SCOTUS Screwed Us with Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-5-24

     Well, they sure took their sweet time to stick a dagger in the heart of democracy and now the Supreme Extreme Court is dragging its feet before it strikes the death blow. Rather than immediately putting us out of (or increasing our) misery quickly (like they did in Bush v Gore 2000), they're draaagggging it out another six long weeks. Yes, the court will hear TFG's bullshit case where he's claiming "absolute immunity" for his actions related to the January 6 insurrection that he led! It took the court three weeks just to say they would hear [...]

It’s F$&cking Monday So Get Your F#^cking News on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-4-24

     Making Mondays suck a little less... Mondays come every week, inconveniently at the end of a weekend. It's difficult to make that transition from down time to work time, especially when the work involves the (usually depressing) news. Today is no different! It began with the Supreme/Extreme Court deciding unanimously that TFG will be on the primary ballots, saying that regardless of whether or not Section 3 of the 14th Amendment applies, it's up to Congress to make that call, not the individual states. So, D'ump will be on the Colorado ballot tomorrow and in the other [...]

It’s Emptywheel Friday on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-1-24

   Friday was always my favorite day of the week, and now even more so since we started spending Friday's shows with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. Having a tough time keeping all of the Trump trials straight? Somehow, Marcy stays on top of it all. Each week she answers whatever questions I throw at her, and she does it without consulting notes or quick searches. She just covers it all and somehow is able to speak off the cuff about it. Today, we'll talk about the Supreme Court's decision to take up TFG's immunity defense, Hunter Biden's closed door [...]

No Immunity For TFG and a Tues Visit from Emptywheel- Nicole Sandler Show 2-6-24

   Because of big breaking news this morning, Marcy 'Emptywheel' Wheeler makes a special Tuesday appearance on the show to talk about the decision by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals on TFG's claims of 'absolute presidential immunity.' As we knew, there is no such thing, and the bipartisan three-judge panel ruled so unanimously, releasing their decision this morning. Since I'm on vacation for a week after tomorrow, Marcy Wheeler jumped on the Zoom with me this morning to discuss what it all means. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3GmSYezNpY

7-20-23 Nicole Sandler Show- Thursdays with Howie Klein

  View on Zencastr       Howie Klein is here today, as he is every Thursday. Last week we spent our entire time together talking music, so today I promise at least some news and politics. After all, where else can you get talk about RFK Jr's descent into another world and Marge Traitor Greene showing dic pics in an official House hearing? Oh there's more, and we'll get to a lot of it.   I played two songs today. First up was The Marsh Family out of the UK who took on WOKE in an original song. https://youtu.be/e0FFZ8_nbdI?si=UOzwK2S_aN3Dd7nF [...]

7-5-23 Nicole Sandler Show – It’s Another Emptywheel Wednesday with Marcy Wheeler

  View on Zencastr   It's difficult to come back from a four-day weekend. That's compounded when you do a news-based show but took the weekend off from all news-related information. Seriously, that's what I did, and it felt great. But I got to work last night catching up on all the things I wanted to ask Marcy Wheeler about today. Marcy's living in Ireland now, so due to the time difference, we record her appearances in the morning my time. Today's recording sounds great, but the video got corrupted (damn gremlins). So today's a day for listening... and there's [...]

6-26-23 Nicole Sandler Show – It’s Monday, Ugh

View on Zencastr         Welcome to a new week. I am back today, with lots to talk about. SCOTUS term has 10 cases left to decide, I'll run 'em down. Probably talk a bit about the travesty that is Bobby Kennedy Jr. and anti-vaxxers and science deniers. And more. Phone lines are open too. Should be interesting as all the Bill Maher sycophants are swarming my Twitter after criticizing him for the un-funny shill he's become. So, today is almost anything goes. We'll see where the hour takes us... I promised you some links to the articles [...]
