Ep. 5.31.19: Mueller Speaks! (Trump Whines)

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
We discuss (former) Special Counsel Robert Mueller's first--and brief--statements about his report, and what they say about the case for impeaching the President. We look at it and other news of the week in the context of the two perhaps defining issues of our day: the huge gulf between the two political parties and the right-wing propaganda machine that helps explain the Republican Party's insanity. The two parties differ as to whether the war on climate change should be a battle against planetary destruction, or a battle against science. The USS John McCain incident shows who the biggest whiny snowflake is, and the dissemination of doctored videos of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and further lies regarding the census show just how far Republicans will go in lying to the American public to maintain minority power.

Ep. 5.24.19: Reforming the American Voter

This Week’s Discussion:
Trump excites his base for the 2020 election by keeping a black woman off the $20 bill. Trump has hissy fit: says he won't do his job because Speaker Pelosi accused him of a cover-up. No, seriously. Meanwhile, he seeks to cover-up his money laundering with Deutsche Bank as the evidence against him accumulates. A look at some of the latest examples of "the best people" he has brought into our government, including the continuing assault on our environment and the latest efforts to seek the help of foreign powers in the coming presidential election. Then we take a longer look at much of what is wrong with US democracy--the US voter--and discuss some ideas for how to make democracy in this country work.

Ep. 5.17.19: Cold War, Hot War, Trade War: Any War You'd LIke!

This Week’s Discussion:
Alabama passes the most rigid anti-abortion law in the country. Republicans present the Supreme Court with an opportunity to overturn Roe v. Wade, and their voters with more motivation to get out to vote in 2020. Their opportunity to continue to elect leaders who will fill our courts with right-wing judges that will impose their extremist religious views on people much better and brighter than themselves better give the rest of us the same motivation. Trump's newly-announced immigration policy is all about reinforcing privilege; what a surprise! Finally, whatever type of war you prefer, the Trump has something especially for you! We escalate our existing trade and cold wars and really seem to be manipulating our way into a hot war with Iran. Is this the moment we have been fearing since trump took over? Too bad there are no cooler heads left to prevail.
