55. Courting disaster


Listen Later

RIP RBG. The untimely passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is, for the stability of our political system, just that: untimely. Strap yourself in for the most starkly naked displays of lying, hypocrisy and exercise of raw political power you’ve ever seen. Or as it’s known it Washington these days: Monday. Fresh off acting like a normal human being in reaction to RBG’s death, President Trump says he can’t guarantee he’ll accept a peaceful transition of power. Yes, Trump is unconventional, but his unconventional handling of softball questions to make them nightmares is truly a terrible superpower. The audience for Fox News is overwhelming Republican, while the audiences of MSNBC and The New York Times are overwhelmingly Democratic. In other news, water is wet, the sky is blue and Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead. The NHL puts out an ad that highlights how physical toughness is a part of the sport. Some people get mad, because we can’t have nice things anymore and they were shocked to learn that there’s gambling going on here. And finally, Taco Bell has launched their own wine, a Jalapeño Noir to pair with their Toasted Cheesy Chalupa. They do know most people get drunk before eating Taco Bell, not during it, right?
