'Anyway, shameless grifter Tim Pool finally made his debut appearance on Jubilee’s Surrounded, the internet show in which one moderately well-known internet personality is pitted against a group of people who supposedly disagree with them. I say “supposedly” because the episode that Glenn Greenwald did was titled “1 Journalist vs. 20 Trump Supporters,” instead of “21 Trump Supporters.” Personally, I thought it would have been more interesting to pit Greenwald against people who actually hold the beliefs he at least pretended to have from about 2005 to 2017, but that’s just me.'

This is a brilliant passage. It sums up, for me and other elder Generation X-ers who are outside the loop in many ways, the content of a video series that I am curious about but will never willingly watch. It tells me why I should probably be aware of "Jubilee's Surrounded," but also that it will continue to be OK for me to read about it, but never to watch it.
It also gives Glenn Greenwald EXACTLY the dismissal he deserves!
As yes, Tim Poole, Russian asset. I wouldn't call that thing he wears a "beanie" as it has no propeller attached to it. I call it a knit hat, something I wear during the winter because it covers the ears and keeps them warm. In summer I favor ball caps, but I generally do not wears hats of any sort, not even Stetsons, indoors.
Ok, the version of The Green Ribbon I read as a kid ended with the husband removing it while she was asleep (on their honeymoon!), then the head rolls down a hill shouting, “I toooollllddd yoouuu not to loooooook!” I wish I could remember what collection that was in.
The version going around my third grade back in the 60's, the ribbon was red. But, the rest of the story tracks with yours. Although, I didn't read it, but was told the story at a sleep over with all the lights turned off and the storyteller shining a flashlight under her chin for extra effect.
I was so happy when Rush Limbaugh died. Alas, he seems to have spawned hundreds of tiny progeny who are swimming downriver to the big ocean, where we can’t get away from them and their staccato delivery of lies.
Ta, Robyn. I'd like to live in a world where I don't have to be acquainted with the likes of Tim Pool. When I first typed that last sentence, it came out the LIES of Tim Pool, and that tracks. That vapid Putin stooge cannot disappear from public life and the internet quickly enough to suit me.
Tim has finally managed to get himself a wife, even a kid, last year. You wouldn't know it because he never mentions them and the one video I've seen of them together he and his wife were standing like five feet apart and barely spoke to each other.
"Pool has for years maintained that he is a moderate"
Pool is like so many other right wingnuts who claim to be moderates but would make Benito Mussolini look like a flaming liberal. I'm a proud conservative liberal (it really is a thing*) and I wouldn't consider calling myself anything else or I'd be lying to others, and more importantly, to myself -- "A lie may fool someone else, but it tells you the truth: you’re weak.” Tom Wolfe.
(* G-ddess, how I dislike using Wikipedia as a prime source, but it is the best definition of conservative liberalism I can find:
This POV has also been called liberal conservatism:
> "Liberal conservatism is a centrist political ideology that blends right-wing conservative principles with elements of left-wing liberal thought. It is often characterized by the notion that individuals can hold socially liberal views while maintaining economically conservative positions." https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/liberal-conservatism)

"Why do they repeat it ad nauseam? Because they think if they do that, everyone will just eventually accept that it is true."
There is a reason for the assholes to think that keeping on repeating their bovine scat is a good strategy; as a fellow right wingnut, Joseph Goebbels, allegedly said: "repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth."
"we don’t have guns like the Right has guns, so if there were a “civil war” it would really just be them murdering us en masse."
That's certainly what they think will happen. The reality will likely be very different. You can own a hundred guns, but you still only have two hands.
I also don't really like the defeatism and lack of fight implied by that statement. If that's the attitude, then, yes. They will murder us en masse. :(

Thank you, Robyn Pennacchia.
This guy creeps me out big time.
Tim Pool!! He’s a one-man Overton Window
Tim Pool looks like a total dumbass. He sounds like a fucking idiot. His fans haven’t noticed this?

It's actually called a toque. Rhymes with duke.
How about the FEDORA I've been sportin?
And Tim. Get that watch cap off you head. Mick Belker, you ain't. And you ain't Ike Willis, either.
Sorry, but you can't shake the devil's hand and say you were only kidding
What a bullet-head!

He might get more dates if he put a label on his hat showing the date it was last washed. Does he own more than one shirt or is that his 'brand'?

Did she look like she was from Russia or Belarus? Maybe Thailand or the Philippines?
She's not only USian, she is decidedly an adult and about his age, I think. She's his COO at his depressing little compound though.

So what if they have all the guns? We have all the smart people. And do you know what smart people have?
Drones.
Welcome to the 21st Century, pal!

It's exactly the SHITE that got us into this ungodly catastrophe in the first place.
It's beyond vile and contemptible.
Narrator: That's not the attitude
(but maybe everybody doesn't need to know that)
