@jpodhoretz@jamesbmeigs@AbeGreenwald@SethAMandel One question: Why are there just a single COVID documentary on Netflix, and just a smattering (some look a bit critical re: public health response) on Amazon Prime. Calling Dinesh DiSouza please! Thanks for a great pod today!
@EliLake@jpodhoretz@AbeGreenwald@SethAMandel Eli: love ya bro, but cut @realDonaldTrump some slack on Covid: Russiagate raging, media + 50.00% of county hates him, and he wasn't a doctor. Also, the "Red Govs" really had the power to start re-opening, which they rightly did.
@jpodhoretz@AbeGreenwald@SethAMandel I know she's Jewish, but unfortunately @NYPDPC should deploy the police in the areas where these attacks on Jews are occurring, and make @NYCMayor and/or @NYCCouncil fire her, can't just "resign" - the Mufti of NYC will say "I didn't do it"
@continetti@jpodhoretz@SethAMandel Matt: I wanted to like The Boroughs, but couldn't past all the "old people weed-smoking", and sorry, Geena Davis bedding the "hot security guard" strained credulity. Geena Davis c. "Earth Girls Are Easy"? All night long . . .
@ossoff Such a tough guy in hearings! Where were you when Ketanji Brown Jackson couldn't answer what a woman was during her confirmation hearings? I'd argue WAY more important question than potential DNI director being asked about 2020 and yet (sadly) she still got some GOP votes
@SethAMandel@jpodhoretz Seth, thanks for the nice words about Christine - I'll miss hearing her. And I did buy a hardcover copy of her book, and loved it. Had to wrap my head around "media", "mediation", "mediating", but it was great - never really thought about that word much.
@JonahDispatch I thought the "what is the US up to" fourth wall might have become a factor in the finale, but kinda glad they didn't go there. Still you'd think that US would have some idea of "comings and goings" from Earth orbit . . . even in early 1970s
@jpodhoretz I loved the "Congressional Replacement Theory" today, but I thought @JonahDispatch said that's "a no-go". To be clear - it can't "not be a thing"; importing millions of illegals has to have an effect - call it "replacement" or not. #floodthezone
@ChrisStirewalt@JonahRemnant Chris, you're being hard on poor CA; it's not like they have any computers or tech there to help them with really hard problems like vote counting . . .
@jpodhoretz@AbeGreenwald@JonahDispatch The extent to which the press hyperventilates re: gas prices is really astounding when you look at it historically. I hate high gas prices, but I do like that we've killed tons of "bad Iran" in this, can't say "what I got" during Biden
