Weekly Skews 2/14/23 – Off the Rails

Skewers, tonight we dive into the big Trump Hush Money trial which kicked off in NY just yesterday, and y’all will never believe this but so much stupid stuff has already happened. Also: SCOTUS, the right to protest, and WWIII (among many other subjects). Join us. Support the show

Tonight we talk about the new abortion ban just approved by Arizona’s Supreme Court…and by “new” we mean “from the Civil War Era”. The draconian law allows no exceptions for rape or incest and is, generally speaking, really bad and dumb. Also: how the media is helping Trump appear to be more moderate than he is, and much much more. Join us. Support the show

On tonight’s episode we discuss, among many other hilariously stupid things, the right’s wholly manufactured panic about a supposed War on Easter being launched by the Biden Administration. Why? Well, a couple of different years-old policies pre-dating and having less than nothing to do with the Biden Administration, of course. Join us. Support the show

Description: On tonight's show we talk the recent chaos in the House with special guest, Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA)! Also, how Joe Biden used the power of diversity and immigration to destroy that bridge in Baltimore (according to idiots). Join us.Support the show

Skewers, tonight we discuss the GOP primary happening in Ohio and the dumbness unfolding therein, with some experts saying that Ohio has become “the Hindenburg of democracy”. So that’s reassuring. Also, Producer Matt’s governor Kristi Noem is doing Texas teeth ads and Paul Manafort is back in the game baby. Join us.Support the show

Skewers tonight we talk about the designs of a brand spankin’ new group of far right Christian lunatic men, the many lies of former special counsel Robert Hur, the potential impact of RFK Jr, and finally perhaps the most unhinged State of the Union response in living memory, from Alabama Senator Katie Britt. Join us. Support the show

Skewers this week we are thrilled to welcome Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman, the authors of the much debated new book about the threat to democracy percolating in our homeland: “White Rural Rage”! Gonna be a good un!Support the show

In a truly shocking turn of events, the star witness in the GOP’s big Hunter Biden investigation has turned out to be a Russian agent. Who could have foreseen that circus taking an even dumber turn, we ask you. Also, the Alabama assault on IVF has Republicans reeling. All that and more on tonight’s Skews.  Support the show

Skewers, tonight we discuss the bombshell news that Russia is (apparently) developing a space nuke, which is like a nuke, but more future-y. And the silly freak out about it. We talk about it, along with the latest news from the frontlines of the abortion debate (Alabama, natch), Trump’s pumped up kicks, and some serious dumbassery from Trae’s beloved Tennessee. Join us.Support the show

Tonight: sure, Donald Trump may be an aging megalomaniac who openly threatens to unravel democracy and throw our allies to the Russian wolves, but have you considered that Joe Biden is, like, super old? That discussion plus more, so join us. Support the show
