    Bongino is a former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent with three failed congressional bids under his belt. He rose to prominence as a conservative pundit on Fox News during Trump’s first term as president. He very briefly had his own show on the network before “parting ways” with the company in 2023. (His 2018 departure from NRATV prompted a failed defamation suit against the Daily Beast.)

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bongino became one of the loudest voices against mask and vaccine mandates, which ultimately led to a permanent ban from YouTube in 2022. He currently hosts The Dan Bongino Show on the conservative platform Rumble.

    It’s extraordinary that while Kamala is spending the final stretch trying to expand her voter base, Trump is preaching to the choir. Ignore the “Trump exhausted” narritive. WTF is he wasting his time with this third tier clown in the middle of October?

      From what I can tell from osmosis via following people who stick their head in that sewer, bongorno is pretty popular with people who were likely to eat horse paste.

        Anytime people blame the US government, as if it’s some abstract independently motivated entity, they need to remember that half the American citizens want things to be much much worse. They want a climate apocalypse, billionaire feudalism, religious nationalism, reproductive slavery, etc.

        I find these posts blaming “Biden” for Israel or “Congress” for climate change utterly moronic. Dude, your parents and grandparents elected these people. They elected them in primaries for half a century straight, And they will do it again and again until there’s no living creature left on this husk of a planet. But sure, it’s some government representative that’s the problem.

            Glad we sorted that one out. Tell you ancestors thank you for their service. Or don’t. I’m not your mother.

            They could have probably picked some random American citizen and they would be a stronger candidate

          She’s definitely a corporate stooge, but what makes her seem unlikable to you? I’ve found it so refreshing to finally have a presidential candidate that isn’t a totally creepy weirdo for once.

            What the fuck makes her a corporate stooge? She’s a prosecutor while the actual corporate stooge is trying to grift $100,000 watches.

              The I love drilling stuff, the I won’t nationalize healthcare stuff…I could go on for a while but I’m not going to bother. I never said she was worse than the other guy.
