Kagro in the Morning - April 3, 2024
April 03, 2024 17:22 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDavid Waldman celebrates the Wednesday of it all, especially the part where Greg Dworkin returns with his big Raft O’ Stories™... Unfortunately Greg was unable to haul It too far along the KITM Canal without becoming a little winded. It’s another post elections-Tuesday Wednesday. Donald Trump and the Republicans are getting everything they've been asking for, more hatred and fear, and fewer people willing to vote for them. Trump keeps claiming that he won Wisconsin, but he lost it just lik...
Kagro in the Morning - April 2, 2024
April 02, 2024 18:57 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBEvery day does seem like April Fools Day anymore, but you can always rely on David Waldman and Joan McCarter to be your plain dealers. Howdy ho! Broke-ass dotard Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond in his New York State civil trial. It wasn’t Donald’s money, it never is. This time Trump’s sweetheart was car loan tycoon Don Hankey. Mr. Hankey and Trump have a lot in common, so one can only hope that Trump’s loan came in around 800% APR. Why does Trump threaten witnesses, juries, or an...
Kagro in the Morning - April 1, 2024
April 01, 2024 17:11 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBIt’s the first of April and David Waldman reminds us to trust no one today on that wild world web. Greg Dworkin would have warned you also, but remains away on holiday assignment. Who put Easter so close to April Fools Day, anyhow? Republicans demand that President Joe Biden apologize for placing Easter on March 31, The International Transgender Day of Visibility, and for banning religious symbols from Easter Eggs ever since 1976. Stupid-dangerous people have never had the power as they d...
Kagro in the Morning - March 29, 2024
March 29, 2024 18:26 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBIt’s Friday! Good! David Waldman, and we made it through the week. Georgia Gop Karen Handel purged voter rolls, blocked Democratic candidates from running, and clamped down on voter-ID, and yet Gop Brian Pritchard, election denier, managed to illegally vote 9 times right under her Gop nose. Pennsylvania can discard undated mail-in ballots, even when they arrive before deadline, an argument in such bad-faith that only Ronna McDaniel could say it on Meet the Press and get away with it. Sou...
Kagro in the Morning - March 28, 2024
March 28, 2024 17:43 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s Thursday! Maundy Thursday! Today David Waldman reintroduces the word “turpitude” to our colloquial lexicon, and it’s about time, there’s a lot of it going around. Titan of turpitude Trump received another very tardy gag order. When will judges learn? Trump officials are hired primarily to aid in Donald’s turpitude, and thus knowingly endanger their own careers. Assistant attorney general Jeffrey Clark could face disbarment for supporting Trump’s 2020 coup. A California judge has now...
Kagro in the Morning - March 27, 2024
March 27, 2024 18:38 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBIt's Wednesday! David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are still hanging in there, although Greg couldn’t croak through more than a half hour without croaking. Ronna McRomney McDaniel is no longer hanging in there at NBC. NBC hoped to find the journalistic balance between liars and non-liars, but somehow came to the same conclusion as Donald Trump. People who don’t have to work with McDaniel are now irate. The post-Ronna RNC is making certain all new hires will be Big Liars from the start. The D...
Kagro in the Morning - March 26, 2024
March 26, 2024 18:59 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBIt’s Tuesday! David Waldman is back, Joan McCarter is not, and like Greg yesterday, Covid, and of course Donald Trump, is to blame. Get well everybody! (Not you, Donald) Broke-ass dotard Donald Trump doesn’t need my well-wishes. That SOB is the luckiest guy in the world. Have you ever had a fine reduced by 2/3rds? That cut was because Trump is not trustable. Have you ever had a fine reduced because you weren’t trusted? Stock related to Truth Social jumped 35% after Trump’s bond was reduc...
Kagro in the Morning - March 25, 2024
March 25, 2024 18:04 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s Monday! David Waldman is back and sounds recovered from the cold. Greg Dworkin is back and not quite recovered from Covid. Get well Greg! You heard it speculated upon here first: Tammy Tammany Murphy will drop out of her U.S. Senate race. Mike Gallagher couldn’t take MTG MAGA any longer, and takes Gops down to a one point reason for existence. Well, today is the day Don Poorleone’s 50 years of grifting finally comes to an end… Drat! TFFG escapes yet again! Trump’s slime sure makes...
Kagro in the Morning - March 22, 2024
March 22, 2024 19:44 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s yet another Friday spent on the brink of a (partial) government shutdown, now with extra conservative “outrage!” By the time it was all over, there were threats of another motion to vacate the Speaker’s chair, though the situation was — as usual — mostly their own fault. And with Israeli PM Netanyahu possibly addressing Congress soon, it’s as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Speaker of the House needn’t be a Member. Which makes a good enough segue to noting that the US h...
Kagro in the Morning - March 21, 2024
March 21, 2024 17:36 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBThose of you tuning in to hear David Waldman’s bracket picks might be disappointed today, but it is a good bet that Greg Dworkin will always be in KITM’s final four. There’re big bargains in real estate starting this weekend! Sure, Trump National is right around the corner, but Mar-a-Lago could make a pretty nice World Headquarters for someone if the price was right. Of course, TFFG might have a few mortgages on each, and a few different people might already think they own them, so cash mi...
Kagro in the Morning - March 20, 2024
March 20, 2024 18:34 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBBreaking news: Immediately following Greg Dworkin’s exposé on New Jersey’s county-line ballots, the New Jersey Legislature announced a redesign! Yep, it is one of those Wednesdays after one of those Tuesdays. Did Donald Trump lose? Is Trump losing? Is there some small sign somewhere that he might lose? Let us not assume too much from polling at this time, because, well, when we assume… But! Just a few of those sweet, sweet Haley voters and... Remember when Mike Pence’s affirmation was go...
Kagro in the Morning - March 19, 2024
March 19, 2024 18:04 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBDavid Waldman presents today’s Springtime Fresh KITM. When will Peter Navarro go to prison? Is he behind bars or still in the Papa John’s lot? Lock him up! By the way, is he allowed visitors? And what about Stefanie Lambert, and the rest of the gang? Did TFFG actually promise rally goers that they would bathe in blood? Not literally! Mike Pence doesn’t endorse getting spanked, but he does support it. Not... literally? Today we learn that Joan McCarter knows a thing or two about herding...
Kagro in the Morning - March 18, 2024
March 18, 2024 18:33 - 1 hour - 54 MBKITM has proven to be an overwhelming viral success! (For the viruses.) Rhinoviruses and coronaviruses are still no match for our heroes, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, bringing us the latest news from around the world and greater New Jersey. Andy Kim trounces Tammy Murphy at the Atlantic County Democratic convention, triggering a Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop flipflop. Was the county-line ballot system fix in? Meanwhile, broke-ass dotard Donald Trump promises a bloodbath if he is not e...
Kagro in the Morning - March 15, 2024
March 15, 2024 17:42 - 1 hour - 54.4 MBDavid Waldman guides us through the ides. The big story today concerns Israel, which has been the big story over the lifetime of just about anyone reading this. How do Americans who are Jewish separate their religious, cultural, historical and family identities from Israel’s political, military and moral decisions? I don’t know! So, rather than me Presbyteriansplaining it all to you, let me pass on these links: My Grandfather the Zionist, and The Shoah after Gaza. Being in Congress is ab...
Kagro in the Morning - March 14, 2024
March 14, 2024 18:14 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBToday David Waldman brings us the latest Pi news, which as it turns out, is constant. Greg Dworkin remains on assignment, hopefully putting the final touches on his first-hand chronicle of the COVID-19 pandemic, an unfortunately enduring legacy of TFFG. Lauren Boebert does not enjoy being screwed by fellow Colorado Republican Ken Buck one bit. Bad news for Lauren, five other House Republicans might be following Ken shortly. Republicans attempt to screw each other so often, that most tr...
Kagro in the Morning - March 13, 2024
March 13, 2024 17:32 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBWhat’s happening today? Well, David Waldman does not use his fundie baby voice at all in today’s episode, but there is still much to recommend. Also, Greg Dworkin is away on assignment, but his Raft o’ Stories™ did wash up on KITM shores, therefore international maritime laws permit our salvage. The Robert Hur hearing was hard on Republicans. They had hoped that Hur would do a Mueller on Joe Biden, and yet a Mueller requires a Barr... instead, lordy, there were transcripts. Honest Don says...
Kagro in the Morning - March 12, 2024
March 12, 2024 19:03 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBNoted vaudevillian/podcaster David Waldman takes your policy questions and song requests today. Hur der hur! Temporarily underemployed shill Robert Hur doesn’t seem to have the mind or memory for details that he had led us to believe. (The terrorist enclave previously known as “Twitter” keeps distracting me with this latest Gop Democratic PR bonanza.) That’s all just a tiny break from the Donald Trump legal news. You might ask, how will TFFG pay for all of this? Well, God has written Don...
Kagro in the Morning - March 11, 2024
March 11, 2024 19:06 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBIt’s Monday, the day of the week David Waldman invites Greg Dworkin to tell him and us what just happened. A strong union town in California, Hollywood, honored many of its hired hands last night in a big gala event. Host Jimmy Kimmel won the approval of everyone, with the exception of a washed-up disgruntled former employee. Probably not destined for an acting career was Senator Katie Britt, whose SOTU response was the stuff of legends. Not just her performance, her kitchen set, and ...
Kagro in the Morning - March 8, 2024
March 08, 2024 18:52 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDavid Waldman missed President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech live last night. That’s ok, somebody probably recorded it, and he can watch their copy. David missed Joe giving them hell. This might have been Biden’s long-awaited pivot point! It is definitely his Republican talking point’s pivot from “Sleepy!” to “He’s so mean to us!”, which is a good thing. Now the talk can move from vibes, to issues, from rhetoric to solutions, for you know, “kitchen table issues”… Which brings us...
Kagro in the Morning - March 7, 2024
March 07, 2024 19:54 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBAgainst all odds, David Waldman made it to airtime at KITM World Headquarters this morning. We were all rooting for him. No worries, Greg Dworkin had the opening monologue down and was waiting in the wings. The state of Joe Biden is strong, and making that clear to America is just one of the president’s goals in tonight’s SOTU. The challenge is making those points to 21st century voters from a 19th century venue when his audience has the memory of goldfish. Republicans are supplying last...
Kagro in the Morning - March 6, 2024
March 06, 2024 18:51 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBIt’s… Wednesday. That’s the day David Waldman and Greg Dworkin usually reserve for discussing Tuesdays, and even “super” ones aren’t able to escape their scrutiny. Donald Trump won again. So did Joe Biden, soundly beating Barack Obama. Joe was no match however for Jason Palmer, who came from behind to… stay behind. Trump no longer has Nikkki Haley to kick around anymore... Who are we kidding? Donald Trump has just begun to kick around Nikkki Haley. Hey, but what about Haley’s supporters? W...
Kagro in the Morning - March 5, 2024
March 05, 2024 20:42 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s supposed to be some big important day today, special at least as Tuesdays go, kind of like the “Superbowl of Tuesdays”... It doesn’t feel too special though. It feels like a day to get out of the way so that we can get serious, pay attention, and move forward. So, let’s. For a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court decision on TFFG ballot disqualification sure did not seem so harmonious. Liberal judges’ concurrence now seems more like forced acquiescence. David Waldman joins control-F ...
Kagro in the Morning - March 4, 2024
March 04, 2024 21:39 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBMarch fourth! David Waldman leads us into a new, hopefully better, month. Yep, the polls aren’t “great”. Greg Dworkin reminds us that it is still primary season, sort of, and there is good news if you look hard enough, and the felonious dotard still has it worse, and you know more than those people anyhow. You knew that the courts wouldn’t save us from Donald Trump, and the Trump Supreme Court confirmed that, 9-0. Again, if you look at it hard enough, there’s some nuance. Allen Weissel...
Kagro in the Morning - March 1, 2024
March 01, 2024 17:41 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDavid Waldman ends the week, begins the month, concludes business and gets this party started. The Senate passed a spending bill, pushing the shutdown down one week. After all, when Joan McCarter comes to KITM each week, it only makes sense. The Boebert crime family is perhaps outscoring the Palin crime family… the math part would be tough on either set... but Tyler Boebert might soon have MVP locked up in felony convictions. Tyler’s stealing from a woman saving up for brain tumor surge...
Kagro in the Morning - February 29, 2024
February 29, 2024 20:04 - 1 hour - 54 MBHappy Bissextile Day! Wave your Bissextile Day flags! Had David Waldman just ran KITM a little overtime for perhaps fewer than only 9 minutes each day we wouldn’t have had to do today’s show, yet here we are. And a good thing, too, we need a whole new show, with Greg Dworkin and Armando on hand just to describe and dissect the Supreme Court’s worst dick move since... well, it probably is their worst dick move ever. “Hey, what about Donald Trump’s other immunity claim?”, you might ask, an...
Kagro in the Morning - February 28, 2024
February 28, 2024 19:03 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin’s Wednesday Raft O’ Stories™ must have had some kind of boiler explosion. Bits of news are raining down everywhere: A chemistry teacher in New Mexico passed out swords to students (who no doubt still pronounce the “w” in swords) and had them fight. Probably for the first time in her class, lessons were learned. Donald Trump coughed up almost $400 thousand to the New York Times. Donald is too just rich/poor, and that cough isn’t getting better. For most a...
Kagro in the Morning - February 27, 2024
February 27, 2024 19:22 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBIt’s Tuesday and David Waldman has some stuff to lay on us, KITM-wise. Don Jr. received death threats and a suspicious powder in the mail, but who would guess they’d both be in the same envelope? Elon Musk hasn’t killed many, at least as evil billionaires go, but it’s still pretty early. Hyperloop tunnel chemical sludge, for instance, might take years to make a real impact actuarially. Sure, Clarence Thomas’ shameless avarice and evident corruption is hilarious, but isn’t it also ille...
Kagro in the Morning - February 26, 2024
February 26, 2024 19:15 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBUnfortunately, there is plenty for David Waldman and Greg Dworkin to talk about today, Fortunately, we get to hear them say it. Today, if you find you’re still having difficulty deciding on whether your trolley would be best routed over 10,000 frozen zygotes or a baby, you just might be a Republican trying to figure out how to hold onto your job, because of course, no actual normal human would have this quandary. No normal people attend CPAC. Nex Benedict’s death following Libs of TikTok...
Kagro in the Morning - February 23, 2024
February 23, 2024 18:14 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBIn a flash, David Waldman appears, vanishing again two hours later. Where does David come from? Where does he go? Some say… the living room couch. Nevertheless, with each visit Mr. Waldman will present to us a mysterious, yet valuable gift… let’s open it, shall we? James Comer and Jim Jordan may seem like idiots now, and they are, but they are smart enough to know that Democrats will let them and Russia Russia Russia get away with it yet again, because as they and Putin are well aware, mos...
Kagro in the Morning - February 22, 2024
February 22, 2024 19:28 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBIt’s Thursday and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back, with not just one, but two topics for today! James Comer and Jim Jordan are having a tough time impeaching Joe Biden, as the President committed no impeachable offenses, convincing anyone that he did would require someone to lie convincingly, and James and Jim remain quite the dunces. Somehow those two seem positively perspicacious compared to TV’s Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. Certainly, they are all Putin’s useful idiots, but ...
Kagro in the Morning - February 21, 2024
February 21, 2024 21:05 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBHope you like the nitty-gritty. Today on KITM, David Waldman welcomes Greg Dworkin and Armando to really dig into it: Boom goes Burisma! Joe’s brother James Biden arrived in Washington today to laugh in Gop faces as their most corroborating star witness Alexander Yakov Smirnov was indicted by the DOJ and described by the FBI as a serial liar, and has been revealed to have had extensive contact with Russian, Russian, Russian agents. Republicans assure us that outside of all the evidence tha...
Kagro in the Morning - February 20, 2024
February 20, 2024 19:24 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBDavid Waldman marks the 20th day since, well, since February started, on today’s special KITM. Here we are, counting down the days until another government shutdown. Would Republicans know one was coming if we didn’t keep track? Would anyone notice if they just shut down the Republican half? The Republican National Committee is following in the clown shoes of the Michigan Republican Party, except even Trumpier. In fact, the goal is to make it 100% Trump. We are all victims of Trump’s f...
Kagro in the Morning - February 19, 2024
February 19, 2024 20:31 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBThere goes the neighborhood! Explosions get ever closer to KITM World Headquarters, yet David Waldman is undeterred, debuting Kagro’s Poetry Korner on KITM. Today’s KPK recounts Solomon Grundy and Baseball's Sad Lexicon, the latter in wistful homage to Wisconsin Democratic Govenor Tony Evers’ decision to sign new legislative maps, ending years of Gop gerrymandering, assisted by the Gop legislature who wanted to avoid Democratic gerrymandering... which is certainly one way to achieve fair ele...
Kagro in the Morning - February 16, 2024
February 16, 2024 19:06 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBFor the price of a cup of coffee… or just send him coffee, and David Waldman will deliver an endless (2 hours) supply of entertainment and information. In Putin’s Russia, you don’t assassinate president, president assassinate you! Unfortunately for Alexei Navalny, he never qualified for the 5th floor window express favored by many high-ranking Russian officials and oligarchs. Alexi’s passing steals Tucker Carlson’s opportunity to interview Navalny to make certain that he got both sides of...
Kagro in the Morning - February 15, 2024
February 15, 2024 19:29 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBIt’s Thursday and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are here asking questions that you didn’t know you had, with answers that you didn’t know you needed. But now you do! We remain under a cloud of mass shootings. The Kansas City Super Bowl Parade shooting took place on the 6th anniversary of the Parkland shooting. And it took place on the 16th anniversary of the Northern Illinois University shooting. And 2 days ago, was the anniversary of the Michigan State shooting. And next Monday will be 1...
Kagro in the Morning - February 14, 2024
February 14, 2024 19:31 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day! If you thought those holidays would keep David Waldman and Greg Dworkin from the KITM microphone you’d be mistaken. Anyhow, Soros has body doubles stored for just such an emergency. Well, wasn’t that special? Tom Suozzi flips George Santos' district back to blue. The polls were wrong again, but in the right direction, therefore pollsters may be lauded for their wisdom, and so may Democrats, which is even better. The only things certain for Donald ...
Kagro in the Morning - February 13, 2024
February 13, 2024 19:32 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDavid Waldman presents a special Mardi Gras KITM! Find the fève, win a prize! Jesus Christ! Super Bowl! Hobby Lobby’s MAGA million mind control! Robert Hur went Comey on Joe Biden last week and the staff over at the NYT haven’t stopped drooling since. Hur is now a MAGA hero, and MAGA is Hur’s cash cow. Facts, conjecture, lies, they’re all cash in Bob’s pocket and blood in the water for “journalists”. Donald Trump is so happy that last week went so well, he’ll hardly notice the $83.3 ...
Kagro in the Morning - February 12, 2024
February 12, 2024 19:17 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBIt was a big weekend! There was a big football game (and a cultural history of the league), which Joe Biden somehow won, plus just a hint at the collapse of the post-war global order! And I mean, like, the whole thing. That was a lot for Greg Dworkin to round up, but it wasn’t all about the weekend. There’s a very special special election coming too, for the seat briefly occupied by George Santos. Or whatever his name was. There was, of course, more fallout over the Hur report. Or what...
Kagro in the Morning - February 9, 2024
February 09, 2024 18:42 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBDavid Waldman fortifies us for our weekend with an extra dose of vitamin KITM: Yesterday was a good day for Donald Trump, and if it was a good day for anyone else, that would be purely unintentional. TV cameras on SCOTUS would’ve revealed the Justices rolling up their Candy Crush scores as lawyers for whomever said whatever. After consideration and debate they will, of course, rule for state’s rights, or not, whatever. Last year Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled against distribution of the abo...
Kagro in the Morning - February 8, 2024
February 08, 2024 20:22 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBIt’s all falling apart for Republicans. They might even be in disarray! But since their voters don’t appear to want anything done, we’re not sure yet whether they’ll get away with it. They may fare worse among Republican Senators than they do with the voters. Those guys just seem to want chaos, and always have, just like Greg Dworkin says. To no one’s surprise, the bluff was called and the “border bill” tanked. There’s just not much about the immigration situation that stands up to scrutin...
Kagro in the Morning - February 7, 2024
February 07, 2024 18:33 - 1 hour - 54 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin haul in Wednesday’s raft o’stories almost overladen with wacky. First, the thing driving Republicans crazy this morning and for the foreseeable future, besides Taylor Swift, is that gnawing realization that they might not be the smartest people... or even the “smart” people in the room. On Donald Trump’s orders, Gops shot themselves in the foot on immigration, making their one strength their biggest weakness. Their Mayorkas impeachment vote was hilarious. M...
Kagro in the Morning - February 6, 2024
February 06, 2024 18:50 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s Tuesday, so it’s David Waldman and Joan McCarter put a good half hour into figuring out Republican strategy this year, which is about double what the Gops have done, and they regret even doing that much. Their problem is that they got what they demanded, so now they have no choice but to reject it. Mitch McConnell killed the bipartisan border bill 3 hours after supporting it. Mike Johnson backstabbed the Senate so he could kill it. Dick Durbin cannot do wrong, so Dems cannot do right....
Kagro in the Morning - February 5, 2024
February 05, 2024 19:13 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBYes, for maybe a decade now we at KITM have been kind of obsessed. Our entire focus is, it would seem, one name, over and over. You’d think that name was the only one we know... but not today. Last night, Tracy Chapman made the ‘80’s great again. And Céline Dion. And, OK, we should mention Taylor Swift once more. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin try to make it feel like a normal Monday. Oh, and another guy we talk about, Donald Trump, is ahead in the polls… But what does that really mea...
Kagro in the Morning - February 2, 2024
February 02, 2024 18:42 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBOkay, campers, rise and shine — and don't forget your booties 'cause it's coooooold out there today! Wait, it’s not so bad this year… Maybe that’s a symbol we’re turning a corner, a new Spring of understanding, empathy, a blossoming of… Or, global warming. Either way, you know David Waldman and KITM will always return. When the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, staff tried the “That locked door behind the dresser? Oh, that’s nothing.” gambit, and it worked. That was some Obi Wan move by Trump valet...
Kagro in the Morning - February 1, 2024
February 01, 2024 19:44 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBDavid Waldman and Greg Dworkin start the month off right, or more or less “left”, which is a pretty good place to start. Our top news story for today: Taylor Swift, or as I call her, “Tay-Tay”, because of her Japan-Nevada Superbowl body double... It is tough coming up with better/worse conspiracies than the ones MAGA have. Those folks would be pretty hilarious if some of them weren’t killing people. Not only with beheadings either, but drownings have been becoming popular recently. As lo...
Kagro in the Morning - January 31, 2024
January 31, 2024 18:22 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBIt’s Wednesday! Not a post-primary Wednesday, but aren’t they all post-primary Wednesdays from now on? Not if Greg Dworkin has anything to say about it, and he has a lot to say about it to David Waldman on today’s KITM. First — MAGA goes full incel by Taylor Swift-boating the Superbowl, the Music Industry, Americana, love and all that is good in the world. Many great men, tears in their eyes, reassured Donald that he’s at least twice as F’-able as Taylor. But I digress. B...
Kagro in the Morning - January 30, 2024
January 30, 2024 18:14 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBI know we don’t really care about Lauren Boebert very much, but it’s funny that she moved from the 3rd district to the 4th district, and came in 5th. And this despite having some other, equally f*@k3d-up Republicans as her opponents. On the 14th Amendment front, former MT Gov. and RNC Chair Marc Racicot argues for disqualification. Meanwhile, the guy who would be disqualified is outraged that the court trying him for fraud was worried that he might still be committing fraud, and was of cou...
Kagro in the Morning - January 29, 2024
January 29, 2024 19:16 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBWell, apparently there was no news this weekend other than Taylor Swift and the football guy. But Greg Dworkin was convinced that other things happened. Oh, here’s some news: Trump is terrible. I mean, just the worst. Only slightly worse than his supporters, of course. Speaking of those terrible people, they are — with no sense of irony — headed to the border in their own caravan of chaos. Meanwhile in Washington, Gop officialdom won’t take yes for an answer. Of course, if the courts say...
Kagro in the Morning - January 26, 2024
January 26, 2024 19:01 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBToday, David Waldman reveals one weird trick that will shock you, or he will read and comment on the news. Find out which on this Friday KITM! California Assembly Bill 83 is titled “Political Reform Act of 1974: contributions and expenditures by foreign-influenced business entities”, but might be better known as the “Money Out, Voters In!” bill, designed to defend democracy by closing the Citizens United loophole allowing foreign money to flood elections.
