UNLOCKED: Though not a fan of trump but I kiss his both hands for making that happen
Originally Aired: January 10th 2020 Hey Everyone. Alex is on vacation the next two weeks because he's getting married. Premium episodes will release uninterrupted. I don't remember all of what this episode was about because I was working 14 hour days through covid and the only description I wrote is "It's the Iran episode" Get a bonus episode every week by signing up at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult for only $5/month Music: Trial - War By Other Means
The liberals are destroying California and conservative humor gone away.
Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist voyage today.
So stay tuned, we're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
it's not beautiful when you go across that border but stay tuned guys we'll show you exactly what uh I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
Iran is responsible.
We all know that, just intrinsically.
They.
And they could refer to anybody, you know?
It's just they over there, there could be anywhere, are responsible for all of our foreign entanglements, all of our misadventures overseas.
God, I wish they would stop making us do it.
We're documenting it, though.
So what's up, Patreon?
Hey, thanks for supporting the show, as always.
Really appreciate it.
You may have noticed there's no free episodes right now.
It's because my life is a nightmare at the moment.
Not just for geopolitical reasons, existential reasons, but for economic, work-related reasons.
I may brag about being part of a union and getting to tell my boss to fuck off as long as there aren't any witnesses.
But I still have to work when they tell me to work.
And that, for this week, has meant a series of 14-hour days.
14 and 13-hour days.
It's been pretty...
holidays are over, you should be at least not having the...
Yeah, we don't have any seasonal help anymore.
That's why.
The season's over.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And like, that's what I'm saying.
It's weird that it's lasting so long, but I really think that's just, you know, that's just the byproduct of, you know, Amazon sales on Christmas still going through and people still buying things with gift cards and just the vicious cycle of capitalism slowly killing you.
I wish Trump wasn't so good for the freaking economy.
FedEx also just dropped Amazon.
Like before Christmas, they dropped Amazon.
They told Amazon to fuck off.
And so we, dutifully, the capitalist pigs that UPS is agreed to pick up the slack.
So that's probably a factor as well.
We're just happily doing Amazon's bidding until they can afford to stop using us altogether once they've developed their fleet, which won't be for, I don't know, a decade, but still.
Yeah, and it's really embarrassing because, like I said, I had Tuesday was a 14-hour day.
Wednesday was only 13 hours.
But Tuesday, I actually went over 14 hours by nine minutes.
I worked 14 hours and nine minutes, which is technically illegal.
It's illegal for me as a professional driver to work more than 14 hours.
So I literally broke the law to work more.
And I feel just like extremely embarrassed.
I feel like a terrible leftist.
I'm such a bad leftist, I shouldn't even have a podcast.
I don't even deserve to have a podcast.
You just got to go commit some other crimes now to balance that out.
Some like better crimes.
Yeah, commit some crimes against my employer.
Well, I mean, who's to say I don't do that pretty frequently?
Anyway, so okay.
Now we're even UPS.
You're going to sell some socks on eBay.
You're going to sell some UPS socks on eBay and really stick it to them.
Yeah, I'll donate my uniforms to the goodwill.
They'll do that.
Yeah, no.
Isn't that like the most mark-ass shit?
Like breaking the law for your job?
Yeah.
Pretty embarrassing.
Yeah, it really sucks.
I was just adding insult to injury.
But I feel like I've...
Is that...
Is that nine minutes really like...
Yeah, I got paid time and a half.
I mean, no, it's not worth it.
It should be like.
It's a double time of nine minutes.
It should be like triple time.
Yeah.
I could get fined for those nine minutes, technically.
I don't think.
That sucks so bad.
Like, you can get fined?
I hope not.
Yeah, no, I mean, they tell you it's your responsibility.
I just, I've never gone over 14 hours.
I've always gone up against 14 hours.
And so I, like, I've never had to deal with the fallout of it.
So now I know better.
Jeez.
All right.
Anyway, we got just a wonderful, happy episode for everybody today.
Because now that the Iran emergency has passed, we can just look back and laugh at everybody's reaction to the impending war with Iran, right?
I mean, we're all at it.
We're in the clear right now, right?
Trump gave that speech and he was like, oh, Iran, they stood down.
We scared Iran.
There's not going to be any war.
I'm actually not a psychopath.
And we all believe him, folks.
We all take him at his word that there won't be a, quote, war, despite the fact that I think we like sent 2,000 troops over there, right?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Do you think those troops are coming home anytime?
Troops are like a gun.
No, but troops are like a gun.
It's better to have it and need it than to not have it, you know, to need it and not have it, you know?
Yeah, troops are like, they go over there just in case we need a gun.
Yeah, troops are like a gun.
You can pull it out and point it at somebody without the intention of using it.
That's how a gun works.
That's how you should act with the world's largest military.
And I'm sure that's how they will act.
They're just doing it, you know, to just waving a gun in Iran's face to get him to back away.
But I don't know.
This was like pretty fucking depressing for me, for a lot of people I know, just in my feed, like, oh, it's Iraq all over again.
Now people are like, you know, I wouldn't say being contrarian about it, but I think people are like being sensibly pushing back against the comparison between the run-up to the Iraq war and this most recent spate of jingoism and like violent nationalism and saber rattling.
I think people probably are in like people right now are much less susceptible to a full-scale war in the Middle East, another one.
But I mean, like, what's the difference?
You know, what's what would be the difference between a full-scale war in the Middle East and what we've been doing in the Middle East?
You know, we're just adding another country to that list of, you know, conflicts that we've been engaged in for 16 years now.
Well, 17. Yeah, this is just an extension of what's been going on for so long.
It's just like, it's just making things worse, but like to the point where it's a little more visible because it is a whole new country that we're expanding this into.
but it does feel so much worse.
And it's an actual...
Yeah, and it...
Yeah.
No, go ahead.
No, you're fine.
It's an actual country, too.
That's the obvious difference, is that we're not fighting a terrorist cell or a group of radicals just within the borders of a country.
This would be going up against an actual country with an actual military, with actual near-nuclear capabilities.
So yeah, it would be very different.
And it's just have to fucking wait and see, basically, because who the fuck knows what this maniac is going to do next?
Who knows what Iran feels they have to do next?
Yeah.
It's just a serious fucking can of worms because those folks don't like us very much for good reason, you know?
Yeah.
It's a good reason.
It's possible that a lot of the people in that country now feel as strongly about engaging in a conflict with us that the leadership does.
Because I think that that's the thing is that for a while, the citizenry of Iran favored a more diplomatic relationship with the U.S. And that's one of the reasons we were able to engage in the nuclear treaty with them.
And we just went ahead and smacked him in the face for that effort a couple times.
A couple times.
I think one of the interesting things just, I don't know, I'm so enmeshed in these right-wing spaces for this show that it feels like Iraq to me because I just see this same dog-brained, pig-headed arguments of, oh, you don't want to go to war with Iran.
Well, you're a traitor.
Like, I see that argument a lot, and I see it with like 10,000 likes, 30,000 reactions, you know, and it's slightly demoralizing because I've talked about how the Trump era reminds me of the Bush era on the show.
It's just like this, it's popular or at least mainstream to be very stupid again.
Like you can be very stupid with impunity now the way you could be.
And maybe that's always been the case for humanity.
But to be very loudly very stupid is it's in fashion again.
And this is like just, you know, a concentrated dosage of that.
This like incredible stupidity with the right-wing attitude towards a near-nuclear power in the Middle East, a hyper-militarized country that, like I saw a meme of a, you know, a impoverished Arab, you know, I realize that Iranians are Persian, but this meme didn't know that.
An impoverished person in the Middle East, like playing with a toy, like ready, you know, like a small car you would sit in as a toy, but it was shaped like an airplane.
And it said, Iran readying their air force for the U.S. And it was just like, you, you don't know at all anything.
Yeah, you know, they have an actual air force, right?
Like they have a lot of the same planes.
Yeah, it's like, it's, yeah, that's, what's like you said, what's funny about that is this, like, um, this cocky enthusiasm that people are showing.
You know, these people think like, oh, cool, like, we're, we're going to win the pissing contest because we have, like, the best dicks.
Yeah.
And I don't know where they're getting, they're only getting it from this, like, sense of nationalism, because it's not like, you know, the Bush era where a lot of that was fueled by 9-11, you know, which was like, we had this righteous thing where people were like, oh, we got to defend ourselves from this again.
Yeah.
Didn't really matter where we went.
We just had to kill people that look like people that did it.
They had to do something.
This time, it's like the only, they're getting it all from nationalism.
You know, they're just getting it all from this sense of like, we're the best.
Yeah, and it's definitely like we need a win.
It's definitely like, oh, Obama was, you know, in charge for eight years, and all we got out of it was like three or four international treaties with other, you know, and what's that?
We didn't, you know, and also, you know, he droned this shit out of people overseas, but you won't hear much about that from the right wing unless they're trying to own you with hypocrisy about how you don't like Trump.
But what I was going to say is when I refer to the killing of, you know, a top general in Iran, the assassination of Soleimani in Iran, Iran, as the second or third slap in the face we've done to Iran, the sanctions we put against Iran are an act of war.
Sanctions are technically an act of war.
So when you hear people talk about Iran started it when they attacked our embassy, never mind the fact that it was protesters who attacked the embassy, protesters responding to the U.S. killing Iraqi militias,
Iraqi militia members, when they accuse Iran of starting the war by somehow masterminding those protests or whatever.
No, the U.S. started it when they voided the treaty we had with them and put sanctions on Iran.
So.
Yeah, exactly.
And that's just...
Like, that's when it should have happened.
You know, if it was a Western country, like, you know, Western, you know, in that sense, it would have been immediate.
You know, if we would have put, if we would have put sanctions on France tomorrow, they're going to fuck up our embassy.
But, you know, because, like I said, because it is like so foreign and we've have this idea now of anybody who, you know, is of a certain pigment and their beard is of a certain length that they only have one speed and that's like, you know, all out terror.
And it's like, fuck, man, that's it's been That should have been done by now, but it's not.
And it's just been...
Yes.
Like, the French do not fuck around as we've seen in recent history and throughout history.
Yeah, and just the idea that we need to go to war because people in Iraq raided an embassy in Iraq because we killed people in Iraq.
Yeah.
I can't wrap my mind around the thought process of somebody who thinks, yeah, let's go over there and kill people and be killed because we had an embassy in a foreign country and fucked with that foreign country and killed people in that foreign country for 17 years and they decided to trash our embassy.
And they have the news too.
They see our president shaking hands with this terrorist in an American uniform who he's pardoning.
They see these things.
They see us valorizing these war criminals.
They see that.
Yeah, they have so many reasons to be pissed.
Could you imagine if Saudi officials were congratulating and awarding and tweeting about whoever it was that chopped up that reporter?
I mean, there's like...
We would be irate.
I get what you're saying.
But our relationship with Saudi Arabia is such that they can literally do 9-11 and they can literally be directly connected to the torture and murder of that journalist.
And we're going to let that shit slide because we value their influence and their money.
What I meant was the people who perpetrated the torture and murder, we're not taking pictures with that exact person, like we do, like we did.
Their leader is not saying, hey, you did a real good job with that murder torture.
Yeah, he's not saying it openly.
This is exactly what we're doing.
He's just ordering it.
That's what I mean.
He's just saying it openly.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
There's a lot of stuff to talk about with this, with the reaction to it.
It's going to be a little scattershot here just because there's so much of it.
And I think the whole episode we're going to do on this Iran conflict slash pre-war.
You know, people think you can't get pregnant from pre-war, but you can.
So I think one of the first things that's just, let's go over real quick, just the liberal response to this.
The liberal response to this is completely sickening.
The framing of, well, let me read this.
So this is from NPR.
NPR did, had a whole piece on whether or not this killing, this assassination of an Iranian general was justified.
And they consulted like three different experts on foreign policy, I don't know, international diplomacy, international warfare.
And only one of these experts was at all critical of the attack.
And this is what that expert had to say.
His last name is Solis.
I just have a little screenshot from it here.
But I think he was like, you know, a professor of law at Harvard, you know, somewhere.
He says, I hope the U.S. has rock-solid written evidence of a continuing or ongoing or a planned attack on the United States or its interests, says Solis.
You've got to have more than an assertion that plans were underway, which is like nothing.
So some guy said, oh, hey, Trump, Pentagon, you better have a good reason for this.
And then Trump is going to say, yeah, we do.
And it's going, okay.
Like, what the fuck are you going to do about it?
You're going to see, he's going to say, yeah, we have evidence and it's fucking classified, bitch.
You're going to be like, okay.
Yeah, I can't tell you about it.
All right.
You have secret evidence.
Like, don't worry about it.
I could hear Trump be like, yeah, you know, we got some of it.
It's actually one of some of the Nunya files.
Some of the Nunya Act.
Yeah, yeah.
It's in the BAFA folder.
Yeah, the idea that we're going to respond to this extrajudicial assassination of a top foreign government and pretend like it's not an act of war because this person is a terrorist.
This general of a nation is a terrorist, responsible for the deaths of hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Americans.
And this is like, this is a framing of it that has been adopted by every Democratic presidential candidate except Bernie Sanders, to my knowledge.
When what they're referring to are not just the deaths of Americans.
He's responsible for the deaths of U.S. soldiers that have been occupying the Middle East at war in the Middle East for 17 years.
This is a name that isn't a good idea.
That we proclaimed was part of the Axis of Evil back in 2003.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like another way of framing this is just saying he's successfully not been murdered himself during this war.
Yeah.
Like he successfully led attacks like as a general.
Yeah.
And but when people hear this, oh, he's responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans?
Wow.
So he was probably like behind 9-11 or he was probably behind like the Boston bombing or something, right?
I mean, Americans.
Wow, that's me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He did the Atlanta Olympic bombing.
He goes that far back.
Yeah, and I mean, Matt Chrisman from Chapo has like exactly what I would say about this, which is you cannot say that Solomani was a danger to U.S. lives.
Not just soldiers, not just troops in conflicts over there.
He was a danger to civilians in America.
You can't admit that he was a danger to us and then say that we shouldn't have killed him.
It doesn't make sense.
It makes you look weak.
It makes you look both weak and stupid.
It makes you look like the stereotype of a Democrat.
Oh, yeah, there's bad people, but we can't do anything about it because it's against the rules or you didn't file the proper paperwork.
You got to separate the art from the artist.
You got to separate the war from the general.
I mean, it's just like you have to take a firm stance and you have to say, no, Iran is only a danger to us insofar as we are occupying that part of the world with a military sense.
Exactly.
And like, you know, speaking of him, like, the most recent thing he's done was like drive ISIS out of there.
And like, that's something that I guess we should be excited about, right?
But it's like we can't look at that.
All we can think of is like, oh, he was behind the death of U.S. soldiers.
But like I said, they don't even say soldiers.
They just say Americans.
Yeah, we didn't have a problem like welcoming Nazis with open arms when the war with Germany was over because we were in a fucking war with them.
I'm not saying that we should welcome.
It's a different kind of war.
It's a bit of a different kind of war.
But you understand what I'm saying.
When you're in an official conflict with somebody, you can't get mad at them for killing you back.
That's not the way it works.
Yeah, that's not...
Hold on.
It's not supposed to just roll over for you.
They're supposed to do their fucking job.
Listen, did you know?
I mean, we're all proud New Yorkers here.
Did you know that Boston is responsible for scoring hundreds of goals against our teams over the years?
Did you know that?
Did you know that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, that's so, it's so stupid.
Yeah.
But yeah, you said that.
You saw that everywhere.
That was like the common, it was, Because, I mean, you saw that on every single news report was saying exactly that too.
Always qualified with.
Well, he was a bad guy.
Nobody's saying he's not a good guy.
Well, do you think Trump's a bad guy?
Are you willing to go on the record and talk about what we did to Solomaney, who was a bad guy, should be done to every bad guy?
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
And like you said, talking about the candidates, man, Warren on the View was just so, such a fucking bummer.
Because she's already, you know, been fucking lame, but she's supposed to be a little bit better than that.
That was just, that was just fuck.
That was like, her policies are better than the other non-Bernie candidates, but her actual political talent is pretty lacking.
Like her political instincts are pretty fucking bad.
And I mean, I think she's strongest when she's in her wheelhouse about talking about the minutia of Wall Street regulation and connecting that to people's struggles.
But when it comes to like anything else outside of that, she's a complete like pushover.
And she just she got steamrolled by Megan McCain about Iran.
Like she should like all you have to say to Megan McCain is like, listen, your dad's dead.
You don't keep having to push for this war with Iran, you know?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And then she'll cry and like quit the show for a week, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
But no, she's not capable.
She's very like easily cornered on these sorts of things.
And yeah, I just not much of a backbone there.
Yeah, it was hard.
It was sad to watch.
But at the end, I was kind of, oh, poor thing.
Like, that's the thing, too.
Like, there's no way she's going to be able to go up against Trump.
There's like, that's, she's going to get destroyed.
No.
But anyways.
And she did the thing.
She was like, oh, yeah, yeah, he's a terrorist.
Like, Megan McCain just had to ask her the same question three times.
And she was like, oh, yeah, I guess he is a terrorist.
And he's like, he's a fucking general.
He's the general of a hugely powerful country in Iran.
If he's a terrorist, then every single official in the U.S. is a terrorist, which I don't disagree with.
Yeah, which I don't disagree with exactly.
Like, her to be pushed over that hard by Megan McCain, who's nobody.
Like, she's just a person on the view.
No.
Like, that's it.
The two other women whose names I don't handle Megan McCain on a daily basis.
Exactly.
Anytime I watch the two younger women who aren't Abby Hoffman or Abby Huntsman, the other two younger women are just like easily dispense with Megan McCain.
Like make Megan McCain sad in a span of like two minutes.
And, you know, one of the leading contenders for president can't stand up to that.
Can't do it.
But yeah, the terrorist thing is something I want to get into.
Sherry Kelly.
So this is like in the Tucker Carlson Fox News group.
So Tucker Carlson said something like, Trump is wrong for going after, for killing Solemani.
What he should be doing is killing brown people here in America.
That's like the subtext of what Tucker was talking about.
And yet a bunch of libs were like, oh, wow, when Tucker's right, he's right.
You know, just like complete idiots.
But a bunch of people were upset in the Tucker Carlson Fox News group for disagreeing with Trump on the assassination of Soleimani.
And Sherry Kelly says he has a point to an extent.
Kill the terrorist, but don't get into another never-ending war.
Make them glass, the end.
Start taking care of our own country first and foremost.
Both valid points.
So kill the terrorist.
Don't get into another never-ending war.
Make them glass.
So if you're not familiar with that sentiment, it means nuke them.
It means drop a nuclear bomb on Iran, which will heat them up so hot that it turns into glass.
The rock turns into glass.
This was a fairly common sentiment.
Jen Kishella says, get all our military out of there and make it into a thick sheet of glass.
Yeah, just do genocide.
Why are we complicating things with like a war or whatever?
Just do genocide on them.
And I remember that.
I remember that from the Bush era, that turn of phrase was, you know, turn it into glass.
And it's like clever because, you know, that's how you make glass is sand.
Turn it into the world's biggest parking lot.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
That whole thing.
And it's so fun.
It's so weird how they don't phrase it like, let's do a Hiroshima again.
They can't do that.
They can't say it that way.
That way it feels weird to them.
Even though they probably fuck with it.
They'd probably fuck with it.
But you don't see it as, you know, they still want to kind of like dehumanize it and not acknowledge the fact that you would be murdering thousands and thousands of people who were not involved with this at all.
We're going back there.
They don't want to acknowledge that part.
They're just like sheets.
Yeah.
We're going back there because, I mean, A, with the whole like genocide apologia that Steven Crowder does on Prager U. You know, like, like I said on that episode that we did, it was a Thanksgiving episode about the wounded knee massacre.
There was a segment on Prager U about the wounded knee massacre and how it actually wasn't a massacre.
It was a one-sided beat down with Old Glory wielding the hammer.
We've gone past this point, and maybe Trump ushered this in.
It might have been, it was probably in the works already, to where we are no longer scared to speak fondly about pure genocide.
And I don't even mean like, oh, it was a necessary evil or whatever.
Just like, no, that's called dominance.
That's called winning the war.
Like, you see this meme pretty frequently.
What is that?
It's like, yeah, it's just that, And that's the prevailing ideology over the centuries.
But for a while, there at least it wasn't cool to talk about it in that way, and I think it's coming back.
And there's a meme that's pretty popular that's like just ask Iran or ask Afghanistan or whatever what Japan thinks about the U.S. military.
And it's like a quote, and it's like, we attacked Pearl Harbor and they unleashed hell or they unleashed the power of the sun or something on us.
And it's a meme that's so popular, it gets censored by Facebook because it gets reported so frequently for being pro-genocide.
And they don't take it down.
They're just like, oh, just like people are babies, so we need to censor this a little bit.
And it's wild because they're not reading it as like, because that quote is saying like, you know, we did a thing and then like we were the most monstrous act in human history.
One of the most monstrous acts in human history.
Like we can say that pretty easily.
But they read it as like, oh, and then we were super strong.
Then we did the strongest thing ever.
Then we like really flexed on them.
And it's so fucking crazy how we just conflate.
We don't even...
They just think about how like, well, we got the W. We got the W. Yeah, we got the W and we like dominated them.
Like that's that's the narrative they're going with.
The narrative isn't, oh, we overreacted completely and did genocide.
Yeah.
The argument is like they won't fuck with us anymore.
You know, like we are that scrappy underdog who just needed to beat up the biggest bully in the prison or whatever.
You know, whatever we need to tell ourselves to justify that sort of thing.
Gail Bryant said, he killed terrorists.
So Trump killed terrorists in a battle.
That is not assassination.
What nasty, idiot morons these hate-filled liberals are.
We killed one of their heroes.
So a few things.
It wasn't a battle.
It was a top general from Iran boarding an airplane at an airport, ostensibly in Iraq for a diplomatic mission, a diplomatic engagement, killed just in an airplane at an airport by a drone or by a missile.
Second of all, yeah, he killed terrorists in a battle that is not assassination.
There was a big, people took issue with the term assassination.
And I have no idea why, because this is like the antithesis of the, I believe, more compelling right-wing argument.
I mean, they can have both arguments and deploy them, which with other, you know, whichever one is more effective in the moment.
But the more popular right-wing argument, the more visceral right-wing argument is, yeah, fuck yeah, we assassinate him.
Who cares?
He's a bitch, you know?
Like, that's that, what I, that's like, the Trump administration does not have to explain this to anybody.
He's, he's in control with very little checks and balances.
You know, we've expanded this, the role of the U.S. president for, you know, 20 years now to an unbelievable degree.
He doesn't have to answer to anybody.
So I don't know why people are mincing words in public to try and do PR for this act or whatever.
But people took issue with the term assassination.
Whatever.
Well, it's like, because they know that something's wrong with it.
They know that something is off here.
And so they want to be like, no, we can't call it an assassination because that feels like funny.
Because when we think of assassinations, they think of American presidents getting assassinated, you know.
So they think it's something kind of funny.
So they kind of have to like, like you said, they have to make it seem a little more warranted or like they should have seen it coming.
Or an assassination sounds like sneaky.
I don't know.
But you're right.
It's really weird that they're doing both.
Yeah.
And I just, the idea of calling him a terrorist, like, whereas there might be a more specific comment.
I think I might have also read it already.
It's just this idea of kill the terrorist, but don't get into another never-ending war.
That's the one.
Like, this is how delusional we are.
This is how delusional the American public is.
Well, kill the terrorist, but don't get into a war.
Okay, you can't just call the top general of a foreign country a terrorist, and then that means there's not going to be any war.
That's not how it works.
Just because America has this like weird Orwellian and its working preoccupation, proclivity of calling anybody they kill retroactively a terrorist doesn't mean other people are going to see it that way.
Yeah.
And what's really funny is that they're kind of telling on themselves too, because they're pointing out that it is up to us if the war happens.
Like, they're like, hey, we can just kill him and then like, then that's it, right?
There's no idea of retaliation.
It's like, yeah, us doing this in the first place is the decision that's being made.
You know, the response is not up to us.
The way it's responded to, that's not our call.
We don't get to call that.
But like, in their in their narrative, we do.
You know, we get to say, hey, we, we killed him and now you learn your lesson, right?
Like, now we're done.
It's like, you know, when you're, when, uh, when someone's fighting and you're like, you've had enough.
If you had enough?
We're going to get up.
We're going to, we're calm now.
Yeah, but it's, and they already have like a fail-safe built into the idea that Iran is not going to just accept that we killed a terrorist, which is just, oh, turn them into glass.
Just do genocide so we don't have to figure out the legality of what we just did.
We don't have to figure out any of the ramifications of what we did because we can just kill everyone over there.
Because they're all terrorists.
Yeah.
And I just think that's so funny.
It's just like a real big hallmark of like American stupidity and American arrogance, but also like the indoctrination we've been doing and just the repercussions of this never-ending, quote, war on terror that, you know, has been furthered by Democratic and Republican presidents.
Like this is what you, this is the attitude you foster when you just kill people indiscriminately with drones for 20 years.
Like this is what this is how people think of other people over there in the Middle East.
Oh, they don't have a reason to fucking hate us for occupying their country.
They're just terrorists.
They're just, they have that bad gene over there.
Anyway, getting a little in the weeds here with my own disgust for these people.
It's easy to do.
Sean Lynch says, and this was on a friend's post, I don't give a fuck what terrorists do.
You fuck with me and hit me close to home.
I hit you closer.
Plain and simple.
Still don't like him.
So Trump.
Still don't like Trump.
But in this case, fuck anybody trying to keep us to a standard when the Iranians aren't keeping a standard for themselves.
Yeah, so Sean Lynch, he just took offense to the idea that Iran hit us close to home over in Iraq.
Yeah, I don't understand that.
Like, you know, well, I guess home is where the heart is.
And, like, you know, my boys are over there and that's my heart.
I don't understand.
It's so fucking stupid.
Hey, you fuck with me.
You fuck with me in my own backyard in Iraq and thousands of miles away.
Yeah, you're going to get some smoke.
fucking insane.
You fucking fuck my, Just like, and then I, you know, it's people were like commenting and arguing with the minion death cult Facebook about how, no, it was justified because they attacked our embassy or whatever.
And I was like, yeah, it's crazy how they've just been like getting closer and closer to our embassies over the years.
And somebody else is like, do you know how embassies work?
Meaning like since they're embassies, obviously they're in foreign countries.
And it's like, yeah, we fucking killed a million people in Iraq to get that embassy.
That's how we got the embassy that was attacked.
We killed a million people over there.
I know how embassies work.
Do you think we're bummed about?
Yeah, like that, that's like, I mean, I'm bummed about like Confederate monuments.
I can't even imagine how they feel about American embassies.
And then Sean Lynch also says, someone spits on you.
Are you going to keep your standards and not spit right back into their face?
And it's like, yeah, I hate when I'm occupying a foreign country and killing their people and making demands for 17 years and then they spit in my face over it.
Fucking hate that shit, man.
Just through the lack of respect, really.
Sean's also one of the guys in that video of the two guys who keep spitting back and forth at each other.
Like they're about to fight, but neither one, they just keep spitting back and forth, like one of them crosses the street, you know what I'm talking about?
Oh, I haven't seen that.
That's funny.
Oh, well, yeah, okay.
I think I have seen that.
They're both aggressively spitting at each other, but it doesn't go any further than that.
They like part ways, but they're angrily spitting at each other.
Is one of them getting into a taxi or something?
I think so, yeah.
Another funny post was a page called Beer, Bait, and Ammo.
Hell yeah.
And it's a guy doing the Naruto run.
On the left, on the right, it says, Iran coming to invade the USA.
And then on the bottom, it's the same guy doing the Naruto run away.
And it says, Iran running away when half their military gets dropped by armed civilians sitting on their front porch drinking cold beer.
Like, that's a real thing that I think they think is going to happen.
Like, I, I, do you think, I don't know.
It's, you're not going to.
It just baffles my mind, man.
Like, they really think they're ready for that, like, that.
Like, that's not going to happen, especially probably from wherever you're from.
Like, that's not how this is going to work.
It's definitely not.
They're not going to show up like D-Day with boats on the shore and storm us.
No.
Like, that's not how this works.
And it's just, it's complete projection on the part of Americans who just assume Iran would want to invade us at all.
Yeah.
Because, like, that's what we would do.
That's what we would want.
You know?
And it's like, no, they would like.
Yeah, they would just continue to attack our embassies or overseas because we're stretched so entirely far out.
But yeah, and it's also this thing of like, oh, well, yeah, they're not going to invade us because they're too scared.
They're too scared of my cousin who would totally join the military, you know, if he wanted to.
They're super afraid Of our citizen militias or whatever, and it's not just because it would make no sense for them to actually invade the U.S. Yeah, not because it's not at all logistical to do that.
Like, come on now.
There's just so many targets for them halfway across the world.
It would make absolutely no sense.
And just the idea of like going to die, starting a war, going to die because an embassy was attacked is like the most cucked shit possible.
Totally.
Like, just like you said, just like a wild rebuttal, like so unnecessary, just so over the top.
It's like, it's, it's like the, you know, the guy when you're playing Monopoly who flips the board.
It's like, you didn't need to do that.
It would be like, it's like if the rival school tagged your high school, you know, and they were like, wildcats suck.
You'd be like, okay, yeah, we do suck.
Cool, man.
Like, imagine, like, getting a crew together to go retaliate because somebody talks shit about your school or whatever.
Yeah, they tag your school so you murder their mascot.
Like, that's what, you know.
Just, I couldn't even be bothered to like tag the other school back.
Like, I don't.
No.
Yeah.
It's not as big of a deal.
I can't imagine carrying.
Joanna Tucky says, this is in the Fox News comment section.
All I have to say is pray for my husband and my friends' husbands.
They're soldiers over there, and it's about to get real ugly.
Man, I feel so bad for your soldiers, your husbands occupying another country because it's about to get real ugly for them personally.
I know I don't want to do that, but not the whole, that's their job, but that is their job.
Like, that's, that's, you know, now you're sad because we have to worry about your husband, like, warring it when that's what he does.
That's his whole thing.
Well, it's just like understand their job has been to make it ugly for the rest of the world.
And like the guy that you elected is, like, making it more dangerous for them, so we have to pray for them now.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Pray more, you mean?
You mean pray more?
Because I'm already praying for him.
I'm not like totally anti-vet.
You know, I think a lot of people who served have something to add to a leftist movement.
But people who are currently enlisted and occupying foreign countries, I don't have much sympathy for those people.
Sorry.
No.
Sorry.
Yeah, why did you do this?
Why did you join?
I mean, there are people who, like, you know, to totally, there are people who.
Are we going to have this conversation?
Like, trick you into thinking.
No, no, no.
But I'm saying that that exists.
I just need to acknowledge that that exists.
There are people who got tricked into thinking that's the only way they can get a future.
But like, no, fuck that noise.
Like, no.
They haven't done anything for us.
I mean, that's nothing for me ever.
That's my favorite thing.
That's what occupying a foreign country fucking gets you, man.
If you don't like it, I suggest you.
You should quit.
You should probably quit.
You should probably very much quit.
And that conversation of like, well, you know, I got family who like is who's serving, so I don't want to say anything about it.
It's like, no, say something about it because like, you know, maybe, maybe they are like knuckleheads who can be talked to.
And like, they can get, like, they can get dishonorable discharges for not doing things.
They can, like, make a stink, and they can, like, hopefully make a difference.
Because, like, that's the, the, the vets were one of the biggest movements in Vietnam to get it, you know, to get it ended, you know?
So, like, that's, we do need, we need vets acting against it, and we need active duty people acting against it.
So, a lot of veterans have come back about it.
They're completely disillusioned by our engagements overseas.
You know, they're one of the strongest contingents of people who are anti-war, like you were saying, Tony, both in the 60s and today.
But we don't give a shit about them.
If they're anti-war, then they're not the good veterans.
Like, that's just how it works because this country, they don't actually care about your service.
They care about whether or not you're going to further the imperialist cause.
That's your purpose.
Yeah.
Your purpose isn't just like the labor you do.
The purpose is like what you can achieve for the MIC.
Do do do.
Sharon Hewton Grasshoff says, as a gold star aunt and mother and mother-in-law to two active duty soldiers, thank you, President Trump.
I am so glad you're president.
So she's saying, as somebody whose family has been killed in war, oh, God, thank you, President Trump.
I'm so happy that you're there.
Get more of them killed.
Hey, listen, I'm a gold star aunt right now.
I think I could go for that gold star mother.
Yeah, I think I'm due for a promotion right now.
You know, once you get your third gold star, you get, it's like, that's a full punch card.
You get a free one.
Once you get the third gold star, they just give you the platinum one.
They replace it with the platinum one.
Dude, gold star aunts are like the biggest clout chasers.
Like, I don't get this comment.
I don't get this comment.
Hey, as a gold star aunt and mother and mother-in-law to two active duty soldiers, thank you, President Trump.
As somebody whose family has died in the war, in the wars, and as somebody who has family, immediate family still serving in these wars, thank you for doing more wars, Trump.
I like everything that's happened So far, it's great.
Let's do more of it.
Yeah, they do.
They wear it with pride, and there's no resentment or anger towards the government that made them die.
There's just pride that they're dead now.
She just wants people to have the same pride that I have.
I think all it is is she likes military engagement.
She likes America flexing on the inferior brown people overseas.
And her nephew or niece was killed.
So she's a gold star aunt.
And she realizes that this has sway in political discourse.
Yeah.
So she can use her gold star status to further her personal cause of imperialism.
And it's just naked.
And it's just really poorly deployed.
It's really poorly displayed here because normally you're a little better about invoking your dead nieces and nephews to further the imperialist agenda.
Gold star ants are the biggest cloud chasers.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
I'm a gold star cousin.
My cousin died.
I'm a gold star alumni.
I went to school with some people that died.
Yeah, I'm a gold star rideshare.
This guy that I used to carpool with.
He's totally dead.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Andre Rodin says, no, we can skip that one.
Oh, he's responding to the Gold Star on.
He's saying, so you want more American soldiers to die since Trump basically declared war, right?
She says, wrong.
Only Congress can declare war.
The executive branch handles the military.
He didn't declare war.
He did authorize the military to take out a person who has murdered over 700 of our soldiers and had plans to kill more of our soldiers in Iraq.
Oh my God, he had plans to kill the military forces on his border.
Oh my God.
Can you believe?
What a monster.
What a thought.
I also love that she pulled like a number out, like 700.
She pulled like a number out, like I don't know, you know.
I've seen it over.
I've seen just over.
Yeah, but I love that she picked seven.
Over 700.
Yeah, and it's just this idea.
No, he didn't start a war.
He just killed a guy.
He killed a guy who's probably just a guy, you know?
Semantics.
Yeah, Kathy Raisin says, though not a fan of Trump, but I kiss both his hands for making that happen.
What kind of a sick fuck are you where you don't like Trump, but you love this?
What kind of a weirdo are you?
Like, you're on some different shit.
Like, are you the person who's like, Trump's not hard enough on foreign policy?
Trump's not enough of a war hawk?
Is that your thing?
I mean, maybe she was like rightfully disgusted by his sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations.
True, true.
But not at all horrified by his, you know, killing and indiscriminate killing in the Middle East.
No.
Sylvia Sein Whitaker says, watching the embassy news, my five-year-old grandson looks at me and says, don't worry, Grandma.
Donald John Trump will handle them.
Praying the GOP stays in power many years to protect my grandson's future when I leave this earth.
Please, GOP, protect my gifted grandson.
I'm not a big fan of getting people involved in people's lives like this, but I do think we need to call some sort of authority to check in on this poor kid.
Like, that's fucked.
No, the authorities were there and they clapped.
They clapped when this five-year-old stood up and said, I love my president, Donald John Trump.
That's insane.
And, like, this is another stupid thing.
Like, this, okay, this didn't happen.
And if it did, that sucks worse.
Like, that's, that sucks.
Yeah, it's awful.
Why is your five-year-old watching Fox News?
Jesus Christ.
And, like, why do they have this understanding of the dynamics of what a president is?
Because, like, I understand, you know, you getting your five-year-old to be like, oh, yay, Trump, you know?
Because, like, I guess I've done that with my kid, but the other direction.
Yeah, but that's the right take.
Yeah.
But, but, like, but getting, but your kid has an understanding that, like, this foreign thing happening, Donald Trump is, like, is the, the, you know, the commander-in-chief and can, like, have an, can make something happen over there.
Like, why, why would the kid have that understanding of anything?
That's so weird.
These are probably, like, telling him, if this really happened, which it didn't, you're probably telling him that Donald Trump is like killing all the bad people.
And, like, that's why we elected him.
That's true.
Because he's killing the bad people.
That's true.
And that's what we like.
Yeah.
Kevin Ganser posted into the Joe Rogan Experience podcast group something about how awful Trump is.
Except it was the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast group.
So he was probably like, Trump is a fucking gay.
Trump is so fucking queer and sucks Putin's dick.
And I can't believe you gay boys all suck his balls.
Because that's the liberal representation in the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast group.
And David James Morin says, come at us, bro.
Your country is a joke.
So I don't know.
Maybe the OP was Canadian or something.
I can't remember.
And then Josh Johnson replies, and yet the USA hasn't won a war since 1945.
Iran.
Iran Will literally defeat USA and you'll be stuck in Middle East till year 2120.
And then David James Morin replies, pretty sure nobody, quote, wins a war.
Just saying.
Thank you, David.
Thank you, David.
I didn't see that coming at all from you.
But I appreciate that you.
So I love this.
Yeah, just like, yeah, come at us, bro.
We'll fuck you up.
Your country's a joke.
You guys wouldn't win.
Does anyone ever actually win when there's violence?
Yeah.
Like, incredible.
This is totally the Joe Rogan podcast, too, though.
This is like the dude who drinks his bulletproof coffee and meditates in the morning.
And then goes to the MMA grappling session and the shooting range, but then ends it all with a sound bath.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love that.
You can't respond to that.
You got owned.
Another guy comments with a meme, and it's an American flag.
So I think it's like a political comic.
It's not like a meme.
It's like a political comic.
It's an American flag.
And then superimposed on top of the American flag is a really buff eagle, like an anthropomorphized eagle with like biceps and shit on his wings.
Which are really not his functional wings at all.
No, sitting on a stool.
Taking a file to his talons.
Yeah.
But then there's text on top of the meme that's like in one of the white stripes of the American flag background.
The text says, American Eagle Knife Sharpening.
That way you know they're not just like cleaning its toenails.
You know what's actually happening.
No, I don't know what's actually happening.
Because hold on a second.
So this is like a common thing where people will take a political cartoon.
Like boomers usually will take a political cartoon and then turn it into a meme by just like adding extraneous text that's like not necessary.
It's both not necessary and somehow contradicts like what the actual political cartoon is.
It just makes it worse, you know?
So the text says American Eagle knife sharpening.
So in the mind of the person who typed this out, the American Eagle is holding a knife and sharpening the knife on its own talons.
Oh my God.
It's using its talons to sharpen a knife that it's going to like stab around with or something.
Yeah, yeah.
You're totally right.
You're absolutely right.
It was fine without it.
I got the message.
It made sense.
I mean, it made sense that an eagle, a human, buff-ass human eagle would be sharpening its talons, which is an eagle's primary weapon.
I mean, I guess this eagle has like fists and shit, too, so it can use those.
Probably a gun or two.
Sure, but I would think that it would be sharpening its talons, but according to the person who wanted to punch up this meme, the American eagle is sharpening a knife with its toenails.
I love this because the eagle would have to fly and then land to use the knife.
Because you can't fly out with one wing and stab.
This whole thing is just silly.
I love it.
I do like the image of a bald eagle flying with a knife in its mouth.
Yeah, that's badass.
Pretty badass.
Yeah, but just, oh God, so many things wrong.
I think they made this whole thing.
I think they made the, because the American flag background is red, white, and blue.
It's in color.
But the bald eagle is like a pencil sketch, like an actual political cartoon.
Yeah, so just wonderful.
It's great.
It's great.
I love it.
Okay, so one of the funnier things to happen in the wake of this, you know, I don't know, just awful monstrosity of nationalism and really just like, I don't know, a nation that's been completely unchained from any sort of restraints,
you know, like another war in Iran, like, like I said, the public doesn't have the appetite for it, but like, what's going to stop it?
Yeah.
You know, do we have the mechanism to stop it?
Do we have the, I don't know, force of will to actually do it?
I don't think we do.
I think a lot of people would just like go along with it.
You know?
Like, I mean, they are.
Well, Trump is, as far as I can tell, I don't know.
I don't watch the news, so I just see what people say about the news.
But as far as I can tell, like Trump was really presidential, and he was restrained in his response to Iran bombing the, I don't know, the base or whatever where U.S. soldiers were held.
And Trump was like, oh, yeah, they're backing down now so we can like stop doing this shit or whatever.
So I think Trump is trying to de-escalate for, you know, like an all-out shooting war or whatever.
But, I mean, the military engagements will keep going anyway.
Okay, but one of the funnier things to happen was George Lopez saying that he would kill the president.
Yeah.
Like, I kind of like George Lopez in general.
Like, he gets a little cringe.
He gets a little boomer.
Some of his Facebook shit is stupid.
But saying you're going to kill the president is like a funny bit.
Like, that's a genuinely funny bit.
Like, it gets a chuckle out of me for sure.
Yeah, every time.
Every time I'm going to have a little bit of a smirk, you know?
It's not like a knee slapper.
Like, it's not like one of those like, oh, oh, it's not that because, you know, it's not shocking, but it is like, I don't know.
It's just like you get a little warm tickle, you know, when you hear about George Lopez killing the president.
Because Iran put out a bounty on Trump, which is also very funny.
Super fucking funny.
And George Lopez is like, we'll do it for half is what he commented on somebody's Instagram post about it.
And it makes me think of, so I was at brunch the other day.
Even though Hillary didn't win, I still went out to brunch because I'm that fucking brave.
Went out to brunch with like a...
I'm just, I have that power.
I have that power to be politically disengaged even when there's a crisis, an ever-present crisis.
Went out to brunch with like this woman that I've been dating, seeing, talking to, who's pretty, you know, we don't talk much politics.
I try to feed her and her friends communist propaganda, which means I just like rant about hating capitalism and they let me do it.
But I think she's pretty lib, progressive lib or whatever.
But we were at brunch and the, you know, the Iran, the subject of Iran came up.
And she just apropos, you know, I was like, yeah, we're probably going to die for this, you know, or whatever eventually.
And she was like, why hasn't somebody just blanked him yet?
Referring to Trump.
Yeah.
And I was like, yeah, it's, yeah, I wonder.
And she's like, we just, we should just fucking blank the blank.
I was like, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, hey, I don't know if this is the champagne.
I don't know if these are the mimosas, but no, and it's just like, how is the Secret Service responding to every death threat against this president?
There's no way.
They would have had to expand like, you know, it's pretty bad.
They have to have some sort of combination of words that are very specific to looking for now because it's just, yeah, there's no way.
You just can't buy certain things for a few weeks.
You can't buy like manure for a while.
Yeah.
Bulk manure.
Unfortunately.
Yeah, like, you know, I'm sure Obama probably got the most death threats for any president up to that point.
But Trump has had to have more.
Like, he's driving these lips insane.
Yeah, had to.
There's like, there's no, there's no, I mean, I don't know.
Well, at least there's more devices to listen to people say it.
So that has to be part of it, too.
Well, that too.
I mean, people are talking about like killing Baron Trump.
Like, people are going crazy.
People are going fucking wild.
There's some ticker in some office somewhere that's just melting because it's just going off like crazy.
But yeah, anyway, George Lopez said we should do that.
And we all think it's funny and cool and good.
Not everybody, I guess, because Worse Karma is responding to somebody in the Daily Caller comment section who said, I saw this as funny.
It's what is called black comedy, making a joke about something normally considered taboo.
And it's actually not black comedy.
Black comedy is where you do really good impressions of white people.
This is dark comedy.
That's different.
And worst karma responds, really?
And would it still be, quote, funny and, quote, black comedy if it was a death threat against Bathhouse Barry, quote, lightbringer, OG Slurp?
God.
Which I think means Obama.
I think that meant Obama.
For sure.
This is what happens when there's a generation of people who hate Obama that also watch Rick and Morty.
I just, you know, it's like, you don't want to call everything racism, but you can kind of just tell that somebody's being racist when they refer to Obama as his middle name, Lightbringer.
Yeah.
Bathhouse Barry, Lightbringer, insane.
Quote, Lightbringer.
OG Slurp.
Which is like easily my favorite.
Easily.
Easily my favorite.
Because A. O.Giz Slurp.
It's just like visceral.
It's like very concentrated.
Concentrated like sexual energy in that derogatory question mark name.
But it also just, it doesn't sound like Obama at all.
Nothing.
No.
Nothing.
It doesn't have the same amount of syllables.
It literally shares one letter.
That's it.
That's it.
It's like, there's like.
It's so bad.
And in Ojiz Slurp, O is capitalized, but also J. There's no apostrophe there.
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
And I like how Lightbringer is.
What do you think Lightbringer is?
I want to hear what you think Lightbringer is.
Is that just like, is that like what Hussein translates to?
Ooh.
Oh, wow.
That's way more sophisticated than I was going to.
Maybe.
I have no idea.
Maybe.
I mean, I don't know.
That would maybe make some sense.
Yeah, but what were you saying?
Don't tell me that.
I'll look it up real fast.
What I thought it was going to be is I thought it was like him mocking liberals for liking Obama, for, quote, worshiping Obama.
Like that was one of the criticisms of liberals was that Obama was the chosen one or the like the true one true God or whatever.
So that's.
Yeah, it's definitely some fantastical sword for sure.
Or is that Oath Keeper?
There's a lot of fantastical swords in Lord of the Rings.
No, who's Oathkeeper's Game of Thrones, which you said you didn't watch.
And now I'm suspicious.
I told you, I watched the first season and a half.
Okay.
And then I stopped dating the girl with the HBO password.
And I just didn't have energy to pick it up from there.
Did you find the translation of Hussein?
Yeah, it's good, handsome.
It's not Lightbringer.
I was being really optimistic.
Yeah, so Lightbringer is just a criticism of liberal fandom over Obama, but it's Bathhouse Barry, quote, Lightbringer, OGIS Slurp.
So like out of these, Bathhouse Berry is the only one I've heard before.
I've only heard Bathhouse Berry.
Yeah.
I've never heard Lightbringer, and I definitely haven't heard OJ's Slurp.
But I like that Lightbringer is an interesting one.
When they're calling him Bathhouse Barry, they are calling him gay, right?
Yes.
Okay, just making sure.
Yeah, Bathhouse Berry is like, yeah, he would, like, public bathhouse hedonism or whatever.
Decoriginus.
Oh, dude, you didn't include the long one, did you?
It's on the very bottom.
No, the other long one.
Yeah, it's on the very bottom.
Oh, the problematic long one.
The one from the I don't know if I can read this on the air.
This would be the worst thing that I've read on the air.
There's no N-words in it, but there's lots of other stuff in it.
Let me try to look at it real quick.
Yeah, I think I need a second opinion on whether or not I can read this on the air.
Oh, man.
Who said it?
I'm trying to find it in mine.
It's in one of the website comment sections.
It's in a daily caller.
It's caved one ver replying to the ubergroid tard.
or calling him the uber great toward That's like a separate thing.
This comment is like...
Somehow, I don't think I have it.
Yeah, I don't think I have it.
Teasing right now.
Alright, we'll figure out whether or not we want to read it on another episode.
Sorry, folks.
Sorry to tease that.
It's really good, though.
It might be really good.
Decoriginus comments, Lopez is speaking for Hollywood, and he's not really talking about eliminating President Trump.
He's talking about eliminating you and me.
So this is that meme.
It's they don't hate you.
It's Trump saying this to his dumbass voters.
They don't hate you.
They don't hate me.
They hate you.
They just hate me because I'm standing in between them and you.
It's that memory.
It's be afraid.
Be extremely afraid.
And I'm the only one who you can trust.
And I'm taking all these slings and arrows for you.
You will be slaughtered.
You will have your throat slit in your sleep if another Democrat takes control of the presidency.
Yeah.
It's so fucking lame.
And it's like when people say this, I really wonder how much they actually believe it or how much they're just trying to radicalize other people in this comment section.
Yeah, that's kind of the question.
Are they like using the rhetoric to influence people or have they been infected with it?
Yeah, Revolt the Dissident says, let them try.
I want them to.
Which I just read as like, I want to die.
Like, let them try to illuminate me.
I want them to.
I'm done.
Cold dead hands.
Cold, dead hands.
I pray for the sweet release of death.
Surely death would be less lonely than living in this apartment.
Oh, and then Linda Pittinger shared this story into QAnon Fall the White Rabbit.
George Lopez offered to kill the president.
George Lopez, member of Hollywood Elite.
Yes.
Very important.
Yes.
What an elite member of Hollywood George Lopez is.
Linda Pittinger.
To understand this comment.
Linda Pittinger comments, captions this link to the story about George Lopez saying he's going to kill the president.
Georgie Porgy, pudding in pie, kissed the, quote, little girls and made them cry.
Those who make the most noise have the most hide.
Which I think she meant most to hide.
To hide, yeah, not like skin.
Yeah.
Which I love how this is like definitely saying, well, if he's killing the president, if he wants to kill the president, he must be trying to distract us from the fact that he's a pedophile.
And it's really cool to like condemn pedophiles with a nursery rhyme.
That's not something that's equally as creepy as the idea of a pedophile.
Yeah.
Georgie Porgy, pudding and pie.
And it's just like, yeah, when, I mean, you know, probably not saying anything new here, but your preoccupation, your, I don't know, supposition or assertion that George Lopez kissed little girls really seems to be telling us more about you than about George Lopez.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Like, it's you looking at the Stranger Things kids with their temporary pizza slice tattoos and being 100% certain that they're sex slaves.
Yeah, that's like you're the one that's fucking.
Something's wrong.
I don't think they catch that at all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I love how clever she thinks she is too.
Like, the only reason why this works is because his name is George.
Like, that was the inspiration for this amazing joke.
And, like, Linda is fucking slaying it.
She's like, I get to pun him with his name.
I get to, you know, expose him for being a Hollywood elitist pedophile.
And, like, I also get to tease him.
Like, it's so good.
Like, she really weird, though.
Like, the nursery rhyme thing is super weird.
Like, so weird.
So weird.
Guess Curious George was a curious little monkey.
Like, very, like, I don't need to hear you connecting nursery rhymes to pedophilia.
Yeah, also, like, if you really believe that, why are you being cute about it?
That's weird.
Yeah, no, exactly.
Because she's being, like, the only reason she cares about him being a pedophile is so she can own him.
She doesn't care about his victims or the actual act of, like, assaulting children or whatever.
She cares about the fact that she can, like, use it in a rhetorical Facebook argument.
So she could be as cute as she wants to about it.
Cause it means nothing to her except a way of like owning the celebrity man who talked bad about Trump.
It's, it's so fucking these, There is going to be some server purge one day and it's going to be really bad.
I mean, these people, like, I see it all.
Of all these QAnon groups.
I see it all the time in these comment sections where it's like some people will be skeptical of the accusations about like Hillary Clinton or like, I don't know, whatever.
Some people in these QAnon groups, you know, are like, I don't know, or whatever.
And other people will be like, no, I saw videos and I saw photos and it like destroyed me.
It like really fucked me up and I and I like couldn't sleep for a week or I couldn't sleep for two weeks, but then I had to do something about it and investigate more and go deeper.
And it's like, you are subjecting yourself to the worst shit.
Because it's like, yes, yes, that stuff actually exists.
It 100% exists.
And it likely exists among the elite.
But you are not doing anything about it.
You are like just wallowing in it.
You are just subjecting yourself to.
Yeah, you were just torturing yourself.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I'm not saying it should be ignored.
That's not what I'm saying at all.
I'm just saying don't like put that shit on your hard drive.
Don't go looking for that stuff.
And I mean, these people seem to enjoy it, you know, so there's a lot of them are probably, you know, a little bit of projection there, possibly.
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
And it's just, you know, okay, so in case you didn't know, George Lopez is Mexican.
He's Hispanic.
So we get just some great responses like we get when Terrence K. Williams, you know, has his comment section.
Terrence K. Williams has his fans of people who are down.
You know, people who know what's up.
And George Lopez has his, I don't know, people are holding their own against George Lopez.
You know what I'm saying?
Because Connie Janot says to George Lopez, not funny, homeboy.
Homeboy.
I love it.
Which has four likes.
Not funny, homeboy.
Connie Janot has a profile picture of her from the 90s when she was 35. H. Frederick Glory says Bye Punto And I think maybe I think maybe he meant to say Punto.
I think so.
I got a hunch, yeah.
Because that would be the George Lopez word for bitch.
Yeah, that'd be George Lopean for bitch.
That's how you say bitch and George Lopez.
Yeah, and George Lopez speak.
Yeah.
This is like similar.
They're just trying to speak in the same tongue, just like they did with the nursery rhyme.
Same thing with his language.
Not funny, homeboy.
I like that.
Yeah, god damn.
Bye, Punto.
Bye.
Yeah.
Like, so close.
It would have been so good if he had gotten Punto right, then no shots at all.
That's how I would spell it if I'm making fun of a white guy saying it.
With the end or without the end?
With the end.
Yeah, you became a stereotype.
We don't mean to be racist against white people on this show, but you do it to yourselves, folks.
You do it to yourselves, you know?
It's like you keep asking for it.
All right.

We will not be wrong.
Disrupt.
Misdirect.
High-splated and neutralized.
Like the two elves who burned alive in 79. Now those enemies of the hour.
Are the focus of this moment.
As long as we are here.
Every voice.
Remains alive.
Because you can't.
Kill an idea.
I will not be wrong You can't kill an idea And we will not be wrong by fear I pledge your face to the flag, undeniable mistakes of God.
So many nations and their gods are dispensable.
With liberty and justice deserved for a precious chosen view.
But our future being free by the facade.
But come.
it's an illusion The struggle is not over.
It assumes new forms.
No matter what the face, no matter what the name It's still What?
