For those who missed Matt’s reference to “Black Added: Congress”, I asked ChatGPT.
Based on the context of the statement, it appears that Matt Taibbi is saying that his experience testifying before a House Subcommittee was surreal and unexpected. He anticipated serious attacks and was nervous about them, but instead, what he encountered was something unexpected - an episode of “Black Adder: Congress.”
“Black Adder” is a British sitcom that satirizes historical events and figures, and it’s known for its humor and absurdity. So, when Taibbi says “Black Adder: Congress,” he is likely describing the surreal and absurd nature of the hearing, which he may have found amusing or bizarre.
In essence, Taibbi is saying that the hearing didn’t turn out as he expected, and it was more comical and surreal than he could have imagined, like an episode of the satirical comedy show “Black Adder.”
I listened to part of his testimony, and may listen to some more. But his delivery was IRRITATING, IRRITATING. He spoke WAY too fast. Not as bad as Ben Shapiro, but IRRITATING.
Why doesn’t someone take these two (and there may be others) aside and teach them how to speak? It would not be difficult. There’s nothing wrong with what they’re saying, it’s all in the delivery.
I once heard a tape of Ben Shapiro where they had artificially slowed it down and lowered his pitch. He sounded good. As it is, I CANNOT listen to him.
Unfortunate one has to register in order to read the article.
Enjoy Shellenberger when I see him in Fox prime time exposing the left’s climate alarmism. Still, disturbing that he voted for Biden. Tells me he’s got a somewhat screwy thought process outside of environmental extremism.
Democrats never had the plot, they are a plot. I’d like to keep reading the article but I’m not signing up.
Half of all the people in power have no interest in the truth anymore. Probably more than half. Most of them are ideologues. You can see it in their eyes, you can hear it in the tone of their voices... What is especially scary to me is knowing that these people are training more and more new ideologues to fill up the bureaucracies, the legislatures, and most worringly, the courts.
Our side is notoriously averse to public service. It’s in our nature to want to live our own lives, to live free and independent from government intrusion. But these people are threatening all that. We need to do all we can to start encouarging the next generation (on our side) to commit themselves to public service, as much as that is antithetical to our instincts...
If we don’t take back our government and the courts with highly trained professional defenders and advocates of American and Constitutional principles, in a few decades there won’t be a private sector - or even a private life - left to defend.

You would think that Taibbi and others would be subjected to this and publicly say: "We're done. The Democrat party and the left are pure and simply fascists." But they don't.
The left continues to do what fascists have always done. You are never pure enough and you need to be distilled out of the crowd.
But perhaps there's hope...
Democrats are Leaving the Democrat Party in Droves and Becoming Republicans
The dictionary description of "brain-damaged bimbo" has a picture of Chrissy Teigen.
But Matt and Michael vote Dem and will continue to vote that way. They won’t learn.
