Posting Through It

[Black metal voice]  KRRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! It’s time for something cringe! No, it’s not wearing corpse paint. It’s far worse: Nick Fuentes, the Tate Brothers, Clavicular, Sneako, the ever insufferable Myron Gaines and a list of random orbiters infested a Miami Beach club to bang Ye’s pro-Hitler rap anthem. Jared and Mike talk about that bullshit, alongside Fuentes' alleged monster deal to haw...

The hosts trace the cascading fallout from an ICE officer fatally shooting Renee Good, from...

But  Posting Through It covers MAGA and the far right, and if you have perused politics-heavy corners of social media lately, you know that Maher has emerged as one of the most polarizing commentators of Trump’s second term.  No longer beloved by liberals, Maher has hosted a bizarre rotation of MAGA fri...

Jared is in New York. Mike is in West Virginia. But no matter where you are in America, it’s easy to see that Trump and his MAGA movement are heading for some really, really, really dark shit.  Following the gruesome murder of Rob Reiner, Trump decided to mock the director’s death and insinuate that his liberal politics caused it.

Jared and Mike start the episode by glazing Kash Patel, the objectively cool head of the FBI.

(Trump, if you’re listening, please don’t fire him!) Then they take a look at Ian Miles Cheong and his epic crash-out. All the Trump guys...
