  • YOU tried to steal the election and failed. Deny reality all YOU want. The world is moving on.

    YOU tried to have legitimate votes thrown out.  YOU tried to change the rules at the last minute.   YOU f*cked with the postal service.  YOU lied about the security of mail in voting.  YOU claimed there has been massive fraud in the past when there hasn't been.


    None of your scams worked.  We humored you and investigated your claims of voting irregularities and found them ALL to be completely false. 


    Polling data has been predicting exactly what would happen for months.


    You know Biden won, but you find the idea of him being President so objectionable that you will do are willing to do  whatever it takes to undo the election.   It's time for you to to start being honest about your motivation for both undermining the election and supporting Trump.  We all know that's what this is, so stop hidinf

  • Time to results is the only Covid testing metric that matters and we are doing horribly.

    Out of all the lies Donald Trump has told since he started his first campaign his downplaying and flat-out lying about the seriousness of coronavirus is the lie that has done the most damage and cost the most lives. Even as hospitals in every major city in the country overflow with covid patients, he continues to say that we only see so many cases because we do the most testing.  It has become agonizingly clear that he must be removed before Inauguration Day if we are to have any chance of getting our lives back. Not next week.  Not tomorrow.  


    He is a mass murderer.


    The cuffs need to be slapped on his wrists right now.


    Leave me a voice message explaining why you still support Donald Trump.  70 million people voted for him and we need to understand why.

  • WE made the cartels rich. WE crack down on cartel victims running for their lives. This kind of hypocrisy is....depressing.

    We created the very problem that is tearing their country apart. The cartels absolutely run every aspect of life in Mexico and whenever an average Mexican citizen runs afoul of them, they run for our border hoping to be saved. We either turn them away, lock them up, and separate them from their children in hopes of deterring them from coming back. President Donald Trump has even suggested shooting them as they come across the border. If we even consider granting them asylum, we make them wait in Mexico for their court date, where most of them end up dead.  



    The hypocrisy of destroying their country with our illicit drug dollars and then refusing to help them with the fallout and the human cost created by the cartels, should make you sick to your stomach. If you have a functioning conscience, that is.

  • Trump Supporters - I'm giving you a platform to speak, if you're up to it

    Leave your reasons for supporting Trump here:

    Because it is a recording, you won't be interrupted.  All I ask is that you keep it factual if possible. You can be as rude or insulting or threatening as you want, I won't care. As long as I feel like you are giving me your real reason for continuing to support Donald Trump, rather than the socially acceptable reason that you give your friends, family, and co-workers,  I will include your answer in the next episode.

  • Trump and Hitler - identical in method.

    The rise of Adolf Hitler, beat for beat, is a mirror image of the rise of Donald Trump.   They both used lies to rise up during a time of economic and ideological frustration and unite their people around a single figure espousing a message of hate and division.  Just as Hitler portrayed the Jews as greedy devils, baby snatchers, and communists, Trump has portrayed Democrats in exactly the same way.  He has literally accused us of being favor of performing abortions "up to the point of birth and beyond - which is execution!"  Yes, he literally said those exact words, obviously with the intention of stoking fear and hatred.



    His followers are frustrated people who have been having trouble making ends meet for the last couple of decades and have been looking for someone, anyone, to blame it on. Trump has served us up as their enemy, sharpened their hatred for us liberals, and pointed it at us like a weapon.



    He has just fired the Secretary of Defense for not wanting to use the military against Americans on American soil.  In doing this, he has telegraphed the fact that he wants to use the military against Americans on American soil.  



    His intentions could not be clearer.  Hitler was allowed to roll over half of Europe before anyone tried to stop him.  Let's hope we react more quickly this time.

  • What is a country, really

    A country is an imaginary line inside which there are some rules and infrastructure to keep us safe and help our lives work. That is all it is. Not a religion. Not a culture. It is purely utilitarian in nature, yet it is being treated like the core of people's identities and ideologies.  Out of all the different things one might base their entire identity and ideology on, something as utilitarian a country just doesn't make any sense.

  • An olive branch for Trump Supporters



    The problem is that he never was an outsider. The biggest challenge we face as Americans is the cost of living, especially the cost of housing. The cost of housing is driven largely by real estate and property-management moguls like Donald Trump.  You can blame politicians and taxes all you want to, but nothing takes it big of a bite out of what we earn versus what we get back in terms of government infrastructure and benefits as the cost of housing, which has increased at a rate that has outpaced the cost of all other material goods as well as median income.


    Blaming Democrats and the poor is just a distraction from the fact that we are being robbed Blind by our landlords, real estate brokers, mortgage lenders, and employers, who across-the-board pay everyone the smallest amount they can get away with it all times until you get up to the executive level, at which point Executives get paid 463 times what an entry-level worker does on average in the US. To put that in to context, the next highest ratio in the world is Japan with 72 to 1.


    These things are never simple and one can be forgiven for not being aware of how these things all work in concert to keep us poor. But the one thing we should never do is allow the Bad actors to turn us against each other, which is what has happened over the past 4 years. It is long overdue that we stop this s***. We have a lot more in common with each other than either side does with the players in Washington and business who have been taking advantage of us for far too long.

  • Losing touch withreality puts us in real, physical danger. This must never happen again.

    During his first and only term as president, Donald Trump told the truth approximately 3% of the time. 40% of the country believed him. There is nothing happening in our world right now that is more dangerous.  We have watched in horror for the last four years while Trump and his supporters have embraced a reality that doesn't exist for the Express purpose of giving themselves permission to do whatever they wanted at all times. It is my hope that we are at the end of this era and can now reconnect with reality and never, ever let anything like this happen again.
