Marc Maron rips “hacks” Joe Rogan & co. for punching down at trans people, immigrants etc. even after they’ve had their rights stripped and are now living in fear.

Trump is doing exactly what MAGA has been ranting about for years—covering up Epstein ties, protecting elite pedophile rings, silencing victims, and giving safe harbor to child sex traffickers.
And he’s doing it in plain sight.

If you’d told me a decade ago that the NYT and WaPo would roll over for a Republican president going full fascist while the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal went on the attack — and that Bill Kristol was pressing the attack harder than Nancy Pelosi — well, I’d have had you committed.
