Snowden/Wiki-Assange/Putin/Trump and all their NY-Miami tentacles are on the same side. Mooch sees this as lower middle class against the country we knew before Trump took office. He thinks Trump is helping those people. Boy are they in for a surprise, if they ever wake up.

Mooch is angry, nasty, argumentative. David Frum was clearly irked, annoyed, irritated by Mooch's constant jabs and put downs.

Richard Haas by the way, is the 18 year president of Council on Foreign Relations. Not sure why such an elite is on this show. Only Frum and Haas belong in the same room.

And they did most of talking. I know that The Mooch was there for entertainment value, but he sure hasn't improved since the last time we saw him. And I agree about Richard Haass, it's like they came from different planets.

That Trump is still pushing that ridiculous wall thing is right near the top of his stupidest lies. And nobody can take these lies down like Bill Maher - if only The Mooch would let him get a word in...
