Movies are Back! And we start with a brief discussion of Venom 2: Return of Goop. Then, Felix is joined by WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson to discuss a new report from Yahoo News that details the CIA’s plots to kidnap or kill Julian Assange while he was sheltered in London’s Ecuadorian embassy. They discuss the obsession with revenge on Assange and WikiLeaks under Mike Pompeo, the possibility of real justice for Assange, and some slivers of hope in the future of the WikiLeaks project. Then, to finish up the ep, we have a reading series from Maureen Dowd’s latest column on that kooky, adorkable senator who seems to love everyone’s hate, Kyrsten Sinema.

Sinema's the most obvious psychopath in government. As a psychologically healthy person, you don't just go from freegan anti-war Green to rightwing Dem without a profound ideological conversion. With psychopathy, you can. You lust for power and prestige, so in college you adopt the views that will get you influence among your peers. Then you run for Congress as a Green, and you realize that is ineffectual as a means of gaining power in politics. So you swap your ideology for center-right oligarch servitude, and gain power. That's textbook psychopath behavior - plus the glib charm and amorality helps in politics. If she weren't a psychopath, she'd have written books and gone on a speaking tour describing how the scales fell from her eyes, and rejected leftwing ideology.

joschka fischer went from lending his car to Red Army Faction gun runners to getting the Germans to send troops to back the Afghanistan invasion as foreign minister. Speaking as a Green she's on a well-worn path.

There was an item a few years ago in a profile about how much Sinema loved calling donors (a task that most members of Congress hate doing). The other side of this is that, even if she loses her seat, she is putting herself in a position to make seven to eight figures pretty quickly. She is potentially saving pharma interests alone billions of dollars. The incentive structure in our system is completely screwed up in this way. The big difference between Sinema and other "moderates" is that they tend to be a lot more subtle about catering to wealthy interests. Ultimately, the responsibility rests with the Dem leadership. They actively recruited her, along with a bunch of other so-called "moderates".

"One of the only movies you can see with a story by Tom Hardy credit...and you can tell" He was a co-writer on Taboo and that rocked

Zach Pierce

GODDAMN FELIX SAY “SPOILERS” PLEASE YOU COCKY JERK. SO YOU JUST BLURT OUT THAT VENOM WINS? JFC DOOD

Zach Pierce

Wait, Sopranos related comment here: re: Tom Hardy in bad roles… did anyone here like “The Drop” with James Gandolfini? I liked it as a subtle mob film

Blake Patraw

it's almost like we should give statehood to dc and pr and then we wouldn't have this problem with manchin and sinema

Gengeros

It’s almost like us capitalist state is the dictatorship of capitalists and we need a protracted people’s war to overthrow it

Josephus Franks

Did Fischer at least explain her ideological conversion?

IHaveHemorrhoids

Solidarity for all the homies getting charged with weed crimes in 2021 Money grabbing middle American fucks, these people This Chapo will help

Trout Mask Original

I was bummed (but not surprised) when Taboo was non-renewed. Gritty, volent prestige show about the evil doings of the East India Company... what's not to like?

Chetzmom

Agree that Sinema is a psychopath 100%. Her psycho-drug of choice appears to be attention, with money being a sidecar. It's too bad her jam isn't Pissing off the Powerful for Good, instead of just Attention Whore, Good or Bad. Her willingness to say "NO" could have made her a Progressive Champion, but instead she's just a kaleidoscope of spotlight grabs, that'll pay off big in lobbyist bank. Sounds a lot like AOC without the stone cold ovaries to get it done.

Mr. Lobotomy

I think the two-party system needs the Old Yeller treatment, it'll be merciful and it's necessary (parody in the game)

Seph

The whole planning Assange’s assassination thing is what? They just talked about it and planned it? The US government planning to murder someone they don’t like?? It just seems obvious, I assumed they had plans to kill Assange.

Greg Forsyth

I feel like I stopped caring about what happens to Julian Assange years ago.

Mark B

It's the theme song to the sitcom New Girl.

ANDR0M

Will sounds like he took a bump at the begining

Lucas Potter VII

Never woulda guessed that Venom wins at the end of a Venom movie

WarOn WarOff

Who's That Girl Walkin' Through the Kitchen at the Ambassador Hotel?

Dick Van Sexel

The peoples elbow needs to make a comeback. Kick their roody-poo capitalist asses

Andrew Kristel

Look I'll say this: (SPOILERS) In the comics Carnage does win. Venom has to seek out Spider-Man for an unlikely allyship. So in a way it would have made sense to have Venom kind of lose this round and win next time with Spidey's help.

Andrew Kristel

Fuck yeah, bro. See if you can hit your mouth with it.

J P 3

Puerto Rico might cancel out DC in partisan terms. I think we should split Texas into 4 states per the rules that allowed it to become a state. If the split is done the "right way" the Dems would net +4. Of course, the Dems would still stink.

Vincent Utah

Felix, you have no idea how much Scott Pilgrim vs. the World influenced Utah Mormon millennial men. Hot pixie dream girl is the default preference.

Blake Patraw

i thought pr was overwhelmingly blue am i wrong ? i definitely could be idk

Shadowil

That was the most boring interview ever and Will is clearly on cocaine

Besand

My HeiNetwork username is On_Sinema; I feel personally connected to this episode 🫂

Dr Nermal Funkenstein

Its unfortunate that guy was dull as dirt to listen to because the I'm super interested in the content. Are there transcripts?

Lesley Anne Noelle

Let’s ALL give Krysten Sinema the THUMBS down sign, and do a little enthusiastic …curtsy (or whatever the fuck that was-?!) !!!

Lesley Anne Noelle

IATSE members are on strike, strike, strike, as streaming services as production companies have been ripping off key grips to prop managers!! ✊🏾#SupportStikers

Lesley Anne Noelle

SAMS are what👉🏾Julian Assange has been talking about since he first entered the Ecuadorian Embassy. #FreeJulian Yesterday !!

i love him for both

Joshua Baker

The way politics are going Sinema could be running for President in 2024 against Trump and all the Libs will scream it’s the most consequential election of our lifetime vote blue no matter who

Of course

Where is AMBER? I just carved her name into my eye to prove my love! (Platonically.)

cwen

They don't have the balls to strike or they would've walked out by now. What are they going to wait until December when everything shuts down?

Hector Jaime

I do find that Kirsten Sinema gets discussed primarily outside of the context of Arizona culture and politics. People say she’s not doing right by her constituents, but they forget that many republicans and “moderates” voted for her. Us Zonies are not prone to grandstanding or confrontation, so her passive aggressive style fits perfectly.

Scot Forsythe

Yaas Felix everyone subs to hbo max to understand the easter eggs while they struggle to spread cold butter on bread and pronounce afghanistan “owofgoneistawn”

Jared Adams

Sinema was a special type of GenX woman who was an extreme try-hard who believes her life is a multimedia experience that everyone wants to be a part of. See also Xeni Jardin.

Jim Hepburn

Loved the idea that Sinema is basically the villain of her own reality show and LOVES IT.

Blake Patraw

i hit up the road or I had a curb or something because my car is fine but the third like the driving front wheel was completely destroyed

Blake Patraw
