The new Speaker of the House deleted his entire website and his entire record of his podcast a day after getting the job. Wouldn't want people to have it.

Man, too bad there aren't any archivists who knew to grab it immediately.

@textfiles Read about one of the people who did grab the podcast and listened to it who said it is full of racism, anti-Semitism, and eliminationist anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. Spread it far and wide.
@SazeracLA @textfiles
Democrats will be using those podcasts in ads against Republicans in Biden districts. Voting unanimously for this zealot may come back to bite them.

@textfiles

you wouldn't archive a podcast

@textfiles The more we learn about this guy, the worse it gets.
@textfiles Links, or look it up on Archive.org?
@MHowell @textfiles Yeah, I assume the Wayback Machine will have at least something.
@textfiles Is it one podcast or several? I hope someone in the media will do some homework on this. Sheesh. Johnson is now second in the line of succession. We have a right to know who he is, what his history is, etc.

@textfiles OH HIS WIFE IS A PIECE OF WORK TOO

And then there's the thing with his adopted son which raises more red flags than a matador convention

@Foxhack @textfiles

"more red flags than a matador convention"

Thank you for this :)

@textfiles This doesn't make sense. He's in his position /because/ of his views.
@nonlinear there's a difference between getting hired because of your views and stated goals, and having everything you've said when you were a low ranking member of Congress available for everyone to grab and interrogate

@textfiles

cuz thats what I want...

@textfiles
Publishers' recent war on archive.org could really benefit these kind of shenanigans.

@textfiles

How about the funding by Russian actors...

@textfiles for all their supposed ability, these guys aren't actually all that smart, are they. Time and again they do things. Like our tor idiots in UK who reckon they can lose all their WhatsApp history by saying they had to a new mobile. And then the fools who believe them.
