    I haven’t read the book either but I heard this Lolita podcast series and it was a great breakdown about how it was misinterpreted. I couldn’t believe everything I knew about it from mainstream media was off.

    Will definitely be checking out your video!

    I’m too tired to look it up, but I remember someone saying that resilience or grit was one of the best indicators of success. Someone replied that actually the best indicator of success is if you came from wealth.

    I remember a lot of it was weird. It’s was like he “only” had a high school diploma and his ex-girlfriend was a model. Like the most pointless crap you’ve heard of. He’s a patriot, he saw a lot of bad crap going on. He tried to report it and then he gave up his freedom to let us know. I’m not sure I could do it either.







  • Yeah he doesn’t need a break now or perhaps one day per week is enough … he literally said that he was looking for an outlet for his opinions or whatever on the upcoming election.

    What’s funny or sad is that I saw an interview where they were talking about his influence and Jon was saying that he had little influence because most of the things he didn’t want to happen have happened over his career.


  • Hang on, so the president instituted a vaccine mandate but the supreme court shot it down. How’s that fascist? I did mention that vaccine mandates aren’t actually new.

    If things are done at the state level isn’t that dependent upon the state? How’s that a blue thing? Were only blue states affected? Would you mind linking to any articles about this?

    I mean I think removing Roe V Wade was far more damaging than any of that stuff. I thought seizing the supreme court was messed up.
