GRAND DRAGON OF MAR-A-LAGO Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

The Grand Dragon of today’s Ku Klux Kaucus is Donald Trump. He dumped his blog because he has nothing to say that anyone wants to hear beyond one single message. He’s not thinking deep thoughts about the economy, or the state of the nation’s infrastructure, or offering insights into the Middle East. There’s literally no philosophy Trump holds — other than one single idea — that truly matters to the vast majority of the Republicans who support him.

TIME TO GET RID OF THE FANTASY OF THE GOOD GUY WITH A GUN Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

What's it going to take for Americans to abandon the macho fantasy of a good guy with a gun?

When Is American going to realize that Trump buddies are still working to destroy America? Apparently Michael Flynn is still working for foreign governments. He was working for at least one, and probably two foreign governments when he was Trump’s national security advisor; he confessed to it when he was confronted with it by the FBI, pled guilty to it, and was convicted of it. That’s what Trump pardoned him for. Being a traitor. And now he’s calling for the US military to overthrow the government of the United States of America. He’s clearly still working for somebody other than America. Plus - the lies the right wing pushes about the 2nd amendment versus the reality of gun and police violence in America.
