Everyone else is weighing in on Joe Kent so I guess I might as well.
For those that don’t know, and I assume all of you do, Joe Kent has an impressive resume.
Joe Kent is an American special operations veteran, former Central Intelligence Agency officer, and former government official who served as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) from July 30, 2025, until his resignation on March 17, 2026, citing disagreement over U.S. involvement in the war with Iran. Kent enlisted in the U.S. Army at age 18 as an infantryman, advancing through the Ranger Regiment to Special Forces, where he served over 20 years in combat roles following the September 11 attacks. After retiring from the Army, he worked as a CIA field operative targeting terrorist networks in conflict zones. His wife, Shannon Kent, a fellow special operations and intelligence professional, was killed in the 2019 Manbij bombing in Syria, leaving him a Gold Star husband and father to two sons.
Kent earned six Bronze Stars in his service. In other words he wasn’t a REMF paper pusher in accounting or something. He can officially be said to Have Seen Some Shit.
Few people had heard of him before this week, I remember him running for office and sort of remembered him being appointed to the post of Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Then he resigned this week and all hell broke loose because as the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, it is safe to say he has access to intelligence that you and I do not, although apparently plenty of zionist mouthpieces on Twitter have the same access.
Here is Joe Kent’s tweet and his letter of resignation in case you haven’t seen it:
He committed the cardinal sin in American politics by Naming The Name. You can say whatever you want but you can never, ever blame Israel.
As I said the response has been explosive from the Usual Suspects.
Perhaps the most disturbing part of this is that the grotesque Laura Loomer, a horror show both as a person and in appearance, apparently has the ear of President Trump. The woman (?) is a sociopath but is whispering in the ear of the Orange Man.
On the other hand…
It seems that lots of actual veterans of the Global War on Terror that saw buddies blown up fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are supportive of Joe Kent. Garand Thumb put it succinctly….
When choosing between who to believe, it is my policy to assume that people like Mark Levin, Lindsey Graham, “Cocaine Mitch” McConnell and Laura Loomer are lying on behalf of a foreign country. This is a safe position indeed.
While Joe Kent has by any measure honorably served his country that hasn’t stopped the internet warlords from explaining why he is a “traitor”. “Traitor” is a term that now means “not supporting Israel” over and above “actual treason directed at the U.S.”.
The talking point du jour is that Joe Kent is a “leaker”. Not like needing adult diapers but leaking classified information.
Now if that were true, and it isn’t, and Trump knew about it, he didn’t because it didn’t happen, then why was Kent allowed to resign on his own terms instead of being arrested for treason? We still do that I think. Remember Bradley Manning, the disturbed guy that thinks he is a woman? They put him in a federal slammer, although it was a chick jail instead of a men’s prison where he belonged.
Now he is being investigated by the FBI, allegedly an “Investigation” that started before he resigned which is pretty clearly bullshit. Weird how the boomercons that say they don’t trust the Federal government and especially the FBI will believe whatever they say when it serves Zionist interests. Some people I “internet trust”* are suggesting the “leak” is Mark Levin’s off the books meeting with Trump.
This whole thing isn’t playing well with a lot of people and it is making the schism far worse.
Tucker did a long interview with Joe Kent and let him speak for himself, this is an abbreviated clip (the full interview is over 2 hours and ain’t nobody got time for that):
I know there is some confirmation bias here, I opposed this boondoggle even before it kicked off (and the one last summer), so I am naturally more likely to support someone who says what I already think but Kent strikes me as someone that knows what he is talking about and took a principled stand.
There are some conspiracies on the left, like at The Bulwark, that suggest Kent thinks this will help him with his political career down the road but that is silly. You can’t win in the GOP once Trump turns on you, even Thomas Massie might lose his seat because he refuses to shut up about Epstein and won’t suck off Israel.
Anyway that is enough about this, it will die down by the beginning of next week and the normiecons will be mad about something else. My bottom line, if forced to choose between Joe Kent and Mark Levin in a contest over trust, I choose Kent every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
*People I “Internet Trust” are people I don’t know in person but who have proven over the years to be reliable. Ranges from Matt Bracken to Big Country Expat, John Wilder and Doctor Samizdat among others.
Once a spook, always a spook.
I suggest that [Clark] Kent is yet another psyops just as [Captain] Kirk and his bogus, asinine-ation was a psyops…..
2 fictitious heros of jingoistic americana.
Kirk and Kent. Kohencidence? I suspect not.
Crazy how the world turns I wonder if Mister Kent at the end of all this will realize we’ve been doing Isntreals dirty work for much too long and will he understand he fought and lost a lot of very valuable people and things including his wife for a satanic cult that hates him with every fiber of their being, and now that he said I’m done with you, they are showing what they thought of him all along…Sad That so many have shed their blood and the blood of others for Moloch/Satan…
part of Satan’s deception, Brother, was convincing modern religious fools that Ashkenazis and Kazarians are the Biblical Israelites… which they are not. Of course to tell them this truth, you are an antisemitic racist homophobic misogynist Bible-thumping deplorable far right gun owning… (did I forget anything?)
Anyway, we’re fucked and the only way to unfuck this is a fight.
That seems to be the path a lot of them are on, realizing all of the sacrifice wasn’t for America but Israel.
🎯
I’m 100% opposed to the Iran war, and I back Joe Kent. Trump has been led down a primrose path, and it’s liable to be the death of his Presidency. Much capital – human, financial, and political – is being spent fighting Israel’s war. Joe Kent has more right to talk than anyone – to be a warrior and to lose his wife in a Middle East war is a high level of credibility.
I’ve evolved significantly on this issue. I used to consider myself “anti-anti-Semitic,” and I found constant Jew-blaming and Israel-blaming tiresome. In some ways, I still do. The IDF is, pound for pound, one of the strongest armed forces on the planet – definitely better than ours on a pound-for-pound basis because they haven’t been “led” by faggots and trannies. And, I fully believe that Israel has the right to do whatever they need to in order to defend their country. If that means depopulating Gaza and the rest of “Palestine,” then that’s what it means.
That said – I’ve made a big pivot on the issue of American Jews and Israel’s influence over our foreign policy. There’s no doubt whatsoever that Netanyahu rolled Trump on this one. I’m very fucking tired of it. Israel has the right to fight its own wars, and if they were to establish hegemony in the Middle East on their own, so be it. But they don’t have the right to drag us and our boys into it.
And, of course, come fall, 80% of Jews will reliably vote Democrat, as they always do, no matter how much Jew ass Trump kisses. Everystein. Singleberg. Timeowicz. It gets really fucking old.
I used to recoil at the “Itz da jooz!” stuff and I think some of that is controlled oppposition that try to tarnish everyone red pilled on the JQ
Skeptic: Either you’re a pre-programmed young pup Zio-Christian Evangelist sent here to coerce by using verbose preachy religio-political propaganda, or you’re a frustrated spy, monitoring other people’s thoughts while at a computer in a Unit 8200 office like an NKVD agent.
Nice word salad.
And, I fully believe that Israel has the right to do whatever they need to in order to defend their country. If that means depopulating Gaza and the rest of “Palestine,” then that’s what it means.
So you mean we can cleanse this country of everyone non white and you won’t raise a bit of objection…I fucking highly doubt that…
Yeah, if only we could impose the same standard of cleansing our homeland as the tribe, without so much as a word of objection being allowed. Maybe we need to co-opt their own scam; just claim we’re all jews, and that anyone trying to stop us from fulfilling the destiny God chose for (or even noticing our trying to do so) us is a virulent anti-semite and needs to STFU. Of course, in reality, we’d quickly come to find that the “it’s different when WE do it” rule is still in effect. And yet somehow, those who “stand with israel” remain entirely incapable of seeing or acknowledging the hypocrisy of this blatant double standard. Fuckers.
“So you mean we can cleanse this country of everyone non white and you won’t raise a bit of objection…I fucking highly doubt that…”
You doubt it because you know nothing about me. I’d be quite happy to assist in putting them on the boats. Or airplanes. Or helicopters. Or catapults.
The level of binary thinking is hilarious.
LMAO…
All I’m going off of is what you write on here and my opinion still stands that you would object by the way you worded both of your statements…
For Isntreal
If that means depopulating Gaza and the rest of “Palestine,” then that’s what it means.
For the US
I’d be quite happy to assist in putting them on the boats. Or airplanes. Or helicopters. Or catapults.
While I did not know much about Kent before all of this, I was aware of his presence in the admin. Since you and I share the same “trusted” sources there has been quite the bias showing on behalf of those that protest too much. Fuck them!
I primarily supported Orange Man because of the “no wars” stance. After 25 years we are all war weary. And with what brandon did in Affy, the incompetence of .mil brass is astounding to say the least. How can they fuck this op up? I am sure they will find a way and do it proudly.
Joe Kent felt his conscience speak and now will be paid back for loyalty with more pain. The only silver in this death cloud is rumors of Bibis chips getting cashed. Although it may result in nukes getting lobbed that they “dont” have. The entire middle east could get glassed and I would be ok with it. Fuck. Them. All.
Tom762
I am pretty sure he is alive unfortunately
I don’t think Trump was “led down the primrose path” or was rolled by Netanyahu. No one has been elected to the presidency of the US that wasn’t controlled by the jews. At least since the formation of the Federal Reserve.Trump married his daughter off to a jew, Jared Kushner, who was very involved in Trump’s first term. His “mentor” was Roy Cohn. What has confused people about Trump is that he has said things that make it appear that he is on our side. He was elected the first time partially because he “promised” he would built The Wall. Did he? Did he actually accomplish anything in our favor during his first term? Oh, that’s right! He gave us Operation Warpspeed. Thanks, Donnie! It is one thing to say something. It is another thing to do it. This term, he promised to punish those that fixed the election, uncover the waste of money that the government and politicians have bankrupted us for, and no more wars. Oh sure, some waste was exposed to view, but has anything useful been done about it? And now, he is acting like an unstable narcissist that will lose the 2026 House and Senate elections. Talk is cheap and action speaks louder than words. Remember, Trump was involved in professional wrestling before he was a politician, so he knows how to kayfabe. He is not our friend and doesn’t care what happens to us. I am even at the point that I think the first assassination attempt was just theater, and he was never in any danger. The 2nd “attempt” was laughable. And now he is jettisoning former allies because they are pointing out things that he should know (and does). He just follows P. T. Barnum’s dictum, “There’s a sucker born every minute”.
I am not sure Trump is smart enough for that, he might really be getting snookered by flatterers and sycophants and his tendency to jettison anyone that pushes back means he is getting fed bullshit all day
I don’t think it is a matter of intelligence. His business career over the decades indicate he is not a total idiot. No, he does what he is told, just like every politician in Washington D. C. and most State Capitals. If he was snookered by flatterers and sycophants, I don’t think he could’ve accumulated the wealth that he did since one of the marks of a successful businessman is having a built in bullshit detector for people. Plus, who would he turn to for counsel if everyone around him is playing him for a fool? Four years as president, four years in the wilderness, and he learned nothing? Sure, Biden didn’t in his 4 years, but he had dementia. I’m sure that at some point, someone had sat him down and said, “Listen, Donnie, you can ride the gravy train, but you need to follow orders. If you follow Satan’s orders, we will pay you in silver. If not, we will pay you in lead.” And that probably happened years before he was told to run for President. Of course, he could have taken the ticket to the Big Club that we ain’t in years ago and that guaranteed his business success.
Just read that the Pentagram is asking for $200 billion more.
Get to work loser, Israel uber alles ain’t cheap
The Iranians called it the Israel First tax.
Fun trivia-No Persian empire has fallen since Alexander the Great.
Kent is the real deal with 11 tours and wife KIA, chickenhawks like Lady Graham and Marky Levin need to STFU.
Hegseth even rolled out some bullshit story about his 13 year old to pull at the heart strings
Something I’ve been wondering: if a parenthetical tribalist is outraged by the conduct or actions of a non-jew, does that make it a Goy Vey? These fucking small hats, all in lockstep and getting their canned tweet content from schlomo central. If they didn’t wield such influence, it would be laughable to see these mass produced pronouncements of emotionally driven verbal diarrhea. Regrettably, this bullshit seems to hold sway in some quarters (like the oval office, for example).
I want a special edition see ‘n say (that toy we had as kids where you pulled out the string, and it made the sound of a farm animal you had the rotating pointer on). One of the choices needs to be my picture, along with the recording “the Ruckus says go fuck yourself”. Mel Gibson gets a spot on the wheel too, with his voice saying “every single time”. Maybe I should whip an image of that up in Photoshop, it’d make a great meme. We can call it the semite ‘n spite. Could even do a special edition German language version, that’d be a big hit.
Oh, and laura loomer looks like a pre-op transfaggot posing as a post-op transfaggot. That is all.
Pictures of her look like they were photoshopped but she really is that horrific looking. People that ugly should be forced to live on an island where normal people don’t have to see them
Yeah, we could use that island they used to send lepers to. And just think, if laura loomer had leprosy, her dick might fall off.
Oy Gey!
Ok Observer, you get the golden internet burn of the day award with that one. Well played.
Yea that was a perfect response…You both need to take some time off and come visit because we would have a blast…
ROTFLMAO 😂😂😂
I have met her in person, without makeup. I needed Braino to get the image out of my head. She is hideous, inside and out.
IMHO, Kent is a dead man walking.
His resignation letter should have read “I wish to tender my resignation as Director of the National Counterterrorism Centre from XX/XX/2026 (or “with immediate effect)” and left it at that. Least said, soonest mended and all that.
Now he comes across as a bitter and vindictive name calling man that maybe couldn’t hack the job. No doubt that will be how he is portrayed.
Plus, insulting the 1.50’s (ten to two’s = Jews) will go down like a cup of cold vomit and he has painted a target on his back, forehead and chest.
Israel is America’s greatest ally? Could someone please explain and detail actually WHEN Israel has supported America with troops, materiel and/or other kinds of support anytime or anywhere? I’ll not hold my breath waiting …
I don’t think they will straight up kill him but they will certainly try to destroy him as a person
à la Princess Diana
One of his kids.
Yea I don’t think he gives a flying fuck about that…I’m sure made his peace with death already and has chosen to live honorably by telling the truth…
Another gov’t employee bites the dust and the productive people are better off for it.
I have no use for any of them.
(you’d think that after 20+ years in gov’t employ he’d know that the thing the gov’t does best is destroy everything it encounters.)
He learned what a lot of people have learned that tried to change the system from the inside, it can’t be fixed except by fire
I see we have a new hall monitor and it’s a daisy…Wonder what part of Isntreal they are posting from…
How I love das innernets, bomb bomb Iran for Israel is costing $24,000 a second.
Tax time is coming up serf, no shirking.
Don’t worry, higher oil prices are good for globohomo corporations! Winning!
I think the current preferred “fox newsism” must be “short term pain for long term gain”. I keep hearing normiecons and ziocucks who support the war saying that shit, so someone plugged a thumb drive into their NPC brain ports to receive that fresh upload sometime in the last 4-5 days. It just has that “two weeks to flatten the curve” manufactured catchphrase feel to it.
There is a lot of fucking dumb people out there Brother…The Walking Dead in essence…
Fully agreed. I just find the “back end process” of how a catch phrase is launched and propagates throughout the (compliant idiot) population at large takes place. COVID was a real peek behind the curtain, as far as that goes. Think back to all the stupid bumper stickerisms that came out of it: “2 weeks to flatten the curve”, “we’re all in this together”, “the science”, “safe and effective”, “horse paste”.
They are handed down to the fearful mid-wits by the TV and internet, in much the same way God gave Moses the tablets with the Ten Commandments on them. And within a week or two of their rollout, every moronic self styled expert (read: mindless narrative followers) had been programmed to repeat them ad nauseum like a toy doll that plays one of a handful of phrases over and over, with no regard for context. This current case of “short term pain for long term gain” is cut from the same (whole) cloth.
Other historical incidents of this effect were “we have to fight them over there, so we don’t have to fight them here”, and one I found particularly irritating back during the 2008 financial crisis were the cheerleaders on CNBC and the like constantly shouting “green shoots” about any positive bit of economic data they could scrounge up as a deflection from the mountains of bad news. And who could forget the classics “racist”, “anti-semite”, and “homophobe”. Those are probably the V1.0 triumvirate of this effect.
I guess my point is that once you’ve noticed this behavior, and how propaganda phrases are literally “plugged in” to the brain of the recipients like a software update, to be repeated like an autonomic response to any challenge, it totally destroys the illusion that most humans actually have free will. The number who are so readily manipulable is crushing to consider, because of the implication is that we can never escape the hard limits imposed upon us by this collective idiocy. At least not without turning hundreds of millions into pig food.
Dood
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You really should have your own page somewhere, anywhere. I’ll be your first subscriber, and I’ll bring at least 10 other people along.
It’s like you go rootin’ around in my tree and pull out random stuff and fill in the blanks with your own stuff and throw it back out there and instantly it’s recognizable, of course, but so much more.
I truly appreciate that, never expected my ramblings would garner that sort of interest. Sometimes I get on a roll, but I doubt my output could be consistent enough to maintain my own joint. I also tend to get burned out easily, and the overriding concern is that if I had my own blog, I would place the expectation on myself to effort post too frequently, and would fall off rapidly.
I’ve watched that happen too many times already to smart guys I really enjoyed reading, who ended up flaming out and quitting completely after trying to keep up a pace of 3-4 (or more) posts per week. I’m just not cut out to be that productive of a writer over the long term. One has to be of a certain mindset to write like that, and I’m not; except in fits and starts.
There is also the fact that staying immersed in bad news all the time (which I’m already too close to doing) just to scrounge up the basis for writing a piece on some current event can really wear a guy down. With the present war bullshit, I can already tell I’m paying it too much attention, as it’s having deleterious effects on my energy and motivation to get other important shit done. Being self employed, I need to stay focused on hustling up work, keeping my customers happy, and paying the bills.
Bottom line, by limiting myself to commenting when and where the urge hits me, I can put what I consider worthwhile remarks out in the wild without placing undue pressure on myself. Again though, I appreciate that anyone thinks that well of my remarks to actually say so.
You are definitely a wordsmith Brother and we always appreciate your poast…
I understand. I started 2 blogs back in the 00’s (1 architecture and 1 woodworking, my vocation and past time) and both flamed out after a couple months due to the reasons you’ve mentioned.
I also agree with the burning out thing, I’m suffering heavily right now from internet saturation and trying to pull back. I don’t need to know everything right now, especially when most of it goes against my sensibilities.
We cross paths on various venues so I’ll be content to read your well written comments.
Thanks. I concur with the general sense of burnout that clown world inculcates in those of us inclined to keep a vigilant eye on it. I can almost begin to understand 2hy NPC’s watch mindless drivel on TV and YouTube, and drink to excess all to escape reality; our big picture reality sucks. But, my logical mind is not wired to overlook all this stuff, and so I’m compelled to comment on it, sometimes even at length.
Really, if I were to start my own blog, I’d rather it be about something positive that interests me. I like working on cars and old electronics (stuff like tube amps and pinball machines) and would much rather expound on those subjects in which I have real expertise and knowledge to share, than to constantly harp on politics.
Certainly there is an appetite for politically charged commentary, but I feel like the field is already saturated, even if one is a standout on the quality of their content. I’m just thankful our gracious host continues to provide us this forum in which to converse over otherwise forbidden subjects.
I’m relying partly because you deserve recognition for your excellent commentary, but also to see if this site can publish this very comment in a column width of single characters…..
“Replying.”
There is reason they call us cattle because most act just like a cow on its way to slaughter…So tiresome that people are content to chew their cud until they are culled…

I intended to include Big Ruckus D in my praise of commentary as well, but I missed yours while scrolling.
Come for Arthur, stay for Big Ruckus.
Thank you Observer, much appreciated.
When the SHTF it would be nice to link up with like-minded folks who know which end is up.
We are told constantly that the “Lone Wolf”–no matter how well-prepped–will not survive without tribe (the not-((())) type of tribe).
I’ve got nobody at my six so I am FQ’D.
Hence the BlackPilling…..
I get that. I have *some* like minded folks around me, but it’s a small contingent. And I’ve no way of really knowing how truly committed they are. But, as they say at the track, you run what you brung. I know it’s a cop out, but the impracticality of relocating (my entire remaining family – mom, siblings, nieces and nephews) is all still local to the place we were born and raised) as well as my work (self employed construction tradesman) built on 25 years of busting my ass is all right here.
I own my home free and clear, and am in a place that is politically “red” (for what little that’s worth) with reasonably low taxes overall (both state and local) and minimal aggravation in regulating my line of work. Walking away from all of that and starting over fresh is a seriously tough sell. Deep down I know I’d probably be better off long term in a more solidly White, less populated area of like minded men, but the immediate (and longer term) sacrifices of doing so just makes it too high a bar to get over.
And believe me, I reassess that decision on a regular basis. More than anything, I cannot bring myself to leave my family behind, as I know there’s no way they’d all follow me, and I feel an obligation to be nearby to assist when needed. My mom is getting up in age, and my one younger brother has some health issues that cause me ongoing concern. In good conscience, I can’t be 1000 miles away if something happens and I need to be available on short notice. So, I’m kind of stuck where I’m at, for better or worse.
IMO, you are in a good place: family (tribe), work & friends (more tribe) and many good reasons to fight in their defense/survival. If you have a reliable source of water and arable land then that’s where to make your stand!
This ain’t an airport, just leave without the announcements.
If Israel got itself bombed into oblivion how soon after would there be lasting peace in the middle East?
Don’t kid yourself – that will never happen. The Muslims and Arabs are a savage, warlike people who hate each other. For instance, Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims wish to wipe each other off the face of the Earth. Right now, they hate Jews slightly more than they hate each other, so they are somewhat “united” against the Jew. It’s no different than how the Dems have the browns and blacks “united” against Whitey, even though the various breeds hate each other as well.
Don’t ennoble these people.
This I can agree with. Islam will never stop fucking around with anyone/anyplace that isn’t solidly islamic, so long as any competing systems exist. It is the very nature of the islamic system to be overtly antagonistic, and to actively seek conquest of the entire planet. They are compelled to do so at the most fundamental level, and thus they cannot be reasoned or coexisted with.
What is sort of “funny” is that if they ever did achieve full dominance the world over, they’d be at each other’s throats the very next day. There cannot, in point of fact, ever be peace as long as islam exists anywhere on Earth. Not even if it was the only ideology all that existed here.
However, the jews (at least a significant subset of them) are also like this, it’s just their methods differ with a preference for sneaky subversion from within, rather than face to face conflict from without. Islam also does this to a lesser extent, as a fallback position until they gain critical mass. Jews choose it at their primary modus operandi, with the justifying cover story that they are “repairing the world”. They work more like termites, compromising the structural supports of a country and culture over long time frames, until one day the have managed to destroy a host that had been gracious enough to accommodate them. And they’ve done so repeatedly throughout recorded history, which is precisely why they’ve been repeatedly banished from a multitude of locales.
If there were only two muzzies left alive on Earth they would kill each other for the sin of “Apostasy.”
“Aloha Snackbar.”
I love that phrase “Aloha Snackbar.”
Whenever I am talking about muzzies and use that term, I look for comprehension in the person I’m talking to, and almost without fail, they don’t know what I mean.
So when I ask if they understand (No), and then explain it, they (usually) get a chuckle out of it.
A favorite author had a character espouse as opinion on muslims.
“I would kill them all until the Allfather cried out in horror and the Sun bled!”
I am fully in agreement.
Hmmm. That sounds like Mountain Tigers to me.
I keep hearing isreal is our bestest ally. In what universe did that happen?. South Korea has proven to be a far greater ally then isreal has been. Since 1950.
Japan has been a better ally than Israel, and that’s even after they bombed Pearl Harbor. Which Trump so graciously reminded the Japanese PM of today in a real “did that fucker just say what I think he said?” moment.
Mr. Kent saw what he saw, knew what he knew, and decided to pick up his marbles and go home. I was angered today due to watching the quitter, Dan Bongino, go absolutely shouting crazy over the interview Joe Kent did with Tucker Carlson. Bongino called Kent everything but a traitor and flew into an absolute wild-eyed rage about Kent’s statement about Charlie Kirk. Bongino is nuts.
Bongino went on to rant about Trump, saying these people (Owens, Megan Kelly, etc.) will not blame Trump but just the people around him and that Isreal is not walking Trump but Trump dog-walks everyone else. However, the elephant in the room is Bongino quit way before Kent. What were his reasons? Kent, agree with him or not, had the integrity to state he would not go along with the Iran-Israel-Golden Golem clown show. Why did this hypocrite Bongino walk away? Was there ever a verifiable reason? Or did he look at the extent of the lawless corruption going on and decide, even as a Deputy Director of the Famous But Incompetent, he could not handle it? And speaking of the FBI, now they are building a case against Kent. He tells the truth and leaves and MAGA wants his scalp. Shades of the NKVD. I hope Mr. Kent has a food taster. Life is a vale of tears.
The difference is that Bongino never said anything but what he was directed to. Remember his statement on the Epstein case where he looked like a hostage reading a script? Yeah. Kent, meanwhile, has chosen principles over self preservation by sticking his reasons up Trump’s ass and breaking them off in a very public way, as part of his resignation notice.
So, Kent can walk with his conscience intact, but very likely is on an official hit list now, as a result. The FBI investigation and all the hateful jews slagging him online is phase one of the retribution. Meanwhile, Bongino the clown shitbum was allowed to go back to his podcast (undoubtedly with much reduced listenership now) and stay alive, but at the cost of the perception of his image and character.
I guess some guys could live with that. I couldn’t, but then I would never serve in any government capacity to begin with, as I know it’s all shit, and would require me to compromise my beliefs and principles just to get the gig. I also have no desire to be famous or well liked; never have. That makes it much easier for me to avoid entrapment in sketchy bullshit.
I think I listened to Bongina for about a week when he took over Rush’s time slot. That was all I needed to know that he’s very much like Kurt Schlichter – they like to look like they’re badass rebels, but at the end of the day, there’s as controlled as any “opposition” has ever been.
I saw a clip of him being critiqued while doing a little impromptu martial arts demo on the set of his podcast recently. It was embarrassing to watch, and brought back memories of the nerdy guy in high school who claims to be a black belt in some discipline or another, throwing out a few moves at an imaginary opponent to try and convince everyone he’s a certified badass. It was a try-hard moment, and really made him look clownish.
Not that I ever placed much weight in anything he said. He was no replacement for Rush, just a guy who got his job. And I know Rush was just a gateway drug to the poltiical right, but he was effective and believable in that role. Bongino just isn’t.
“Meanwhile, Bongino the clown shitbum was allowed to go back to his podcast (undoubtedly with much reduced listenership now)….”
Listenership? I would not tune in to Bongino if he were the only weatherman on the only station broadcasting during a Cat 5 hurricane.
That’s how devoid of credibility is Bongino–who beclowned himself forevermore. Maybe he can learn to code???
It just might be this scenario. The end of the world as we know it aka “TEOTWAWKI.” Reminds me of that poster that you’d see back in the 1960’s, “10 things to do in the event of a nuclear attack.” Number 10 said it all, “Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.” Could happen.
I built two “Kearny fallout meters” (KFMs).
