What is Josh Barro’s Damage?

He seems like he is missing a chip. Like he can’t see what is directly in front of him. He has to pass every observation through some mental algorithm that will then analyze and spit out a random answer.

He also seems to jump around jobs a lot and fall off and on the radar.

Something is off about this person.

He is a gay conservative. That alone tells you he's not right.

by Anonymousreply 1July 31, 2020 2:04 AM

Sure, but...how does he look in a jockstrap?

by Anonymousreply 2July 31, 2020 2:09 AM

He's now a Democrat. He was a moderate, mostly fiscal, Republican until Trump. He's perhaps considered a "conservative Democrat" but thankfully they, and moderates, still have power in the Democratic Party. (Witness Biden's nomination.) I read his Twitter although I'm not on Twitter and agree with him most of the time.

If you want the votes of people like him, you need to listen to his views and compromise.

by Anonymousreply 3July 31, 2020 2:11 AM

I believe he does, R2.

by Anonymousreply 4July 31, 2020 2:12 AM

I follow him on Twitter. He's annoyingly inclined to "correct" things that are too liberal. I don't care that he's a centrist, but he never has the same energy in "correcting" things that are too conservative.

Short take: yes, there's something off about him.

by Anonymousreply 5July 31, 2020 2:17 AM

Yes something odd. And sexy. Very hot. It's what's between his ears I'm worried about.

by Anonymousreply 6July 31, 2020 2:35 AM

I've seen him say some dumb shit on MSNBC. I don't care much for him.

by Anonymousreply 7July 31, 2020 2:38 AM

He was raised a hardcore Republican.

He's gay, but used to be closeted and fat.

There's your answer!

by Anonymousreply 8July 31, 2020 2:44 AM

Example, OP? I like him... both from a mental and fuckability perspective.

by Anonymousreply 9July 31, 2020 6:16 AM

Here is an example:

“Okay, so normally I don't buy "Trump is trying to distract" claims, but this is Trump trying to create headlines about him...”

Why would he preface a statement this way. And he says this after even the Federalist came out against it, as if he is going out on some limb with that preface...

Besides, everybody knows that he is always trying to distract the news cycle. Everybody on earth knows that.

He is just plain weird. The guy is just plain weird.

by Anonymousreply 10July 31, 2020 6:26 AM

Well I think I see his point R10. People look for conspiracy theories like "Trump is trying to distract" when really I think Trump just says dumb shit a lot of the time because he's so impulsive. So he's saying "K I know it's usually BS, but for real this time."

by Anonymousreply 11July 31, 2020 6:30 AM

I will say I thought Josh's significant other was fuggo tho. I am cuter. Shame I left NYC...

Nobody is saying he isn’t sexy.

Just an odd duck.

“It’s all just an innocent disagreement” troll has arrived @ r14.

by Anonymousreply 16July 31, 2020 2:52 PM

He can't just be a competent, unbiased news reporter. That's boring and forgettable. So he needs a gimmick to get noticed.

This thread proves that his gimmick is working.

by Anonymousreply 17July 31, 2020 2:55 PM

He's not a reporter. That's not his job.

This is every self-labeled “centrist;” they’re all crypto-conservatives at best. Barro was a Republican until Trump was elected. He might be a Democrat now, but he’s still as conservative as ever.

by Anonymousreply 19July 31, 2020 3:05 PM

You can smell the stench of vodka coming off R14’s post.

by Anonymousreply 20July 31, 2020 3:06 PM

He retweets a lot of right wing people and opinions. Once a conservative always a conservative. I don’t buy his “transformation” into some bleeding heart liberal.

by Anonymousreply 21July 31, 2020 3:29 PM

R21 he never said he transformed into a liberal. His argument is that the Republican Party left him.

by Anonymousreply 22July 31, 2020 3:34 PM

He’s like a robot but a defective one.

“Conservatives” and “libertarians” were basically suckered into something like with the clams. They are essentially victims of brainwashing.

His Scruff profile says he’s a fun top and into a lot of fetishes.

Is OP Josh Barro's ex? He's okay, he may be conservative but at least he's not a Trumper. At least you could have a reasoned discussion with him about policy instead of QAnon garbage and conspiracy theories, which is what most conservatives still on the Trump train are into.

His hosting of LCRW's "Left, Right, and Center" podcast is excellent.

by Anonymousreply 30July 31, 2020 5:22 PM

Libertarianism is largely old fashioned market Republicanism without the racism and with respect for civil liberties and the rule of law. It would be a better world if we replaced the Republicans as the party of the center right. That's what I'm working forward. Someone has to be there to pick up the pieces when the GOP implodes.

by Anonymousreply 32July 31, 2020 5:33 PM

I find him off putting. Every time I see him I think "cute" and then I think "what the fuck is he saying?" I don't care for him at all and stopped following his Twitter feed.

Lol@R20!

by Anonymousreply 34July 31, 2020 6:59 PM

In practice, libertarianism is just more feed the rich nonsense. We need a period of real live leftism in this countries, like the 1930s through the 1950s, to get this country back to normal. The real good ole days meant unionization, a commitment to social security, the GI Bill (which given World War II pretty much extended to every family), that kind of thing. No more worrying that Jeff Bezos needs a tax cut. That's just some silly idiocy we can dispense with. An actually progressive tax rate. Some redistribution, not all, it's okay to have rich and poor in general, but not Gilded Age rich and poor.

by Anonymousreply 35July 31, 2020 7:05 PM

Libertarians are sad sacks. They got brainwashed by Ayn Rand.

They’re always suckers and usually fall for lots of cons. Not just the one.

by Anonymousreply 36July 31, 2020 7:11 PM

R35 I think most Republican voters (but not Republican politicians) would support all of that and more if we could just stop all the immigration. All of that stuff you mention was only possible because the country barely admitted any immigrants back then.

Heck, I would support Medicare for All in exchange for a complete 20 year shutdown of immigration.

by Anonymousreply 37July 31, 2020 7:15 PM

R30: The term is radio show. It's a show on the radio, the podcast is actually the radio showed recorded for download at your convenience. I find Josh too esoteric in his right wing mannerisms. All of the comments in this thread saying "what did he just say?" are spot on. Too cute by half is the term that probably best describes him.

R31: I have no respect for any third party or its supporters until you people get on board with some of proportional representation. Until you all do that, there will only be two parties that can win anything in this country.

by Anonymousreply 38July 31, 2020 7:38 PM

His damage is probably the damage that all conservatives have: the belief that the people who have suffered most in the past few decades are the rich. The stupid idea that what we need to do is worry first and foremost about whether the rich are happy, with their tax rate and everything else, and then we can focus on other things. This is a top heavy economy with a ridiculous income distribution. That is what needs to stop. When Josh Barro gets that he will finally become part of the solution.

It's funny. I lead this very boring, very monogamous life, and yet, I don't think monogamy is some ideal that everyone has to live up to. It's worked out fine for me, but I truly don't care if it works out for anyone else. You need to have lots of sex with lot of other guys? Well, okay, do that.

by Anonymousreply 48July 31, 2020 9:22 PM

When he's on Scruff is he just looking for himself? Or for him and his husband?

Is he old enough to have been around during Reagan? I thought he was a 30-something millennial.

by Anonymousreply 52August 1, 2020 1:03 AM

no, but he lives in that mindset r52. The mindset that Reagan was perfect and Trump is some terrible deviation. That's what I meant. Everyone needs to get that Reagan was the start of the suck.

Conservatism is a mental illness and libertarianism is a personality disorder. These people are not normal and can’t be trusted or taken seriously.

I ate his ass one night (when he and the bf were having some “time off”)—and he came without touching himself. Oh, he was wearing a jockstrap.

by Anonymousreply 65August 6, 2020 12:37 PM

I was in Fire Island last weekend and saw him on the Grid. He viewed me but that's it. One of his pics is him in a football uniform so I guess he's into gear? One more pic is shirtless and he's doing the double-gun pose. He's hot. Hairy, but not overly. Some fat rolls but that's ok. I like that in a man.

Pity about the brain and the talking.
