Ep. 12.25.18: Shut Down Trump, Not the Government!

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS

This Week’s Discussion:

In this week’s episode we talk about Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and President Trump seeking to calm financial markets in light of worst stock market month since the Great Depression.  We discuss the latest on the government shutdown and what it means to have the criminal and the insane running the country, including the continuing power of the right-wing fringes and the need for a really big...wall.  The Trump Foundation, aka the Trump family pocketbook, is shut down.  Does this mean we might talk about it for a while, rather than an actual charity like the Clinton Global Initiative?  Nah!  The departure of the stabilizing influence of Defense Secretary "Mad Dog" Mattis and what is left "running" the country as Trump lashes out wildly at all around him, including Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and anyone else he can blame for his incompetence.  The war in Syria ends?  The battle against ISIS as well?  Which former President is Trump most like?  (Hint: it's the one whose presidential fate we want him to share.)  And yet, if we can just survive Trump, there are so many hopeful signs for the future as Republican shibboleths continue to go up in flames.  IF.
