I recently noticed that one of my favourite podcasts is back after a hiatus (that the podcaster doesn't really want to talk about). The name is now "Can't Cancel Rob Smith"

Rob Smith trained as journalist after a stint in the US army and (from memory) an urban black upbringing. He is a self-proclaimed black gay republican.. He is always articulate and sounds knowledgeable on politics and the media - I disagree with some of his other statements. From his general tone, I would put him down as somebody who likes to think for himself who has come to believe that the level of support the Democratic Party expects from minorities in general is larger than is justified by the consistency of Democratic rhetoric and their achievements in running the areas they control. However, searching around I see

Smith’s “walk away” moment from the Democratic party, according to his interview with Newsweek, was when the Pulse nightclub shooting occurred in June 2016. At that moment, he told Newsweek, he wanted a strong message denouncing terrorism from his leaders, and it was the Republican message that resonated

(end quote)

A recent phrase from him I liked - "The Swamp is bi-partisan"

Him can't. Him too far into bot mode.

I hope not. How can I tell if he's slipping into bot mode if he does
that?

And he is so ludicrously funny in bot mode.

*about* me.

As usual.
