Highlighting and keeping receipts on post-left (right-wing politics with vaguely leftist aesthetics) pundits and podcasters.
Feels like the Indiana Hoosiers are a complete team this year and nearly unbeatable. Reminds me of the best Nick Saban Alabama teams.

I feel very confident they will crush Oregon and Miami.

Matt Taibbi says that America should've taken Iraq's oil when they invaded.

"And as for the Iraq oil thing, I was all in favor, like if we were there, yeah, let's take it... I guess the idea of turning it over to the Iraqi people, but I don't know, I felt a little more mercenary about that."

Matt Taibbi believes America is in an "undeclared civil war" because "the federal government in many places is not respecting state authority, state authorities are refusing to respect federal authority, they're making dueling announcements".

Seems like a mild civil war.

Matt Taibbi is very peeved about Zohran Mamdani talking about "collectivism".

Taibbi: "Trotsky's been dead for how long, and we've gotta exhume him to have him write these speeches again?"

Walter Kirn says that the song "Fortunate Son" is not an anti-war anthem, but is actually a class anthem, and is in fact a pro-military anthem for today's military because the troops aren't "fortunate sons" and they do cool things.

Matt Taibbi agrees.

Matt Taibbi: To Protect Free Speech, I’m Suing the Man Who Defamed Me
There’s a difference between censorship, which prevents speech, and seeking restitution for a harmful lie already in print. That's why I'm suing the man who defamed me, writes Matt Taibbi.

Matt Taibbi conveniently hasn't posted anything about Trump invading Venezuela, but his podcast co-host Walter Kirn has, and he supports it, calling Venezuela (and Greenland) the "new Reich".

Poorly-aged interview from March 2024:

George Galloway calls Trump "the leader of the anti-war movement".

Jimmy Dore agrees, and says that's a big reason why "they wanted to get rid of Donald Trump".

John Mearsheimer, Oct. 3 2024: "I think that Biden's basic instincts are those of a warmonger, and I think that's not true of Trump. I think Trump is not that interested in fighting wars."

Matt Taibbi has been melting down over Zohran Mamdani saying "collectivism" and now he's comparing Mamdani to Stalin.

Cenk Uygur thinks a "Green-Red alliance" could be possible with Jill Stein and her former V.P. and Green Party California gubernatorial candidate Butch Ware.

Matt Taibbi, Mr. Free Speech, says "I’m obligated to sue" writers like Eoin Higgins who criticize him.

He's a giant hypocrite and the world's biggest baby.

Checking up on this. How did this one turn out?
Matt Taibbi says it's really funny that Bari Weiss might take over CBS News.

His reasoning is that a few years ago Stephen Colbert had "dancing vaccine propaganda" and now they're potentially run by Weiss, who he calls a "Substack dominatrix".

When Matt Taibbi accepted the award, he said he was grateful to Dave Rubin and pointed out Aaron Maté from The Grayzone in the audience and thanked him for his support.

I love to point out what a massive piece of shit Norman Finkelstein is. Here, in this Apr. 2023 clip, he's defending Matt Taibbi after Mehdi Hasan tore him up in an interview about the Twitter Files, and Finkelstein is really pissed off at Hasan.
This is a clip from Apr 2023. Norman Finkelstein attacks Mehdi Hasan and calls him a "sewer rat" and "woke avenger" over his interview with Matt Taibbi, and says Taibbi is "such a nice guy", "principled and decent", and laments that Taibbi didn't call Hasan a "sack of shit" and "sewer rat".

Ana Kasparian praises Tucker Carlson. She praises his frequent guest, Douglas Macgregor, who is a far-right Russian propagandist. Calls Tucker influential with the anti-war left, and says he "brings up some thought-provoking points on a lot of issues that I care about."

Aaron Maté says that Trump's statement gloating about Rob Reiner's murder is "sick".

...But then Maté says that Reiner "did have Trump Derangement Syndrome, I think, I actually think that Trump was right about that" and adds that Reiner "succumbed to the Russiagate mania".

Jimmy Dore claims that the Australian mass shooting at Bondi Beach was a "false flag" by Mossad, and his proof is "If a Muslim wants to go shoot Jewish people, why would they go to Australia to do it?"

And then he reads a Candace Owens tweet claiming she predicted this.
