> Imago Stephen Miller

CR

I want to defend Miller’s classmates, but having met some of them, no. Fuck ‘em. But anyway, MAGA genuinely believes in the Epstein thing. They’re right for the wrong reasons (sadism, paternalistic misogyny, etc.) but they want these elites strung up by their balls. But there’s no chance Trump would ever do anything for the reason Biden wouldn’t have if he were cognizant for a moment. It implicates everyone through sex, money laundering, political influence, and business dealings in, oddly enough, the Democrats’ biggest bases until they saw he writing on the wall last year: Wall Street and Silicon Valley. At this point, everyone is tainted except space cadets like MTG and Massie and Ro (broken clock, etc) and the best anyone can hope for is what Tim Dillon said last week: Pick your pe**. But most of MAGA isn’t going to let this go. They will give up on Trump between this and him not going nuclear on immigrants. And we just end up in the same fucking perpetual shitstorm. But at least this time we are balls deep into a recession that will maybe end and rebound by the end of next year.

great news about the essay collection! edit: having a nice time imagining Mark cranking New Model Army's "Vengeance" on headphones while staring grimly into the back yard edit 2: that Stephen Miller clip makes my brain feel like a neutron star

Enoch

John and Mark, watch Pom Poko

Thomas Massie has distinguished himself as a decent politician with genuine principles. And he's not crazy. I'd at least put him one tier above MTG.

Lojban Chauvinist

Thomas Massie has distinguished himself as a decent politician with genuine principles, regarding Ukraine, Israel and Iran. Vastly preferable to MTG. Edit: I don't know Ro Khanna, but he seems like a non-crank, decent politician too.

GoyBulletStopper

You're really going to talk all that Shi* about Opossums? Subscription cancelled

Avtomatt

Both he and Rand Paul are both still Republicans. Don't believe for a moment that they're secretly anti-imperialists.

Joe S.

I hate it when I'm out here Finlandizing and Biden comes along trying to NATOize me, such a bummer.

Raymond Yukich

Ben Shapiro is also from the Westside of LA.

The episode title activated my bipolar

It's hard to imagine an American politician really being anti-imperialist in the sense that I think you mean

.

Please stop calling politicians like Thomas Massie “decent” they are anarcho-libertarian fascists who want to kill tens of millions through social murder. I get things are so insane that people like him seem decent. He’s not. He’s a psychopath in different ways than what we are seeing and feeling. https://youtu.be/hdI578k2Sy8?si=0uhTUQAL7Rfs8xWv Different parts of the U.S. government will use different language and wants from Thomas massie to Donald Trump to Joe Biden to even Bernie sanders and AOC to obfuscate the reality of capitalism and even a chance at a different future. None of these people I mentioned above genuinely want that in the states or worldwide. They are the machine.

wonderful movie, completely different animals: tanuki ("raccoon dogs") are vuplini (canidae), related to foxes and dogs, and raccoons are procyonids (arctoidea), related to skunks and badgers and closer to both seals and bears than to tanuki.

Bil

I’m from Massie’s district and I promise he’s a white supremacist devil.

Enoch

I know that, but it won't stop me from taking advantage of the popular confusion on that front for pitching people watch Pom Poko.

Winston Reid

So is Andrew Breitbart. Steve Bannon lived in Santa Monica for many years and ran Breitbart News from a nondescript office building in Brentwood, where it might still be based.

Christopher Small

When I saw that video of Steven Miller, I was kind of surprised to realize he was in high school in 2003. Then I remembered that Reinhard Heydrich was 38 when he died, because so much of fascist regimes are just mediocre young men who would be complete failures if they weren't rocketed to the top for their careerist willingness to be monsters.

HP

Neither here nor there, but John’s line “I used to go to Yahoo news just to see what Trump voters thought” is hilariously Proustian

CR

Hence “waffentwerpen”

CR

Epstein probably had more dirt on DT’s money laundering than anything sexual. Which also made me wonder for a second why no one had dug into his very obvious money laundering operations, but then it turns into the Epstein thing again where exposing him means exposing everyone else.

Schaeffer Mallory

It's hilarious that yahoo news is literally where the yahoos get their news

Jeremy

Face fascists lmao

IRIDYSCENZIA

Keep doing the things you love! ❤️✨️

Love raccoons! Stop the slander!

Lojban Chauvinist

Stephen Miller was "based" before the word existed, it seems

GC

fair enough!

jack flowers

Not listening to this possum slander

Tyler Berglund

“The Brandonization of Trump” is absolutely top tier ❤️

Drew Gremel

The Stephen Miller clip is pretty standard rhetoric for Americans in 2003. I heard stuff like that all the time from my nice, churchgoing neighbors back then

In my experience, Americans' view of torture in the War on Terror era was informed by the TV show 24. That made it cool, as long as a cool guy (or gal) was doing it for an important reason and they felt bad about it afterwards. In my social circles, once the news about Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo broke, anyone who was pro-torture stopped talking about it. There just wasn't any credible excuse for those kinds of abuses, and they weren't even cool - I remember the photos of uniformed American troops with shit-eating grins standing around some guy handcuffed to a chair with a hood over his head; very lame and very nauseating. The liberals I know all really wanted and expected Obama to close Gitmo and other torture centers. The conservative take on Fox was basically "Only pussies don't torture people." I will say, fuck that dead POS John McCain. I wish the North Vietnamese had killed him instead of shipping his ass back here. The media loved fellating him over his supposed opposition to torture, and it's pure BS. In the War on Terror the GOP was universally understood to be the pro-torture party, and any noises he made to the contrary while still being one of their leaders were meaningless.

Doug Cartel

Skinhead Steve never joined the military did he

Doug Cartel

Oh man Huckabee LOVES ethnic disses. Dude's brain would explode if he went on Chinese Instagram and saw all the people over there who own dogs as pets, he can't understand it

Doug Cartel

'The Base' are run by feds if memory serves so anything they do is literally just state terrorism

CR

Watch out for the Kodak cougar, Mark

Mark Ames

Demonic domestic politics (aside from privacy), but he's usually right on foreign policy and not mealy-mouthed about it like the few progs critical of the empire (Tlaib excepted)

Mark Ames

Gah! I was trying to make the case for possums via my own transformation. Didn't like them when I was younger, but my wife opened my eyes.

Mark Ames

really miss that Matt.

GoyBulletStopper

The only marsupial in north America. They are beautiful, prehensile tail and all. And they help reduce tick populations dramatically. Please get Kevork Almassian on to talk about west asia.

Bil

Sure but thats not getting anyone anywhere. If he actually posed a threat to imperial outcomes he would be dealt with
