2/14/24 - Delete Your Account

Somehow, it was this past week…in February in the year of our lord 2024, that the media finally thought to wonder…hey maybe Joe Biden IS ACTUALLY SENILE. We’ll cover all the Hur report and the ensuing fallout, plus discuss the latest election news, the latest legal news, and the latest absolutely bonkers news out of congress. It’s a doozy of an episode that you won’t want to miss!

2/5/24 - If A Tree Falls And Zero Voters Hear It...

Well, have we got a podcast for you!! Our resident legal expert Ben Softness joins us to unpack it all. Plus, we’ll update you on the CA Senate race, how both the Dems and the GOP played themselves on immigration, and our continued annoyance with Taylor Swift. Don’t miss it!

1/29/24 - The Civil War of Their Dreams

What a week! A presidential primary, congressional shenanigans, threats of escalating war everywhere, and even the threat of a civil war here at home. Okay that all sounds pretty bleak, but we promise you this podcast is somehow still a real banger of an episode. Don’t miss it!

1/24/24 - The New Hampshire Non-Primary

We’re back! And just in time to report that despite polling showing that no one in America wants a Trump/Biden rematch, we’ve officially begun banding together at the ballot box to make sure we get it anyway. And that’s democracy, friends.

12/14/23 - Self-Inflicted Embarrassment

We’re back! And yes, it’s Thursday, but it’s also the holidays, and we are very important and popular people so cut us some slack. This week we’ll cover the new “impeachment” inquiry, the latest GOP “debate” and the latest Iowa “poll”. Seriously, what are republicans up to these days? All that plus a ton more! Don’t miss it!

12/4/23 - Kissinger is Dead

We did it, America. Henry Kissinger is Dead and George Santas can finally enter into his reality TV era. A banner week for everyone!
