Weekly Skews

Tonight we’re talking about how a children’s author who thinks QAnon is real maybe shouldn’t be put in charge of the FBI. Plus, Joe sprung Hunter from the hoosegow and Hunter didn’t even have to tunnel out Shawshank-style.

Skewers, this week we discuss the grand, ambitious, totally-not-dumb-and-infeasible designs that Elon and Vivek have for the federal government through their shiny new Department of Government Efficiency. Spoiler: it’s not great. Join us.

Tonight, we talk about the latest news in Hell’s waiting room, mainly how Trump’s terrifying cabinet nominees are basically all examples of America’s elite accountability crisis. Plus, fun with punching influencers, and there’s apparently a committee to invade Mexico? Probably fine. Join us

Skewers for the past week the discussion on the American left has been centered around one question and one question only: what went wrong and whose fault is it? But fret not, because tonight, Smart Mark and Trae are going to definitively answer this question and solve this problem once and for all. OK…probably not, but they’ll talk about it. Join us.

Well Skewers a week out from the election and, as expected all along, all eyes are on the material of edgelord shock comic Tony Hinchcliffe, who made serious waves this weekend by letting the whole world know just exactly what kind of rally Trump was throwing at Madison Square Garden. Did you guys NotSee that?

Skewers, we’ve known for years now that Money in Politics is one of the biggest threats to our country, and it’s never been more evident than in this election. Tonight we talk about the hundreds of millions of dollars being funneled into Donald Trump’s effort to regain the White House, a massive chunk of which can be traced directly back to, who else, Elon Musk.

Evening, Skewers. Tonight we discuss the state of affairs in Florida, where citizens still reeling from the effects of two hurricanes are also forced to deal with a malicious governor hell bent on making their lives worse. So that’s fun. Also, some dumb stuff from Trump and MAGA wants to cancel the weather.

 Skewers it’s only been one week and already another generationally cataclysmic hurricane is bearing down on this country. Surely politicians on all sides have put away partisan disputes and come together to help our fellow Americans in this time of need right? Actually, no, Trump and MAGA have deemed this fertile ground for sowing lies and unrest. Imagine that.

Hurricane Helene cut a swath of cataclysmic destruction across the South last weekend, with much of the worst of it being in western North Carolina…which is profoundly upsetting considering it was a hurricane and that is the mountains. So what is being done, politically, to ensure this never happens again? Believe it or not, very little. But Trump’s getting some good photo ops out of it and that’s what really matters. Join us.

Skewers it has been one HECKUVA week for the American Right as a truly comical number of sex scandals have broken at basically the same time. Matt Gaetz doin’ Matt Gaetz stuff (i.e. bringing a teenager to a sex party), yet another vehemently homophobic activist turns out to have a super gay history, and of course the abject and filthy insanity of Mark Robinson. Join us.
