Podcast: Sefton and CBD agree about Trump's silly $5k checks, Islam is an existential evil, Ukraine is a mess, and more!

As Kash Patel takes over as FBI head, unpardoned election-rigger Peter Strzok deletes his entire twitter history
My speculation: what he's really deleting are his DMs, which probably feature a fair few Deep State operatives coordinating with him. Don't worry, Elon Musk will resurrect those DMs.
Dick Durbin says Patel is a rilly bad guy, you guys

I prefer the heat. I can always wear shorts and flip-flops if it gets hot. But when it's below freezing it's not like I can just put pants on.

More fraudulent journalism at CBS: 60 Minutes interviewed two people who lost their jobs as a result of DOGE overhauling USAID. Kristina Drye & Adam Dubard emoted on behalf of thousands of USAID employees who have been terminated, but neither Kristina nor Adam was actually an employee of USAID. Clever word parsing and dishonest editing conveyed otherwise. [Buck]

Axios focus group: 11 out of 11 swing voters support Trump and Musk's actions, particularly their cuts to the federal budget
Axios notes that voters aren't buying the newest Dem op, which claims that the 100-billionaire Musk spent millions to get Trump elected so that he could raid the Social Security office and steal $700 checks from grandmas. For some reason!

Trump to rude witchface c**t Kaitlin Collins: "Excuse me, we haven't asked you to speak yet"
Update: Trump pummels a female CNN reporter who sounds like Barbra-Streisand-nosed Kaitlin Collins
Her "question" -- her declaration thinly disguised as a question -- is that Russia could just withdraw its troops from Ukraine, so why do we need peace negotiations? Well, Genius, because armies that are winning do not just walk away without getting the losing army to give them something. It's so f***ing stupid. I think they're all autistic.

JOE ROGAN: "People are worried that Elon is going to steal everyone's money. He has $400B. Elon's not going to steal your money. That's not what he's doing. He's a super genius that has been f**ked with. When you've been f**ked with by these nitwits that hide behind 3-letter agencies, and you're dealing with one of the smartest people alive helping Donald Trump get into office and find out what corruption is really going on, you f**ked up.

You f**ked up and picked the wrong psychopath on the spectrum. He's going to hunt you down and find out what's going on, and that's good for everybody. That's how you should be looking at this, like 'Wow, we have a brilliant mind examining these really corrupt and goofy systems and bringing in a bunch of psychopath wizards."

Who & what? An anthropological epidemiologist? A renowned authority on the history of cultures, a synthesizer of the magnitude of Max Weber, a Joachim Wach, a Sir James Frazer, an Arnold Toynbee? "Actually, she was just another scribbler who spent her life signing up for protest meetings & lumbering to the podium encumbered by her prose style, which had a handicapped sticker valid at Partisan Review. Perhaps she was exceptionally hell-bent on proving Marshall McLuhan's line about indignation endowing the idiot with dignity, but otherwise she was just a typical American intellectual of the post-World War II period." Heh. The link goes to yet another key endorsement for Kerry-- permanent feminist victim and anti-porn nutball Andrea Dworkin. posted by Ace at 01:57 PM Comments indignation endowing the idiot with dignity I like that. Posted by: Scout on November 2, 2004 02:05 PM I encourage anybody to go to Amazon and read an excerpt from any of her books. Her prose is cumbersome and overworked. The literary equivalent of turning paint into mud by not knowing when to stop. Bleah. Posted by: lauraw on November 2, 2004 02:17 PM Here's Wolfe on Chomsky: "Having the faintest notion of what you were talking about was irrelevent. Any scholar or scientist who merely possessed profound knowledge in his own field did not qualify as an intellectual. "The prime example was Chomsky, a brilliant linguist who figured out that language is a structure built into the central nervous system of Homo sapiens. But Chomsky was not known as an intellectual until he denounced the Vietnam War, something he knew absolutely nothing about - thereby qualifying for his new eminence."
