Man, if only an asteroid had hit that table.

I'm sure they went on a hunting retreat and ate steak, to prove their manliness and not what white collar dorks (except Rogan, who sucks in other ways) they actually are.

These guys are cut from the same cloth as the right-wing-uber-man that my wife had to teach the use of a cordless drill.

I was using the quote as it pertains to folks keeping like company, in this instance, a table full of alt-right shitheads.

Christ, I’m turning into an apologist for shittiness but Harris some time ago disavowed all these ghouls as theocrats and weirdos and publicly expressed regret at his involvement with the “IDW”. He’d also a registered Democrat that voted for and endorsed every Democrat presidential candidate since he started voting.

He’s had some appalling judgment over the years - still does - and there is an increasingly strange gap between his Waking Up liberal leftism and Making Sense “free speech” fundamentalism.

It's not a strange gap once you accept that grifters gonna grift.

Apparently he claims the Hamas is worse than the Nazis in a new book? I dunno, I'm only seeing this second hand. I try not to keep up with him. The last time I checked in several years ago I believe he had claimed to have solved the is/ought problem through neuroscience and it turns out people are hardwired to be utilitarian in the exact way he is.

He's a one-note hack, playing the hits again.

It's interesting to see horseshoe theory embodied in one internet asshole.
