Just Buy Less Coffee, Answering the Deeper Questions of American Politics

Episode 148: #CoupPart2 #HurricaneOfLies #Asheville


Listen Later

Cathy and Troy break down the fire hose of lies on the internet surrounding the federal government's response to hurricane Helene. MAGA has successfully weaponized messaging around disaster relief to play on anger and frustration for votes, and yes scapegoat migrants yet again.

No FEMA is not taking people's property. No survivors are not only receiving $750 dollars while we give billions to Ukraine or to house migrants. No people are not being denied resources. No FEMA is not out of money. No Biden did not take money out of FEMA's disaster relief budget to help migrants.

Trump is the only President to divert funds away from disaster relief to the border. He's also the only President to deny federal aid to a state, when he said no to California in 2018 during wildfire season.

Two former Trump aides told Politico that decision was in fact political. He only changed his mind when he was told there were more Trump voters in Orange County, CA than the entire state of Iowa.

And, Cathy read and annotated all 165 pages of the released January 6th Trump indictment that Judge Tanya Chutkan made public at Jack Smith's request. And it's horrifying.

Cathy and Troy give their historian perspective on just how much of a threat Donald Trump is to the Republic, how it compares to the scandals of Nixon, Reagan, and George W. Bush, and why, one month out from the election, Americans need to know the forces that want to rip away their democracy are actively at work setting up for round two.

All for less than the price of a cup of coffee...
