The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal
Driftglass and Blue Gal
"Fiercely and unapologetically progressive, and definitely NSFW. 'The Professional Left' features award-winning bloggers Driftglass and Blue Gal as they skewer right-wing absurdities and dismantle mainstream media mealy-mouths with razor-sharp wit and zero filter. From mercilessly mocking partisan hacks to elevating stories the media ignores, it's the profane, unflinching political commentary you didn't know you needed. More at http://ProLeftPod.com."

Ep 653: Bull S--t Durham
We discuss the Durham fiasco, a Republican governor (not Death Santis), and why America's most prominent privileged White, gay, Catholic, Tory, Conservative, Libertarian phrenologist is whining about "trans athletes." Also, mass shootings are already political as they rely on Republican "guns and moar gunz" policies to exist.

Ep 652: Uvalde, My Heart
The tragedy in Uvalde, Texas was the result of Republican political priorities and policies. That's what makes it political. That it was not shocking (not anymore) is what led to public rage rather than mere sadness.

Ep 648: Marshall Law and Student Loans
A long one this week as there was very much media fail. And we were almost done with recording when we went off on a tangent about what is REALLY unfair about the student loan situation. Warning: the topic of "Mean Jean Schmidt and abortion" comes up and Blue Gal swears a LOT.

DG and BG rail against those arguing that the Democratic Party should move to "the center." What center!?

Ep 645: The Patient Capital of Fascism
The passing of the great Eric Boehlert reminds us that there’s no institutional support for liberal truth. Single shingle truth-tellers asking for subscription five-dollar bills is the liberal business model, while Peter Thiel and Rebekah Mercer spend millions on Right-Wing Structure. That said, Fox viewers paid to watch CNN **and take notes** change their minds a bit.
