Kagro in the Morning - July 1, 2024
July 01, 2024 18:56 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBOnce more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin beseech us — Into July, KITM’s afoot! You are probably aware that Donald Trump and Joe Biden got into a televised snit last week. It seemed mostly about golf, and yet our President aptly demonstrated that he was fully capable of not only meeting but exceeding the expectations and predictions of every (Republican) pundit. Democrats, however... were surprised. One thing’s for certain, whoever was responsible ...
Kagro in the Morning - June 28, 2024
June 28, 2024 17:53 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBKITM listeners are the luckiest people on earth. Where else could you tune in to a political newscast of any stripe that isn’t talking about the debate this morning? Bless David Waldman. For the sake of argument, let’s say that Donald Trump still finds he has a hard time being reelected president. Across the nation, Republicans have learned the error of their ways, and are now planning to rig the vote better for their candidates and block the vote better against their opponents. Mi...
Kagro in the Morning - June 27, 2024
June 27, 2024 18:24 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBThe late-breaking flood of SCOTUS decisions (and especially, a new-to-us kind of sort-of non-decision) captivated Greg Dworkin this morning. Though it really started yesterday, with one case they meant to release, but which got what we’ll call varying treatment in the media, and one case they didn’t mean to release, but did anyway. That led us to something new for the day: the Supreme Escape Hatch known as the “DIG.” Thankfully, someone had already done some digging. Specifically into just...
Kagro in the Morning - June 26, 2024
June 26, 2024 17:55 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBDavid Waldman welcomed Greg Dworkin for the first time this week, and they sure had a lot to talk about this morning. Mostly the discussion centered around yesterday’s primaries, primarily Jamaal Bowman taking away a loss after he stepped away from the herd once too often. Let that be a lesson to you uppity minorities. Not that iconoclasts fare better in the other party. All three female Gop state senators who filibustered an abortion ban in South Carolina lost their primaries. Lauren Boe...
Kagro in the Morning - June 25, 2024
June 25, 2024 18:06 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt's Tuesday, so David Waldman and Joan McCarter are at it again, here to say a thing or two about this and that, and always in a timely and relevant fashion. Donald Trump will commence his fifth week as a convicted felon at this Thursday’s debate. He will probably take that as his cue to plead the fifth on his debate questions, especially if they are unfair and rigged, such as questions about the past, what he believes, or facts. Judges have been conspiring to take away Donald’s right to ...
Kagro in the Morning - June 24, 2024
June 24, 2024 18:02 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBMonday, and Greg Dworkin is on assignment, or perhaps an extended house call, but we did find his Raft O’ Stories™ beached just around the bend. Don’t worry, David Waldman can take it from here. Remember when a guy could just shoot his wife when she got out of line and no one ever gave him any guff about it? 8 out of 9 Supreme Court justices don’t… or at least they picture that men 250 years ago or so would take the offender aside and say “O gentle son, upon the heat and flame of thy dist...
Kagro in the Morning - June 21, 2024
June 21, 2024 18:18 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDavid Waldman reminds us that there are only 136 days of Donald Trump being a convicted felon before the election, and less than a week of Donald Trump being a convicted felon before the first debate, but less than a day of Donald Trump being a convicted felon before the weekend! The first debate is the moment we’ve all been… dreading, to be honest. No one wants this, but everyone thinks that they need it. President Joe Biden’s executive actions on immigration removed half of Donald Trump’...
Kagro in the Morning - June 20, 2024
June 20, 2024 17:30 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBHappy Solstice! KITM is the source for a few minutes worth of hesitant Painthenge discussion! We may already have said this yesterday, but this — about Juneteenth — bears repeating. Greg Dworkin kickstarts a demographics and polling-oriented segment today with views from the other side, actually. But about growing Latino power at the polls, a strength not to be taken for granted. Still, there’s no denying things just don’t look like they can come together for Trump, and they probably kno...
Kagro in the Morning - June 19, 2024
June 19, 2024 17:56 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBIt’s Wednesday and David Waldman invites us to the Donald Trump is a Convicted Felon Week Four Eve KITM Special. Juneteenth seems to be one of those holidays to celebrate, while also appreciating the journey there. The baseball world, including Greg Dworkin, reflect upon the influence that the 'Say Hey Kid', Willie Mays, had on their life growing up. The FAA is investigating counterfeit, questionable, or problematic titanium discovered in Boeing and Airbus jets, nuances hopefully ind...
Kagro in the Morning - June 18, 2024
June 18, 2024 18:45 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBIt is Tuesday! Three in a row for convict Donald Trump, one of many for the inculpable David Waldman and Joan McCarter. Donald Trump isn't messing around. If you aren’t with him, you're against him. Even if you are with him, if you weren’t with him, you’re against him. Because, Donald’s a lunatic megalomaniac, and those are just the rules. Republicans are just toys for Trump’s amusement, therefore Gops will eat their own if it keeps them safe from Trump another day... although there ...
Kagro in the Morning - June 17, 2024
June 17, 2024 18:27 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin are here to make your Monday… less so. 20 days in and convicted felon Donald Trump is still on the run, from authorities, morality, reality, sanity… Other than for maybe the law, Donald has an insurmountable head start, aided by an equally addled and prevaricating lineup of hypocrites, traitors, and idiots. For example, “Blacks for Trump” — 8,000 jerks somehow packed into 300 morons. Ace KITM Correspondent Rosalyn MacGregor tells us that if people are indeed...
Kagro in the Morning - June 14, 2024
June 14, 2024 18:31 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBOn today’s KITM, David Waldman celebrates making it to the weekend on his last fraying vocal cord, while I celebrate publishing over 2,000 entries obviously not written by AI since 2015. It’s unanimous. The Supreme Court ruled on FDA v. Alliance For Hippocratic Medicine. 9-0 because it lacked standing, 3-6 that the lawsuit was absurd, dangerous, and should not have made it to SCOTUS level, and 6-3 looking forward to passing it next year. Oops! Clarence Thomas forgot to mention a few more...
Kagro in the Morning - June 13, 2024
June 13, 2024 17:24 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin hauled in another Raft o’ Stories™ for us, but the big news surfaced while we were on the air. FDA v. Hippocratic Alliance was decided by SCOTUS to lack standing. It was mostly wingnut target practice, so expect more potshots later. Southern Baptists voted to oppose in vitro fertilization, but rejected a tighter ban on women pastors. They better pick up the pace on their traditional fertilizing, if they don’t want to go out like the Shakers. For now, they but...
Kagro in the Morning - June 12, 2024
June 12, 2024 17:34 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin haul in the humongous hump day Raft O’ Stories™. Today is the second Wednesday that Donald Trump has been a convicted felon. It’s the first Wednesday for Hunter Biden, which is all exactly how Hunter and Joe rigged it, probably in league somehow with Steven KG Bannon. Another Wednesday means more primary news! Thirstiest member of Congress, Nancy Mace lives to be thirsty again. Sherrod Brown holds the blue in reddening Ohio, where Democrats still lose, but ...
Kagro in the Morning - June 11, 2024
June 11, 2024 19:33 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBSome unexpected international headline news today: Dr. Saulos Chilima, the Vice President of Malawi died in a plane crash. Closer to home, Congress was returning for another routine work week… if you can call the WIPPES Act mere routine! But I’ll tell you what is becoming routine. And that’s Nancy Mace becoming an unmanageable boor. Donald Trump, of course, is already an unmanageable boor, and a bore. So he decided to liven things up with a truly moronic diatribe about… electric boats, m...
Kagro in the Morning - June 10, 2024
June 10, 2024 18:52 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin had little to no health concerns today, and not many pressing commitments at this time, so they decided to throw us a pleasant little KITM: TFFG is forever a convicted felon, yet not quite sentenced. Today’s perfect meeting with a probation officer will help to determine that sentence. So far Donald has art of the dealt himself out of a urine test. Oh the wonders they’ll find in Steven KG Bannon’s cup. It’s the 80th anniversary of D-Day and we are still wag...
Kagro in the Morning "Encore Performance" - June 5, 2020, airing June 7, 2024
June 07, 2024 16:22 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBDavid Waldman just didn't have the voice left to finish out the week. So today, once again, KITM stands for Kagro in a Time Machine. It's another look back, and another opportunity to convince yourself that yes, you are better today than you were four years ago. Way better! Take a look at how bad it really was: Donald Trump can’t even golf, the news is so beautiful. We’re in the money! Employment has dived to still-depression levels. Trump says he couldn’t have done it if it wasn’t for...
Kagro in the Morning - June 6, 2024
June 06, 2024 18:26 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBToday, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin observe the 80th anniversary of D-Day, along with Eastern Orthodox Donald Trump Conviction Day, plus their usual gallimaufry of insight and foresight. You got to love those double haters! Joe Biden could hold the White House if only a tiny number of voters swing his way, and as luck would have it, a tiny number may. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also has a tiny number of voters who might become useful for someone someday. Everyone is quitting in election of...
Kagro in the Morning - June 5, 2024
June 05, 2024 19:40 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin celebrate the first Wednesday since TFFG earned his 34 Fs. Donald is a felony factory. President Joe Biden finally acknowledged Trump’s rising street cred. Kevin McCarthy, Mike Johnson and the Wall Street Journal predict Joe won’t spit rhymes at the level of Ice Turd during their upcoming rap battle. “What porn star would Joe Biden smash?” is the question many undecided voters need answered before picking their Tony Soprano this November. Tony could provid...
Kagro in the Morning - June 4, 2024
June 04, 2024 18:41 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBTuesday! Apricate in sagacious David Waldman’s perspicacious eunoia, or something. Look that up in your Corpus of Historical American English. Is Donald Trump in jail yet? Why not? Does this mean there’s still time to get into the financially rewarding career of becoming a Trump witness? Nothing compares to the luxe life of a Trump judge though. Get yourself some of that eleganté Mercatus swag, like bottomless shrimp cocktails, warm towels, free cable… I don’t know, I clearly have not be...
Kagro in the Morning - June 3, 2024
June 03, 2024 18:03 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBGreg Dworkin has had a raft o’stories offshore for days now, but David Waldman, always a stickler for protocol, wouldn’t allow him to dock until today. Let’s see what we have on deck... Hey, DIDYA HEAR? Donald Trump is a convicted felon! It really couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy… In fact, it only happens to people who are convicted of felonies! That’s how America is supposed to work! Trump’s 34 felony convictions certainly were not rigged, as Trump riggers apparently couldn’t find en...
Kagro in the Morning - May 31, 2024
May 31, 2024 17:06 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBWell, Trump’s trial jury decided to head into the weekend early, scuttling our chance to hear David Waldman vocally impersonate each member of the 118th Congress over the course of one KITM. Maybe next week. TFFG earned another F last night. In fact, he earned 34 more. The question is, do all of those F’s finally take him to a big fat L? To us in the hoi polloi, it would seem apparent, but let’s stand back and let the experts think this through… Yes, at long last it does seem as if Donald ...
Kagro in the Morning - May 30, 2024
May 30, 2024 17:46 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt's Thursday, and David Waldman returns! Greg Dworkin returns!! and Armando returns!!! They don’t make Thursdays any better than this. In New York, Donald Trump’s first criminal trial jury deliberates. They have requested that a few bits of testimony previously drowned out by TFFG snore-farts to be repeated, with special attention given to the felonious bits. Fox smooths out the nuances by demanding that all US citizens but Trump be frog-marched to awaiting squad cars. If Florida deputy...
Kagro in the Morning - May 29, 2024
May 29, 2024 17:53 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBDavid Waldman brings the wit and wisdom to today’s KITM. Greg Dworkin’s appearance adds to that… or maybe he multiplies it. Donald Trump’s family have been showing up at his trial lately, just in case visitation becomes more restricted in the near future. Pundits are divided between those that believe a guilty verdict would help Trump, and those who believe it would hurt Biden. Then there are those who aren’t sure if it will matter enough one way or the other. Young and nonwhite voters ma...
Kagro in the Morning - May 28, 2024
May 28, 2024 18:23 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBDavid Waldman has had enough grilling and hammocking, back to the microphone! Closing arguments have begun in the People of New York vs. Orange J. Turd, and well, he might not be as easy to flush as one would think standing outside the stall. Once reelected, fake electors plan to fake elections better. The Washington Post buried the Alito upside-down flag story for three years, because who doesn’t signal international distress when attacked by passive-aggressive lawn signs? Martha-Ann...
Kagro in the Morning "Encore Performance" - May 27, 2020, airing May 27, 2024
May 27, 2024 15:00 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBAnother installment in our continuing series, “Are You Better Off Now, with an Episode From Four Years Ago?” Things were very different on May 27, 2020. For one thing, it was a Wednesday. Also, there was a global pandemic, and we had the worst possible president. Here’s how Scott Anderson described it, using the primitive tools we had available to us in those times: David Waldman and Greg Dworkin clocked into their home offices early this morning to apply their noses to their respecti...
Kagro in the Morning - May 24, 2024
May 24, 2024 17:30 - 1 hour - 54 MBDavid Waldman drops us off at the corner of a long holiday weekend holding a brand new KITM that he has crafted himself, with a little heart drawn on the outside. Donald Trump drew a large crowd at his rally in the Bronx! No, he drew a small crowd! Well, we must prove that the size was the size it was to the other side! Because, once they understand the facts, they will understand… well, nothing really. Democrats love to state all of the facts on hand, as well as explain all of the logic...
Kagro in the Morning - May 23, 2024
May 23, 2024 18:17 - 1 hour - 54 MBWhat are David Waldman and Greg Dworkin talking about today? Whatever it is, you will probably be talking about it tomorrow! Donald Trump has had a couple of days filled with backpedaling, baseless attacks, authoritarian fantasies, all with a smattering of Nazi around the edges. It sure is a familiar formula, but if anyone knows how to sell a crap sequel, it is Trump. The story doesn’t need to make sense, just add catchphrases and up the gratuitous violence and you’re set. Oh, and scrap th...
Kagro in the Morning - May 22, 2024
May 22, 2024 17:35 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin are up to their usual Wednesday hijinks. Let’s laugh and learn along. Yes, MAGA has been feeling like showing their Nazi side recently. LOL! They’re just trolling the Libs! Then... Lib tears multiply their press. Then, all of this increased exposure moves the Overton window. Then, it’s policy. Before you know it, 5/9ths of the Supreme Court start believing that is how the Founding Fathers would have intended it. You say that Donald Trump’s vow to deport 15 ...
Kagro in the Morning - May 21, 2024
May 21, 2024 18:32 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDonald Trump broke his vow to testify at his New York Fraud trial today. It hurts to think that he might have been lying all along to everyone. Yesterday the entire courtroom had to be cleared... incredibly, it wasn’t Donald who dealt it, it was defense witness, MAGA loon lawyer Robert Costello. The countdown to the verdict now begins. Like at Trump rallies, Gop third string cheerleaders will probably decide to knock off early to beat the traffic home. Probably not the unified Reich that T...
Kagro in the Morning - May 20, 2024
May 20, 2024 17:08 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDavid Waldman is surprised as you are that it’s already Monday. Greg Dworkin remains on “Assignment”… or “Sabbatical”... or maybe “Hiatus” (The names of his fishing boats) in search of the perfect Raft O’Stories™ to haul in on this Wednesday. Meanwhile, Greg tells us of Israel's internal infighting, which doesn’t quite have the bodycount of their external fighting, but it is still quite messy. Joe Biden gave the commencement speech at Morehouse College, which emphasized the values of fai...
Kagro in the Morning - May 17, 2024
May 17, 2024 17:47 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBWhy not start a Friday with weird sports news? But not just any weird sports news. Political sports news! A guy who is a genuine NFL player, albeit a kicker, has said some things. They were meant to be pretty conservative, especially with regard to gender roles, and he thought his views would be at home at a Catholic college. But nuns actually work for a living. We may never know who’s right about this dust-up as between the cops and a top pro golfer. But then again, not every story has ...
Kagro in the Morning - May 16, 2024
May 16, 2024 17:47 - 1 hour - 54 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin make it to the end of (Greg's) week! Unless you’re Greg, or need to get to Barron’s graduation, you still need to show up tomorrow. Michael Cohen, former fixer for Donald Trump, is fixing him good for his third day of testimony, his second under cross examination by crying little shit Todd Blanche. We are close to the finish line now, so close that Judge Merchan might resist the temptation to jail Trump for his contemptuous gang of surrogates outside the cour...
Kagro in the Morning - May 15, 2024
May 15, 2024 17:55 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBOn today’s KITM, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin announce that we are right. In fact, it turns out that we were correct all along! The People of the State of New York v. Orange J. Turd takes their Wednesday break today. Yesterday, Trump’s backup singers arrived well rehearsed to all sing the same tune outside the courthouse. Imagine their embarrassment when Tommy Tuberville wanted to join in. Tag team porn watcher Mike Johnson missed his chance to get Stormy’s autograph, but as second in ...
Kagro in the Morning - May 14, 2024
May 14, 2024 17:39 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBDavid Waldman takes The KITM House off of double-secret probation to allow Joan McCarter to visit a while. Good news for Donald Trump! That IRS audit has finally been completed, and Trump will be able to share his tax returns from now on. Michael Cohen (the one who is not the other one) returned to the “Von ShitzinPantz”, or if you prefer, the “Orange Turd” trial. Today was Mike Johnson’s turn to be Trump’s contempt ventriloquist puppet. Mike is an example of those kind of puppets that ...
Kagro in the Morning - May 13, 2024
May 13, 2024 18:05 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBWhere were you in the geomagnetic storm of ‘24? A few tractors have been seen wandering about, but no giant carnivorous plants, spooky kids or zombie hordes to speak of, which is actually a good thing, as David Waldman and Greg Dworkin already have enough on their plates to discuss as it is. Today at the Orange Turd Von ShitzinPantz trial, informally known as the “Trump hush money trial” the prosecution called their star witness, Michael Cohen. (No, not the guy you're thinking of… then aga...
Kagro in the Morning - May 10, 2024
May 10, 2024 17:33 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDavid Waldman makes a surprise return to KITM! It was mostly a surprise to him, but there he was, sitting in front of the microphone, so he figured, why not? By popular (David’s Mom) request, Ace KITM Correspondent Rosalyn MacGregor reports on Abdullah Hammoud, the Mayor of Dearborn, Michigan deciding whether to support Joe Biden, and if a lack in his support will bring peace to Gaza, or Donald Trump to office. Meanwhile, over in Rosalyn’s neck of the woods, voters in Ottowa County recall...
Kagro in the Morning - May 9, 2024
May 09, 2024 17:03 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s Thursday, the day David Waldman interrupts Greg Dworkin's laundry day to get the latest in news and analysis! (Greg still works a couple of loads through.) So, RFK Jr had a brainworm, but why did the worm have to be such a hog? How could such a thing happen? Maybe Bob just said it to win a divorce settlement, in which case he certainly must have brainworms. Stormy Daniels testified for the second day of the last criminal trial Donald Trump will ever have. The court was packed, as St...
Kagro in the Morning - May 8, 2024
May 08, 2024 18:13 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin fight ignorance and injustice on today’s KITM. Well, most of the KITMs, actually, but today is a good example. Stormy Daniels took the stand in Orange Turd v. Von ShitzinPantz yesterday. Stormy, known to have a way with words, recounted the details and drama of her short time with Donald Trump leading up to his committing 30+ criminal offences. People like Samson, Ron Jeremy and Trump have a way with the ladies that evangelicals just can’t help but admire. ...
Kagro in the Morning - May 7, 2024
May 07, 2024 18:29 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBDavid Waldman brings the Tuesday energy today and leaves it all on the KITM court. Donald Trump demands mandatory attendance to his Fertilization Party. NH Gop Jess Edwards wants that party packed with young girls, ripe for the picking. Israel is agreeing to a “cease-fire”, but not a crash-diet on their end, maybe a few cheat days, a fun-size bombing or two just to taper off. Young voters might not like this, but they don’t like a lot of things. Hillel International used to be a wel...
Kagro in the Morning - May 6, 2024
May 06, 2024 18:54 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBToday, David Waldman reminds us that there’s only 364 shopping days until Eastern Orthodox Easter, while Greg Dworkin oars his Raft O’Stories™ down the Mighty KITM onto the shoals of big Monday. Donald Trump calls for the arrests of people who irk him on a daily basis, but he only hints at their assassinations. If you are one of Trump’s VP contenders, which one do you promote? Krisi Noem has clearly chosen her path to victory, while Tim Scott has much more of a wait and see attitude. Ma...
Kagro in the Morning - May 3, 2024
May 03, 2024 17:52 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBMay the Third be with you! You’re always a little ahead of the curve with David Waldman and KITM! Ace KITM Correspondent Rosalyn MacGregor reports on Jordan Epperson, another local right wing nutjob running for office in Ottawa County, not so controversial for his nutjobness, but for being a prettyboy hire, although he did build his nutjob bona fides over time… Whoops, he’s already out. How does Don Von ShitzinPants do it? If anyone knows Donald Trump’s dirty little and big secrets, it’s...
Kagro in the Morning - May 2, 2024
May 02, 2024 18:55 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBMay day, again! On today’s KITM, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin perform many of the rarely heard verses of “I’m Just a Bill”, along with that old dance hit, the “Motion to Recommit”. If the Gop thinks they can shut up Marjorie Taylor Greene, then they might have something there. Twelve departing lawmakers tell us what Congress is really like… well, maybe not like Matt Gaetz could tell you. The trial of Sleepy Don, TFG, TFFG, TFFFG, Baron Von ShitzinPantz… really, if we had to herald all ...
Kagro in the Morning - May 1, 2024
May 01, 2024 17:15 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBHooray! David Waldman and Greg Dworkin have heard our May day calls and are steaming our way with a huge Raft O’ Stories™. Today’s protest generation is probably sincere, probably thoughtful, but are they really being politically savvy? If not, then apparently, the Columbia University Department of Political Science is a worthless sham. How can so many young people, on campuses across the nation, not have their focus honed into a single soundbite? It’s terribly confusing to the older peop...
Kagro in the Morning - April 30, 2024
April 30, 2024 16:27 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s Tuesday, and David Waldman presents the finale of our KITM Holiday MarathonⓊ, with Special Tuesday guest Joan McCarter over in the KITM Book Corner. We continue under the clouds of mass shooting, this time with 8 police shot, 4 dead, and a couple of AR-15s used for their designed intent. Columbia University students are packing into Hind’s (né Hamilton) Hall hungry for knowledge and debate, and posing many questions: Are Zionists anti-Palestinian? Are pro-Palestinians antisemites? A...
Kagro in the Morning - April 29, 2024
April 29, 2024 17:10 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s Monday! David Waldman is back, so is Greg Dworkin, find out why on today’s KITM! Antisemitic agitators storming college campuses clash with bloodthirsty gestapo out to crack some skulls before commencement… or maybe everyone should maybe take a step back, as everyone knows that the only ones who want to play that are the people who want to stay on top. Donald Trump is back in court… or is he? Trump hasn’t yet denied being on trial, but he has definitely tried everything else. Trump ...
Kagro in the Morning - April 26, 2024
April 26, 2024 19:21 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBOn Today’s KITM, David Waldman does what he can to prepare us for whatever it is coming our way. Donald Trump’s hush money/election interference trial resumed Friday in Manhattan Criminal Court, where. uhm, where… Oh my God, he’s going to get away with it all, isn’t he? Yesterday, the Supreme Court posed the question, “If Donald Trump can’t commit federal crimes with complete impunity, then who can?” They pondered the conundrum of whether the President is just too big to jail, too tied...
Kagro in the Morning - April 25, 2024
April 25, 2024 19:20 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBIt’s Thursday, and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back to discuss everything important and newsworthy... except flamethrowing robot dogs. That subject remains woefully under-reported here. Kids nowadays! What’s with all of these anti-war protests at campuses? Quit acting like your grandparents and get a job! Oh, and if you want to appear sensible, don’t demonstrate overt support for either the Viet Cong or Hamas. MintPress might smell fresh, but should probably remain only a garnish ...
Kagro in the Morning - April 24, 2024
April 24, 2024 17:36 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s Wednesday, and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back with the news, views, and wishes for a happy Passover, and National Pigs in a Blanket Day for those of us with absolutely zero dietary restrictions. Fake news! Mint Press isn’t the only one passing around stories too good to be true, more will be on the way.
