Is anybody still talking about why to gun supposedly used by Robinson should have left an 'exit wound' in Kirk but did not?

Man, all these crazy people you mention now make up the solid right wing of the Reoubkican Party. They sound totally nuts.

i really want will to do a piece on my oldest son’s favorite news guy… channel 5. he feels like an alternative to the maga right and my oldest has been following him since high school.

maybe do a piece on what young (late teen/early 20’s) people who are not in the maga or christian nationalist camp are watching and getting their news from.

i find it very refreshing- at least this guy seems to take journalism seriously!!

Will, I have a request. Can the Bulwark create a Groypers lexicon on the app? Somewhere we can go to look these crazy terms up? I have ordered my brain to delete the knowledge of what WHAGHAF means but may need to look it up later.

the whole plan of staffing the entire defense/intelligence side of the admin with square-jawed dolts dying daddy sees on TV doesn't seem to be working out great.

I don’t know how you do it. I hope you take your waders off outside before entering a decontamination chamber.

Stop the damn world. I’m getting off.

Have to wonder why Rep. Bobert is perpetuating the longtime goal of the recalcitrant right's attempts to repeal FISA, when now it seems it might help clear things up amongst its lunatic podster meltdown. Oh well.

As much as I delight in these far right conspiracies, surely there are some on the far left that are equally intriguing…?

Will these people, Kent, Owens, etc., believe anything that comes out of Tyler's trial? When it's determined he was a disturbed individual acting entirely on his own with no foreign influence, will they just call that a whitewash? Does that mean we really can't trust anything that happens in our judicial system? I get the feeling that MAGA-world wants to dismantle the entire criminal justice system as well as the election apparatus. Or am I overreacting?

I'm almost ashamed to say I did some research. According to a the description accompanhing a youtube posted this past November, WANGHAF is the name of a 1988 racist and antisemitic song by "80's supergroup Zach and The Sleeping Giant performing a cover version of the illegal pop funk single "WANGHAF" written and produced by Nate 'The Burger King' Higgs." I can't vouch for the actual truth of that description though. Here's a link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhUb45u2U7s

That is AI slop with a silly backstory. Really sorry i read the comments on the video

Ben Gruder's avatar

So are you saying that the video and the comments (plus the backstory) are products of AI? I guess I need to learn about AI slop. Sadly.

Love your newsletter Will.

I'm for bringing back the X-Files and have Will join Mulder & Scully. The truth and weirdos are out there.

WANGHAF? Isn't that creative. We're obviously dealing with a bunch of high IQ activists. I, for one, am moving to my multi-million dollar bunker before it's too late!

The internet does crazy things with acronyms—and hyphens!

"The director of national counterintelligence said there's no way the defendant did it" seems like it might lead to reasonable doubt.

But am I the only person who thought Joe Kent was a cigarette company mascot until two weeks ago?
