First up, I’m back from vacation. Today and tomorrow, I’ll be on radio from 12pm to 7pm. I’ll do my show nationally 12pm to 3pm ET, then focus just on Georgia politics and the wrap up of the Georgia legislative session from 4pm to 7pm, filling in for Mark Arum, the drive time host on WSB Radio. So yeah, six hours of radio with an hour between to eat, etc. Fun times.
Very interesting read based on a brilliant observation. But I cannot say this without repeating what I have said before. The deeply entrenched soft-left liberal establishment Republican Party will continue to flail if they don't accept that Trump gets away with this stuff only because the Trump Phenomenon is the natural result of their decades of failure to keep their promises to their conservative base. Without their failures, there is no Trump.
This is a good read for Trump haters. Note that Chris is far from a MAGA Republican... he leans center-left in many things. https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-donald-trump-problem But he is anti-war which means he is probably despised by the establishment Republican types. Nevertheless, good read.
We all know Trump is a self promoting ass I only wonder why so many people fall for that. We also know most Democrat politicians including the president and vice president never had a job in the private sector and think they know how the economy works yet people keep voting for that .
Love the article and agree. I’m one of those sick of the drama that comes with Trump but I love Desantis! Btw… did you get to the bottom of why WSB your home station didn’t put Victor A on and played a rerun? Very annoying!
There was a story this weekend, about Desantis. And the story was that there was no story. His team works hard and shuts up. That won't last once his team expands for the run, but for now its driving the press mad. Trump's formula has been to demonize & disparage. I'm a guy who hated Clinton (slick willy) and every dem since so I will vote RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR no matter what.
But my question this morning is this. With the show heating up so soon, do you think my waistline can withstand extra butter on my popcorn?
I may not have been paying complete attention, but it seems to me it was days of the "news" talking about a Trump indictment before any word from Trump on this.
Not that I'm a fan of it, but show me a politician who *doesn't* try to fund raise off their name being in the news.
Welcome Back! I read this morning where a Thailand based company purchased a gas fired electric company in the USA .
TodayElectricity Generating Public Company Limited or EGCO Group confirmed the successful completion of its acquisition of a 49% interest in Rhode Island State Energy Center, LP ("RISEC"), a 609MW natural gas fired combined-cycle power plant situated in Johnston, Rhode Island in the United
“The New York Times and others willingly obliged Trump.”
The irony is lost on you Erick. Trump is only successful here because of the mass psychosis of Trump Derangement Syndrome afflicting the professional media chattering class and their coastal elite customers.
Y’all are easy to manipulate that way.
“Y‘all, we all just witnessed an election where 13% of Republicans and a majority of independents all voted for the Democrats because they were tired of the crazy and the 2020 stolen election nonsense.”
Correct me if I am wrong, but you have not even acknowledged the Twitter Files and what it proves relative to Trump supporters protesting Democrat election cheating. The label of “Nonsense” at this point, given what we actually know about government, media and big tech all working to put giant thumbs on the scale of our democracy - corrupting it beyond recognition - to elect Biden over Trump. I am furious about it. I am also furious that the same government withheld video evidence that the protests were 99% peaceful, and that same government put and is putting non-violent protestors in prison and destroying their lives in clear violation of their constitutional rights to protest.
The Jan-6 “insurrection” claim is bunk, non-serious and indicative of low critical thinking. It was an effing protest. The ignoring of the Twitter Files story by anybody in media is suspect of something deeper given the implications to our once great country.
There is no “election denying” there is denying about massive election cheating at the highest levels of power and wealth in this country. You hate Trump so it does not bother you… and THAT is a problem if you call yourself a patriot.

Idol worship will bring an end to the Republic.

"As I have said recently, whining, not winning, is the MAGA 2.0 mission." Beautifully put!
Already so weary of this. As a very reluctant two time Trump voter, I will not vote for him again.

If you look throughout history at leaders who emphasize and demand personal loyalty above all else, the lessons aren’t good ones.
Instead of Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American," the theme song for Trump's rallys should be Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train."
This is getting embarrassing.

So Bob Costello’s testimony to the grand jury last Monday was part of the grift? I’m having a tough time with reconciling that, Erick.
You have become jaded in your thoughts about yourself being so right In everything
