Tragedies happen.  They are painful.  They are unfair.  They are often unavoidable.  And that would be WHY they are tragedy.  In the aftermath of tragedy, we find the character of leaders.  This is to say, Mad King Donnie responds poorly to tragedy.  He responds poorly to adversity, to criticism, to essentially everything to which a leader must respond.  Now watch the over-reaction, it's the clue to what is truly happening.

The protestation, the tantrums, the accusations are all projection.  

Watch closely and be ready.

*CORRECTION...the Hegseth "Kill Em All" story was in the Washington Post, so I was wrong on both guesses!  

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I'm taking a moment to give all my wonderful listeners a special thanks.  Thank you for hanging in there with me.  Thank you for sharing.  Thank you for fighting the good fight.

Stay strong and fight on...we're on the good side.

The government shutdown is over.  The Epstein files are back on the front page.  And I'm back to rant it out and fire you up.

Get it on!

There was a big old off-cycle election yesterday in the USA...and according to the Mad King the results were due to his not being on the ballot and the shutdown is bad.  Apparently Mr. "I don't take responsibility for anything" is operating in full denial.  What else is new?

I had a blast with this one!  Seriously!  Great mood!

It's Halloween, and it's important to be safe, be aware, and try to have fun.  Sometimes it's hard to turn down the volume, but self-care in trying times is a must.  How do we do it?  Can we stay engaged while resting our anxiety?  Can Trent keep his train of thought on the tracks between two podcasts essentially recorded back-to-back?  

The answers might surprise you...

Following the amazing success of the NO KINGS protests over the weekend, the Mad King himself felt he needed to display in many ways why those protests were necessary...and absolutely on-point.  From AI generated images of Mad King Donny dumping excrement on his constituents to destroying the entire East Wing of the White House with zero discussion with the people or their representatives, we are witnessing the regime convinced they will never face any accountability.

I disagree.  Accountability comes for us all.

Fight on, fellow resisters.

Young me always wanted to be a hero.  Protecting the innocent, standing up to villainy, proud of my words and deeds.  Maybe I got a little jaded for a bit, but in my older/wiser years I am trying to revert to my younger desire and at least be a sometimes-mediocre sidekick of a quality hero.  

In this episode, the simple question is asked:  how do you know if you're the villain?

And I get into the importance of the No Kings movement and extremism in modern America.

In a positive(-ish) way.

A crazy week of news?  Yes, lots and lots of crazy news.  

Now...about how that news gets to us all...it ain't what it used to be.

Also:  Old man yells at clouds.

Everything from the abuses of ICE to my rent being wrongly charged to a government shutdown to a bible passage to conservation of natural habitats?!?

Jam packed like an overstuffed hot pocket, this episode will fill your desire for comfort food while burning your mouth...like every podcast should.

Do I go too far?  Sometimes, yes.  But that's really not for me to decide.

Just in time for sweeps week (is that still a thing?)!

When James Carville said "It's the economy, stupid", he helped usher in Bill Clinton (and neo-liberalism) and crushed the republican brand for a decade or more forcing them to change tactics.  In 2025, I propose we focus on corruption and abuses of power...of which there are literally hundreds of examples.  The regime is dripping with self-dealing and underhandedness, not to mention the public middle finger they constantly flaunt at our rule of law.  

From Kimmel and Comey to ICE raids and being anti-anti-fascist (there's an easier way to say that), to the obvious coverup of the content in Epstein files, the cracks are starting to show.

Let's give it a shove, shall we?
