    Missing Robert Evans and a few others.

    Mixed on brace beldon (he did ultimately contribute to a third of Syria being occupied on a very miniscule level, but I don't think that was intentional)

      If you see the feds pulling out a second former YPG guy who mysteriously gets a ton of popularity over the Epstein case (TA with the launch of their pod and Helali finding the second black book with the patch notes removing mossad "off ebay" and then getting blasted into minor relevance by the daily beast) and you don't question what's going on here, is there any hope for you?

      Worth mentioning Evans though, I remember when he was just a Funny Cold War Facts writer on Cracked which was introduced to me by a more bazingafied classmate.

        • Of course. Don't you love our established Twitter comedians who remind us that no matter how much we joke around, at the end of the day Iran is freaking cringe and their president dying in a firey crash is like Looney Tunes (it's only tragic when it happens to basketball players).

            Yeah, let's make fun of the only few leaders standing up to the genocidal regime and mourn a rich man who was too good to just drive from orange county to Los Angeles (something thousands of people do everyday). Oh they are religious, ok what has your agnosticism and liberalism done to stop the genocide?

        Yep, that's why I question these things. I stopped listening when he had on a guest justifying the Syrian intervention and I was like, I am done with this shit. You don't get to have a say in Syrian affairs as some sort of drug rehab.

        Evans is an admitted fed and justifies every intervention in the mid east and beyond. I instantly avoided Evans podcast as I sensed something was off. He would go all ham on people like Stalin and then make excuses for people like Reagan. Even not being knowledgeable I knew the fucker had an agenda and it wasn't good.

      I'd say Brace is generally fine, but that could be because I find his bits funny. I don't really follow celebrities, so I may be missing things. He seems to generally have good takes and joined the YPG with good intentions. Everyone has flaws and will be imperfect.
