I feel so insane, my parents are saying this election was stolen, thank you chapos for your clarity

Literally, just going by the ads, Kamala was running on border security and Trump was running on protecting Medicare and Social Security. It was like the fucking Upside-Down.

Wtf is going on? Where can I easily find the latest Chapo episode? SoundCloud is turning to shit

Welcome to TrueAnon Presents: The Lamest Show on Earth, a three-part mini series on the phenomenon that is Tesla Motors and the carnival barker at the center of its show: Elon Musk. We’ve often said that Jeffrey Epstein offers us a lens through which to view larger networks of power and influence and ways to ascertain how they operate and impact the world. The story of Tesla Motors offers us the same opportunity: how a nerdy dot-com gold chaser hacked the self-satisfied neoliberal green political regime and orchestrated a cacophonous symphony of thirsty social media marketeers, auto industry executives, captured and bought off media, and the bull market ride of the century. At the center of all of this is the pied piper of the redditmen, our very own epic bacon PT Barnum — Elon Musk — who rightly understands that branding really is everything and that so long as you can keep the music going the party doesn’t have to end. Now that Tesla has a gun to the head of the American economy, there’s only one question left: how long can the show go on? 

In Pt 1 we begin with the bizarre history of Elon’s family, the origin story of Tesla Motors and the weird wild birthplace of both modern conservatism and progressive neoliberalism, California. Featuring: chiropractors, Ronald Reagan, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, divorced guys, Italian nuclear physicists, tightrope performers, bearded ladies and The Coca-Cola Company.

Episode 366: This Is How I Lose

We have always lived in The Zone. We take in the stunning re-election of Donald Trump, the manifest failure of Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and the entire Democratic party, and all of the myriad obungles that have brought us to this moment. This has happened before, it will happen again…Reasons to be scared, reasons for hope, and assurance that we’re still ready to ride with you all every day.

UNLOCKED: 883 - History Doesn’t Repeat Itself…But It Slimes (11/7/24)

We start off with some Monkey News, then continue our post-mortem on the 2024 election. Does America have a Boy Crisis? Was $450k a day to put Kamala’s name on the Sphere worth it? How many votes did Queen Latifah swing? Are there sharks in the pool? Can Rebecca Solnit construct a metaphor to save her life? Will anyone learn anything from this boondoggle? We discuss.

884 - Pool Boys (11/11/24)

We’re joined by investigative reporter Seth Harp to talk Afghan poppies, narco states, and drug interventions of the past and future.

Episode 419: Afghan Dope

We review the various freaks, toadies, goons, and TV personalities that Trump has tapped to build his second cabinet, and speculate how much damage Vivek & Elon can actually do with their kids-table DOGE advisory board. We also discuss the coalescing view among the pundit class that the Democrats need to abandon their various activist groups, as espoused in today’s reading series by Adam Jentleson. Finally, a new (hopefully semi-regular) feature from Matt.
