The Absurd Arena – Useful Idiots Discussion Board Week of 10.17.22

Hey Useful Idiots,

Wilson here. This week is a big one for news: the US and Russia are back to tangoing on the brink of armageddon, midterm debates are shining a light down the dark chasm into which US politics have slipped, and Julian Assange protests have erupted around the world with inspiring footage of the only remaining sane people holding hands around different buildings.

But some would say it’s an even bigger time for Useful Idiots. This week, we unveiled a new weekly Thursday mini-episode (starting with that Jake Tapper monologue that we could swear no one else watched), we hit 10k followers on Twitter (follow us @usefulidiotpod for alerts about the show and clips from every episode), Katie got censored by corporate media and then discussed by Joe Rogan and Roger Waters, and battle has officially begun in the Absurd Arena.

This is the place for us to listen to the Useful Idiots who think they can talk back to a podcast.

I’ll start the discussions with a topic or question, but remember, this is the absurd arena, which means you can talk about anything you want: midterm elections, nuclear war, the playoffs, your Tinder date last night, that thing your dog said to you, a movie you watched recently.

This week, the best answers will be read on the show:

What question should we ask Katie and Aaron? The best questions will be asked and answered on this week’s episode.
