NATO is a Red Herring Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another week of us anxiously anticipating a European land war while contending with rising autocracy at home! We start out by analyzing the Trump crime cult's destruction of federal records, contemplate who in the admin may have been responsible, and put it in the context of the nationwide book bannings and assault on collective memory. Sarah also gives the backstory into the strange circumstances that launched career criminal coverup guy Bill Barr into the Attorney General position in 1991.

Putin's Terrorism and What to Do About It Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

Congratulations, you survived January 2022! Now it's time for another disaster -- Putin's scheduled escalation of his ongoing invasion of Ukraine, which he announced months ago, thus giving his oligarchs plenty of time to get their dirty financial affairs in order. We dig deep into this complex conflict, examining the humanitarian toll it takes on Ukraine, Putin's ambitions for other regions of the world (more on that in our Patreon bonus!), the American exploitation of the conflict for partisan purposes and the way the West can force Putin's hand and clean its own house at the same time: sanction the oligarchs!

Insurrectionist Election Playbook Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

In June 2021, we did a Gaslit Nation episode called "Voter Suppression Emergency" where we interviewed election integrity expert Ari Berman. Guess what? We're still in a Voter Suppression Emergency so Ari is back to share his thoughts with us again! Ari Berman is a writer for Mother Jones who closely documents dark money, voter suppression, and the ever-changing laws that GOP legislatures are using and abusing to hijack our democracy. He has long followed the power struggle for progressive values and democracy in Washington, and his books include Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America and Herding Donkeys: The Fight to Rebuild the Democratic Party and Reshape American Politics.

Karen of the Senate Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

This week we examine what drove Koched-up Karen of the Senate Kyrsten Sinema to destroy voting rights on Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. We dig into Sinema's questionable past and shady backers and debate rumors about her political future. We also discuss how unless Congress passes voting rights protections, it doesn't matter who runs in 2024, because the election will be determined not by candidate popularity but by the most extreme voter suppression laws since the era before the VRA.

Merrick Garland Both-Sides The Coup Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

It has now been over a year since the worst attack on the Capitol since 1812, and Attorney General Merrick Garland has responded to the ongoing threat of bloody sequel coups and the rapid erosion of our democracy with…a tepid speech. We break down his weasel words and analyze his "probe" that consists of rounding up minor participants and giving them sentences so light or slow that they can commit vehicular manslaughter while they wait, and discuss why he continues to ignore the criminal elites at the helm.

Our January 6 Anniversary Special Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

We'll discuss Merrick Garland's press conference in next week's episode. For today's somber one year anniversary of Trump's attempted coup, we're sharing with the public, along with some additional commentary, our pre-announced January 6th, 2020 special that ran on Patreon. We encourage you to share with us what your initial reaction was that day -- it's important to stay grounded in this time of chaos agents. So share your story with us on Twitter or by sending us a note at gaslitnation@gmail.com.

Mob Mentality Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to the first Gaslit Nation episode of 2022! Just think, one year ago we were all sitting around in a plague waiting for an attempted coup to happen, and now we are…sitting around in a plague waiting for an attempted coup to happen. And by the same coup plotters, too because mafia state enabler Merrick Garland refuses to hold criminal elites accountable!
