Minyard & Minyard Do The Resistance

If it's not plainly clear by now, we have handed the country over to a homicidal maniac hell-bent on taking out anyone and everyone he perceives as having slighted him. And that list is long and very distinguished. He has been mocked and laughed at his entire life, and always gotten by thanks to his daddy's money and influence. He is living his fantasy of being a mob boss who issues life and death orders that he expects to be followed without question. Hyperbole? Explain the removal of the Secret Service protection from people who he perceives have betrayed him...Pompeo, Bolton, Fauci...all of whom are facing death threats from domestic and foreign sources. Further, explain why...upon removing the protection...he felt the need to publicize it so openly and proudly. He is actually saying that he wants these people dead. Like a mob boss would. Never saying the exact words, but making it clear nonetheless. So what now? Unless the opposition finds their spine and begins to fight with tougher tactics, we may be well on our way to a dystopian nightmare. And it's only been two weeks...

It's only been 6 days, but already it's clear that we are headed for some very tough times in this country. In that short amount of time, we've seen deportation raids on workplaces, homes, schools, churches. Congress is confirming some of the most inexperienced and dangerous people to head our Defense and Intelligence agencies. All out attack on transgendered citizens. The release of violent terrorists back into our communities. The co-President delivering Nazi salutes to followers, then trying to gaslight us by suggesting that it was "a Roman salute". Next up: inflation inducing tariffs. So we all have to choose. Are we simply going to allow ourselves to be victimized? Are we going to become an organized resistance movement? Or will we be conspirators? Really funny how history repeats itself, which is why it's so baffling as to why most people in this country are so uninterested, and thus ignorant, of history and it's implications.

OK, so we have to find new ways of resisting what is about to happen to us as a nation. Overall, non-compliance whenever and wherever possible is how we're proceeding. But we have another way to proceed also. Simply don't use his name. We are from this day forward simply calling him "YouNoHoo". Everything this guy does is self-promoting, as putting his name on everything shows, so simply refuse to use his name. Easy enough. We discuss this, and lots more on the latest episode.

OK, so not as dramatic as it sounds, but we needed something sexy in the title of the episode. After taking time off to regain our sanity after the election...an effort that may not have been successful...we are back and have thoughts about our current situation as a nation. We see things somewhat differently on certain aspects, but agree that we're in for another stressful period while we watch the oligarchs take even broader control. We share some thoughts of a Professor at NYU who thinks that we are headed for a revolution in this country because of the unsustainable wealth disparity that promises to only get worse. We also look at the media's ineptitude and the sewer that is social media today.

As we collect ourselves in the new reality of just where we are now that the people have spoken, we realize that we need a break. In this episode, we share our thoughts on the election, and the need for some time to detox.  The podcast will return in 2025.  See you next year!

We will stay engaged on our Facebook groups and hope to see you there.

We share the highlights, or lowlights, of the final week of the election cycle. By now, we all know the stakes and what to do.  See you all on the other side...

The campaigns are bringing out their big guns in the last days of the campaign. Harris has billionaires Beyonce, Springsteen and Mark Cuban as well as Barack and Michelle Obama to bring it home. Meanwhile, Trump is handing out French Fries from a drive thru window, and standing up audiences in Michigan while he tries to reach young men by chatting with Joe Rogan. He has Tucker Carlson opening for him by delivering a very creepy monologue. And yet, they tell us that it's a toss-up election.

Hard to tell who had the worst week between Trump, Ted Cruz and Bret Baier.  Steve Schmidt summarizes pretty well just what Kamala Harris did to Baier, while Colin Allred treated Ted Cruz like a piñata.  But the award has to go to Trump, who got humiliated at an event in Chicago, and decimated at an Hispanic Town Hall in Miami and finished the week by failing to resist the urge to discuss Arnold Palmer's penis.  USA!  USA!

How much crazier and more dangerous can Trump and his MAGA acolytes rhetoric get? This past week shows that Trump is nervous...very nervous and willing to put lives in danger with his lies. Buckle in, because the next three weeks is going to be rough. We've already voted. Have you?  Also, M & M's first ever movie review!

As the polls continue to track for Harris/Walz, and the prospect of incarceration comes more closely into focus, Trump grows more and more desperate and delusional.  One month from now, we'll have a clearer picture of our fate as a nation.  Make your plans to vote.
