The past week featured a convicted felon with dozens of still pending charges sweep into town, where they threw a mob-style welcome home party for him. This leads to lots of questions. Associating with known criminals is disqualifying for just about any job in the country, so why do we accept that these weak examples of leaders are worthy of our most precious tool...our vote? We discuss.minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
While we endure the period between verdict and sentence, and the GOP is out twisting itself into knots in defense of the convicted felon, Trump has some time on his hands to get back in front of microphones at rally's and interviews. And being Trump, he's making a fool of himself. We brought the receipts.minyard.minyard@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
Between now and July 11th, Judge Juan Merchan will be deciding what to do with convicted felon Donald Trump. We will hear daily predictions of "no incarceration", "home confinement", "probation", "community service" and "prison time". One thing is certain, Merchan's decision will cause half of our political populace to lose their shit. MAGA is already floating around in the dark spaces of the internet that they are locked and loaded and waiting for Trump to give the signal. Strap ...
If the big news networks can do it, why can't we? Trump goes down!minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com
General consensus is that if a verdict comes down this week, it's bad news for Trump. Here's hoping for a lightning fast verdict!Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
OK, so now the future of the country, no, the world rests in the hands of a dozen New Yorkers, and then hopefully a Judge who will impose an appropriate sentence to the criminal. And we wait...minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
Ken and Rick discuss the highlights of the past week, and imagine different scenarios pertaining to the elections this year. Either way, the coming holiday season is going to be...different. minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
So Ken is back from his planned month-long road trip...after a week...? He'll provide a full explanation. We get all caught up on what has happened over the past two weeks in the world at large, and in Trump world of course. Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
Ken is traveling for the next several weeks, and is sending us reports from the road. We follow his early progress in this episode, while discussing the much anticipated start to the first of many criminal trials of Donald Trump.Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
Ken and Rick have decidedly differing views on how AG Merrick Garland has handled the Trump investigation. We debate. We also explore how Evangelical Christians have destroyed their credibility with their slavish devotion to Trump. Lawrence O'Donnell had a monologue for the ages this past week in anticipation of the trial starting in Manhattan, while Trump's attorneys show just how competent they are. All this and more...minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
Last week, we explored the great American Tradition of Pitch Men, and made the argument that Trump is the greatest of all time. His grift has gotten him to the highest office in the land and convinced 70 million of our fellow voters to be convinced that he's the one to save us. Well, in this episode, we feature one more that certainly should have been included last week. Alex Jones. minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
Dating back 200 years or more, with the 'Snake Oil Salesmen', and others hawking their wares door-to-door or at County Fairs or boardwalks, America enjoys a long tradition of pitch men. We explore some of the best in the past 40 years or so, and ask where the line is between pitch men and grifter. There is no doubt that there is one who stands out as the best in history.Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton.
In a wild several days including Trump obtaining both another delay in one case, and a three week warning before a Jury is set to be seated in another...we share some of the Elon Musk interview with Don Lemon that ultimately got Lemon fired on his first day on the job at the app formerly known as Twitter. Was it the questions about Musk's tolerance of Nazi's and white nationalists? Or perhaps it was the challenges to Musk's assertions that the old Twitter was a bastion for leftist...
There is no disputing that America is at a place that we've not been since the 1860's. We really are two separate nations. Our differences appear to be irreconcilable. Therefore, instead of taking up arms and killing our fellow citizens over politics and whether we should convert from a Democratic Republic to an Authoritarian form of government, why not negotiate a civil separation and create the Red States of America and the Blue States of America? Each state can hold refer...
Big week. MAGA finally ran out the clock on Nikki Haley with the Super Tuesday results. President Biden blew away the low expectations set by both left and right by delivering a forceful State of the Union address, Eric Swalwell schools MAGA members of congress on the border bill, and Marjorie Taylor Greene told a foreign journalist to fuck off when asked about Jewish space lasers. Just another week.minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
The election of 2024, and quite probably the future of American democracy comes down to a battle between two grandpas. One, a kindly and beloved man with a loving family and a history of kindness and caring, and the other a career con man who has cheated and lied his way through life, and is threatening to end our system of government. We discuss.Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.commusic by David Horton
This week, psychologist Dr John Gartner, formerly of Johns Hopkins University Medical School, sounded the alarm...on Donald Trump. Trump's slurring and inability to sometimes formulate complete sentences appears to be a sign of growing dementia and possible early stages of Alzheimer's. He asserts that Trump is becoming more dangerous by the day. "This is a tale of two brains. Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing," he says. "He just becomes incomprehensible when...
Aside from another mass shooting at a Super Bowl celebration, a massive, multi-hundreds of millions of dollars judgement against Trump and his spawn, the assassination of the leading opposition figure in Russia by Putin a month before the elections there...did anything of interest happen this week?Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
Ken has a unique look at what Joe Biden is going through at 81 years old. He can relate he says. We discuss. Also, we focus on how this election is going to have to be conducted in order to keep Trump out of the White House again. And it isn't going to be pretty. Time to get dirty.Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
WE DID IT! We made it through a podcast and only devoted maybe ten minutes to Donald Trump! Instead, we discuss, at length, the most popular celebrity on the planet, and someone who strikes absolute fear into MAGA brains. minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton
