The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal
Episode 920: President Queeg
This week we dive into why platforming fascists is always a terrible idea, using Mehdi Hasan's recent Jubilee debate as our cautionary tale. We examine how these staged confrontations accomplish nothing except providing content for right-wing sites and turning wannabe fascists into MAGA heroes.
We break down the employment reality behind Connor Estelle's firing (spoiler: it's called "at-will employment," not "cancellation") and marvel at how quickly the grift machine turned his unemployment into a nearly $40K GoFundMe payday.
Then we turn to the real story everyone's trying to avoid: Trump's massive pedophile coverup and the GOP's desperate scramble to shut down any discussion of the Epstein files. We watch Mike Johnson literally shut down the House rather than allow a vote on transparency, while Trump pulls out his greatest hits of Obama derangement and treason accusations to distract his base.
Recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance, where stupid Watergate just keeps getting stupider.
