The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Lookism and Imperial Conquest Redivivus
Lucretia hosts this week as the Three Musketeers are back together again (and to mark John’s return, we procured his favorite toothpaste for him!), taking on Trump at the 100 Day mark, the latest in lawfare, the dismal Canadian election, whose solution John Yoo suggests is straight up imperial conquest—why make Canada the 51st state when we can make it a territory to be exploited like Puerto Rico and Greenland?
We’re so back that Lucretia even revives some good old fashioned lookism in this episode!
We close with a few thoughts on the passing of David Horowitz, whose central lesson has still not penetrated the Vichycons who don’t understand the metaphysical meaning of Trump.
Exit music this week from our pal Steve Tootle o Cosigner, who is a faithful listener to this show.
