What the fuck is up, people? No LIVE show today, but we will be back tomorrow night, as always. I’m gonna use the backup account, and will have some promo up later. But first, let’s hit up a couple stories from Twitter. The first one concerns Donald Trump and the Gawker leak from yesterday. The Donald didn’t take it laying down, and has instead decided to turn it to his advantage:

.@realDonaldTrump @Gawker fucking brilliant. Keep laughing at these scumbags, Donald.

So thanks, Sam Biddle. You just played right into Trump’s hands. If Lindsey Graham, (the pol who got his number released by Trump), he wouldn’t be polling at 1% and lower. On another note, Donald is surging in the polls. I don’t know how long he can keep it up, but seasoned observers who were laughing earlier this year are no longer laughing:
Trump's favorability is up even among Democrats, wtf. Pulling no punches is appealing. pic.twitter.com/l42jqbA5pT

Also, I was on the air last night when the news about GitHub broke. Actually, I was on the air when a lot of shit broke, but I’ll talk about Eron Gjoni and his case right after this post. First, take a look at the absolute insanity going on here:

So they’re basically just giving SJWs free reign to do what they want without consequence. Who decides what “oppressive behavior and assumptions” are? That sounds Orwellian to the extreme. Plus, the bit about not acting on reverse-racism complaints and the like, as if that doesn’t exist. Or what about the part where they say they won’t act on rabid rad fems using hateful and harshly tone speech? See, that’s the thing. They always want to be able to be biting and provocative, but they don’t want anyone else to have access to those tools.
Limiting speech for their opponents while simultaneously broadening theirs, that’s the goal. We’ve been talking about these things from the start, but now they’re coming out into the open with their draconian speech codes. They want them to be rules now. You’ll see these bullshit “codes of conduct” a lot more as we move forward.
I’ll be back with my thoughts on Eron, as well as a recap of all the news from that situation.
