"You’ve got Tulsi, ex-Democrat, Elon, ex-Democrat, Joe Rogan, ex-Democrat, Robert F Kennedy Jr, ex-Democrat, Donald Trump, ex-Democrat…the Republican Party is run by old school Democrats!"
In 2019, Ain’t That Swell podcasters, Jed Smith and Vaughan Blakey, spent forty-five minutes on a Skype call to the then wanna-be democratic nominee for the presidential race, Tulsi Gabbard
Vaughan woke up one morning to a DM from Tulsi, a surfer, saying.“Hey guys, love the show, love to come on sometime.”
Vaughan’s nostrils, you’ll remember, were almost fatally distended by the presidential perfume.
Tulsi performed well on the show, she referenced other episodes of Ain’t That Swell and patiently remained silent as the broadcast was diverted by Jed Smith on his many wonderful little rants.
But fast-forward five years and Tulsi is the new Director of National Intelligence under Republican President Donald Trump. It was a hell of a switcharoo and one I knew my ol pal Jed Smith would have an opinion on.
So I call up Jed, thirty-seven now and living a thousand clicks away from his Bondi neighbourhood. I figure he’ll hit me with some socialist and wildly anti-capitalist bullshit, which I’ll secretly enjoy and mostly agree with, and tell me Tulsi’s a turncoat, a sell-out etc.
He don’t.
“I’m loving her,” he says in the same recognisable Australian drawl that brings in tens of thousands of listeners to his and Vaughan’s podcast. “She’s exactly the same person. It’s so interesting, man. You’ve got Tulsi, ex-Democrat, Elon, ex-Democrat, Joe Rogan, ex-Democrat, Robert F Kennedy Jr, ex-Democrat, Donald Trump, ex-Democrat…the Republican Party is run by old school Democrats! A vote for change is a vote for the Republican Party which is run by old school left-wing people.”
Jed says Tulsi hits all the points you should care about, like the looming spectre of nuclear war.
“She’s anti that shit. She’s been calling out the threat of a nuclear war for years and years. That’s her main thing, stopping America’s imperialist interventions abroad. She wants to quell the fucking threat of nuclear war. What could be wrong with that? I don’t give a fuck if she’s wearing a red hat or a blue hat. I don’t want the world to go up in smoke. She’s a veteran and when you’re part of that military culture, a shit kicker, it’s a brutal truth-telling culture, same as the bottom end of the working class. You call a spade a spade and the fact she’s in the Republican Party, well, that’s fucking epic. The Democrats black-balled her. They weren’t going to give her shit and they shut out Bernie Sanders. The Democratic Party is a write off. You’re mad to have any faith in ‘em.
We talk a little about why Hillary Clinton claimed Tulsi was a Russian asset. Jed says it’s ‘cause Clinton’s a stooge of the fabled military industrial complex; I think it’s ‘cause Tulsi, hot as fuck, a little colour in her skin, smarter, a vet, a woman, was stealing nasty old cuckquean’s thunder.
I tell him, you should get Tulsi back on Ain’t That Swell. Director of National Intelligence v Jed and Vaughan. Tell me that won’t get the needle firing north.
“I should hit her up again but I don’t like my chances. She’s one of the biggest hitters in the world, one of the most famous people in the world. Mate, it was crazy when she was on the show. Forty minutes. She cut deep, straight to the bone. Didn’t shy away from anything. And we get blowback from people when they listen to that interview now. Messages saying, how can you support her? I’m, like, what do you mean? What is your problem with her? We get these die-hard Californian Democrats telling us we can’t support her. We hate you. You’re out of the club.”
Ol Jedaum sighs the sigh of a man, a good man, a surfer and not the new sort that has little crumblings of baby powder in his underarms from his anti-rash regimes.
“The culture wars are so nauseating. So spun. You know, it’s so simple. Most people want dignity for the poor and an end to poverty. Fundamental common sense shit. Decent housing. Good quality food not full of poison and plastic and fucking vaccines that aren’t going to fuck us all it. It’s all pretty fucking reasonable. Who fucking wouldn’t want that?”
Jed pauses.
“Fuck!”

Good, gender affirmed.
Which way?
never listened to a podcast in my life!
witness’s? or not. buried. crucified~
ah the SS!
And applying it to the Electoral map. Hardly had enough last time!
You think zhe wants that?
It’s never safe assuming the gender of someone that identifies as Channelbottom.
Poster on this thread self-identifies as stupid, if not double stupid.
And never clues in to the irony.
Triple Stupid!
The writing is on the wall… Crypto bull run is just getting started… While fear & misinformation continue from mainstream news to niche surf forums, those with a focus on truth will feel hope while the profits stack… cheers brudda
big chunk of cuntry fought a civil war/
stealing swedish&norway&danish blondes pushed me o’r da edge…
Yeah, apart from not wanting to go to war with Russia, where’s the smoking gun?
Hillary Clinton said she’s a Russina asset.
Isn’t that enough?
ah Don actually admires Adolf!
oh FFS ,the USA military is so superior to the Russians , ask them how they are doing in the Ukraine?
it’s not about defeating the Russia, its about the retaliatory ball kicks Russia lands in the U.S./EU groin on the way down.
Yes, this.
Brutus sounds like Dick Cheney (oh yeah, Dick’s a Dem now. And vice versa) bellowing about America’s military might. But the point is, no one on the Trump side wants to poke a sensitive Putin just to keep the Ukraine conflict chugging along for a few more months and thousands more lives.
Remember, if Trump manages to put a stop to it, it was going to happen anyway under Harris/Walz. You heard it here first.
Probably.
Bought a new used board the other day to redistribute some foam under my tits for wave-catching power.
I’ll scale back to a littler one once I get my practice up.
Interesting times, a convicted rapist attracting the masses who spend too much time, and are easily brainwashed by social media.
No wonder Government banned this shit for young kids. If adults can’t sort their heads out what hope do young kids have.
E Jean says ol Donny got a tiny cock, too! Accusation below:
The moment the dressing-room door is closed, he lunges at me, pushes me against the wall, hitting my head quite badly, and puts his mouth against my lips. I am so shocked I shove him back and start laughing again. He seizes both my arms and pushes me up against the wall a second time, and, as I become aware of how large he is, he holds me against the wall with his shoulder and jams his hand under my coat dress and pulls down my tights.
I am astonished by what I’m about to write: I keep laughing. The next moment, still wearing correct business attire, shirt, tie, suit jacket, overcoat, he opens the overcoat, unzips his pants, and, forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway — or completely, I’m not certain — inside me. It turns into a colossal struggle. I am wearing a pair of sturdy black patent-leather four-inch Barneys high heels, which puts my height around six-one, and I try to stomp his foot. I try to push him off with my one free hand — for some reason, I keep holding my purse with the other — and I finally get a knee up high enough to push him out and off and I turn, open the door, and run out of the dressing room.
The whole episode lasts no more than three minutes. I do not believe he ejaculates. I don’t remember if any person or attendant is now in the lingerie department. I don’t remember if I run for the elevator or if I take the slow ride down on the escalator. As soon as I land on the main floor, I run through the store and out the door — I don’t recall which door — and find myself outside on Fifth Avenue.
If you find E Jean Carroll credible, can I interest you in a perfect Kansas point break with light offshores 5 days out of the week?
So you expect them to save the video from decades ago,you don’t know how video is used, it’s never reviewed unless a complaint is filed. One dude sitting monitoring the entryways is the normal process.
fact is; in Bergdorf, with the excessive amount of security, security cameras, dressing room attendants and Donald Trumps fame at the time that E. Jean Carrol says, (well she doesn’t even remember the year it supposedly happened), there is no way it happened. It’s complete 100% bullshit.
Not remembering the year was not just the tenth red flag planted on this bogus testimony, it was the most egregious.
The former and future president rapes you and you don’t reflect on it enough to recall the year? Just a forgettable incident that entitles you to 80-$ome million.
People that don’t know Bergdorf BITD; it was a pretty classy joint.
At the alleged kind of sort of, maybe time this incident allegedly occurred, Bergedorfs womens store was not in the same building as the mens store which was across the street. Also, there were changing room attendants who would let you into the changing rooms after counting the items you were taking into the changing room, and waited outside to assist if you needed a different size, color, whatever. It was very personalized.
As well, Liar Carrol claims she ran out and through the store to get away. Impossible!
When you exited the dressing room at Bergdorf the attendant(s) would count the cloths and rehang them. If Carrol had bolted without returning the items, Security would have been on her ass quicker than.
At least they would have stopped her at the exit where there was always security stationed. Also, as famous as Trump was at that time he would have a crew of BG employees within ear/eye shot of him at all times, in case he needed assistance and wanted to spend some of his billions.
No way he would have got into the womens dressing rooms…not without 10 witnesses.
BTW- there was a waiting area outside the dressing rooms where the guys would sit and wait for their gal to come out and show off their ensemble. Men were not allowed in the womens changing rooms.
Se’s a lying gunt, who will be well and truly fucked when Trumps attorneys and federal prosecutors go after her for perjury and election interference.
“Make no mistake. It’s not revenge he’s after… It’s a reckoning.” ~ Doc Holiday
smoking gun…18 women complained about Trump…Epstein was his Trumpy’s mate…grab en by the pussy ….ah…
Stop with the facts, would you please? Much triggering of the fragile likely happening.
so what do you make of Stormy describing Don’s cock ???
Do you think she made it up?
“The culture wars are so nauseating. So spun. You know, it’s so simple. Most people want dignity for the poor and an end to poverty. Fundamental common sense shit. Decent housing.

Funny how when people take their head out of the right-wing info bubble, all the ‘woke’ shit disappears. The ones stirring up a “culture war” are the RW and Putin’s various shills, conscious or not. The rest of us are just trying to get on with life. If occaisonally calling out people for being bigoted assholes is a bad thing, then tough shit. Progressive policies are trying to HELP everyone.
“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within”. -Khrushchev
Welp… that’s what’s happening. Division and unrest stirred up and amplified by both paid actors (Tulsi and Trump) and unwitting fools who refuse to engage any critical thinking skills.

Jed, if you know anything about Trump, you know he doesn’t give 2 fucks about “dignity for the poor and an end to poverty” or “decent housing. ” his bigoted ass tried to keep blacks from renting at his real estate properties. he stiffed contractors who employ tradesmen. ripped off gullible, ordinary folks who paid tuition at Trump U. loopholed the shit out of his taxes and paid a smaller percentage than middle-class workers. you champion the blue-collar surfer, the working class, right? how do you square that?
Tulsi may have the right ideas about avoiding conflicts with other nations, but she sold her soul jumping on Trump’s circus bandwagon. RFKJ would align himself with Jeffrey Dahmer if it meant he could stay in the spotlight, and would prob take nutritional expertise from him, too. Elon? the world’s richest douchebag who sells his ugly-as-sin “cars” for $40k+? yeah, real for-the-people guy. you can have him, and UFC shill Rogasbag, too.
the dems have certainly lost the plot and deserved to lose, but that doesn’t suddenly turn conservatives into angels.
This was a great listen. Who’d have thunk there is literally a Swellian in the White House. Can’t be a bad thing right?
it has been embarrassing to watch Jed fall into the red pilled youtube rogan ecosystem… i would have bet a million bucks that he would not fall for the bullshit, but then I’d be a million bucks in debt. sad sad day. i know vaughn is not happy bc he still has some brain cells. tulsi is a fucking dork but jed is so horny for her he can’t see through the bullshit. and his “they are all former dems” angle is so laughably stupid. seriously ignorant stuff. insanity.
