#627 Redirect his plane to The Hague instead of the US.
TODAY: We’re talking about a brutal shooting that happened in our neighborhood, where an “off-duty security guard” shot a 17 year-old who was returning an airsoft gun to a sporting goods store. We discuss how news media’s and the judicial system’s permissive relationship with police violence and vigilante violence has essentially deputized every gun owner in America to act insane. PLUS: We use our liberal backgrounds to explore Democrats’ relationship with its increasingly illiberal leadership, first through the ACLU’s lawsuit against the Biden administration’s Trumpian border policy and then through Democratic leadership inviting Benjamin Netanyahu to speak at congress. Is it worth allowing an elderly racist to close the border and empower Netanyahu to keep Trump out of power? According to the comments on NPR: No!

#625 Biden smiles sickly at my conviction
TODAY we go over the bombshell news of Trump’s conviction and share some of our favorite responses. From Facebook, to twitter, to Trump himself, the derangement reaches a fever pitch as pundits call for civil war, voters convince themselves that the felony convictions will help Trump, and liberals talk about how gangsta New York is for prosecuting the former president. And to top it all off… Biden thinks this is FUNNY Sinnerman-Nina SImone Sign up at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult for $5/month and get 2 bonus episodes a week

But when the girls realize the FBI's plan, they refuse to go.

#622 No, my tears taste like intelligence. Something you are missing. (preview)
TODAY: Mark Wahlberg and Clint Eastwood decide to form their own NON-WOKE Hollywood… according to viral misinformation campaigns on Facebook. A local news channel covers this trend of putting “satirical” red meat in front of right-wing audiences to get clicks, and conservatives attack the news outlet for shaming “free-thinkers.” PLUS: NFL kicker Harrison Butler gives an Andrew Tate-style commencement speech about how society is making men gay and how most of the graduating women are “probably” fantasizing about being housewives and mothers. (100% fact-checked by Patriots) FINALLY: Racists freak out about a (historically accurate) black samurai in the new Assassin’s Creed video game. Is this the historical realism we’ve come to expect from a game about teleporting into your ancestor’s brains to get a magical staff from Pythagoras??

#621 He was murdered but it was NOT about race
TODAY we’re talking about the killing of Robert Fortson, a Black US Airman, inside his own home while armed with a legal handgun. We watch the right’s unified front against BLM splinter as body cam footage shows Mr. Fortson pointing the gun down when he is shot. ALSO: Two Biden staffers resign amid his support for Israel’s war on Gaza, and we go to the Washington Post comment section to see what the world’s smuggest liberals have to say about it. FINALLY: It’s the incredible story of a Zionist college crusader who was forced into the pungent embrace of cheese addiction by campus Palestine groups. Oh, Brie-have!

#620 The Sixpence None The Richer you grew up with no longer exists.(preview)
TODAY: Alex encounters two separate MDC style coworkers in his UPS facebook groups using dead coworkers to promote their awful, reactionary politics. Let’s see how this one plays out PLUS: Terrace K Williams has $25k stolen from him (?) but won’t stoop to naming the guy who did it (??). We investigate. FINALLY: We look at the objects of two bizarre instances of nostalgic fascism: Sixpence None The Richer’s “Kiss Me,” and Alien Ant Farm’s cover of “Smooth Criminal.” Strong Men (Dawson) create good times (Dawson’s Creek).
