Just started Ari and Jesus H Tap Dancing Christ. He opened by plugging Peter Navarro's legal fund

website. Can’t make this shit up. And he gave him 28 minutes of airtime. I got nothin. I fast forwarded through it because my allergies are acting up and the stench of bullshit would make my eyes water.

I know some here are infatuated with him and I really do get that. BUT…he embraces a convicted criminal who sought to prevent the peaceful transfer of power thus a traitorous renegade fascist for ratings, as well as a musical culture filled with murders, the foulest of language coupled with extreme misogyny (yeah…it is, I don’t care what you think it is or isn’t. Hardly profound, listen to the lyrics sometime) and thinks he’s cool.

Not fooling me for a minute: I knew twenty guys like him in my youth. Son of a successful professional and looking for his own identity but inexorably tied to the patriarchy. Reasonably bright and sufficiently physically attractive but entirely unoriginal and non-creative but driven to succeed. These guys hit a glass ceiling and then self-destruct. I’ve watched it happen for a lifetime as a fellow person of the Jewish persuasion.

like, like, like, like. She’s got a cynical sense of humor and I adore that part of her persona.
