The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

The Trump administration is waiting for immigrants to apply for legal benefits to stay in this country legally, they then won’t process the applications and will allow the applications to expire, then they’ll arrest these immigrants and throw them into jail. They’re encouraging immigrants to do the right thing, then they ignore what the immigrants did and arrest them. That’s evil.

My weekly sit down with long time Chicago Democrat Edwin Eisendrath, we covered the primary results in Michigan and Wisconsin, the state of the DSA, and the deplorable conditions are sailors are enduring in Trump’s stupid, illegal war. As usual, Edwin is more optimistic about things than me. Interesting chat.

A sitting United States senator went on his podcast yesterday and knowingly spread a malicious, dangerous lie. Knowingly. Our Republic is in deep trouble because way too many Americans are increasingly untethered to truth, untethered to the facts. And when we have our political leaders wantonly spreading disinformation, then maybe we’re done.

She’s a green card holder, has lived in California for yrs, she’s a teacher, with no criminal record, who’s done everything right per our fucked up immigration laws, but for the past five months, she, and her husband and her high school aged son have been locked up in horrible conditions in an ICE detention facility in Texas. I don’t know how we’ll ever recover from Trump’s crimes.

After January 6th, there should never ever be another failure of imagination to what Trump might do to fuck with America’s elections. We must imagine the worst, so we can be ready for the worst. Not to do so would be a huge failure of our civic responsibility. He will try anything to fuck with/cancel the midterms. We must be ready.

Trump lies as he breathes, and when he lied about Haitian migrants eating cats & dogs, people believe him. But his lies about the economy won’t work. Also, the right wing fear mongering is only gonna get worse, and…fuck that ballroom. No matter what Trump call it.

Tucker Carlson wants to start a new political party, maybe even run for President. He, along with Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene, are trying to lead all the American first followers. And there are a lot of them. Because there have always been nativists in this country. And that’s what Tucker wants to tap into.

JD Vance yesterday called for any public official who’s committing fraud, committing public corruption, who’s personally enriching themselves off of the American taxpayer to be thrown into prison. Wow. So…nobody in American history has engaged in more public corruption, has enriched themselves off the American taxpayer more than Trump has. No one. Not even close. So…Vance clearly thinks Trump should be in prison, right?
