The Grief of Politics

Avin and I discuss if Trump is a lame duck or not, and if the clock is running in that direction.

It's a solo episode as Avin is on vacation. I will be covering a lot of the Trump vanity projects and what he really, really cares about, and it is not the American voter for sure.

Avin and I actually talk about local politics for a change. Washington State passes a wealth tax into law which could change how the highest one percent in the state is taxed and bring in money for food assistance and housing relief.

Avin and I talk about what we know and what we think about the war in Iran. We try to unpack it all.

Avin and I are really worried about what is happening or going to happen with the 2026 election and beyond. We talk about Tulsi Gabbard and what is going on in Georgia. We play some clips and we depress ourselves. It gets better in the end though.

I think with voters at least, Trump doesn't seem to be able to control the cult of personality like he used to. Avin and I talk about it. Starting with the ICE shooting in Minnesota and going to an international story of Venezuela and the taking into custody of Nicholas Maduro.

We had technical problems with this episode so I had to re-record this one solo. I vent about how useless Susie Wiles is.

Avin is out. Don't worry just for the month. But I have been thinking about the whole Trump pardon situation. I rant a bit. Just a small one though.

Well Avin and I finally talk about ICE and DHS. It was a pretty passionate episode, with both of us going on a few rants. It may seem a bit dark out there, but we got you.

Avin works in I.T. He and I decide to finally talk about Artificial Intelligence. It was a pretty good talk, it helped me come down off the ledge.

Avin and I talk about 3 things that are concerning to us in the new Trump term. One of the things was a total surprise for me. Didn't see it coming.

Avin and I talk about The biggest news of the last month. I'm also trying out a new segment where I try to stump him with some news stories that he hasn't heard about yet. It's totally not a competition, but I win.

Avin and I had a whole show planned and then Trump had to think about bombing Iran. Real uplifting stuff.

This week Avin and I talk about how The Trump Administration is making money off being president. And it seems like this is the point. Both of us are worried this is going to be normalized.

I guess some episodes you just have to vent. Avin and I talk about Trump's tariff plans and his deportation policy. A little long but like I said at the top, sometimes you just need to get it out.

Avin and I talk about all the little stories in the Trump administration that we think not enough people are talking about. Things that we think are important. Enjoy.

Avin and I had to talk about it. What is going on with Elon Musk and DOGE(The Department of Government Efficiency). And to be honest we both don't understand.

Avin and I discuss Big Tech(Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Altman) people at the Inauguration, as well as the problem with Musk being part of government oversight and being a government contractor.

It's a bit of a strange episode. I have a bit of a theory that it seems lately, that everything bad is good. Which is odd. Between the middle-east, Trump's policies that may hurt the voter's and the murder of a healthcare CEO leading to us talking about healthcare.

Well the big news is that Trump is now the 47th President-Elect. We go over all the news that has dropped about Trump's cabinet appointments, and we examine why we thought Kamala lost. It's a long episode, but I'm glad we did it.

With it in the news and after the debate Avin and I had to talk about it. I think both of us were pretty mad about it.

Avin and I thought it would be good if we actually talked about the other people running for office in this election. Maybe some of these people you haven't heard of before and some of them you might not know about.

Avin and I talk about the state of the Democrats and Biden as well as Trump, and oh boy, we do a little segment at the end because the news broke about Trump after we got done recording the episode. We got all of our impressions in this video though.

Avin and I talk about Trumps felony conviction(and Hunter Biden). We also, recap and discuss all of Trump legal problems. Big shout-out to the BBC.

Avin and I really try to break down why, with so little time in the presidential race it seems the margins for both candidates is so razor thin. I had articles which I will share but, this really comes down to a general discussion we had. I'm not going to lie, it's a bit frustrating.
