Wreck-it Ron Breaks the Internet May 29, 2023

Show notes

Puddin' Fingers is officially running for president, and his campaign launch on Twitter was as disastrous as it was hilarious. Also this week, Trump could see charges from Jack Smith in the Mar-a-largo case as soon as next week, Biden and McCarthy reach a deal to raise the debt ceiling, Lauren Boebert thinks that wolves are a greater danger to the American people than guns, and Tim Scott does a Howard Dean.

Drop Bongs, Not Bombs May 02, 2023

Show notes

The uniquely American problem that is gun violence continues to be ignored or brushed off by Republican lawmakers as the body count continues to rise. Meanwhile, Greg Abbott seems to think that a person's immigration status is of significant relevance when they are gunned down in their home, even when one of them is 9 years old. Also this week, McCurtain County OK is super racist and there are tapes, Kevin Stitt is acting like a child that didn't get what they wanted for Christmas at the expense of the people of his state, and a look into the selling of fear.

Puddin’ Finger Pivot Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

We are getting 3 knuckles deep into the issues facing the nation this week on Maximum News! Ron DeSantis made some more disgusting moves this week, but none perhaps more disgusting than the way he chooses to imbibe his pudding cups. Trump has chosen to capitalize on this by making one of the grossest attack ads in modern history. Also this week, TN reps Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were bot reinstated to their house seats, Clarence Thomas has got to go, Trump wanted to know identities of jurors in E. Jean Carroll case and a judge said absolutely not, and who the fuck is Matthew Kascmaryk?

Free the Tennessee 3 Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

"YOU BAN BOOKS, YOU BAN DRAG, KIDS ARE STILL IN BODY BAGS!" These are the powerful chants from the people inside the Tennessee Capitol. Meanwhile, 3 lawmakers that joined in the peaceful protests for gun laws are being removed from committees and potentially expelled from their duly elected seats by the state GOP. As I'm typing this, the votes have finished and the 2 black lawmakers have been expelled, while the lone white woman was spared. The state of Tennessee has spoken loud and clear about where there priorities are when it comes to speaking out against gun violence, and in doing so may have inadvertently given the Democratic party 2 new superstars. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson definitely aren't going anywhere any time soon. Also this week, Mike Pence won't fight subpoena for testimony in Jan 6 case, MTG gets shouted out of her own pretest in New York, and more revelations about just how compromised the integrity of Clarence Thomas may be.
