Comments
Alec Jones and his ilk believe that "the Globalists" are required to lay out all of their plans because universal something something. It's one of their crazier ideas and it is just the right type of batching insane. I know I'm late to the show, but I was re-listening to old episodes and just had to put that craziness out there for others to know.

2022-01-05 10:33:54 +0000 UTCMy interpretation of Chauvin’s facial expression as the verdicts were read was that it conveyed abject incredulity and disbelieving astonishment. Chauvin constantly displayed facial expressions and body language that communicated his over-abundance of egotism and arrogance, fortified by the comfortable luxury of his inherent white privilege, and up until now, his ability to remain unchecked within the grossly unaccountable career industry he chose, which in turn has only served to bolster his sense of entitlement and confirm his deluded concepts of his own superiority. Chauvin is an enormous pile of rotting, stinking shit, and he’s a fucking waste of air and space. I sincerely hope he receives the maximum sentence for each of his convictions, and that each sentence is imposed to run consecutive to the others. I won’t hold my breath for that to happen. It’s not likely that we will be lucky enough for The Right Thing to actually occur twice within one case.

2021-04-24 03:58:34 +0000 UTCI’m so disappointed in Dawkins! But I’m so grateful to Noah for calling him out! I love you guys sooo much! Scathing Atheist, Cognitive Dissonance, Skepticrat, and Citation Needed are my all time favorite podcasts that I NEVER miss!!! Although I only just recently got into podcasts, i was instantly hooked on these four, and I’m a loyal Patreon supporter of all of them! I also highly recommend them all the time!

2021-04-22 21:21:42 +0000 UTCI can’t use a phone at all in a dream. I try to push the buttons for a number and always get it wrong.

2021-04-22 17:58:20 +0000 UTCI’m glad you at least got the Chauvin news in there. It’s a rough week but I can’t express the amount of relief, exhaustion and grief that washed over me as I watched the judgement being read. His surprised face at being found guilty is enough fuel for my spite-powered will to live for at least one more year.

Ann Pollard
2021-04-22 14:37:48 +0000 UTCI mean ... is it really necessary to call out the way Jerry Falwell, Jr’s wife spells her name? Other than that, it was a great episode.
