Ep 769: No, Right Wing Media, Michelle Obama Won't Be President Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

Right wing media is masturbating (we said what we said) over their brain fantasy that Michelle Obama will run for President. They also prefer "vibes" to "facts" whether talking about the Constitution or the economy. How to talk to neighbors about the "bad" economy that let them go on that Disney cruise last month. This and the week's news and politics...more at proleftpod.com.
Link for this episode: Media Matters, "In 2023, right-wing media kept bizarrely claiming that a fix was in to make Michelle Obama the Democratic presidential candidate."

Ep 766 Pay Up Rudy and Thank You Colorado Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

It's the time of the year when we celebrate Zappadan miracles. Rudy is bankrupt, Trump won't be on the ballot in Colorado, and Fox isn't talking about any of that and also neglects to tell their audience about the missing Russia Intel Binder. Which is a bfd. The other things not talked about matter: Win Red and the Oath Keepers. Because Trump invited those found guilty of Seditious Conspiracy to Washington DC and Jack Smith has the receipts.

Ep 764 | Paul Ryan Can Eff Right Off Dec 14, 2023

Show notes

Republicans vote for a fake impeachment inquiry and run away to Christmas vacay. Paul Ryan and others in 2023 sound like Driftglass 2006. Blue Gal has ideas about what to do about Trump trial fatigue. More at proleftpod.com.

Ep 762 Is Our Media Learning? Dec 07, 2023

Show notes

The media goes from comatose to merely semi-comatose about the threat of a second Trump presidency. Blue Gal writes to the HHS Secretary about her healthcare costs. Another interesting analogy from Driftglass, this time about "TV mind." Three people in the world (at least) say don't promote Liz Cheney to the helm. More at proleftpod.com.
