THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
The impeachment cover-up proceeds at breakneck pace. Republicans do not bother to even give the appearance of propriety, but are perfectly happy to operate their criminal enterprise in full daylight. What that says about them and the supporters of this criminal organization. As far as the impeachment itself, its merits only get clearer and clearer; this week, with the testimony and release of documents by Giuliani "associate" and obvious thug Lev Parnas. Trump is in the laughable position of having his association with nothing but petty criminals and thugs be his best defense to their testimony against him!
We also discuss the most recent Democratic debate and how it shows tremendous unity among the Democrats in their support of progressive policy positions...thanks in large part to Bernie Sanders with a big assist from Elizabeth Warren. Also, how the debate shows tremendous contrast between the Democratic party's efforts to promote the interests of US citizens and the rival Republican criminal organization that has no interest in such niceties. The winner of the adult portion of the election, the Democratic Party, will emerge to enter the "child's play" portion of the election against the man-child-in-chief.
Finally, Dave talks about the firing of Mets manager Carlos Beltran due to his role in the latest baseball cheating scandal and our cheating culture.

Ep. 1.14.20: World [Not] At War! (with Iran, anyway)

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
Dave provides his thoughts on our blundering into war with Iran. As we contemplate Donald Trump's strategy in assassination a revered Iranian general, we have a chance to review different types of planning, and consider the fact that our President is incapable of any of them. Sure, he is only disposed to consider his own interests in everything he does, but is he capable of advancing even those? One thing is for certain; he is not advancing the interests of anyone else other than our enemies.
We also talk about how Trump's march to war with Iran should not obscure the other wars he has been waging throughout his presidency; wars on decency, humanity, truth, reason, the interests of the United States...and of course our planet.

In response to listeners' requests, we have put up our special "12 Days of Trump Christmas" by itself, for those who would like to share it without all the brain-draining stuff. Although we retain our copyright, we happily extend our permission to share it and use it for personal use (ie, we're okay with your making it your ringtone.)
Our next regularly-scheduled (maybe not so regularly) will be up very soon!

Ep. 1.4.20: The 12 Days of Trump Christmas

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
Dave sings a very special "12 Days of Christmas" for our supreme leader, then muses on the new year and the fascist threat 2020 ushers in with it. It is a very fraught new year indeed, which figures to have this country fighting for its life.
In addition to Trump, we discuss some of the other trash that has been in the news over the holidays; mostly of the privileged rich variety, but we also discuss the meaning of having a sociopathic murderer become the darling of the President of the United States and his political faction (band of cronies). Finally, speaking of Trump's henchmen, Dave looks at the latest seemingly-quixotic Democratic hopes of convincing four Republican Senators to care about the US Constitution and their oaths of office.
