Ep 481: Roger Stone Eat Your Heart Out 15.02.2019 58:49

Driftglass and Blue Gal celebrate the day we met face to face eleven years ago. Oh sure, Roger Stone has a gag order from a federal judge, but Driftglass is in Twitter jail (again!). We feel chided by the Mister Rogers documentary, and instructed by Stacey Abrams. Ann Coulter's brand is undergoing a "transformation" ha ha ha. We are right about Never-Trust-a-Never-Trumper, and Donal...

Ep 477: The Cave and The Stone 25.01.2019 1:07:33

Roger Stone indicted, the so-called president caves, and we invent a new term for perpetual media reputation recovery, because the Weekly Standard never really goes out of business.

Ep 476 Trump's Terrible Twos (The Trump Shutdown Continues) 18.01.2019 1:07:33

A wild week framed by the New York Times story that the FBI investigated Trump as a Russian asset, and the Buzzsprout report that Trump told Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. And so much in between.

Ep 474 ITMFA and a BOLO 05.01.2019 58:29

A Congresswoman shows her anger, and what it's about. We talk liberal anger versus conservative anger, and why the beltway press is totally comfortable with one of them. David Brooks blames "partisanship" and Chris Hayes makes a resolution we will help him stick to. More at ProLeftPod.com , and Be On The Look Out for Both Siderism. #BothSidesDont .

Ep 473:Prague Spring 28.12.2018 57:58

Whoops there was a cell phone bounce in Prague. Trump went to a battleground despite his now-proven-to-be-fake bone spurs.

Ep 471: The Smocking Gun! 15.12.2018 1:05:40

We didn’t know that Mick Mulvaney would be named Chief of Staff when we recorded this podcast Friday afternoon, but Driftglass’s description that any Trump COS will be “Newt Gingrich but not as smart” proved accurate no matter what. So many of Trump’s very best people are pleading guilty and going to jail. Driftglass eulogizes (not really) The Weekly Standard, and notes his “I told you so” moment....

Ep 470: Dang You Friday News Dump! 08.12.2018 1:10:56

Recorded BEFORE we had any news from Mueller, dang it. Citizens United allows wealthy mob bosses to run Republican governments. Driftglass offers the definition of “access journalism,” and is the internet maturing, or showing signs of exhaustion, by enforcing Community Standards against right wing nut jobs and racists?

Ep 469 -- Stupid Watergate Becomes Stupid Godfather 01.12.2018 51:06

The Cohen bombshell is something everyone should have seen coming since the Republican Convention of 2016. Climate Change is real but doesn’t have to be paralyzing.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! We talk about helping smaller podcasters (and recommend that bigger podcasters than us do the same).

Ep 464: Newt Gingrich is the Original MAGA 'Bomber' 26.10.2018 1:01:58

We remember that Newt Gingrich started throwing bombs long before actual bombs became a thing against Democrats and the media.

Ep 462 Taylor Swift-Boating 12.10.2018 1:04:30

Trump distracts with Kanye but we skip that insanity (literal) to talk about voter suppression, because it appears to be 1963 again in Georgia and Texas. DG goes after Michael Gerson and Glenn Beck. And we send our best wishes to the victims of Hurricane Michael. PS. Did you hear our Angel Nerd got arrested last weekend at an anti-Kavanaugh protest? She’s our heroine!
