The Dumpster Fire

Trump seems to be scared of Conan, the hero dog… And he probably should be, Conan is trained to sniff out and attack those who are out to destroy America… Cory describes that awkward attempt at being relatable. And when Mr. Grab ‘Em by the P rubs up against a college girl, it’s hard to accept it as just an innocent occurrence... Right?

Trump's reaction to the public impeachment inquiry hearing testimony is about what you'd expect... He's been exonerated! Cory explains how that is not true, by a long shot. And Trump is either lying or having a senior moment concerning an Apple announcement. Plus, Vice President Pence has been implicated and responds by accusing an ambassador of perjury and by stating he didn't do any of the things Trump did. Also, what's next in impeachment process and how the White House is working out their impeachment strategy with Republican Senators who will be acting as members of the impeachment mock trial "jury."

Stephen Castor is the Republican impeachment inquiry counsel and his questioning of Ambassador Taylor and DAS George Kent has us asking "Why!"...

Plus, Trump's inappropriate White House meeting with Turkey's Erdogan, and how it got weird. Trump Jr.'s book Triggered is number one with a dagger.

A theme coming out the impeachment inquiry is how Trump really didn't want to Russia to think we liked the Ukraine more than them... Cory goes through few examples. But first, a preview of what we can expect to hear from each of the three witnesses (Taylor, Kent, Yovanovitch) scheduled to testify in the first public impeachment hearings. There's also an upsetting update to the story of Harry Dunn's parents, he's the British teen killed by a US envoy's wife, And a "Lost in Trumplation" twofer.

The release of the impeachment inquiry deposition transcripts has brought the whole Greenland dumpster fire is back in the mix! Cory explains that disturbing revelation, as well as a tip for Republicans going into the open hearings; don't look dumb (no offense). And the best defense by Trump and Republicans about the inquiry is that the whistle blower and the whistle blower's lawyer doesn't like Trump. So, case dismissed, I guess... Yeah, that's not how it works. The king of bad analogies explains.

Trump didn't know who National Security Council Ukraine Expert Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman was because he thought the NSC Ukraine Expert was someone else, and no one corrected him... Cory explains that clear example of a dumpster fire. And Gordon "Gordo" Sondland was living his dream of being a European ambassador (a dream he paid for), but now he'll go down as one very incompetent diplomat... But that's better than going to jail for perjury.

A week late, but definitely worth going over... Trump's announcement that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in a raid by American special forces was more like a kid describing an action movie than the Commander in Chief explaining a dangerous, successful operation. Cory pulled some clips he thinks you'll enjoy cringing along to.

The ceasefire Turkey agreed to between them and the Kurds that Trump declared "permanent" is already not as permanent as one would expect from something that is permanent... Cory is joined by guest host Ted Asregadoo to discuss how Trump has continued to handle the situation in Syria. Plus, Trump's response to his Colorado border wall is to own it, and Kellyanne Conway was upset about a reporter's use of the idiom "in the middle of" and was not off the record.

The Trump administration's reaction to the testimony of diplomat William Taylor, envoy to Ukraine, is to smear and discredit him... Cory thinks that shows they know there will be an impeachment trial in the Senate. A new "Lost in Trumplation" about Cary Grant and Tom Arnold, plus a border wall being built in Colorado. First, Trump forced us to google "George Washington Two Desks."
