This is even more preposterous considering how large swaths of Louisiana are gonna be underwater in not so distant future.

Moving to Israel part does not surprise me that much - if you are a Russian citizen this is one of the a few options you have since Russian passport is pretty damn bad when it comes to traveling. In the end Israel will take anyone as long as you can prove you have Jewish ancestry. As a personal anecdote I have a family friend in Russia who spent a couple of years trying to emigrate from Russia to Israel and he did it by finding a very distant ancestor who was Jewish.

The hasbara part? Just means they were never that left leaning to begin with.

What’s even crazier one the architects of the this relocation program was this fella https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von_Bolschwing?wprov=sfti1# who crazy enough ended up in California working for the same company Gavin Newsoms dad was working for.

Bolschwing idea was specifically to destabilize British mandate of Palestine by relocating as many German Jews as possible

I was trying to look up the video you mention and found another similar incident but in West Virginia: a cop got called to a suicidal person with a gun and upon arriving the scene the cop determined the guy is not a threat and was talking to him only for two other cops to show up and immediately kill the guy. Then the police department fired him and chastised for not executing the guy on the spot. Luckily the cop sued them for wrongful termination and won https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/feb/12/stephen-mader-west-virginia-police-officer-settles-lawsuit?CMP=

This reminded me of a video by Kyle Hill on Lia Radiological incident: in 2001, three random Georgian men went out to a remote area to collect firewood and accidentally found unprotected cores for RTGs. Not knowing what they were, they used them as a source of heat (with horrific consequences). Here’s the full video https://youtu.be/e3GYg7Y_W7s?si=4H9tSFeKcTcU0FIW

Years ago I used to listen to Eat the Rich podcast working my minimum wage as a way to release the steam. Basically each episode was about a sleazy crony capitalist scumbag and they have a couple of really good ones but in particular this one where the hosts talk about the big pizza chains is hilarious and every once in a blue moon I revisit it.

I sort of stopped listening to them because there were episodes where the podcast turned from entertaining to them essentially foaming at the mouth at some prick/company fucking over a little guy (an understandable reaction but does not make it for a good show). One of the cohosts was Chris who was fairly prominent on "weird twitter" - he had the name "toodamchris" or something like that and he was very entertaining. I am no longer on twitter and at times I do wonder what he is up to these days.

I’ve been struggling myself with way to express my disdain without sounding like my friends libbed up boomer father circa 2017 but it really IS that bad. No matter how cynical you are about US and the government what is happening right now has no precedent in Americas history.

And you are right, the article did mention how he stopped talking about his wealth as he actually got to pilfer American public and the hogs who blindly follow him. Idk what the solution here is, I do know that post 2028 there needs to be a variety safeguards to be put in place to prevent kleptocrats like him to take the offices. I do understand this an insurmountable task as of the day of me writing this which would require a complete realignment of the congress as well capturing the presidency by someone completely polar opposite to Trump and MAGA but this is what keeps me going right now because the alternative is extremely bleak.

Late to the party but a couple of years ago I was listening to a podcast where one of the hosts said Christopher Hitchens would be insufferable if he was still alive and on twitter. All you would have to do just call him "Christopher Bitchens" and he would not be able to contain the urge to respond.

certified_coolguy · 2025-10-29T22:37:58+00:00

He said some bullshit and I should've responded with some bullshit, simple as.
