The Fifth Column (private feed for bitterone31droid@googlemail.com)

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. Yet another Patreon-only dispatch on last week's madness on Capitol Hill. This time around, Kmele, Matt, and Moynihan respond to a few angry listeners while also processing lots of new information about the Cosplay Coup.- Paul sends TFC a Dear John letter. The lads respond- Ryan is annoyed that TFC didn't beat up Rep. Peter Meijer. So he wants to break up. The lads respond again- Well, start your own damn app/app store/hosting platform! - On big tech and politics- Celebrating the censorious instinct- One man's terrorist...- Mob violence on the bureaucratic catastrofuck- Reminder: what happened on Wednesday was really, really bad- Oh, now you're against him Thank you for subscribing.

We did a Zoom. Lots of you showed up. It's Castro-speech long. But we had great special guests, including an appearance from Fifth favorite and Bloomberg columnist Eli Lake and new Fifth favorite and freshman congressman Peter Meijer, who gave us an inside-the-Capitol view of the MAGA riot. Meijer also talked Trump impeachment, a measure he's now "strongly considering," and the future of the Republican Party. So turn off cable news, ignore your family, pour a glass of becherovka, and set aside three hours (yikes) for this amazing, fascinating, probably rage-inducing Zoom rebroadcast....  Thank you for subscribing.

We've done this before. We call an audible, have a last-minute Zoom for all you lovely and bored subscribers, and then feel really guilty that people at the hospital giving birth (congrats Elijah!) or putting their annoying, already-existing kids to bed (the rest of you) couldn't make it on such short notice. Well this time we recorded it! So in no particular order, some of the very important topics covered....- EEEE-laria es de..... Boston?- A Maoist struggle session- Kmele's origin story- Should we tell grandma that grandpa (PBUH) - Matt's still pissed at NYC schools- Everyone Matt knows called Dave is a racist- Aaron is feeling a bit better- Shitty mayors- FYI: Mary Todd Lincoln wasn't the hottest first lady- Corporate cancellations / corporate disappearances - Cancelling a 15 year old- Moynihan might have been horrible to Max when he was 12- And so much more!

Well, she did...- Question: do electricians always leave a complete mess?- Silicon Valley vs. opaque pricing- Our ongoing race obsession / the new eugenics- More on Andrew Schultz and 2020 comedy- Guess who Matt's pissing on now? If you guessed New York City's public school apparatchiks...- The 129 fucking morons who work at NYC's most elite Maoist reeducation school- Our horrible, no good revolutionary moment- Defund the crime beat- "Frisco"-  A great note from an East Texas trucker- And so much more....
