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 474 ITMFA and a BOLO
A Congresswoman shows her anger, and what it's about. We talk liberal anger versus conservative anger, and why the beltway press is totally comfortable with one of them. David Brooks blames "partisanship" and Chris Hayes makes a resolution we will help him stick to. More at ProLeftPod.com, and Be On The Look Out for Both Siderism. #BothSidesDont.

Ep 472 All Hail President Limbaugh
“Trump Resign” is trending. Mattis Resigned, there’s zero function at Trump’s White House. The Magnitsky act is everything -- the sanctions are everything.

Ep 471: The Smocking Gun!
We didn’t know that Mick Mulvaney would be named Chief of Staff when we recorded this podcast Friday afternoon, but Driftglass’s description that any Trump COS will be “Newt Gingrich but not as smart” proved accurate no matter what. So many of Trump’s very best people are pleading guilty and going to jail. Driftglass eulogizes (not really) The Weekly Standard, and notes his “I told you so” moment. Steve King didn’t know Google doesn’t make iPhones. A Chicago alderman gets RE raided by the FBI.

Ep 470: Dang You Friday News Dump!
Recorded BEFORE we had any news from Mueller, dang it. Citizens United allows wealthy mob bosses to run Republican governments. Driftglass offers the definition of “access journalism,” and is the internet maturing, or showing signs of exhaustion, by enforcing Community Standards against right wing nut jobs and racists?

Ep 469 -- Stupid Watergate Becomes Stupid Godfather
The Cohen bombshell is something everyone should have seen coming since the Republican Convention of 2016. Climate Change is real but doesn’t have to be paralyzing. And kids are the future when they stand up to racism at school.

Ep 468: Put the Ladder Down, but Burn the Lifeboats
Happy Thanksgiving weekend! We talk about helping smaller podcasters (and recommend that bigger podcasters than us do the same). Also, burn the lifeboats for never-Trumpers profiting from being wrong, and those who want a free pass from supporting Trump (it's happening).
