Jal seems to be catching on to the composition of the Trump party, which I wrote about here a month or two ago, where it's basically a Democratic party (all the members, including Trump, and all the supporters, originally were or wanted to be Democrats, and that Trump's party never really tried to be a traditional Republican party). Jcal said he's staying Independent, unlike the others on the All-In, because he will continue to criticize things he doesn't like about what Trump does. He likes 70% of what they're doing and doesn't like 30%, on human rights grounds. This is pretty correct. I think Sacks would have been about the same, if he hadn't joined the team, after which it was no longer possible to oppose anything.
Friedburg doesn't think everything the government does should be FOIAable (and recorded). Lol, he's so off despite being so smart on hard sciences. If you can decide what things go on the record and which not, within 5 minutes everything they just don't want to be public will fall into the ‘don’t record' category.
But again, Jcal is the lone voice when it comes to any opposition to anything that happens in the Trump party, and the lone voice in defense of human rights, journalism, etc.
‘I believe there is a sadistic nature to this administration, it is an achilles heel for them. And when you see them doing videos from these prisons and saying, “This is going to happen to you,” and this prison is known for torture, and this prison is known for the most abhorent issues in the world... and people care deeply in this country about human rights and process, and there is a Constitutional issue right now... Trump and this administartion is disobeying the court when they say say “Hey, let’s slow down here.” There is no cost ... in American sending these people to a weighstation, and investigating each of these cases to make sure we don't send the gay hairdresser to El Salvador, to another country to be tortured in prison, if that is in fact the case. And it is against all American principles to not have due process and have innocent people potentially go to jail."
Chamath seemed pretty OK and nonchalant with a 4 or 5% error rate (accidentally sentensing that amount of innocent people to get a safer country ‘like El Salvador’). Friedburg cares about the foundations of the US system, though, but was less reactionary/'passionate' than Jcal.
