In just over a month, the most important national election in our nation's history will take place. Our choice is between an insane, authoritarian wannabe who is literally losing his mind more by the day, and a truly historic and competent candidate. For some reason, polls tell us that the race is close. We'll have to deal with that later, but one thing is clear, it's not too early to make your voting plans. Don't wait for the last minute where natural disasters or other factors might impede your ability to cast your vote. End this nightmare. But first, listen to some of the insanity from this past week.

There was so much idiocy on display this past week, that we decided to devote the entire show to the sounds of that idiocy. As usual, virtually all of it leads back to Trump.

Ken has cheated the Grim Reaper once again and is back in the saddle. So...what'd we miss the past 5 weeks?

Will Rogers famous quote "I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat" may finally have become obsolete. In a short 3 weeks, the Democrats, and more specifically the Harris campaign, has made all the right moves and have come from behind like a sprinter running down her opponents in the last 100 meters of a long race. As their convention approaches, how much better can it get for them, and concurrently, how much worse for Trump? Things are good.

After the NABJ convention debacle, a veteran GOP political pundit said “He did crap the bed. … The only question is whether he’s going to roll around in it or get up and change the sheets.” Well, he couldn't help himself during a Klan...er...MAGA rally in Atlanta, he did it again. This time, he continually attacked the popular Governor Brian Kemp in his home state, prompting one unnamed Republican advisor to say "he just lost Georgia". There is little debate that the man simply isn't well, as we discuss.

One week ago, in an instant, everything changed. It's now game on, and Trump is struggling to figure out how to deal with what is happening.

As the nation sorts through all of the conspiracy theories from the assassination attempt on Trump, and survives the absolute clown show that was the GOP convention, we again ask the question of when (not if) Joe Biden will step aside for a younger Democrat who will defeat Trump and hopefully put an end to the MAGA nightmare. Meanwhile, Ken makes the case that President Biden will someday merit inclusion onto Mount Rushmore...IF he steps aside now and allows someone else to finish the job.

President Biden is so far ignoring the borderline panic and political crisis that is building among Democrats and freedom-loving people across the globe. He stubbornly resists the calls for him to step down from the campaign and pass the baton to a younger generation. He says that he'll only step aside if the "good Lord Himself" tells him to. Our question is: "How do we know that this isn't the good Lord doing just that"? We have the speech already written that Biden should give next week.

Three things happened at the disaster of what was called a "debate" last Thursday.
- Biden was terrible.
- Trump unleashed an avalanche of bullshit "the likes of which we've never seen".
- CNN crashed and burned while Jake Tapper and Dana Bash ended their careers for all intents and purposes.
What now? We discuss.

No way around it. Last night was a fiasco. A disgusting and incompetent and lie-filled performance by Trump should have been destroyed by his debate opponent and the moderators. Instead, we are now faced with the fact that Biden is not up to the task and must be replaced immediately. CNN has also failed again in not addressing the avalanche of bullshit that Trump unleashed. Strap in. It's gonna be a wild ride.

Gotta love Louisiana. Thanks to their Governor signing into law there a mandate for all schools, public and private, to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms, Trump has had to deal with the issue. And Trump being Trump, went all in on the idea in front of the Faith and Freedom Conference. Now, let's take a look at those Ten Commandments and just how Trump measures up. Meanwhile, it's Debate Week! What could possibly go wrong?

The past week featured a convicted felon with dozens of still pending charges sweep into town, where they threw a mob-style welcome home party for him. This leads to lots of questions. Associating with known criminals is disqualifying for just about any job in the country, so why do we accept that these weak examples of leaders are worthy of our most precious tool...our vote? We discuss.

While we endure the period between verdict and sentence, and the GOP is out twisting itself into knots in defense of the convicted felon, Trump has some time on his hands to get back in front of microphones at rally's and interviews. And being Trump, he's making a fool of himself. We brought the receipts.

Between now and July 11th, Judge Juan Merchan will be deciding what to do with convicted felon Donald Trump. We will hear daily predictions of "no incarceration", "home confinement", "probation", "community service" and "prison time". One thing is certain, Merchan's decision will cause half of our political populace to lose their shit. MAGA is already floating around in the dark spaces of the internet that they are locked and loaded and waiting for Trump to give the signal. Strap in over the next month and a half and prepare for all of the noise to follow. Maybe we'll be surprised and the fever will break. Yeah, sure it will...

Ken and Rick have decidedly differing views on how AG Merrick Garland has handled the Trump investigation. We debate.

Last week, we explored the great American Tradition of Pitch Men, and made the argument that Trump is the greatest of all time. His grift has gotten him to the highest office in the land and convinced 70 million of our fellow voters to be convinced that he's the one to save us. Well, in this episode, we feature one more that certainly should have been included last week. Alex Jones.

Dating back 200 years or more, with the 'Snake Oil Salesmen', and others hawking their wares door-to-door or at County Fairs or boardwalks, America enjoys a long tradition of pitch men. We explore some of the best in the past 40 years or so, and ask where the line is between pitch men and grifter. There is no doubt that there is one who stands out as the best in history.

In a wild several days including Trump obtaining both another delay in one case, and a three week warning before a Jury is set to be seated in another...we share some of the Elon Musk interview with Don Lemon that ultimately got Lemon fired on his first day on the job at the app formerly known as Twitter. Was it the questions about Musk's tolerance of Nazi's and white nationalists? Or perhaps it was the challenges to Musk's assertions that the old Twitter was a bastion for leftists. Or maybe the pressure that Lemon offered on Musk's use of Ketamine. We discuss.

There is no disputing that America is at a place that we've not been since the 1860's. We really are two separate nations. Our differences appear to be irreconcilable. Therefore, instead of taking up arms and killing our fellow citizens over politics and whether we should convert from a Democratic Republic to an Authoritarian form of government, why not negotiate a civil separation and create the Red States of America and the Blue States of America? Each state can hold referendums on which side they'd like to align themselves with. We can negotiate all of the various aspects of future cooperation and revenue agreements among the two new countries, elect respective head's of state, representatives and such. Each state could enact it's own border policies, taxation policies and welfare policies. Interstate travel would be negotiated, civil liberties would have to be agreed to in advance, but Blue States would be responsible for their affairs, and likewise for the Red States. A joint defense pact would be negotiated as well. This way, we can avoid the obvious bloodshed that would arise if we do it the old fashioned way. We discuss this and much more.

Big week. MAGA finally ran out the clock on Nikki Haley with the Super Tuesday results. President Biden blew away the low expectations set by both left and right by delivering a forceful State of the Union address, Eric Swalwell schools MAGA members of congress on the border bill, and Marjorie Taylor Greene told a foreign journalist to fuck off when asked about Jewish space lasers. Just another week.

The election of 2024, and quite probably the future of American democracy comes down to a battle between two grandpas. One, a kindly and beloved man with a loving family and a history of kindness and caring, and the other a career con man who has cheated and lied his way through life, and is threatening to end our system of government. We discuss.

This week, psychologist Dr John Gartner, formerly of Johns Hopkins University Medical School, sounded the alarm...on Donald Trump. Trump's slurring and inability to sometimes formulate complete sentences appears to be a sign of growing dementia and possible early stages of Alzheimer's. He asserts that Trump is becoming more dangerous by the day. "This is a tale of two brains. Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing," he says. "He just becomes incomprehensible when he engages in free association word salad speech that is all over the place. Again, that's a sign of real brain damage, not being old, not being slow, not losing a step not being, but of severe cognitive deterioration." "What I don’t understand is why those clips aren’t replayed over and over in the mainstream media. Isn’t Trump babbling incoherently the most newsworthy part of his rally? You can be sure it would be if it were Biden."
Don't believe him? We provide ample evidence via those clips in this episode from just one of Donald Trump's speeches this past week. You decide.
Aside from another mass shooting at a Super Bowl celebration, a massive, multi-hundreds of millions of dollars judgement against Trump and his spawn, the assassination of the leading opposition figure in Russia by Putin a month before the elections there...did anything of interest happen this week?

That's it! Trump has developed a highly-advanced, very sophisticated way of communicating with his cult...MAGAese! It's probably the greatest, most highly advanced form of communication ever. One that only the true MAGA devotee can fully grasp. For the rest of us, it sounds clownish, ignorant and, well...just plain stupid. But to his cult, it's a code. We give examples! After all, he's taken numerous cognitive tests, and can actually identify a whale from a giraffe!

As we see time and again MAGA elected officials and supporters make complete fools of themselves by proudly owning their hypocrisy when it comes to their dear leader, Trae Crowder aka Liberal Redneck, has boiled it down for us. "Trump is awesome, and Biden sucks." It's that simple. The mind of MAGA is no more complicated than that. Today's example is from the Committee hearings this week pertaining to Hunter Biden. Never mind that he was being held in contempt for ignoring a congressional subpoena...wait for it...while in the hearing personally in response to the subpoena. Nancy Grace was outraged that he attended, asking "WHO INVITED YOU?" You cannot make this stuff up. Meanwhile, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas laments the fact that they simply cannot shoot migrants there because Biden would charge them with murder.

Joe Biden launched his campaign with what many have been hoping...begging for - a case against Donald Trump that will motivate his voters. It is being compared by some to FDR and JFK.

In a week that will be hard to surpass in terms of sheer absurdity, we must stop and really pay attention to what is happening as we enter an election year. We have the MAGA world telling us exactly what they plan to do if they again take control of our government. They aren't hiding their intentions, in fact they are highlighting them. And we'd better pay attention. Scary thing is that apparently, a sizable portion of our population is perfectly fine giving into a Fascist Authoritarian government. We have the details.

Now we've done it. Ken is PISSED off! After seeing and digesting what Hamas did in Israel on October 7th, a large portion of the country - and world - reacts with...antisemitism? WTF? And why exactly does a large portion of the world hate Jews exactly? Also, we take a moment to consider the difficulty that this conflict poses for MAGA. After all, it has to be real difficult to hate Muslims and be Fascistic anti-Semites at the same time. Even Dear Leader Donald Trump struggles with this, one minute calling Hezbollah "very smart", and the next claiming to have "done more for Israel than anyone in history". And we present a "Week in Trump" that you'll not believe.

Polls confirm that a strong majority of Americans want to have the winner of the popular vote named as President. Is this not the very definition of democracy?

Ignoring the mistakes made in 2016, the American media is again approaching the 2024 election as if it's just another election cycle with the Democratic President facing a Republican challenger. They take horse race polls, report on the results, act as if these are normal times and continue to give Trump a platform to repeat and spread his lies. Legitimate journalists are no match for someone who steamrolls them in interviews and only offer up meek resistance using words like "disproven" or "debunked". When will someone sit forward when interviewing him and challenge him by calling him a "goddamned liar", or threatening to stop the interview and toss him from the studio if he continues to show such contempt to their audience by lying? And what do we hope to possibly gain from presidential debates when they are packed with a studio audience full of supporters and no fact checkers willing to call them out on their lies?
Oh, and if you roll your eyes with comparisons between Trump and Hitler, see if today's discussion and examples doesn't at least give you pause.

If the last couple of weeks hasn't convinced you that the majority of problems that we face in this country is due to Republicans...elected officials, voters, conservative media...then you, too are part of the problem. How many more massacres need to happen before we depart from the Republican approach to guns? How many more assaults on the freedoms that women have had for generations to make their own decisions on their reproductive rights? And the blatant racist happenings by the Republican majority in the Tennessee Assembly was a throwback to pre-Civil Rights times. Also, we may have the answer to the Prime Time hole at MSNBC that was created when Rachel Maddow decided to go part time.

With the current political climate in this country culminating in the disaster that occurred in Tennessee this week, maybe the time has come to let the states pick sides and the U.S. can become essentially Europe. Red and Blue states can align with themselves, form economic alliances, borders and engage in treaties with the Red states for commerce. The more wealthy and educated blue states can stop funding the poorer and less educated red states. Each entity can create their own educational systems, social welfare systems, Constitutions. Perhaps a joint defense agreement could be negotiated. Seems sort of like a win-win. We touch on this and a whole lot more in this edition.

Thanks to the excellent investigation and presentation by the January 6th Committee, it is undeniable what happened. One of the more glaring realities that has emerged is that Donald Trump put out an order to his followers, in mafia-style, to kill Mike Pence. Further, he issued directives from his command post to his fascist troops that day during their assault on the Capitol. After the coup failed, the next day, Trump could not bring himself to say that the election was over. The outtakes of his January 7th speech, if not further evidence of his intentions, are hilarious.

The Mississippi Governor defends the law there that prohibits pregnancies that result from incest and won't rule out a ban on contraception next. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn is proposing a ban on contraception except for married couples. And a candidate in Arizona goes one step beyond and is promoting a ban on all contraception as his Catholic faith demands. Why would they stop there? Does anyone really think that certain states in this country wouldn't again ban gay or interracial marriage given the chance? We are heading in a very dangerous direction in this country. We also discuss the scalding that Steve Schmidt gave to Meghan McCain this weekend.

So the Supreme Court has fired a cannon shot across the bow of the nation with it's plans to do away with Roe v. Wade this Summer. Red states are already lining up to outlaw legal abortions with the promise in some of arrest and prosecution of doctors and even women who would get the procedure. But have they also lit the fuse for the Democrats to motivate their voters to do what they did in the 2018 midterms and again in 2020 with the huge turnout? We discuss the fact that this nation is being run currently by minority opinion and what it takes to turn that around. If not now, then it may be too late.

As the Elon Musk acquisition of Twitter continues to reverberate through the world, we turn to our Hillbilly Liberal to share his thoughts on the subject. One has to wonder why Musk might insert himself into such a potentially controversial place, when clearly, he doesn't really need to. We ponder the question: "Is Musk simply bored?" Also, Congressional candidate in Oklahoma and current GOP state Chairman John Bennett suggests that Dr Anthony Fauci be placed in front of a firing squad...and gets cheers.

It is no longer debatable. The GOP is the party of stupid. Not only is being stupid not a disqualifier for Republicans, but it is worn as a badge of honor by their leaders, who know that there is literally nothing that they can do, no lie too brazen, no claim too unbelievable to insult their followers. What do the Democrats need to do in order to communicate more effectively just how dangerous the GOP is to our country at this crucial time? We can take the lead of two elected Democrats...both women. Elizabeth Warren and a little known (for now) state representative from Michigan, Mallory McMorrow, who became mad as Hell and isn't taking it any longer.

Elected Republicans are generally assholes. This isn't a controversial statement. But rarely do we have such a constant stream of examples happening over a single weekend.

In a sure sign that the pressure of all of his investigations are pressing down hard on him, Trump - every time he opens his mouth or releases a statement - either admits to a crime that he has committed, or commits a new crime. Now, he's calling for an investigation of Mike Pence for NOT overturning the election, promising pardons for the insurrectionists being prosecuted, and threatening the prosecutors in New York and Atlanta, as well as the 1/6 committee members, and is calling Lindsey Graham a RINO for suggesting that it was "inappropriate" to dangle the pardons. This of course will trigger the death threats to Graham and force him to crawl back for a round of golf and ring-kissing at Mar-a-lago.

Ken and Rick work to stay on top of the incredible amount of news facing us including the pandemic and protesters shutting down perhaps the biggest vaccination site in the United States, the happenings on Wall Street this week, the good and the bad with Facebook, and the fact that the Republican Party is quite clearly the party of the insane.
