Weekly Skews

We don’t necessarily make it a point to highlight a new insane right wing conspiracy theory every week, but damn if they don’t keep making em up. Tonight: butterflies, Mexicans, Mexican butterflies, a wall, death threats, fraud, and more! Also the biggest Bitcoin caper in history, and it’s truly wild perpetrators. Holler at it. Support the show

Alright so to hear conservatives tell it, the radical left has made a bunch of high school kids think they’re animals and demand dog bowls and litter boxes and whatnot. Which is as hilarious as it is not at all true, as per usual. Also, cops in small town AL are policing for profit. So that’s fun. Join us! Support the show

This week we talk about the latest in an endless line of laughably absurd and completely made up conservative controversies: sexy candy and reverse racism. These people are truly somethin’ else. Also “World War III” was trending yesterday, so that’s good. All that and more on this Skewsday. Support the show

This week we discuss the latest bleeding-edge COVID treatments emerging from the right, which apparently is taking a whole bunch of Prozac and then drinking pee. Are you feeling owned yet, libs? And speaking of owned, Ted Cruz gets taken behind the woodshed, Fauci throws down, and more. Support the show

This week we take a look at the Voltron of dumbasses assembling to take down Roe, the overwhelmingly negative media coverage of Joe Biden, and the comically unexpected pet cause of Marjorie Taylor Greene: criminal justice reform! (Naturally it’s worse and dumber than it sounds.) And more! Support the show

We are back and right back at it with some dumbassery deep dives: Mike Flynn turns on Q, Lauren Boebert workshops some new racism material, and a Florida Congressional race that’s insane even by Florida standards (dog bites! Russian hit squads! Roger Stone in drag!). Let’s do it.  Support the show

Tonight Mark returns to talk with Trae about everything from the Rittenhouse circus/trial to the hot new tactic sweeping the anti-vax scene (which involves...getting vaccinated?) to myriad other dumbasseries. Then, we are joined by Zachary Mueller of America’s Voice for a discussion on the absolute lunacy that is modern GOP campaign ad strategy. Support the show

This week Senior Georgia Correspondent Corey Ryan Forrester returns to guest host, and he and Trae tackle the biggest questions in America right now, many of which are apparently about Big Bird being a commie. So strap in.  Support the show

Tonight we talk about the hotly contested Virginia gubernatorial race, which has been a hell of a thing, even by 2021 standards.

This week Smart Mark breaks down the nefarious dealings of the world’s ultra-rich, as shown in the Pandora Papers (and Trae gets upset about it all).

This week, Trae flies solo as Smart Mark had to do something called “work”. Join Trae as he does his best to break down Congress’s incessant bungling of...well, everything, the continued scourge of anti-vax idiocy, and a whole litany of dumbasses you don’t wanna miss. Support the show

 Well the infamous Texas abortion law is being put to the test with a pair of civil lawsuits against a doctor who admits to violating SB8, and the details are PRET-TEE wild. And it seems bounty hunting your fellow Americans with lawsuits over political disagreements is all the rage with conservatives now (yay, fascism!). Plus plenty of dumbasses, as always.  Support the show

 We got a whole mess of dumbasses today, ranging from swollen ball fears to a hammered drunk Giuliani to Trump wantin’ to meet Biden in the octagon (and more). Also the California recall is upon us so we transplants will give y’all an update (spoiler: Larry Elder’s wild).  Support the show
