Donate The Player, Hate The Game Dec 27, 2019

Show notes

Trump commits more crimes, making the minimum cost for a Trump Hotel room 13 times the average for a campaign fundraiser. Bloomberg and Steyer have spent over $200 million in campaign ads so far, more than doubling every single other Dem candidate COMBINED. Pete Buttigieg's campaign puts into effect a small dollar donation scam to lower his average donation rate. Testimonies by Navy SEALs condemning Ed Gallagher are released and depict a bloodthirsty war criminal who ""was proud"" to ""kill anybody he could."" Anti-vaxx propaganda on FOX and elsewhere fuels record measles outbreak in the US.

The Trump Who Stole Christmas Dec 26, 2019

Show notes

The Trump campaign provides Christmas dinner talking points to its base, all of which are obviously full of lies. Trump policies attacking the poor also kick in just in time for the holidays, making our current President the clear embodiment of Krampus. Jordan Uhl LIVE on the Bloomberg campaign exploiting prisoners and Democratic insiders starting to take Bernie's shot at the 2020 nomination seriously. Trump loosens FDA regulations for pork, making it so 90% of US pork is likely to be "unsafe" and full of poop, sex organs, toenails and hair. Francis Yasmeen Motiwalla LIVE on her candidacy for CA-34 and the benefits of a truly progressive foreign policy. New polling looks at who is willing to defect from their preferred Democratic candidate to beat Trump and the myth of the secret pro-Trump 'Bernie Bro' is yet again debunked.

Laughing At Trump All The Way Dec 25, 2019

Show notes

Recapping all of Trump's most embarrassing moments in just 2019 is hard to squeeze into an hour-long show, but for the holidays we decided to try. First, Trump struggles to form coherent sentences during his border visit. Then, we revisit Trump's origin story, which of course turned out to be a complete lie. Chinese officials then laugh in Trump's face as his advisors need to explain important policy terms to him in front of the press. We review the origins of the Trump-Fox news feud, which began with hosts admitting the President's poll numbers weren't looking all that great. Finally, when asked about the Bible, Trump's answer reveals his less-than-holy understanding of religion.

Jingle Hell Rock Dec 24, 2019

Show notes

Trump's tariffs harm the South, Midwest and entire world. 1991 Bernie was already pitching Green New Deal-style climate reforms. Polling shows that both Democratic and Republican voters overwhelmingly prioritize impeachment over policy. A new Media Matters study shows that while the media is getting better at debunking Trump's lies, they're still not great at it. 33% of American households delay healthcare treatment due to high costs, which has devastating effects on both US citizens and the country's economy.

Eddie Murphy vs. Bill Cosby Dec 23, 2019

Show notes

Trump's tax cuts are as terrible as we predicted, except if you're rich. Sema Hernandez LIVE on why she's the best candidate to represent Texas in the US Senate and how she's taking on the Democratic and Republican establishments. Pete Buttigieg gets caught shamelessly courting rich donors yet again, while a 2010 video of him resurfaces condemning big dollar donations. Eddie Murphy's comeback to SNL featured a Bill Cosby joke that reignited the feud between the two, with Cosby calling Murphy a "Hollywood slave." Meanwhile in...Laos, there is no evidence that wild tigers still exist. Meanwhile in...the UAE, messaging app ToTok is in fact a secret spying tool.
