10-28-2022 | It's the 62nd trip around the Sun for Driftglass, while later in the week, Blue Gal celebrates her 18th blogiversary. Driftglass notes that for Michael Gerson and other never-Trumpers, "The Road to Damascus" ended ten years ago. Our election sanity-saving advice? Ignore the polls, get your social circle to vote, do what you can to canvass, and then watch Caddyshack. Mor...

Driftglass' favorite "No Fair Remembering"!!! It's time for a multi-part podcast about everything David Brooks has written over his long career, and how wrong he's been. And the fascinating way Brooks is just like Donald Trump.

10-21-2022 | Lying, gaslighting, and exploiting: it's what the Republican elite does TO the rank and file of their own party. Also, Durham fails to Benghazi, or does he? And we look back ten years ago when we podcasted about a different, yet similar, election cycle. More at: http://proleftpod.com Become a Patron at: https://patreon.com/proleftpod Support the show

This week, we talk about Katie Abram and how the Right is so good at "team development." Blue Gal's "annotated" Katie Abram i...

9-30-2022 | We can't understand why Republican members of Congress freak out in public over border patrol and customs actually doing their job well. Also, teens are increasingly opting for birth control implants, why Arizona is weird, and of course, our thoughts are with those dealing with the effects of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Ian.

It's our 11th wedding anniversary! Driftglass comes up with some get-rich ideas based on the grifting from Andrew Yang and The Lincoln Project.

Biden's stock is going up, and Mango Mussolini's is going down, but MAGA doth protest, loudly. Meanwhile "independent constitutional conservatives" raise their hands again, and Driftglass has some thoughts about the DC Book Industry.

Driftglass got a BIG surprise retweet. Alex Jones roasted, but it's all about his podcast benjamins, which included days, DAYS, where he made $800,000. A big win in Kansas is a game changer for the midterms. And does Charlie Sykes have a split personality, or just a problem with one segment of his show agreeing with another?  More at http://proleftpod.com Live Premiere at https://youtu.be/1Qj...

July 16 is Bluegal/Fran's birthday! Takeaways from the seventh January 6 hearing. Driftglass takes over the bible b*tch to take on Psalm 137 as literature and (political) lesson. Bluegal wonders how "everybody knows" right wing militia were ready for Civil War. And a certain sh*tposting "leftist" tries to lie about the Illinois governor and Driftglass has words about that....

The tragedy in Highland Park has Bluegal hugging her kids tight. Washington will tone police Biden no matter what he says. A local Republican race does not go as planned, and gives a glimmer of hope. And good news from Senate Democrats? Really? More at http://proleftpod.com Support the show ( https://www.paypal.me/proleftpodcast ) Write us at proleftpodcast@gmail.com .

The end of Roe has us chopping wood and carrying water, probably for the rest of our lives but we're committed to that. J6 is a surprise bombshell on several levels, and we vote in the Illinois Democratic Primary.
