Left & Leftist

It's a Left & Leftist Summerslam! 'Tis the season to offer up hot takes, and it doesn't get any hotter than these*. The Leftist does some book depository cosplay, taking dead aim at an office-holding Kennedy. Speaking of dead, Ronnie 40 visits to endorse Biden for President from beyond the veil. Then, After a brief farewell to a real one in the 45th White House, we dive into a few infuriating stories: the Kenosha, WI PD back-shoots a black man (over and over and over and...), and in the resultant demonstrations an aspiring out-of-state agitator canoes a couple protestors. Was he paid by George Soros? The answer will not surprise you. Also unsurprising: racist-crowd-funding a wall on the southern border is not a legitimate undertaking. No shock value is added in discovering that the Trump Labor Relations Board is anti-labor. One can expect the people of Provo, UT will act with stupidity. And guess what? Several of our nation's wealthiest actually profit from a pandemic. 

*not a guarantee, if you find hotter takes elsewhere then good job you know how to use a web browser

Lineup change! Rather than be short-staffed this week, the essential podcasters at Left & Leftist serve up another helping of TikTok phenom Ghost in place of Sheldon, who pretends to fulfill his duties as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. The screed is literally phoned in, and it's as good as that description promises. Colter, Caleb and Ghost discuss another development in the right's crusade to end mail delivery. Not even Senate Republicans can deny that Roger Stone and the oval orangutan are a couple of dicks, a little too hard-up for the Russians. Deep dive into QAnon, we all wish we needn't waste the time, but as too many in congress care about it we ought to be ready to ridicule. In even worse news: racist judge pretends to be Solomon, Facebook is for blatantly brainless boomers, and this administration is full of entitled wealthy layabouts.

We're dropping bombs (rhetorical rather than atomic) on this week's episode of Left & Leftist! Sheldon's got issues with a dead guy, mainly because of his making so many dead guys. After an elections update we take a look at Republican National Committee fundraiser and Postmaster General Louis Dejoy and his valiant efforts to reform the untrustworthy organization known as the United States Postal Service. The Church of Satan has an inventive way to usurp restrictive abortion laws, though it's come too late, because Stephen Miller is alive and using his platform to conflate anti-fascism with fascism. Another Floridian appears in Zimmerman's Playhouse and the Texas State Bar is packed with Dumb Americans. Finally, it seems that COVID19 has killed a few too many Americans, more than several other noteworthy death-dealers.

We're still burning up at Left and Leftist! This week the leftist is triggered by a humble man from the humble state of Arkansas and won't give him a pass. We examine the growing number of Rona-infected from among the my-face-my-choice crowd, as well as the ever-present suggestion that we all be treated for Malaria rather than COVID19. Tech giants show up for a dud of a hearing, so we look at those gripping highlights. Then there's a rare sign of good governance; too fucking bad it isn't something which took place inside our borders. A real George shows up for Zimmerman's Playhouse, and (surprise!) there are still people dumb enough to believe that conversing with one's invisible friends can halt death.

It's Episode 7 of Left and Leftist, where you'll always hear the angriest sounds about politics and culture! Sheldon paints a target on the Democrats' new favorite Republican and we say farewell to a pair of the fallen. Then it's on to the week's top stories: Florida remains home to maniacs, though some of them are being exported to Portland in order to combat violent ?graffiti? After an obligatory 'rona safe-sex update we introduce a pair of new segments: the Epstein Suicide Watch and Dumb Americans (an overview of the latest in anti-intellectual trends and fashion).

Another hot week recapped by another hot episode of Left and Leftist! The jingoistic judiciary is the leftist's whipping boy. Kanye didn't solicit our help, so he's done. Actual news items this week include an odd use of the Russia-Taliban bounty story (or is it just the use for which it was intended?), a pair of failed primary election candidates about whom we spend too much time cracking jokes, and some in the GOP wish it were still February.

Don't we all have at least one good reason to wish it were still February? Leave your reason in the comments section where they will be summarily ridiculed and deleted!

It's Episode 5 of Left & Leftist, and we gointa Run this Town tonight! Sheldon shocks with his Heartless view of the White House, Caleb ain't no Gold Digger (but American Christianity is), and Colter is Stronger than some right-wing Slow Jams ok that's enough with the KW references. Who found their way into Zimmerman's Playhouse this week? The answer may surprise you, or Will and Grace it? The Robed Robber Barons of the highest court ended another session with a flurry of decisions, so we waste most of our breath on that, but we saved some for a brief shouting match!

Left and Leftist has hit the big time! We are joined by guest the.ghost.88, whose TikTok flames the right wing and racks up the views. Senatorial screed is followed by the news, wherein we explore the lowly depths and deaths of the GOP response to the continued pandemic and are reminded by the President what "Florida's friendliest hometown" is all about.

Here are some links to our news items, but first and foremost join better than 200k others in following comrade The Ghost on his TikTok feed!

This week it's getting hot at Left & Leftist! Sheldon doesn't like fireworks, Fauci v. Graham, COVID safe sex practices explained by an esteemed statesman, the rich keep making that green, and we bid a fond adieu to one of Congress' least heroic figures.
