The Absurd Arena – Useful Idiots Discussion Board Week of 12.19
For the Useful Idiots who think they can talk back to a podcast.
Hey Useful Idiots,
It’s the holiday season (the holiday season), and the Useful Idiots are coming down the chimney. If we have proved nothing else this year, the one thing we can be sure of is that we’re better gift-givers than politicians.
Let’s unwrap:
This year, Biden gave rail workers an unlivable wage and gave millions of students deeper debt.
SCOTUS gave women the ability to go to prison for having an abortion and immigrants the right to be kicked out of the country for no real reason.
Pelosi gave us anti-choice candidates and billions of dollars for weapons instead of food and medicine for children.
Cheney and Schiff gave us countless hours of wasted government resources on Jan 6 hearings.
And Trump gave us $99 drawings of him as a superhero.
So for the holidays this year, let’s give presents back to the politicians who have sucked all year. While many of them surely deserve coal, that’s not the Useful Idiot way (we’re much meaner than that).
As usual, the best responses will be read on the show. Here’s the prompt:
What presents should we get for each sucky politician? What’s the worst present a politician has given us this year? What holiday questions do you have for Katie and Aaron?
The best present we should give every politician who supports our proxy war against Russia is a one way coach air ticket to Kiev
While everyone was focused on the World Cup the NYT birthed this propaganda piece. A new "boom" for arms makers!

"The combination of the war in Ukraine and concern about longer-term threats from Russia and China is driving a bipartisan push to increase U.S. capacity to produce weapons."
I am disgusted.
