TRUMP FLAUNTS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

Reporters and news organizations are citing the First Amendment protection of the press, but the Trump administration is basically saying that it doesn’t give a damn about the press or the Constitution. They’ll simply shoot at, gas or violently beat with billy clubs, whoever they want, they are arguing in court.

If the Trump administration prevails here in Portland, and if this goes up through the chain all the way to the Supreme Court and they prevail there, this will do major and possibly irreparable damage to democracy in the United States.

Tony Corbo, the senior lobbyist of Food and Water Watch's Food Campaign joins Thom Hartmann to discuss the implications of Trump allowing cancerous, virus infected chicken on your dinner plate!

And will Trump's racism succeed with hiding his attack on the Constitution while mobilizing his white base?

THE REPUBLICAN WAR ON THE POST OFFICE, UNIONS, and DEMOCRACY ITSELF Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

Is Trump's Postmaster General trying to starve the Post Office as a part of the Republican war on government and unions? Or are the steps he's taken to slow mail delivery meant to undermine vote by mail? Mark Dimondstein of the American Postal Workers Union joins Thom for the view from the inside.

And meanwhile- is what is going on in Portland a trial run for a much bigger crisis Trump hopes to provoke in cities across the nation?- And will Chicago succeed in keeping Trump's unaccountable goons off their streets?

TRUMP'S BLACKSHIRTS CRACKING DOWN IN PORTLAND Jul 18, 2020

Show notes

As Trump deploys Homeland Security police forces to Democratic-controlled cities, and even randomly arresting protesters with unmarked vans... what is this really about? Is this extra-judicial practice a test to see what he can get away with in the runup to the election? Aaron Mesh, News Editor at Willamette Week describes the brutality of these attacks on our constitutional rights. And we hear from protesters on the ground in Portland with what they're observing.

Plus - why it might not be a good idea to impeach Trump twice?.. Why are Republicans blocking laws that would make it illegal to take non-financial support from foreign governments?.. Crazy conservative conspiracies around Covid vaccines... And- why RICO isn't effective against the actual criminal conspiracies of the very rich.
