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!

Ep 796:  The Great Republican Sell-Out

'No Fair Remembering Stuff' Remembers the 2016 and 2020 General Election "debates" and says No More.  And Driftglass's 19 year old blog post gets a reprise as a Harvard professor comes to the same conclusions.  More at proleftpod.com.

Ep 795 There Is No More 'Debating' Trump

Big props to Lawrence O'Donnell for going full "No Fair Remembering Stuff" on his Wednesday A-Block.  But then again his network cohorts interviewed Michael Avenatti and John Bolton this week, which just EXHAUSTS us.  

The O'Donnell Monologue.
