Trillbilly Worker's Party

Don't put it in your pocket

Writer Devin O'Shea joins us to talk about the recent tornado that hit St. Louis: how it has revealed the socio-economic past, present, and future, and what we can expect in a world where climate change will continue to disrupt the social landscape Read Devin's article here: https://www.thenation.com/article/economy/st-louis-tornado-delmar-divide-recovery/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/trillbillyworkersparty

This week we start off with a few stories from Trumpworld: the new budget, allegations of white genocide, importing of white Afrikaaners and deporting of Danish people. Then we switch over to a few stories from Demworld: Gerry Connolly's death, an article in Politico about how the Dems are stuck in the black lodge, and an article in the New York Times about the search for the liberal Joe Rogan. Finally, we discuss the shooting of two employees of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC last night. Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/trillbillyworkersparty

The discussion kicks off with a whimsical take on new music, leading to hilarious musings about grooming and nostalgic fast-food quirks. They humorously navigate celebrity controversies and political absurdities, exploring the complexities of colonial legacies. There's playful banter on raising libertarian kids amidst political gaffes, alongside a light approach to unconventional fitness. The conversation wraps up with absurd anecdotes about men's underwear and the quest for a meaningful legacy, offering reflections on identity wrapped in humor.

This week features a wild discussion about JD Vance's brother's comedic run for mayor of Cincinnati. There’s a humorous critique of the quirky Christian coffee shop scene, weaving in thoughts on political disconnect during campaigns. The crew takes a sharp look at Trump and military absurdities, all while contemplating the chilling implications of AI and the global economy. They also dive into Elon Musk's ambitious plans for a Texas company town, blending humor with a keen eye on the imbalances of capitalism and innovation.

This week we take a look at some of the early effects of the tariffs, as well as the nature and purpose of RFK Jr's MAHA agenda, before pivoting to a review of Trump's first 100 days in office. Finally we turn to a very sleepy article in the New York Times about how the Resistance is...sort of...doing some stuff...and other stuff...
