Trump has a longstanding history of grifting down-ballot Republicans.  Instead of supporting his so-called party, Trump is forever leveraging his status for personal profit.

But the intrigue doesn't end there. We also unpack the un-surprising transformations of "Never Trump" Republicans like Chris Sununu and Bill Barr, who have suddenly found Trump an acceptable candidate for president.

And we look...

'No Fair Remembering Stuff' Remembers the 2016 and 2020 General Election "debates" and says No More.  And Driftglass's 19 year old blog post gets a reprise as a Harvard professor comes to the same conclusions.  More at proleftpod.com.

We also express disgust over the sheer size of the NBC C-Suite, and Trump's "Bible."  ...

Why did NBC hire Ronna Romney McDaniel?  And the obvious reason it was the wrong choice?  Isn't the real reason.  And deep down Chuck Todd knows it.

Republicans no longer have a quiet part.  Cutting Social Security, stopping 'feminazis' from voting, supporting a rapist and porn star bribe payer.  There is no more "quiet part" that they're hiding behind.  (Recorded before the State of the Union Address.)  More at proleftpod.com.

Republicans cut taxes for their rich donors when they're in the White House, and flip out about "the deficit" when a Democrat takes the presidency.   Join us in the latest episode of No Fair Remembering Stuff as we dive into the historical significance of the Clinton Surplus and the enduring trend of Republicans' unwavering love for tax cuts, regardless of their claim of concern over "deficits" when a ...
