Every Friday I get to hang out with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net, discussing much of what happened during the week. Of course, this was the week we saw the brilliance of VP Kamala Harris as she destroyed TFG in what just might be their only debate of this race. But it gave us "they're eating the dogs" and other priceless gems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHNbpvdNcHk
Talk about a complete 180. Donald Trump was decimated in last night's debate with VP Kamala Harris. Today, I'll share some of the highs and the lows of what might be the only the time these two debate ahead of the 2024 presidential elections... We call it 100% for Harris (Trump is toast!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIeiPTpmyBs
As we prepare for tonight's debate between the Vice President and the former guy, we'll chat with Dan Partland. Dan returns to the show four years after his first appearance here. The occasion is the release of the latest film he directed, UNTRUTH: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TRUMPISM. The first time he was here, the film UNFIT: The Psychology of Donald Trump had just been released. A lot has happened since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myrvcVj2oCg DAN PARTLAND was also on the show in 2020 when the film UNFIT: The Psychology of Donald J Trump was released. Here's that show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=780n55BFzHQ
Mondays are difficult by definition, soo we get our news with a bit of snark with Jonathan Larsen who delivers the news to us every morning from thefuckingnews.substack.com and discusses it with us Monday afternoons on the show. Today... about those Kamala Harris endorsements from Liz & Dick Cheney! And what about the rest of the Republicans??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLwO8RHkUXw
Tomorrow is the day we set aside to celebrate America's independence from the monarchy. Thanks to the Extreme Court's ruling announced yesterday, it might be our last one. I could think of no better guest for this wake than my old friend - comedian, actor, broadcaster John Fugelsang. It's been too long since we've spoken. But I've always marveled at his inherent ability to make us laugh in the face of things the are simply not funny. He's got a high bar to clear today, but I have no doubt that he will. Reminder, I'll be here [...]
It's time for our weekly get-together info download with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. And it's another week ending with out disbelief over what's happening in our corner of the world.... After last night's debate and this morning's group of SCOTUS rulings, I can't help but envy Marcy's living in Ireland. Today, we try to make sense of all that happened this week. Again, buckle in. It's a rough road ahead. As promised, the link to read and subscribe to Heather Cox Richardson's substack is heathercoxrichardson.substack.com.

What a day! The Extreme Supremes this morning handed down four more decisions out of the dozen or so still tba... and then signaled that they will not get it all done by the official end of the term tomorrow. There will be at least one more decision day in July. We'll know more about that tomorrow. Lisa Graves, the unofficial legal expert of the Nicole Sandler Show, returns for the first half of the show today to talk SCOTUS, which we somehow didn't get to yesterday. We'll discuss both the two and sneak peek at a [...]
With the Extreme Court allegedly poised to hand down the final decisions for this term over the next two days, we're joined again by the Nicole Sandler Show's unofficial legal expert Lisa Graves. I had hoped that this morning's announcements would include more than the two they trickled out... and in a sense it did. Apparently accidentally, someone posted a draft of one of the still outstanding decisions-- this one in Idaho vs US. They quickly took it down, but not before Bloomberg News got it, converted it to pdf form and posted it online... Julian Assange is a [...]
View on Zencastr Big news... tonight is the first primary debate of the 2024 presidential season. There's also that Russian plane crash (the murder of Putin's #1 foe!) and Donny Jr and his sidekick being banned from the Fox Noise spin room... but we'll save those stories and the others bubbling under for the actual show. Our guest today is journalist Brian Karem. Yes, he is an actual journalist (we must point these things out nowadays), one of a seemingly dying breed. We'll talk about that too. Check out his podcast, Just Ask the Question and read his [...]
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) That old adage keeps rearing its ugly head. I know there are lots of adages that could apply here, but in this case, it's a fairly new and sickeningly blatant tact that some in the Democratic Party are using against fellow Democrats, and it really sucks. And although it does apply in this situation, that aspect wasn't really covered by the story we will talk about with Ryan Grim at the start of the show. This story focuses on the actions [...]
