No one will be happy with this episode of the podcast, because as I watch the rush to judgment on both sides around Kyle Rittenhouse and what he did in Kenosha, it reinforces the divide that exists in our country.
On the final night of the RNC, with the White House festooned for a campaign rally, a crowd of thousands waiting to hear from Trump, the fireworks display, and the violence that followed, all I felt was sadness.
Democrats cannot afford to ignore the violence in places like Kenosha and across the country. Democrats also cannot underestimate the power of Donald Trump's "law and order" appeal. It's time for Joe Biden to be pro-active.
On the first night of the RNC, elected Republican officials stood up in front of their party and the country and said things about Donald Trump that just aren't true. And the worst part about it is that they knew what they were saying wasn't true, but they said it anyway.
It was unlike any other political convention that we've every experienced, but this year's DNC gave us a lot to talk about as Election Day grows closer. Joe offers his thoughts and reflections.
With Election Day less than 90 days way, Donald Trump has boiled his entire campaign down to a single strategy — scare the fuck out of white people. In his mind, the future of his presidency hangs on that.
We all may tell ourselves that it's not true, but deep down, for most of us, we all really want to be ruled by a king or a queen, as long as that monarch gives us what we want. It's a sad reality, but Donald Trump has proven it to be true.
Donald Trump campaigned on the promise that when he was elected that he would drain the swamp. Turns out that he's just as corrupt as everyone in the swamp, and he never had any intention of draining anything.
A lot of people are feeling very confident right now about Joe Biden defeating Donald Trump in November. But never forget that this is a big country, filled with a lot of people who deeply support Trump. Now is not the time to be cocky.

About F*ck Silence with Joe Walsh
From the publisher's feed
In August of 2019, Joe Walsh did something he never expected he would do — he decided to run for president … against Donald Trump. Joe made that decision because he knew that President Trump had to be…
defeated, and no other Republican was willing to stand up and accept the challenge. Joe’s presidential campaign came to an end after the Iowa caucuses. He saw firsthand that Republican voters don’t want honesty or decency in the White House. They just want Donald Trump. It’s now clear: the Republican Party is a cult. The only option now is to make sure that Donald Trump is not re-elected in November. It’s incumbent on us as a country — and as citizens — to reject the current direction of the Republican Party and work to elect Democrats who are closest to our values.
