THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
Death and life are in the news this week as iconic Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passes away, official US COVID death passes 200,000, and evidence of extraterrestrial life may be discovered around Venus. We discuss how trump and his supporters continue to show that there had better be intelligent life somewhere out in space because there is none in the republican party.
Dave discusses the impact of RBG's death and the GOP rush to fill her seat. Democrats are being left with no choice but to put down their olive branches as republicans continue to push us towards civil war. Will their race to fill RBG's seat finally show people how despicable they really are?
Trump shows again how much he respects his supporters, calling them disgusting as he continues to sacrifice them, and better people, to COVID. By corrupting the CDC and its MMWR, Trump continues his war on US health care, even as he continues his war on US health care...and reality at large Trump shows that when it comes to COVID, health care, civil rights, and more, he is not only a disgrace, he is absolutely clueless. But he has a lot of help.

Ep. 9.13.20: Murder, not Incompetence; Trump talks to Bob Woodward

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
President Trump takes his case for greatest all-time mass murderer of Americans to another level by admitting intent to Bob Woodward. In another example of explosive yet completely unsurprising revelations about our President, Trump continues to show that he is his own--and our--worst enemy by admitting to the veteran journalist that he knew for months how bad COVID was while he was telling the American public otherwise. Turns out this particular snake oil salesman knew he was selling toxic snake oil (injectable bleach, perhaps?) to the rubes who follow him. He also reminds us why this President couldn't merit a security clearance.
The US west coast burns in record wildfires and unknown numbers of Americans perish. So Dave admits that our accounting of the numbers of Americans murdered by Trump and the GOP will sell them short, since we don't have a formula for attributing to them the climate change-related deaths they have caused.
Dave also looks at recent court decisions and talks about the vicious cycle now on display in Trump-GOP-world: the courts help the GOP steal elections, so the GOP can pack the courts with more apparatchiks who will help them steal more elections, and so on, until this country spirals to oblivion. We also look at pro athletes who are proving themselves to be exemplary role models, and talk about choosing role models wisely, and briefly look at Facebook's decisions to ban new political ads the week before the election.

Ep. 9.8.20: Trump Murders Tom Terrific

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
President Trump burnishes his case for greatest mass murderer of Americans by killing baseball legend Tom Seaver...now among the tens of thousands of COVID victims attributable to Killer Trump. We also mourn baseball legend Lou Brock, but we don't know if he goes in Trump's "win" column.
Jerry Falwell, Jr. continues to show the humorous side of right-wing Evangelical cult leaders and their disdain for their own flocks...at least when we're not thinking of the threat they and their cult followers pose to civilization.
Same goes for the President and the military, as President Bone Spurs shows how much he loves the military by calling fallen soldiers "losers". Meanwhile, the military continues to expose its "rape culture, racism, corruption and impunity," which explains its affinity for Trump, as some US soldiers find it safer to be fighting a war than living on US military bases.
Dave opines on Trump's latest efforts to steal the election. As the US military war-games against Russia, the President and his Republican criminal organization show which side they're on. Unnecessary Hint: it's not our side.
