Wake Up. Trump's GOP Is No Longer Just A Cult. It's Now A Full-Fledged Political Party Again. Dangerous And To Be Reckoned With

2016 was all about Trump. His base was a cult, and many others who voted for him were ashamed to say they supported him. No longer. His support now has moved well beyond his cultish base, Trump has been normalized, and the Party is now a full-fledged major political party again. The rest of the country had better wake up to this. For the sake of our democracy.

  • I’m An American. I Have A Right To Call Elon Musk A Dick

    39:19|
    Earlier this week, JD Vance criticized our European allies for getting weak on protecting free speech. Two days later, JD’s administration sent a threatening letter to a Congressman hinting at a DOJ investigation into his criticisms of Elon Musk & Trump. This is ugly government free speech intimidation. Hey JD, what about free speech in America?
  • Don’t Blame Trump For Lying All The Time. Blame His Supporters

    38:21|
    Trump lies almost every time he opens his mouth. And I stopped saying shame on Trump for lying a long time ago. Now I say shame on his supporters for allowing Trump to lie to them. Trump’s lying is on them, not him. And btw, We Americans will never get back a healthy democracy if we don’t demand a semblance of truth from the politicians who represent us.
  • Our World War II Veterans Must Be Weeping This Morning

    36:41|
    Trump again yesterday blamed Ukraine for starting the war. Trump has made clear to the world that he stands with Putin & the world’s other dictators. He’s made clear that he does NOT stand with NATO & the free world. How horrible. And…how did Elon get so wealthy when he’s so damn ignorant? Maybe because he’s so damn dishonest. And…another oops from DOGE.
  • Putin Has Something On Trump. He Always Has

    40:27|
    The U.S. and Russia met in Saudi Arabia today to discuss resolving Putin’s war against Ukraine. Ukraine wasn’t there. Yes, you read that right. Trump continues to do exactly what Putin wants him to do, and by this point nobody should wonder why. The answer is obvious. It’s always been obvious. Trump works for Putin because Putin has something on Trump. That’s always been the case.
  • The U.S. Constitution or Donald Trump: Hey America, You Can't Have Both. So Choose.

    35:57|
    Trump sent out his utterly un-American post again this morning: "He who saves his county does not violate any law." It's a statement, a belief, that cannot coexist with our Constitution, cannot coexist if we're a nation of laws. So Trump is forcing Americans to choose: Him or the rule of law. What say you America?
  • In The Face Of Such Unprecedented Lawlessness, What Can We The People Do?

    40:53|
    I sat down with Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen (citizen.org) to discuss how citizens and the courts can best and most effectively stop what Musk and Trump are doing. We’ve never seen such a brazen, lawless convergence of concentrated corporate & government power. But we must fight back. Have a listen.
  • Congress, Do Your Job! Investigate Elon Musk. Now!

    34:47|
    So the state department just agreed to buy $400 million worth of Tesla’s? Hello? Can you say conflict of interest? So the guy who is currently in charge of the federal government also has government contracts for all of his companies? Hello? Audit his companies? Transparency? Overt corruption and HUGE conflicts of interest. Right out in the open. Here’s the beauty: Do the people care?
  • According To Trump, Musk, and MAGA, America just sucks

    38:51|
    If you actually listen to Trump and Musk every day - our military sucks, the deep state controls our justice dept and the FBI, there is no independent media, the federal government is all fraudsters and bad bureaucrats, even the judiciary is corrupt. According to Trump/Trumpism, America just sucks. But yet…he got elected saying all of this. And elections have consequences.
  • Hey MAGA, If You Want To Get Rid Of The Constitution, Have The Balls To Say So

    40:02|
    So many Trump supporters keep asking me every day - how come some judge can just overrule what a president wants to do? What’s the point of even having elections Joe? The point? The point is the Constitution. We’re either gonna have one and follow it, or we aren’t. It’s clear to me that that’s what MAGA wants, they just don’t have the balls to say it.
