This week, we are taking a break from She Harvey Oswald as we prepare to launch the second half of that series-within-a-series focused on its namesake–Spooky Sara Jane Moore–very soon. Meanwhile, we are coming in hot with a fun, cathartic rib-session on Trump’s cabinet of horrors. 

As “professionals” practicing law, we often find ourselves conversing with liberal-minded folks who are plenty cynical and horrified by the corruption and idiocy of the second Trump administration, but who nevertheless go about their business “respecting institutions” and, by extension, the people on whom those institutions confer authority. People may consider Trump and his fawning pack of yes-men and women pathetic, disgusting, dishonest, incompetent, and so on, but nevertheless go along with the cabinet’s policy prescriptions because they are taken pursuant to the authority entrusted to them by the system of government.

We say enough.

In this episode, we model the disrespect we believe forms the bare-minimum prerequisite to the type of questioning of authority that is essential to breaking masses of people out of the hypnotic spell of the spectacle. Not in the Gavin Newsom / Jacob Frey / Chris Murphy “F*ck Trump” cheesy way, but in a serious way grounded in the immortal science of historical dialectical materialism. In a way that recognizes the criminality of these ghouls in the context of a bipartisan ghoulish consensus that has persisted with great help from the Democratic side of the aisle. 

We’d have loved to burn through the whole cabinet, but in this episode we ran out of time after roasting “Lil’ Narco” Marco, Pete “Hogsex” Hegseth, Brainworms Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard (listen through to hear her new Fourth Reich Archaeology coined nickname), and Krazy-eyes Kash Patel. It is hard to think seriously about such a cavalcade of clowns, so we hope this episode will serve as something of an exorcism to the demonic pull of passive spectatorship and inspire contagious disrespect for these utter freaks and psychos. And we hope you’ll have as much fun listening as we had making it.
