Ken Paxton made a Texas-sized ass of himself in search of a pardon. The Supreme Court passed. Is there a Plan B? Also, Rudy & Tulsi torch their legacies, Trump floats a new branding opportunity, and Joe & Kamala win without doing a damn thing...again! Toss in some solidarity with our Indian comrades and you got yourself an episode of the Blues.

While Trump plays golf, the never ending saga of Election 2020 continues, and this week there's a new breakout star...and she's drunk AF!

Obama brought down the scorn of the Twitterverse this week by suggesting that "Defunding" the police makes for bad marketing. Is he wrong? Does it matter?

WTF is Neera Tanden doing anywhere near the Biden administration? Does cannabis legalization have any momentum? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Just some of the chubbier issues in this week's installment of the U.S. Blues. 

Give thanks! After a post-election hiatus, U.S. Blues is back...with a twist. We've left Bob-o alone at the controls and he's had a few drinks. So let's see if he crashes and burns as a solo artist or if he can bring the good ol' S.S. WTF?! in for a landing. 

Let's talk about the ultimate superspreader event to come this week, the not-at-all embarrassing squad of legal rejects doing the president's bidding, and why this whole thing may not be over yet. 

Also, schools in session, bitches...Dr. Bob-o busts out some of the sordid history of our stupid, stupid electoral system. 

Thanks for listening!  

We got some Big Rick Energy going as we welcome our first ever guest to the pod.

In case you didn't notice, there was an election type thing in America this week. And as of this recording, we still have yet to learn the official winner. But we've got a pretty good idea of where we're heading and we're pretty sure the Democrats will learn the wrong lessons along the way. 

Last show before the election and we're back with a supersized episode to celebrate that one way or another this darkness has got to give. Lots to talk about including the "end of the pandemic," the leftist case for Joe Biden, as well as the drama-free confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett and what it says about American democracy and institutions. 

We also take a peek into the crystal ball and try to figure out where this could all go bad and what happens next. Plus, a few endorsements. 

In the meantime, vote as if your life depended on it, because with COVID cases hitting record numbers, it just might...

This week, on a very special episode of U.S. Blues, we talk about one of the most pressing issues in Covid-America. That's right, we're talking Zoom call etiquette. But mostly just Jeffrey Toobin's massive breach thereof. 

In between, we bemoan the lack of class in American politics and end of the kayfabe of American democracy. Also, Matt Gaetz got done dirtier than an eager side piece this week and we're totally here for it. And get ready for some hardcore theorizing about Space Jesus.

But mostly just a lot of masturbation jokes. Enjoy!

Time to revisit an issue from Episode 2. That's right, we're talking free speech again...this time as it pertains to the Twitterverse reaction to comedian Bill Burr's SNL monologue. Is it okay to upset marginalized groups as long as it's funny? What if it's in the service of defending another marginalized group? Intersectionality! 

Plus, we comment on that snoozer of a VP debate and dive into some swing state polls. That includes you, Georgia and Texas. All in a week's work here at U.S. Blues. 

Everyone's favorite big dumb boy came down with a case of some kind of Democratic hoax this week. Maybe. Who knows anymore? Join us as we engage in a little schadenfreude at Trump's expense, a little good old fashioned conspiracy mongering, and game out some possible 'rona related scenarios in the opener of season 10 of America 2020. 

Also, we lost a legend this week. Get your beers in the air and show some goddamned respect for one Edward Lodewijk Van Halen as he jumps into the next life. 

If you haven't thought much about Oregon since playing a certain computer game back in grade school, buckle in 'cause we're going to take a deep dive into the Beaver State, its recent turn in the national media spotlight, and the horrific fires that have devastated entire communities. 

We also talk RBG, ACB, and that absolute dumpster fire of a first debate between Trump and Biden.
