  • Episode 140: #AssassinationPolitics #TrumpVeep #ConspiracyofDunces
    Jul 16 2024

    Cathy and Troy discuss the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and the politics of violence and conspiracy.

    Trump pledges unity, then defines unity as American loyalty to Trumpism, and his own absolute immunity.

    Then he chooses J.D. Vance to be his vice president, a MAGA extremist who opposes no-fault divorce, supports a national abortion ban, and who is even more pro-Russia than Trump.

    Judge Aileen Cannon throws out Trump's Mar-a-Lago stolen documents case in an obvious play to be the next Trump Supreme Court nomination.

    And Cathy deep dives the history of Presidential assassinations and attempts, from Andrew Jackson to Donald Trump.

  • Episode 139: #Trump'sProject2025Problem #RidinWithBiden? #EuroEuphoria
    Jul 10 2024

    Cathy and Troy continue our discussion of Biden potentially stepping down from the nomination and handing it off to Kamala Harris. Many more donors and key players have chimed in, including Nancy Pelosi and George Clooney, the latter signifying that Biden may have lost Hollywood, a key source of deep-pocketed donors that Democrats need to compete.

    While the choice remains with Biden, and we support the Democratic nominee against Trump whomever it may be, the time is running out to make a decision.

    Meanwhile, Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation wants us all to know that fascism is coming to the United States in a "bloodless revolution" and there isn't a God damn thing we can do about it.

    AOC files impeachment articles against Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito.

    The right-wing gets donkey punched in the UK and French elections. Could this be a bellwhether for the U.S. in the fall?

    And Cathy deep dives how elections work in these nations with a focus on the different parties and processes, and the lessons and warnings we can take away from what just happened across the pond.

  • Episode 138: #PresidentialSwap #KamalaAndACracker #ImmunityResponse
    Jul 3 2024

    Cathy and Troy break down the disastrous debate performance from Joe Biden last week, and discuss the growing calls for him to step into elder statesman mode and back another candidate. Biden has accomplished so much in four years. How will the next few weeks affect his legacy?

    Is it now time for Kamala Harris to step up and be the first woman of color President in history? What will take to make that happen, and can she beat back the onslaught of fascism?

    And the Supreme Court rolls out the red carpet to make Donald Trump a king by declaring that Presidents cannot be prosecuted for official acts. This means if Trump wins he will be above the law, with a fundamentalist religious cult Supreme Court that has positioned itself to remove the independence of the judiciary.

    And Cathy deep dives how we got here: tracing the history of Presidential immunity back to Nixon, when it was just a theory, to Clinton, where the justices declared that Presidents can be sued, to Trump as dictator in waiting.
