Another Reason for Me Not to Visit the U.S.
Dan Bongino is the new FBI Deputy Director, and he doesn't like me
Any future movies with a plot line involving saving the president or showing the FBI being somewhat competent need to begin with a disclaimer that says, “This film takes place in an alternate universe where the United States is not under the dominion of complete fucking idiot Nazis assholes.”
Speaking of disclaimers, this post is going to include some nasty hate speech. It wasn’t written by me; it was aimed at me. I’ll give you another warning before we get to it.
Anyway, after the 2020 election the MAGAts, urged on by Voldemoron, wailed about how the election was stolen. One of the Nazi media members who pushed that lie the hardest was Dan Fucking Bongino. In the week following the election, Bongino’s fascist podcast was #1 on iTunes, beating both Rogan and the New York Times The Daily.
Bingobongo is a former New York cop, a former Secret Service agent, and a three-time failed congressional candidate. He wrote a “life inside the Secret Service” book that his former colleagues at the Secret Service criticized as being full of shit. For a long time now he’s been a podcaster and one of the Manchurian Cantaloupe’s biggest supporters. And the Danger Yam only wants sycophants in positions of power, which is why he just tagged Adolph Bongino as Deputy Direct of the U.S. Staatspolizei aka the FBI.
Kash Patel is an entire cave full of batshit, but I’m writing about Danger Dan because he once attacked me on his podcast, unleashing his legions of MAGAt minions.
Not long after the January 6, 2021, insurrection, Dan had a shrieking meltdown on Fox over Amazon Web Services dropping Parler. Remember Parler? It was Nazi Twitter before Anal Musk transformed Twitter into Nazi Twitter. What did I write that instilled such ire in a guy with a massive hate-spewing platform to come after me? On January 8th, in response to Trump getting punted from Twitter for inciting an insurrection, Dan made the following tweet, kissing his 2.5 million Twitter followers goodbye:
This will be my final post on this anti-American platform. The greatest threats to liberty are the destructive tech tyrants who have acted as publishers in their ongoing wars on conservatives & free speech. You can find me on Parler, where we respect free speech. I’m dbongino.
There were 18,000 replies, and 3,300 quote tweets (that’s a retweet with added commentary by the retweeter). Glancing through them, he got made fun of by a LOT of people, many of whom were Twitter Verified and had much larger followings than me. I did a quote tweet. This is what I wrote to accompany his flounce:
Hey, Dan Bongino. Tried to find you on Parler. Not working. What's going on? I thought you invested in that platform. Please tell me you didn't sink a bunch of money into a platform that's gone defunct. That would be terrible for you. So very terrible.
And yes, he did invest in Parler, saying he purchased an “ownership stake” in it, so he probably lost a lot of money and was pissed about that. Boo fucking hoo. Why did he choose me, out of thousands of people, to target for his ire on his podcast? Probably because I had a decent following and had a blue check back when it was worth something, and also that I listed in my bio two newspapers that I used to write for, and he used that as a method to attack me.
The morning after I made my tweet, I noticed I was starting to get hate in my Twitter mentions. More than usual, that is. Most of the people who were sending the hate had minimal followers. Usually fewer than 20. Some had zero. Their bios were full of #MAGA and #KAG and words like “patriot” and “Christian”.
On the day this went down Dan’s Facebook page had both the #1 and the #4 most popular posts for ALL of Facebook, and yet he cried about his freedom of speech being taken away. On his podcast he showed a screenshot of my Twitter profile and referred to me being a writer for the “fake news” Los Angeles Times and the “fake news” Chicago Tribune and of course mentioned me having pronouns in my bio.
On Twitter alone, I had hundreds of mentions. But I guess Twitter hate alone wasn’t good enough and many decided they needed to seek out my email address and send me their well thought out and grammatically creative opinions that way. They also found me on my Facebook page, and I got dozens of DMs there, as well as plenty of comments in various posts I’d made on the page.
Anyway, what did these people say? Well, a bunch of bigoted, stupid, homophobic garbage, mostly. And it only lasted a day, as I knew it would. I was the target of ire of the day, and then it was over, and they moved on to whoever else Bongino pointed them at the following day. You may want to stop reading soon. I’ll write my conclusion now and follow it with a gruesome addendum of an example of just one of the emails I was sent.
The email gives an insight into the minds of the typical Bongino acolyte, as well as the overwhelming hatred held in the dark hearts of the people who stormed the Capitol Building and those who returned the Danger Yam to power. It’s also why I have no tolerance for these fucking idiots. I don’t consider supporting Nazis as “different political views.” I consider it as you being a piece of shit who can fuck off into oblivion so far that you can say hi to Uranus on your way into deep fucking space.
It’s also why I love it when Nazis suffer consequences for being fucking Nazis. If they engage in egregious behavior and suffer marginalization, loss of employment, or public shaming as real consequences for behaving like a piece of shit, perhaps it will give them pause.
Aw, shit. Bubba lost his job at the poo factory cuz dem libturds ratted him out to his boss for being a Nazi. Fuckin’ libturds. Still, mebbe I should delete that post on the tweeter about Hitler bein’ awesome an’ shit. I needs to buy more diesel for ma coal rollin’.
Or something like that. I do NOT want to be unified with fascist bigots and Nazi asswipes. Anyway, that email. It’s pretty horrible, and it’s just a sample out of hundreds of hate-filled messages I received. With an asshole fan base like this and Dan being appointed massive policing powers for the U.S., there is no fucking way I’m traveling to the U.S. while Coppertone Caligula and his Schutzstaffel are in charge. Especially since Bongino recently said on his podcast that Trump can ignore the courts and is above the law.
Anyway, here is that email, which again was just a single example of a flood of hate I received. If you don’t want to read it because of the hate speech warning, just stop here. Except maybe buy my sweary history books before you go.

This was the subject line: So you want to talk shit to Dan Bongino over Parlor, eh FAGGOT
The dumbfuck can’t even spell the name of the platform that got cancelled. This is the body of the email:
Ha listen up you fucking cowardly twerp, you bring your queer faggot ass down her to the land of the free because of the brave and you talk your shit you Commie
Come on FAGGOT, I'd love for you to run your big bitch ass mouth to me faggot ass queer reprobate. You don't have the balls.
Boy speaking of reprobates I'll bet your booty buddies with BIG Mike. AKA trans gender michelle obama and her/his. Eh what the fuck ITS husband BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. Kenia is missing its village idiot. Anyways two faggots in a pod, you can make the third, eh queer.
Ha FAGGOT, does your BITCH ASS whore of a wife know you slide both ways. I hear she is one UGLY fucking slut, and works the streets. So your both reprobates.
Ha FAG, you have a great day, tell the RCMP to SUCK my fucking ass when you call them on me. You tell those jack booted thus queers in high heels I fucking dare them to come after me. That would be a blast, but not for them.
Get both volumes of ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY SH!T WENT DOWN.
Oh my god! Seriously! That email was almost unreadable with the run-on sentences, bad punctuation, and the spelling errors!
I have a lot of fear for my country and I’m doing my best to protect my mental health. Yet, I think about all those people who don’t have the privilege I do and cannot “turn it off” so to speak. I’m doing my best to channel the fear into doing something for my community. But is it enough?
Thank you, as always, for being brave. For putting up with the trolls and haters. For having a thick skin. For doing what you believe is the right thing. I hope, as things continue to move forward under this regime, more people (including myself) hold the American dictators and all the cronies accountable. By voting. By protesting. By communicating. By serving their community.
Fucking disgusting.
Truly. If I didn't already live here, I wouldn't visit either. (I can't afford to leave....)
