FIGHTING THE FASCISTS WHO WANT TO REPLACE DEMOCRACY WITH OLIGARCHY Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

Thom reads the articles of impeachment drawn up against Trump for incitement of his rally crowd to commit deadly sedition. Will we take action now to remove this dangerous president from office?

And we hear a sampling of the testimony before Congress on whether to ask Mike Pence to invoke the 25th amendment.

WE MUST HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY- FOR THE BIG FISH TOO Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

Who is truly responsible for causing seditious rioters to hunt for Congressional leaders in the capitol building? Are right wing propaganda outlets like Fox to blame? Was all this a failed attempt to give Trump an excuse to revoke habeas corpus and declare a state of emergency? We must have accountability not only for the little fish who attacked our government, but also for the big fish who have been lying to them.

Veteran talk show host Joe Madison joins Thom to dissect the deeper meaning of these events.

TRUMP AND HIS RIOTERS MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE Jan 09, 2021

Show notes

Impeachment and the 25th Amendment are two ways we can stop Trump. But what about his violent supporters? Can prosecutors be lobbied to put would be insurrectionists behind bars?

HAVE WE FINALLY WOKEN UP TO THE UGLY FACE OF AMERICAN FASCISM? Jan 08, 2021

Show notes

Mike Pence has said he will not invoke the 25th amendment, so will Congress get it together to impeach Mr. Crazy while he has his finger on the nuclear button? How can we be protected from the actions of this man who Dr. Justin Frank has predicted is likely to be a danger to himself and others as the reality of his election loss sets in? Was the attack on the capitol a dress rehearsal for violence when Biden is sworn in on the 20th?

Thom dissects the implications of these events- could Trump be liable for felony murder for encouraging the attack on the capitol that led to several deaths?.. Is censoring a US President on social media a dangerous precedent?.. What must we do about all this?

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW! Jan 07, 2021

Show notes

How much damage can Trump do in 13 days? Can he and will he be restrained by either impeachment or the 25th amendment? Will Trump behave like other authoritarian leaders on the past and try to take the rest of us with him as he goes out? Should we expect Republicans to stick with Trump to the bitter end?

STOPPING THE FASCIST TRUMP TRAIN AS HE LEAVES THE STATION Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

Pundits across the American political spectrum are wringing their hands about the fate and future of the "dirty dozen" Republican senators challenging Biden's election. One of the most widespread stories about their motivation is that they're "afraid of Trump" or are "worried about being primaried." Both ideas are wrong.

TRUMP IS ONLY A SYMPTOM OF THE SICKNESS WE MUST CURE Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

Donald Trump never would have been president if the Supreme Court had not effectively made political bribery illegal. Can we get the money out of politics or are we likely to end up with an authoritarian takeover? Is it time to stop thinking about Trump but instead of the future fascist movement he has given voice and life to?

Plus, investigative journalist Greg Palast reports from on the ground in Georgia.
