Incompetent Fascism: SignalGate, the Rise of Deportations, and JD Vance’s Fall from Favor

Episode 25 Published 1 year, 2 months ago

Description

Travis Irvine is back to help us plumb the depths of stupidity that is the SignalGate fiasco. Matt Kelly, editor of Radical Compliance, also joins to help us understand how far outside the norm it is to text war plans on a personal phone. Spoiler alert, it’s pretty far. Deportations of legal residents are on the rise despite legal challenges in the Mahmoud Khalil case and others. In other fun news, JD Vance, now confirmed as our least popular VP, is being sent to Greenland.
