Blume blithely slipped in some über Russiagate nonsense that made me question her take on anything else. A reporter that doesn't question the *official* narrative is just another Village Stenographer. More Kirn, please.

And - one more Afghan lie:

Trump’s Pledge to Exit Afghanistan Was a Ruse, His Final SecDef Says - Defense One

https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2021/08/trumps-pledge-exit-afghanistan-was-ruse-his-final-secdef-says/184660/

Trump’s Pledge to Exit Afghanistan Was a Ruse, His Final SecDef Says. Chris Miller now says talk of a full withdrawal was a “play” to convince a Taliban-led government to keep U.S. counterterrorism forces.

Perhaps Biden should be given Nobel Peace prize instead to swindler Obama...

Matt, if you read this, I apologize for my complaint about not being able to get the podcast to play. I didn't realize that Useful Idiots requires a separate subscription. I deleted the complaint and hopefully not many read it as it was inaccurate. I'm very sorry!

PLEASE HELP: WHERE IS LIVING SUBSTACK/TAIBBI SUPPORT ????

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I've been paying for Matt Taibbi's service every month since last Oct.

Yet my acct is defined as a "free" one.

I am not receiving subscriber content via email, and cannot see the podcast content that I believe is part of the sub.

There is NO LIVING HELP on substack to resolve this issue -- it's all archived Q&A texts. No contact info... WTF ???

Matt Taibbi has no apparent direct email address.

SOMEONE PLEASE INFORM HOW TO RESOLVE THIS

Big drop in quality from Walter Kirn to this, get an actual producer like any dumb comedy podcast with half your following to help with among other things quality control in guests. And why don't you stare into the camera like this smart woman in your pictures Matt? (Jimmy Dore might say "nice news smirk", she looks like a fucking romance novelist in these dip shit photos)

Matt or Katie, I hate the comment section in terms of searching or post. People respond to post, and I am unable to find my post to respond back. Is this a common issue or is this a me issue ?
