This week I link together the common thread of 3 very different police incidents that are all actively in the news. What the policing tactics all had in common and how they must change. The beer this week is Keweenaw Brewing, Pick Axe. Not quite for me but you should try. I finish with some classic rock trivia fun.

Drink up, listen up and Pod’ems UP!

This week I discuss the tragedy at Boulder Co and the tragedy of our gun control efforts. Disingenuous arguments throughout the political theater. It is time to politicize. Biden’s immigration policies are not that much different than trumps. Sidney Powell is now lying to untwist the lies she already told in the courts. I share my live music story and the guilt of going to see a show – or not. Beer this week was Odd Side Paddy’s Red. Right in my wheelhouse. Loved it! Drink up, listen up and Pod’ems UP!

This week I discuss the Republicans unwillingness to compromise on the Covid Relief Spending package. Even when it’s their ideas they won’t vote for it. Is Biden doing the right things at the border? Trump is at war with the RNC – Grab some popcorn! Republicans know they cannot win elections unless they reduce participation. Some scary times are unfolding in right-wing controlled state capitals. Do the MAGAts really care that much about the Royal family??? Seriously? Finally, what is the new normal, should we go back to the old normal? Beer this week was Short’s Brew Space Rock. Maybe not my fav but I wouldn’t let it go to waste either. Drink up, listen up and Pod’ems UP!

This week we dive uninvited into CPAC, virtually speaking. Will Trumpism out last Trump. Covid relief is coming, keep holding on America. Is Biden bombing? What about Bidens cabinet nominations – let’s get going and can we stop with the blatant hypocrisy already. Trumps tax woes are just heating up. I’m in Houston for the show so I picked up some local flavor. Buffalo Bayou Brewing 1836 Copper Ale. Little did I realize that Texas Independence Day is March 2, The day I recorded – how bout that pard’ner!

This week is impeachment recap and the predictable outcome of the non-conviction. We won’t call it an acquittal because he’s still impeached. Big Texas sized lies about why the lights went out in Houston. Beer this week is Beard’s Brimley Stout. Finish with personal connection to the mess happening in Texas as Peanut moves to help the Snow Monkeys there.

Drink up, listen up and Pod’ems UP!

Going it alone, Blotto recaps the impeachment trial day 1&2. How is this not beyond impeachment and just downright criminal! He also takes a closer look at what the Trumpsters are saying about the evidence or how they are ignoring it altogether. Beer this week was The Mitten Peanuts and Crackerjacks (w/o the prize). I also tell you about my first entre in legal sports betting in Michigan.

Drink up, listen up and Pod’ems UP!

Trump is officially out of the White House and President Biden has been sworn in. We talk about how we celebrated the inauguration. Politics is boring again. Trump is impeached for the 2nd time. Should the Senate convict this time? After a short break to discuss beer #2 we discuss the Pod’ems UP day at the range. Did Knobs manage to convert the rest of the cast? Find out!

We very quickly established a recurring theme involving the number “84” this week. Semicolon returns to help us discuss the events of the last few days. It starts with both Democrats winning the Georgia Senate runoff late Tuesday night. Midday Wednesday Trump gives a speech to his cult saying they are going to walk down to the capitol and show their strength. Shortly after that the horde storms the capitol building and forces their way in. How was something that has been talked about for so long been allowed to happen? Trump, many hours later, condemns the riot but still says “I love you”. Trump makes one final speech where he finally commits to a peaceful transfer of power. Then gets banned for just about every major social media platform including Twitter. What a wild ride. All within the first week of 2021.

A lot to cover this week as Trump starts to pardon everyone who helped him break the laws of the country. Should the president’s pardon power be restricted? The House and Senate both agree to a new COVID stimulus package however it only includes $600 per person and a lot of pork. Trump, of left field, wants $2000 per person. Is he finally trying to help the American people or just putting the Republicans between a rock and a hard place? Knobs talks about going to the range and shooting clay pigeons. Is that a part of the 2nd Amendment?

Today Trump gave his “most important speech ever”. Was it a concession speech or did he claim voter fraud. I’ll let you guess. The cult of Trump is being conned into donating money to his legal team despite almost every court ruling against the Trump campaign. New reports are coming out that the Trump administration is selling pardons.The gang gives a review of Ford v Ferrari and Lee Iacocca.
