Matt Lauer does a terrible job but illustrates our point; Joe Scarborough can't accept that he must vote for Hillary Clinton, and the Aleppo gaffe by Gary Johnson proves we actually need a Jimmy Carter foreign policy (Human Rights, anyone?) More at ProfessionalLeft.blogspot.com. Support the show

Is the whole Donald Trump thing getting you down? There is a cure! More at ProfessionalLeft.blogspot.com Support the show

The Obama Election in '08 was Apollo 11. This election is Apollo 13 - no moon landing, just get us home safe! Trump reaches out to "the Blacks," Clinton Foundation needs less f**ks, and the Alt Right speech has too much truth for MSM - too bad. Cable Media versus Ground Up Change.

Driftglass and Blue Gal celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. We remember, actually remember, Andrew Breitbart, while Bill Kristol pretends to. Trump defies physics, the Tea Party was a scam all along, and Reince rallies with Trump because he’s a Republican (again, never forget. No rebranding!) More at ProfessionalLeft.blogspot.com.

The Gerrymandered Media of Fox News, why the Olympics matters, how the GOP actually set fire to their brand before Trump. More at ProfessionalLeft.blogspot.com Support the show
