Ep 796: The Great Republican Sell-Out
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 795 There Is No More 'Debating' Trump
'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 794 MSNBC Wins and Loses
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.

Ep 793: Trump's Abortion Fail
It's like Trump became JEB! Bush this week: a pleading Republican politician instead of the manifestation of the Republican Base's ID. We discuss.

Customer Reviews
#795
the only way a debate with can happen with trump is without a live audience. THAT is exactly why trump wouldn’t do a remote debate. trump needs that immediate live feedback from the audience so if there is a debate it should be setup like the 1960’s kennedy/nixon debate. no live audience! blahh, hate trump.
Get the scoop for real, from real people
A listener for years. These folks cheer me up. In a sea of FOX News-poisoned people & news, these folks cheer me up. They call a spade a spade, intelligently & with style.
TikTok
I have enjoyed listening to this podcast for a while now, but it was pretty annoying what you had to say about TikTok in the first 30 seconds of today’s episode. I always find it stupid when people discuss things they do not understand with such conviction. Just so you know, a lot of your listeners, including myself, learned about your podcast from TikTok. I still enjoy your podcast, but please do better. It’s not the “data getting into the wrong hands” that Our government is worried about, it’s that so many people have access to first hand information and they can’t control it. It’s very suppressive, and everyone should care even if they’re not on TikTok.
