Ep 673: Happy Birthday Driftglass and Midterms Sanity Saving Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

10-28-2022 | It's the 62nd trip around the Sun for Driftglass, while later in the week, Blue Gal celebrates her 18th blogiversary. Driftglass notes that for Michael Gerson and other never-Trumpers, "The Road to Damascus" ended ten years ago. Our election sanity-saving advice? Ignore the polls, get your social circle to vote, do what you can to canvass, and then watch Caddyshack. More at http://proleftpod.com.

Ep 672: The Republican Elite Hates Republicans Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

10-21-2022 | Lying, gaslighting, and exploiting: it's what the Republican elite does TO the rank and file of their own party. Also, Durham fails to Benghazi, or does he? And we look back ten years ago when we podcasted about a different, yet similar, election cycle. More at:
