Ep. 234: Justice Jackson and the Putin That Is Us

It's another week of mind-dumbing drivel and tragedy, beginning with the Senate Republicans' racist mansplainin' and prop-making of the brilliant new nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court — where, in the near future, this white privileged performance art will not exist any longer. Make no mistake — that hearing wasn't a hearing. It was a dry run for the Republicans' staging of this November's midterms — running their candidates on the Q-anon agenda and honing their election-stealing plans to perfection. Mike also shares his latest thoughts on how the war in Ukraine is "progressing" — and suggests Zelensky should switch the narrative regarding the hapless Russian army and surprise Putin by now conducting a Ukrainian invasion of Russia. It's what a true satirist president would do. And it would make Putin's head spin out of control just long enough for the generals and the oligarchs to stage their coup and end this madness.  ******** Don't wait for the Supreme Court verdict; help protect women's right to choose TODAY.
