The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal
Driftglass and Blue Gal

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 491: The Illegitimate So-Called President and Precedent
Mainstream media's obsession with "precedent" collides with Republicans persistent denial of their own history. Nixon? Never happened! George W. Bush? Never happened! And once Trump is gone, there will be a COLLUSION between the Republican power base and the beltway media to pretend it's all over and we can go back to "normalcy" and a "two-party" both sides system. We cannot.

Ep 490: Mueller Grabs the Narrative
In spite of his administration’s efforts to front-load the narrative, the release of the Mueller Report has taken away the ability of Trump (and Barr) to tell the story of the Russia investigation. Narratives matter in Democratic politics and policy as well. More at ProLeftPod.com.Show Links:The G.O.P.

Ep 489: Republicans Try to Re-Write History Again
History will not judge Donald Trump, we will. It will require fighting the Trump-off machine that will inevitably be turned on by the frequently re-branding Republican Party, helped by the beltway media.
