TMC - Episode 69: Trump Traps and Illegal Orders 31:17

10d ago31:17

31:17

Send us a text 5 Democrats do something uncharacteristic, but relatively normal - at least if we were in normal times. These are anything but normal times. Trump threatens enemies with death, threatens invasions of allies, threatens invasions of neighbors who are not a threat, and loads of money keep pouring into his bank accounts - As Americans tr…

17d ago44:54

44:54

Send us a text I hear it, you probably do too: McConnell's fault, or Biden's. Maybe even the Supreme Court or Aileen Cannon. It might be a bit simple to claim any one thing brought about the success of Donald Trump's brand, or kept it going. However, there are significant bricks that make up the wall of today's world that gave us Trump. This episod…

2M ago28:13

28:13

Send us a text The No Kings rally was a great success. There has never been a protest this large in American history! The goal was to raise awareness of the moves being made to consolidate - or simply take - power into an authoritarian executive branch, and to remind everyone America has No Kings. Maybe it had a side effect no one anticipated. Mayb…

Send us a text The National Guard is getting some bad press. This is not the National Guard's fault though. The Guard has a long, storied history in America, and this episode shares some of the highlights (and a low light too). It also compares President Trump's use of the National Guard to other Presidents in history. Spoiler Alert: it doesn't do …

Send us a text Ask an easy question, and sometimes you get a deep thoughtful response. What killed Charlie Kirk is one of those questions. Not who, but what.

Send us a text Tariff, a hot button issue for sure. In America, we argue - still - over who pays them (Hint: it is not the foreign nation). We complain about how they increase prices.
