Episode 9- Moore Wars: The Last Jew Attorney

Seasons greetings, and welcome back to the Plunge. We are celebrating Chanukah in style, and we’ve got a menorah-full of monstrosities from this week to discuss. We all shed tears with Keaton, the bullied child from Knoxville, TN, until we realized that his mom and dad are pretty racist. Show favorite Sebastian Gorka has been tweeting for the culture, and that might be why the FCC and its chairman, Harlem Shake appropriator Ajit Pai, voted to end net neutrality rules. Alabama voted to scorn God’s love by electing Democrat Doug Jones over local pedophile Roy Moore in the Senate election this past Tuesday. In the pop culture corner, we’re talking Star Wars, spoiler free of course, and we’ll unpack Disney’s cult of personality. For story time, we’ll introduce Le Boule de Mais, our brand-new fine dining segment, with a journey into the belly of Comet Ping Pong, the Northwest DC hangout that was recently exposed as the nexus of the PIZZAGATE sex ring. We’ve got all that and Roy Moore in this week’s episode.
