    In Defense of D.O.G.E. | 11-23-24
    Nov 23 2024
    The best strategy for Democrats nowadays seems to be to simply be quiet and leave it to the Republicans to explain a proposed cabinet full of law breakers, Putin stoolies and science deniers. One of the closest elections in American history is over and now it’s up to the Republicans in Congress govern. History tells us that might not go well. But Anthony is not dismissing the most recent stab at weeding out government waste being run by Musk and Vivek. It may be valuable for a couple of tech bros to learn what serious students of our country already know – American likes the things Washington spends money on. Also, more talk about the future of New York City. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The Crazy Logic of Trump’s Picks | 11-16-24
    Nov 16 2024
    This week brought some really batty nominations from our President-elect. Many Americans seem to be responding with a combination of surprise and fear. But Anthony posits that these are exactly the kinds of picks that we all should have anticipated. What does this say about his second term? Probably that we should not be shocked to learn there is a bull in the china shop. We just voted that we hated china! Also, Anthony reflects on his first week as a maybe candidate in 2025.

    The Illegal Migrant Trying to Buy The Election | 10-26-24
    Oct 26 2024
    Ah, Chefs Kiss. As the election winds down and the polls agree that it will end in a tie, what could be a more perfect story? Anthony looks at the news that Donald Trump’s biggest supporter and promulgator of anti-immigrant lies, is himself an…illegal immigrant. The Washington Post my not be endorsing Kamala Harris this year, but they have given us a runaway winner of the Biggest Hypocrite contest. Also this week, why you haven’t seen Nikki Haley on the stump appealing to Nikki Haley voters to vote for Trump. A hint : she worked for Trump, so she knows him. Finally, Obama is good at word talking. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Closing Arguments on Election ‘24 | 10-19-24
    Oct 19 2024
    Are we there yet? Seventeen days more of this?? Anthony tries to be of service with a issue wrap up for the, uh, 31 remaining undecided voters in his listening audience. But he still found time to acknowledge the end of another significant thing – the life of the head of a middle east terrorist organization. Hamas and Hezbollah have both been beheaded in recent weeks in a vindication of the Israeli strategy of house-to-house combat. Is it enough to save Bibi? Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Trump Lies Obama Replies | 10-12-24

    Trump Lies Obama Replies | 10-12-24
    Oct 12 2024
    It was a tragic week in our country as two big storms ravaged the south. While Americans pulled together, our contentious politics hardly missed a beat. Actually it was worse: one candidate actually used the catastrophes to break out his favorite weapon – lies. Donald Trump cast doubt about storm spending and made things up about the cooperation of the federal government. It was unseemly even to members of his party but even worse, it left many victims of the storms feeling that they had nowhere to turn for help. Barak Obama weighed in and Anthony offered an Amen.

    The January 6th October Surprise | 10-05-24
    Oct 5 2024
    The Veep debate was mostly a tie. Anthony called it a good reminder about how politics used to be sort of normal. The stickiest viral moment came when Vance got hung up refusing to acknowledge that his boss lost the last election. Suddenly January 6th was back in the news in more ways than one. Jack Smith began the trial before the trial with this brief about whether the insurrection was by Trump the candidate or Trump the President. Maybe Trump isn’t immune from the voters not liking their votes denied. Also, this week, the anniversary of October 7. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
