Kagro in the Morning - August 28, 2023

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin back on Monday’s KITM, ready to lead us into another week of adventure and merriment. 

You know where I don’t want to go anymore? That crap social media site, what’s it called… you know what I’m talking about. That place is useless, you know. Here, let me show you: 

The Republican debate shook up the primary race for distant second place. Here’s the latest polling… (And, here’s that same post on A GOOD SITE, Threads. Which has a desktop version now, FYI) None of the Republican candidates want to beat TFFG anyhow, they’ll tell you that. They’re all just as bad as Trump. They just want to prove that to the American people. Ron DeSantis convinces more people each day. For instance, this lady is a convert. (Oh, and here is that post in Threads.) If you don’t know who Florida state Rep Angie Nixon is, you do now. (And by now you know that post is on Threads, too.) Here’s another side eye for Desantis. (And here is that same post… wait, it’s not there. I’ll be damned.)

Why are people still on “that” site? Because that’s where the fighting is, and people like fighting. Journalists will always point their cameras at the fight in front of them, even as the takeover happens right behind them.

Meanwhile, somehow, justice marches on. Donald Trump and his co-villains are back in court to fight for different venues and times… and losing. The Hatch Act bars Mark Meadows’ removal bid.

What do you, our listeners, suggest that we talk about? Well David did just that in the last half of the show.  Hillsdale College in Michigan offers Christian theocracy in a box, for K-12 back-to-school grooming needs. FEMA conspiracy misinformation goes wherever FEMA is most desperately needed, this time to Maui, next... Florida? And, it’s no secret that some of the Secret Service are bromatically attached to Oath Keepers.
