This week, we're joined by legal advisor (and My Liberal Pals member) Tabitha Chapman for a discussion about what special counsel Robert Mueller's indictments may mean.

Then we discuss the alleged terrorist attack in New York, as well as Trump's somewhat predictable reaction to it.

Stephan, Chad, and David talk about Jeff Flake's oratorial moment and what it amounts to, and they opine on the future of the modern GOP in the era of Trump.

Then a discussion on tax reform, and a related prediction about Trump's political expiration date.

And finally, a discussion about Trump's ongoing feud with a gold star widow, and how chief of staff Kelly's attempt to paper it over only made it worse.

TOTB will be on vacation until October 20th. Talk at you then!

Stephan, Chad, and David deal with the breaking news that Senator John McCain may quite possibly have killed Graham-Cassidy, the latest (and please for the love of god final) attempt by the Republicans to repeal the ACA.

Then they talk about the dotard-in-Chief's appearance at the UN General Assembly, and how David really likes the word "bellicosity."

Oh, and they talk about Ken Burns' Vietnam documentary, and Stephan breaks out his Peter Coyote impression.

Stephan, David and Chad talk about the upsides and downsides of Trump's continuing dealmaking with Schumer and Pelosi, both for the Democrats and for the Republicans. And they discuss the MAGA meltdown.

In the second half, it's all about Hillary Clinton's book tour, and how the 2016 election looks from the vantage of 2017.
