Another Day, Another Assassination Attempt (E295)

HI LIV!!

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/09/donald-trump-2024-president-election-shooting-christians.html So many of the key figures in this article have been discussed on QAA… I’m feeling a lot of dread and fear as we head towards November. Thank you QAA crew for your sanity and humor. Hope you are all doing ok. ❤️♥️

This is a special kind of white guy; he gives the impression that he’s never done a 9-5, or a real days work in his whole life. In another era he might be a middle manager of a paper conglomerate or the ceo of a local waste management company. But alas, these are the victims getting fried off the internet.

Masks work! Respirators like N99 (FFP3 in UK) work best. Folks consider watching Lola Germs' video essay called Why Is Everyone More Sick? 55 essential minutes of accessible science communication on Covid. It's so well put together!🔥

The world's first true Moralist

The front of the back 🤭

Travis is the best Padres fan

critical support to his gender abolitionist agenda

Great episode this week, sad part is the guy sounds very disturbed and will get railroaded.

This dude is like radicalized Ken Block

Does anyone remember what episode has the AI Trump rapping in it?

sorry you're sick Jake! I'm glad you're doing what you need to do to keep your partner from getting. it's super hard! wearing a well-fitting, high filtration mask is a simple tool to prevent further sickness in the future. feel better soon! 🥰

This is a guy who watched Team America World Police and went "Hell yeah brutha let's go and save these innocent, ungrateful foreigners so they can understand AMERICAN DEMOCRACY!" Yet on the other hand, the brief feminist whim did get me going "where's the lie?" Lol 👩‍🔬🙆 - A small concern: curious if Desanitis may try to interfere with/redirect the judicial process in his own state and offer the guy as some kinda sacrifice hoping to slip back into trump's good books like the thirsting tapeworm he is (the books are in Donald's lower intestine, don't ask)

This guy will do hard time for this. Oh yeah, he's going to the lock-up. They can't let him off, no matter if he's a nut. (He's not. Stupid and a squirrel, but not nuts.) The system can't let him plead out because of about a dozen reasons.

High level poster

If this butt-wipe was black he'd have been doing hard time the FIRST time the DA could pin a felony on him. No plea bargains to misdemeanors...he'd go directly to state prison and spend the next ten years cooking SOS in the prison kitchen, and selling his butthole to the homeboys for a pack of cigarettes, and half a can of Mountain View per trick. But, you know, he's not black so plea bargains and passes from cops is his privilege.

It wasn’t so much an assassination attempt as a CONCEPT of an assassination attempt.

holy shit lol he was there for like 12 hours?? this guy isn’t solid snake he’s the old ass sniper from snake eater

I enjoyed the brief foray into what is basically the plot of Zardoz ca. 1:05 in. The Gun is Good the Penis is Evil Routh 2024

This guy is giving militant Dr Bronner

Luckyland Casino! Where do you get lucky?

For some reason I just blithely assumed Travis hated baseball, so the revelation he was watching a Padres game has shaken me to the core. Of course Travis likes baseball: he is a father, a griller, a hiker, he probably has the James Earl Jones monologue from Field of Dreams tattooed on his back.

The description of this guy kept reminding me of Timothy Treadwell (Grizzly Man) for whatever reason.

Oh my God, that epilogue about Ukraine not being grateful enough is peak fucking pretension, but then it quickly drops into soul-crushing depression.

The cows come home to milk. I'm crying.

Wiley Coyote with an ACME drone is a hell of an image. Perfect for this Routh fella.

Literally MASKS are the thing you should be advertising you ableist cunts

Surprised that mental health kinda never came up in this. The guy doesn't just sound like a crank, from all of his actions he sounds deeply unwell and deluded. Won't be surprised if he's judged unfit to stand trial like Anthony Camello

I do actually think Liv was the first person to use "Dark Brandon" I may be wrong, but she first said it on the podcast weeks before people started saying it.

You guys play too many video games for men in their 40s

I swear Jake has now had Covid more times than Bolsanaro.

Honestly for a rush job episode this has provided a clearer portrait of the man than any of the articles I’ve read. Well done Julian!

Dude's tweets sounds like the Dunning-Kruger effect and a narcissist's proud ignorance of history or worldly matters in general got blended and then personified.

One correction: he was not born in Hawaii, from all that I can tell. Hawaii innocent!! Relatedly, I recently went to a new restaurant v close to where he lived in Ka’a’awa called The Crouching Lion (formerly a divey joint now a bougie one). Good food.

The online stalker vibes he has are extremely up-the-middle Gen X, as someone holding down the young end of the cohort :)

Feel better Jake! Just started listening but damn you sound ill get some rest.

we found the radical centrist

Wait... Can people just *show up* to wars as a free agent and fight? Is this A THING?

Perhaps the reason he resorted to going to the bushes with his gun because no candidste learned and stood for Imagine by John Lennon :(

Jake why didn't you just get a cable and connect your PS5 directly to the router

I'm only 10 mins in, but I just wanted to say thanks to Julian for referring to the perp as middle aged. God bless you! Tim Mullin., 58.

Really strong Lee-Harvey-Oswald-in-Mexico vibes from this one. "A person like [Oswald] in place of aiding the Cuban Revolution, was doing it harm.” Just imagine if Lee Harvey Oswald had been able to use Twitter! He would have been completely insufferable on there! (Pity, then, that Hillary Clinton was the one who actually shot JFK.)

liv agar

The backpack body army sounds like it might have been inspired by John Wick 4 which is a high level of delusion.

snaps for feminism

Trump. MAGA’s Tupac.

Sleepy Jake

Flying past the fact a&t is an hbcu. He was a white boy hbcu student!!!

Did yall see he had Jake’s feet pics on his hard drive?

Hey I call him sleepy Joe all the time

How do I get in on the group chat?

Jesus Fucking Christ, can't people just let nature run its course and let the man die choking on ketchup in a scene similar to Joffrey's last episode in Game Of Thrones.

Cult of the Roosting Cow

“A middle aged guy hiding out in the bushes in Trump’s golf club” This makes me think of Tim & Eric/ Spaghet hiding out behind some plants waiting to ambush… lol

i fully didnt expect yall to cover this

WOOH! Hoople Heads stay eating!

Welcome back Jake. Go get some rest!

Omg Jake go back to sleep you sound so bad lmao
