The Dumpster Fire

Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta's resignation was a missed opportunity for Trump to not defend someone who gave a sweetheart plea deal to a sex trafficking serial pedophile whose responsibilities include combating sex trafficking... Cory discusses how we pretty much just have an "acting" government. Also, the citizenship question will not be on the census because Trump didn't really want it on there anyway. The White House Social Media Summit was just a conservative whine session. And strippers at a president's golf course event may not be the best look right now.

Slight detour from our usual political content because host Cory had a bear experience while backpacking in the Sierra Nevada mountains and he's telling everyone... It wasn't really a near-death experience, but more of an almost a near-death experience... Whatever, it was a bear.

Trump talks about how the Continental Army, which he says was named after George Washington, took over the airports during the Revolutionary War during his Fourth of July state sponsored campaign rally... Cory breaks through that nonsense. And the leaked truthful assessment of the British Ambassador to the United States confirms what we already know, but it's still fun to read through, that this administration is a dumpster fire.

The way Trump acts toward North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is familiar; flustered and excited and confused and prideful and jealous... It sounds a lot like a teenage crush. Cory runs through how Trump slid from Kim's mentions to across the demilitarized zone, and wishfully into the murderous dictator's heart. It's a dumpster fire RomCom!

Trump giggled with Putin about meddling in our elections while the Democratic candidates called Trump the biggest national security threat... Cory goes through how Trump handled the first 2020 debates. Also, Trump administration's decision making is once again arbitrary and capricious, and Women's World Cup team. Oh, and even Dalai Lama thinks Trump is a dumpster fire.

Talk show host and author Thom Hartmann joins Cory to talk about Trump while going through how his administration has been handling the Iran situation. The also discuss how Trump is hijacking the Fourth of July celebration in Washington D.C. and turning it into another dumpster fire...

On this episode: Trump canceled an order to strike Iran for shooting down a drone, which means he ordered a strike against Iran for shooting down a drone... What the hell was all that "loose and stupid" mistake nonsense... And a quick reminder about how Trump is just lying to impress his base.

Trump says Iran shooting down our drone was "a very big mistake!" And apparently he meant that it was literally a mistake, just an oopsie from a "loose and stupid" member of Iran's Revolutionary Guard... Our military says different. Trump also has scientific proof, not just words, where it was shot down. Iran says different. The only thing we have proof of is it's just another dumpster fire.

Apparently, Trump is a national security liability, and ABC News did something kind of nasty to Trump when they aired what Trump clearly thought was just a "pick up" during his interview with George Stephanopoulos...

Was what Trump said to ABC's George Stephanopoulos about colluding with foreign powers in the 2020 election his "code red" moment? Is Norway meddling in our elections? Was A Few Good Men missing a classic Kevin Pollack reaction? Cory says yes to two of these. But he's still got his eye on you, Norway. And why wouldn't he, when anything's possible in this dumpster fire...
