Happy New Year. Welcome to Episode 263 of my podcast, Who's paying attention? This is Alonzo Bowden. I thank you for still being here. I hope 2020 has gotten off to a good start for you. Mine is questionable. Now, I had a great New Year's Eve in Raleigh and New Year's Day being home, etc., cetera. But, you know, the news kind of bummed me out.

I mean, New Year's Day, I read about a six-year-old kid being beaten the death by his godfather

in L.A.

Just read today about a grinder date in Michigan where this guy cut the young man's stabbed him,

hung him by his ankles, cut his throat, cut off his testicles,

cooked them and ate him.

It's not a good way to start a year.

Okay, and that's the local crime.

In other news, obviously the big thing is our idiot Trump. So the drone strike

killing Qasem Qasem Soleimani of Iran. He killed, you know the story. He kills a high-ranking

Iranian official to foil a plot of terrorism.

It's foil a plot. I haven't heard foil a plot since Bush was foiling plots in Iraq.

And of course, in comic books, it's bullshit, right?

The, um, this could be a distraction from the impeachment or whatever.

I don't know.

Ah, the hypocrisy, right after he did it, of course, the tweets that Trump put out about Barack Obama,

saying Barack Obama should start a war with Iran to make sure he gets reelected or whatever.

That hypocrisy is lost on Trump's cult.

And that's where we're at now.

It's not his followers anymore.

It's a straight up cult.

You know it as well as anybody.
