5d ago39:58

39:58

Thanks Liz and Dick Cheney now GET LOST. You get NOTHING for doing the right thing. And you especially don't get more political power because you're pretending to be "centrist." Have a nice day!

Ep 833 The Doctrine of the Mainstream Media 58:05

17d ago58:05

58:05

Doctrines come from the stories that a church or a political party or some other group tells about itself. In that sense, the stories people tell themselves create the reality that they believe in. Powerful stories tell them what’s true and what’s false. It gives them heroes and villains and victims, and an explanation for why things are the way th…

19d ago53:37

53:37

Also welcome back to the fight as, at long last, Democrats are "floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee." Are we finally back to the days of "Give 'em Hell, Harry"? We hope so! And the Donald Trump campaign has at least three "vendors" taking millions and no one knows what's being done with the money. (We can guess, though). More at prole…

Sir, many people have told us that Trump might drop out. Several important people said that Trump should drop out of the race. Some people say he should flee the country. I've even heard one person say he's a flight "risk," and that's what they call it, a "risk"- that he'll flee the country. Many things we thought would last forever didn't. Democra…
