Thank you for addressing the weirdest of observations that I had. There was an adult performer by the name of Jake Adams who died in a motorcycle accident back in either 2020 or 2021 and when I scrolled and saw his movies, I paused and wondered if I could enjoy knowing that he died. And then you and Karen put it in context that we are not going to stop watching movies or listening to the music of those who have died, so why should we do the same when it’s porn. Thank you for the banter!
Hi Rod and Karen,
Regarding the threat to gerrymandering in retaliation for Texas, as a New Yorker, I can 100% promise that Kathy Hochul (Hoe-kull) will do absolutely nothing. She is an “Upstate Democrat” which in NY means Republican-lite. She got picked by Cuomo because she could “speak the language” of the upstate MAGAs in a way that would make them okay with voting for a Democrat. Hochul, does not think the wealthy should be taxed to take some of the weight off of the backs of everyone else. Hochul held a press conference where she discussed how, “Black kids in the Bronx are so deprived that they do not know how to operate computers.” When challenged on her comment/, infamous Trump fuck-boi Mayor Ercicoon Adams defended the Alabaster Angel, basically saying, “Missy Anne didn’t mean no harm, she’s just tying to help us poor Black dummies.”
As an observer, I can also affirm that the likelihood of Gavin Newsome doing anything is nil as well. He is looking to run for higher office, and was among the many who quickly jumped on the Kamala Harris failed to connect with the “Poor, misunderstood, white voter, and she and the Democrats would have been better served by not focusing on Transgender people and identity politics.”
All I have to say is those delusional (read mostly white and those non-whites seeking proximity to whiteness) are getting ready to get a rude awakening. As Karen always explains, just cause you ain’t fighting for your life every hour of the day, doesn’t mean you ain’t in the fight.
In regards to comedy’s role in resistance, there’s a reason why dictators begin by attacking comedy and free speech… When I taught a course on political humor I began with a newspaper excerpt related to this topic. The reason why comedy is important is because a dictator needs the veil of legitimacy to be effective. By delegitimizing the leader, you can make it impossible for them to lead. Just like comedians and pundits were able to delegitimize Biden, who was not a dictator, they can do the same to tyrants.
In other words, we need to treat the situation as a real threat, while using rhetoric to degitimize the entire right wing kleptocracic totalitarian movement. By all means, start with Trump, but given his palor, bruising, and coordination issues, he seems to be suffering from liver and kidney failure and may not be around too long. So it is important to take on the entire movement, especially the supremes.
I’ve been side eyeing Jimmy Fallon since he played in Dump’s hair the first time that turd ran. He’s the weakest of links and I will celebrate when his show is eventually cancelled.
I’d Trick Daddy has nothing else he has plenty of audacity. Looks aside whenever a man his age says older women’s standards are too high they really mean they want someone who will allow him to treat them any kind of way. They want someone with no standards or self esteem. So sad. That’s why so many older men end up alone and miserable. They live in delusion.
That he isn’t ashamed to say, older women have too high standards , and I don’t want to evolve or get better in any way, I want to date someone who thinks, what I’m offering is good enough.
Jimmy Fallon has been persona non grata to me since he first “normalized” the orange dictator back in the 2016 race. He expressed regret previously, but now lets on people like Gutfeld? Even if he’s not the booker for the show, how does it get to this level and he just rolls with it? Is he so afraid of being cancelled, both literally and figuratively, by his employers or audiences? Think about how rich he has to be by now – when is enough enough? If I had millions of dollars, and was threatened with being fired for the audacity to have moral fortitude, I’d gladly walk away from it all with my integrity intact. Fuck Jimmy Fallon, he’s not even that funny.
Hey Rod and Karen,
I remember back during Obama’s presidency hearing a former Bureau of Labor and Statistics employee describe the process of creating the jobs report every month. It’s a very controlled process and they do a lot to limit people on the outside from knowing what’s going on or having any input. Of course, I expect that’ll change a lot now that Trump has installed a puppet to run that department.
I just wanted to add, because the news media doesn’t always do a great job of giving this context, it’s very normal for previous month’s data to be “corrected” when a new report comes out. It happens all the time (well, I guess “happenED” because who knows how this is going to work going forward).
Just wanted to add that, because I don’t know if the person he fired was trying to placate Trump or not, and I know you hate working off of assumptions.
Peace, yall.
I was sweating at the beginning of this episode. I had just bought my ticket and was on my way to see Weapons thanks to Chris Lamberth and Tim Hall talking me into seeing it as I had never seen a trailer. I agree on the movie take.
Fun fact about redistricting blue in NYS, it was already done prior to the 2024 elections in a smart way (I may add) and the highest courts in the state said it was too unfair in favor of Democrats. Despite already being in election window, a redo took place that ended up with the current map that gave some gains to GOP. I bring this up to say while you’re not wrong about white voters (100% on that), if there’s one thing that I know about the GOP, is that they utilize the rules in “Blue” states to enact their destruction and the goddaaaaaaaaam voters let them get away with it. So New York, Illinois, Washington, California, etc can retaliate and draw their maps to a Blue advantage. The state GOP already waiting at the court door to file and whiteness gonna whyyyyyyyte. This is why I feel we are cooked.
Shout-out to Mac Maron and Hunter Biden always!
I don’t see changing the districts the other way working, because when you know that people of color tend to vote democrat, you can target them.
When it comes to whites people, their vote can go either way, and they are 70 % of the population. So in a mostly white area you don’t really know how an Intervention would change the status quo.
Rod has notifications on his news app on? If I had them on, my anxiety would be sky high.
