wasn't there a thing about the New World being a dumping ground for Sepahardic jews while columbus and the Spanish king tried to bring around their milllenial agenda to bring around the kingdom of heaven.So does a MacIsaac fit into that conspiracy or are they 200 years late? Scotland being declared free of jews to bring around its Ku Klux Klan roots scenario?Or did i just invent a racist conspiracy

I don't believe the McIsaacs are some long lost clan of Judeo-Gaels, no. More likely just some Highlanders driven off their lands and forced to go to Canada (you decide what's worse).

The interview is out there, and though he is a giant creep, it's pretty obvious that he was simply tucking the shirt back in. I'm not sure why people go out of their way to make up things about people that are gross enough for legitimate reasons already.

Oh right, I thought this was referring to Sacha Baron Cohen, in which case I was going to agree with you.

Always thought the obvious next step for sbc’s career after borat would have been to just do a straight up blackface routine and see if liberals still claimed it as amazing satire as long as he remembered to sometimes cut away to some trailer park rando politely humouring him

I'll just say that SBC and Rudy deserve one another. Perhaps they will sign up their lawyers to engage in a cage death match, fueled by shovelfuls of their money, and Rudy will die long before the suit is decided. That would be a good outcome.

SBC making fun of racism via an antisemetic character is not analogous to SBC making fun of racism via blackface. It is akin to Spike Lee, Damon Wayans, and Tommy Davison making fun of racism via blackface.

Kazakhstan is not in Eastern Europe, not that SBC cares, they're all just interchangeable funny foreigners to him.

Pretty much. Then again, part of the point with Borat is that he’s ultimately a composite of Western prejudices about the ex-USSR.

The 'Kazakh' scenes are shot in Romania I think!

The TV Borat character was probably a collection of "lol foreigners" micro-tropes that picked his country for the amusing K and Z sounds; the new film uses its fictional version of Kazakhstan as a way to reflect the narrow worldview of Trumpist America.

I guess I'm a little sensitive about all the lies and the gullibility, and by default I want to believe that "they" are always the liars and the gullible and I'm disappointed when that's not the case. I just can't be bothered to ever get invested if almost everything is just some degree of partial truths and fiction but either way you're meant to gobble it up completely if it validates your "side" or puts the other in a bad light. It's exhausting to me.

Eh, it's exercise for yr critical thinking skills. One of the few 'both sides!'-isms I'll indulge is that people on both sides can definitely be overly-credulous and also engage in bad faith, baseless arguments. It can be exhausting but it also isn't safe in general to assume that people on your side are going to be wholly beholden to the facts.

Mr. Kurson was also a longtime associate of Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, and helped manage his short-lived 2008 presidential campaign. He now runs a media company and works in the cryptocurrency industry.
This sounds like the post-credits update about the villain in a college geeks v. jocks comedy (a la Animal House).
