In the wake of an apparent second assassination plot against Donald Trump, everyone has an opinion about who and what is to blame. Vance and Trump blame the Democrats for “attacking Trump”… by, er, fact-checking him and pushing back against his authoritarian ideals. Let’s be very, very clear: political violence is unacceptable. It is not the answer to political difference. And physical violence of...

First off, let’s state the obvious. Political violence is never acceptable. Over the weekend, an attempted assassin waited at one of Trump’s Florida golf courses with a high-powered gun. Trump’s Secret Service detail shot at the man before he ever had Trump in his sights or took a shot and the alleged would-be assassin is now in custody. And, of course, Trump immediately took to social media to se...

Kamala Harris is a what??? Trump has claimed multiple times that Harris is a Marxist. A caller echoed that claim, but failed to substantiate it. Suffice to say, they didn’t make a great impression with their air time. We wrap up our discussion of the debate by running through Trump’s racist anti-immigration rants. Or, at least the first 3 that the made, because Jess couldn’t cut any more of them a...
