The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal

The Bulwark Guys are "tired of being right"!  We discuss the actual origins of "hippie punching" (Thanks Susie Madrak) and conservatives discover their inner socialist rather than consent to the Daily Wire's paywall!  Trump loves the vaccine, LOL!  More at http://ProLeftPod.com !

Why is Chris Christie everywhere, even The Daily Show on Comedy Central?  The answer is surprisingly simple.  Driftglass unearths David Brooks's column from the  EIGHTEEN fifties, and we "catch up" (LOL) with Milo Yiannopoulos.  More at ProLeftPod.com !

A new social media platform that plays like a multi-level marketing scheme? We know who is behind THAT one! And Driftglass reads a book that shows the late 19th century rhymes with our own time.

Fox goes War on Christmas because of course, they do. Driftglass is right and Lawrence O'Donnell is wrong. Kyrsten Sinema is in Europe?!?

What a week.  Blue Gal needs hazard pay after T***p's colonoscopy AND Corey Lewandowski's sex life hit the news cycle.  We still don't know as of this recording what will happen with the Build Back Better agenda bills. Matthew Dowd gets one point for running as a Democrat, and we urge Texas Democrats to choose someone else for Lt. Governor.   And Driftglass does a crossover segment...

We were going to call this "a very special 9/11 episode feat. Bill Kristol" but we considered that poor taste (But The Bulwark Podcast didn't!) and also we would never have an Iraq War pimp on our show. (But The Bulwark Podcast did!)
