Stay safe Matt. You might be in danger from these psychopaths.

Keep doing what you’re doing, Matt. You take the most flack when you’re directly over the target. The psychopaths go full on mentally ballistic when they get called out for their Machiavellian schemes and scams. Wear the old term “Muckraker” with great pride. I’m proud to support your Substack (I think it’s some kind of webpage, or something, I’m not really sure). :/

You can only be a whistleblower if you are accusing Republicans. Ridiculous

It is obviously a coordinated approach. My question, as it’s always been, is who exactly is in charge of this? Obviously a very destructive force but well organized and effective. It’s going to take more than these hearings to cleanse the body politic and it needs to be a very forceful campaign. What is it going to be?

Matt are you keeping up with this Proud Boys trial? Really crazy stuff going on. The prosecution sent over "complete" files not realizing that the files themselves showed deleted information. The prosecution reviewed emails between the defense and their attorneys. When this was coming out in the trial, the judge shut it down for the day and sent the jury home. Now the DoJ is claiming that this file is classified and was sent in error, therefore this evidence is inadmissible. Amazingly, the judge agreed.

I’m part of your “sudden increase in followers” and I can pinky-promise I’m not an adherent of any of your political beliefs. I’m here b/c I believe in free speech and truth no matter what. Totally agree with commenters who advise you to stay safe. Please! You are obviously over the target.

American liberals, in a desperate panic after 2016, injected themselves with the toxic brain virus called Critical Theory. It seemed like a smart move at the time: unleash the academic Red Guard on all their opponents, have them attacked with a barrage of bigotry accusations and threatened with loss of jobs and status unless they obeyed, then seed every institution in the country with loyal allies, all to regain even more power than the power that the Orange Usurper stole.

But now we're starting to see the side effects, one of the first being that liberals/Democrats seem to have picked up all the bad habits of the academic Marxists, the worst and ugliest being their style of thought: an obsession with rooting out ideological impurity and suppressing dissent; a worship of sacred dogma; the belief that anyone who disagrees isn't just mistaken but actively evil; an inability to compromise or accept good-faith disagreement (as in believing everyone not on your side suffers from some type of "false consciousness"); a bulletproof belief in their own moral and intellectual superiority; and the idea that every single moment and every single event (from your kids' bday party to a book you read to Thanksgiving at grandma's) is an intensely urgent political battle that must be fought to the death, so that good (THEM) prevails over evil (US).

I don't know what's up ahead on the horizon, but people like this can't be reasoned with, they will not compromise, and they will gladly destroy anything or anyone in their way (including Matt Taibbi).

At some point they will have to be actively, totally opposed, defeated, dislodged and discredited. They really offer no other choice.

I remember civility in DC during the 70’s and 80’s; probably no less self-serving, but at least it was civil. The Left are nothing but demons in meat-suits now.

Sorry Matt, but your party is totalitarian and sociopathic. They project their self hatred into others because they know what they do is wrong. It is the dark side of the light chasers. Their politics have become religion and therefore any means necessary is noble. They have got to be stopped.

Keep fighting the good fight. Your readers/supporters know the difference between the search for truth and the urge to suppress.

In the actions of the current Democrats, I am reminded of this quote from CS Lewis: "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive."

We are told that yelling fire in a crowded theater is not protected speech.

What if there is a fire in the theater? Doesn't it then become a duty?

Folks, this does not smell like it's coming from the popcorn machine.

Demonization for the act of questioning the FBI's motives could only be called "authoritarian".

If one didn't know better one might conclude the Emperor is starting to realize he has no clothes. Keep shining the light Matt, it is assisting your vision too!
