I joined Shane Yirak and Nick Paro to trauma dump the horrors of the TESCREAL movement. That’s the Silicon Valley religion/cult driving the technofascism destroying our world right now.

It sounds crazy because it is, but when you combine crazy with the unlimited money of the billionaires, that’s a recipe for disaster on a global scale.

Thank you Nick Paro, Robert Sawers, Steven Rosenzweig, Violet Hunter, Romaine Voigt, and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.

I was a guest on Nick Paro’s show along with Coach Cap. We raged at RFK Jr. and his eugenics cruelty towards the autism community, spat on Nazis, and took a dip into biblical prophecy. We also took a little geeky sidetrip before getting back to the matter at hand, hating on RFK Jr., the Plague Bringer.

I also introduced Nick and Cap to the TESCREAL movement, for which I deeply apologize. Ignorance is bliss, and I ruined that for them.

Anyway! Come watch!

After a rough start with all kinds of technical difficulties, we managed to pull it together and deliver a fantastic show! Believe me, no one was more surprised than we were at how good the audio came out!

Anywho! Come join Florida Woman Rants and me as we tear into this whole “Charlie Kirk the little shitweasel Nazi is a martyr” crap the media is selling before we move on to all of the other trash this fascist regime is shoveling to deflect from Epstein and the crumbling economy.

Elections are coming and time is running out. Tik-Tok, motherfuckers.

The regime is going so far into crazytown that not every Republican is comfortable riding the Trump Train to disaster. Will the tiny bit of pushback grow, or will they lose their nerve? We’re going to find out soon enough.

Special Commentary: After we finished recording the show, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in Utah. I recorded a segment and put it before the regular show.

This was another terrible week for the regime so they did what they do best: Lied about everything. The problem is that they’re really bad at lying and the only people who believe them are braindead idiots and Jake Tapper.

But despite the firehose of bullshit, you have me and Florida Woman to cut through the noise with some jokes and a lot of righteous anger. Fuck fascism and fuck the enablers. #NurembergThemAll

The Trump regime, like the entire Republican Party, is cruel for the sake of cruelty. It serves no greater purpose other than to fill the endless void where their souls should be.

That means the regime enacts pointless stupid policies for no other reason than to inflict pain and suffering on those they hate. It’s important to understand this and not let it exhaust you. Stay strong, you are not alone.

Here’s the unedited live video if you want to watch a cute puppet! We also have a whole conversation about Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois we cut from the pod so enjoy!
