Episode 26- The Only True Patriotism is Posting

from Hog Planet · host Hog Planet

This week Gina Haspel decided, with Trump’s encouragement, not to withdraw from consideration for the job of CIA Director, Facebook hired the Heritage Foundation to help them address their alleged conservative bias, and the Sergeants Benevolent Association of New York was tweeting about nipples for some reason. In terrible takes, we’re discussing the Home Depot CEO’s book I Love Capitalism, Kumail Nanjiani’s gut-wrenchingly bad tweets, Mitt Romney’s professed love of ground meats, and the general incel panic brewing amongst older generations that have been unfairly forced to learn what that word means. We’ll keep panicking about incels in the pop culture corner as we discuss the classic Scorcese film Taxi Driver through that lens, and we’ll also talk about an atrocious Law and Order: SVU episode about college activism and the unbearable persistence of HBO’s overwrought sci-fi catastrophe Westworld.
