The Self-Flagellation of the GOP with Michael Cohen Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

The Meidas Brothers begin the show by talking about being attacked by far right Breitbart and the hate mail that ensued. They then discuss nobody’s favorite, Lil’ Stephen Lawson, who infamously did not make a name for himself as he drove Looting Kelly Loeffler’s campaign into the ground. Now, Lawson is ready to take his lack of skills to a new PAC with the goal of tearing down the non-existent candidacy of Stacy Abrams. Meanwhile, the GOP is engaging in an all out assault on voting rights. The brothers then discuss that phenomenon of the #PsakiBomb! After, they discuss their frustration with so-called “progressive” chaos agents who possess zero understanding about how government works, and psychotic forces at work on the right trying to derail President Biden’s Agenda. Ben breaks down the process of reconciliation and explains how this can help the Dems pass legislation with a simple majority. Next, the brothers bring you the latest on impeachment and discuss the coup in Myanmar. Michael Cohen, former Trump fixer and attorney and host of the Mea Culpa Podcast, joins the program to discuss the GOP’s support of QAnon, whether he will be appearing at the impeachment trial, and the criminal investigations into Trump. The brothers then end the show by talking about the anti-vaxxers disrupting vaccine distribution across the country, before getting an update from Jordy on his recent appointment with his allergist.
