What a week!  We begin by connecting what we've been saying for fourteen years on The Professional Left Podcast to the latest disaster meltdown at NBC, which purportedly is about the McDaniel hiring/firing but is really about who gets to be a Republican and what that means for Both Siderism coverage at the networks.  

We also express disgust over the sheer size of the NBC C-Suite, and Trump's "Bible."  And Lev Parnas is settling all family business.  More at proleftpod.com.

We celebrate our 800th podcast episode.  Wow!  Thanks for supporting our podcast work.  

And for our 800th episode we have to start off with Kristi Noem's dog murder and Marjorie Taylor Greene's unconscious (and NOT Christian) anti-Semitism?  Where's the cake?  

Also thinking back to 1968, which 2024 is NOT.

Ep 800 Wait, 800 Episodes?!?

We look at a 1940's short story and the 1951 movie that was kinda sorta based on that story.  

And yes, "The Day The Earth Stood Still" has definitely stood the test of time.

Ep 797: No Fair Remembering Sarah Palin

Trump has a longstanding history of grifting down-ballot Republicans.  Instead of supporting his so-called party, Trump is forever leveraging his status for personal profit.

But the intrigue doesn't end there. We also unpack the un-surprising transformations of "Never Trump" Republicans like Chris Sununu and Bill Barr, who have suddenly found Trump an acceptable candidate for president. 

And we look back at the long-standing pushy partnership between evangelicals and Republicans, discovering that it has always been transactional, even preceding the era of George W. Bush.

And Marge fails at impeachment.  Sad!
