fun to talk politics with him while watching a football game or whatever.
The podcast is called the Chris Cuomo Project... I've probably listened to 6 hours of this dude in the past 2 weeks. He's like my go-to newsman now. He's every bit as passionate as a Tucker or a Maddow But doesn't come off like a partisan dick the way those two do.

They had a running joke about Anderson Cooper when he did those on-scene reports: the worse the disaster, the tighter the t-shirt.
Doesn't Anderson have that one clip of like a flood where he's up to his waist and then right behind him somebody's like ankle, deep walking past?
There's something about Cooper that just makes him look trustworthy. I don't love Anderson's show because it's very similar to Cuomo's show when he was on CNN...like they're not straight up partisan like Joy, Reid or Sean hannity but that's almost worse cause they're trying to be Walter Cronkite, but you can clearly tell they lean hard to one side.
Whereas new Cuomo straight up tells you how he leans But seems genuinely interested in understanding the other side respectfully and then either argues against it or is willing to accept it as good logic.

Found it. Anderson's in waste deep water but a dog is only in ankle deep water 4 ft in front of him hahahaha.
During Anderson's report on the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, he pointed out that there was a lot of deep water but it was quite variable. He also said if he had taken two steps backwards, he would have been in water up to his neck. Several websites posted some of the video and erroneously claimed it was during the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. Anderson debunked the false claim that he was faking the depth of the floodwaters:

Yeah I saw that clip before I posted the one above but it's like standing in the deep end of the shallow end of a pool. He clearly chose to stand in the deeper area because it was better on camera.
Think back to the earliest days of the pandemic, when TV news show ratings must have been through the roof because Covid related news was almost must see TV, that’s mostly when I watched Cuomo’s program.
His brother would have these morning press conferences, which fascinated me for some reason. Crazy times.
