THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
Dave looks to add substance to another presidential debate that had precious little on its own. A debate that has value only to those awakening from a years-long slumber who are blissfully unaware of the disgrace that is the US President. He and his whole criminal party continue to demonstrate that they are incapable of caring about another human being.
Trump's constant lying throughout the debate, and his presidency, are indicative of the right-wing propaganda mill for which reality is an enemy. Dave talks about how that has created a likely-insuperable divide in this country, with reality the boundary. It is why civilized people are looking at the current election as hostages dreaming of freedom from the most evil and stupid human beings to walk the earth.

Ep.10.15.20: Flies Drawn to Shit
Thursday Oct 15, 2020

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
Dave discusses the VP debate, ramming through a Supreme Court apparatchik, the latest in COVID, and, through it all, the inability of decent people to grasp how profound is the evil of the republican criminal organization.
The main takeaway from the VP debate is that flies really are drawn to shit. Pence tells us that in order to love America you must be a mindless trump cultist, and he certainly fits that bill.
Amy Coney Barrett, in turn, gives us insight into the mind of a religious zealot of the right. Apparently, Jesus was all about the Benjamins. The religious extremism will destroy the rights of millions, but it is really just a facade for morons engineered by the super-rich, that just wants more, and is happy to destroy lives to get it.
Republican show their stripes in a busy week of theft. They steal votes by setting up fake ballot drop-off boxes, showing there is no level of election theft they are unlikely to stoop to. They tip off wealthy donors to the magnitude of the COVID threat so they can make a "killing" in the stock market, while putting their voters' lives at risk by downplaying the threat publicly. Their supporters plan for the upcoming civil war they seem to relish, in some cases by planning to kidnap Governor Whitmer of Michigan. They tell us outright that they plan to steal the election and more, and sane people still cannot comprehend the magnitude of the threat we are facing.

Ep 10.6.20: Humiliation! Part 2: Death but no Trump Taxes

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
The momentous week of Trump humiliations continues. Dave updates the conversation regarding Trump's COVID diagnosis and its aftermath. Having repeatedly downplayed the disease to the result of tens of thousands of unnecessary American deaths, Trump continues to go from negligent to murderous as he willfully inflicts others.
Then we talk about the Trump tax returns, which manage to be shocking and unsurprising at the same time. To no surprise, Trump is a spectacular loser and sleazebag. But what they tell us about the super-rich are the most valuable lessons for the future: they tend to be worthless leeches feeding on the American public.

Ep. 10.3.20: Humiliation! (Part 1: Trump gets COVID and "shut up, man!")

This Week’s Discussion:
It was a momentous week in news, as Trump repeatedly (again) humiliated himself and the US. Too much to explore in one episode, today Dave talks about how Trump gets the COVID he thought he had only been inflicting on others, right after he turns a presidential debate into a clown show. Tomorrow we'll talk about his tax returns, finally obtained by The NY Times.
Dave feels the same level of remorse for Trump getting COVID as the president himself has shown for the hundreds of thousands of others he inflicted. We do wish him better health, so he can suffer the rest of his life in prison. Dave wonders if the message to evangelicals is that God has decided to weigh in on the election and the US Supreme Court.
After more than four years embarrassing this country, Trump somehow manages to take it up a notch on an international stage. Biden captures the civilized world's thinking in a nutshell: "Will you shut up, man?" Trump refuses to condemn violent white supremacists, and even calls on this huge part of the GOP base to help him steal the election. Dave even finds some actual issues in the debacle to discuss.
