The Lean to the Left Podcast

In my last podcast, I asked this question:Did the 106 Republican representatives who are asking the Supreme Court to invalidate the election run for Congress simply to demolish our democracy? Now I have a followup. Did that action amount to the crime of sedition? Should they be kicked out of Congress? And oh, by the way, that 106 number rose to 126 before that brief was finally submitted to the Su...

There’s a hashtag trending today on Twitter that perfectly summarizes today’s podcast. It’s #SeditiousGOP. In my blog on today’s Not Fake News.biz, I ask this question: Did the 106 Republican representatives who are asking the Supreme Court to invalidate the election run for Congress simply to demolish our democracy? That is the crux of it. So, take a listen to “Trump’s Coup: Demolishing our Democ...

It obviously is impossible for Donald Trump to reconcile the fact that he lost the election to Joe Biden, but somebody needs to set him straight and tell him, flat out, "Get over it, pal. You lost."Take a listen. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support .

The Republican party needs to retire its elephant and get a new mascot. The Grim Reaper Party (GRP) would be a better choice as its current platform appears to now include massive death and destruction. That’s the view of writer Susan Hutchinson, as she wrote today on Not Fake News.biz. Take a listen to “GOP Now the GRP – The Grim Reaper Party” from Not Fake News.biz.

A fool and his money are soon parted. It says so in the Bible, so it must be true. You would think Trump's supporters, many of them Evangelical Christians, would understand that and not be taken in by his latest election fraud scam. But no…they’ve sent him upwards of $175 million and counting. Take a listen to “Trump’s Con of All Cons” from Not Fake News.biz. Become a supporter of this podcast: ht...

Calls for martial law and for a fired election official to be shot for affirming election accuracy, and a possible GOP coup. Lunacy reigns, but shows no signs of going away any time soon. But, you say, the Electoral College vote comes December 14, and everything will be settled. Not exactly, if some Repubicans have their way. Take a listen to “Lunacy Reigns in Trumpland” from Not Fake News.biz. Be...

Donald Trump is having a hissy fit at the few Republican officials who have the courage to stand up to him and refuse to violate the law to help him overturn the presidential election.

It’s been remarkable to see how the many judges, some who are Republicans and even appointed by Trump, and other state officials are following the rule of law and rejecting Donald Trump’s phony charges of election fraud and funny business. That will be our discussion on today’s podcast. But first, I want to tell you that just in time for the holidays, we've slashed the price of our book, Hijacked...

This morning I saw a piece on MSNBC about some nurses who were caring for Covid-19 patients who took the time to present a patient, who had been hospitalized for more than a month, with a Happy Birthday song and a special cupcake. It was an act of kindness on an incredibly busy day for these nurses, all of whom along with all other healthcare workers, cannot be appreciated enough. Today’s podcast...

We’ve all gotten used to Donald Trump’s obsession with himself, his refusal to acknowledge failure or defeat, his penchant for blaming others – to the point that it’s just become routine, no matter how disgusting and irritating. But today, when Trump phoned in to a sham “hearing” about the Pennsylvania election results to whine and complain, our new president, Joe Biden, was the one who was presid...

I don’t know about you, but I felt a sense of relief when the announcement came that Donald Trump finally would allow the official transition to the Biden administration to go forward, even though he intends to continue his useless and harmful quest to overturn the election. But even though Trump has been defeated, his impact on our nation will be lasting. So, take a listen to “Trump Defeated. Tru...

In his latest book, DEATH TO AMERICA!: HOW WE THE PEOPLE SCREWED OURSELVES, author Ian Gurvitz makes the case that President Trump is not the cause of what’s broken in this country. He’s the result of it. He’s the malignant virus that grew out of our social/political/intellectual wet market, and attacked the body politic with no remorse and no goal other than to take over the host and kill it. Gur...

The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Matthew W. Brann rejecting Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the election results in Pennsylvania illustrates the importance of that third branch of our government, the Judiciary. Because it is the Executive Branch that is trying to take away our right to vote, and it is the irresponsible Trump scaredy-cats in the Republican Senate who are standing by, willi...

Should the American people have to put up with this nonsense being pursued by Donald Trump and his nutty lawyer, Rudy Giuliani? What will come of all of this?

Donald Trump and his lunatic lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, continue their campaign to wage what amounts to an attempted coup that would overturn the election of President-Elect Joe Biden. Giuliani and other Trump lawyers continue to claim without evidence that massive voter fraud resulted in Trump’s landslide loss. Do they really believe they can overrun the will of the American people and re-install Don...

Once all the Trump craziness over the election has come to its inevitable conclusion and Joe Biden is sworn in as president, one of the big questions to be dealt with will be whether Donald Trump should be held accountable for the crimes committed during his presidency. Much has been said about the need to heal the nation and that Democrats shouldn’t be vindictive; that Biden should not use the Ju...

If the Republicans win those two special elections in Georgia, they will maintain control of the Senate and Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham will be in a position to team up and make life miserable for President Joe Biden and his administration. They did it to President Obama, regardless of the impact on the nation, and there is no reason it’ll be any different this time around. Today, Graham, a...

I’ve got another double-header for you today. First, will be commentary from Not Fake News.biz, “Trump: Diminished & Finished.” A lot of commentators and pundits are predicting that Donald Trump, once he leaves the White House, will be the powerful leader of the Republican Party and the odds-on favorite to be the GOP’s next presidential nominee. Mark me down as saying, I don’t think so…” Listen an...

Today we’re interviewing Tony Cahill, a Democrat who bucked the odds big time to run for office in South Carolina, where “liberal” is such a dirty word that when a Republican brands their opponent with it, it’s a sure recipe for victory – for the Republican, that is. Tony’s an interesting guy. He’s been a public school teacher for years, but his main worry is Covid 19, and he’s got some interestin...

The election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would not have happened without the determined support of Black women in the United States. Fed up with the racism, hate, chaos, ineptitude and vitriol of the Trump presidency, Black women rose up like never before and can justifiably take credit for his resounding defeat. Stacy Fitzgerald, an outstanding voice on Not Fake News.biz, has some thoughts abo...

Yesterday, we suggested that Donald Trump will end up being The President of Fantasy Island after all of this nonsense over his court cases alleging voter fraud are dealt with, and that perhaps his ultimate goal was simply to find an easy way out without admitting defeat, which we all know he can never do. Well, today’s podcast focuses on a much more serious scenario painted by an attorney who wro...

Donald Trump apparently is living on Fantasy Island, refusing to accept that he's been repudiated by a majority of American voters, and now reportedly is looking for a way out without admitting that he's a loser. Which is what those court cases are all about. So take a listen to “The President of Fantasy Island” from Not Fake News.biz. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/p...
