Pissed Over Politics

In his first 100 days back in office, AG Pam Bondi claims that President Trump saved 250 million Americans from fentanyl overdoses, while DOGE saved the taxpayer $2 trillion, wait no, $1 trillion, oops, lower, $150 billion, wait no $16.5 billion, ah screw it, who knows how much DOGE saved (or didn't save)?!

RFK Jr. assures Americans Trump is standing up to the oligarchs like no president has before.

Then, DNC Vice Chair David Ho...

Why are there so many people out to get our boy Pete "Hennesey" Hegseth, our TOTALLY COMPETENT SECDEF, who just wants to do a bit of war planning on Signal?

• George Santos sentenced to 7 years in prison

What a crazy 2 weeks in the Trump administration! From adding a journalist to a Signal chat being used for war planning to potentially decimating the global economy in one of the biggest self owns in the history of presidential trade policy.

Ryan and Kevin talk all about Liberation Day and the far reach of Trump's tariffs, even to places uninhabited by humans!

Following that, we talk about Signalgate and the lack of accountabil...

American democracy continues to take hits from the Trump administration, so Ryan and Kevin decided to dedicate an entire show to examining some of those hits, including both the serious and silly ones.

We talk about: that woke WWII bomber the Enola Gay, DOGE possibly exposing the existence of a CIA black site in Virginia, Josh Gottheimer's fake Spotify Wrapped, Trump proving the ridiculousness of the presidential pardon power, Repu...

Ryan gets up on his soapbox and talks about the sadistic glee Trump and his MAGA followers take in inflicting cruelty and pain upon others.

Meanwhile, America's children are seeing and hearing this, then reenacting it in America's classrooms, leading to horrific consequences.

With America taking a dramatic turn towards siding with murderous dictators and abandoning democratic governments on the world stage, we talk about what this could mean for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

Then we run the tape on the growing highlight reel of "whoopsies!" coming out of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

And hang around for this week's 2 Quick Hits: Senator Tommy Tubervill...

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to dismantle the federal government, most notably going after USAID and the CFPB. But is Musk's sledgehammer approach to the US government as a private, unelected citizen what people were expecting when they voted for Trump?

Then we talk about how the intense pressure put on immigration enforcement agencies by the Trump administration is causing American citize...

The Trump administration ignites a nationwide panic with a memo pausing federal spending that is nearly as unclear as Trump's concepts of a plan for healthcare. We touch on this story as well as the removal of schools, hospitals, and churches as sensitive areas immune from immigration enforcement.

And hang around for this week's 2 Quick Hits about how sexual harassment may be the difference maker for Cassidy Hutchinson gett...

Melania cosplays the Hamburglar, Elon gives a Nazi salute, billionaires sit front and center during inauguration, Trump pardons the Jan 6ers, and says we're renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. It seems like we've forgotten about egg prices real quick, huh?

After sitting with the sad state of our country, we wanted to share some thoughts as to how to get through the next 4 years together without losing our minds...

On this episode, we bring you political stories taking shape on the East and West Coast of the US: from the courtrooms of New York to the wildfires of Southern California.

Ryan and Kevin talk about:

Happy New Year!

To ring in New Year, Ryan and Kevin talk about:

• The release of the Matt Gaetz Ethic Report and the GOP's (lack of) response to it.

• Trump's serious or unserious claims about seizing the Panama Canal, buying Greenland from Denmark, and make Canada the 51st State.

On the first episode of Pissed Over Politics, Ryan and Kevin talk about:

• The murder of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson and what the glamorizing of murderer Luigi Mangioni tells us about the cultural moment we're in

• Compare coverage of Mangioni's vigilantism to the coverage of Daniel Penny's trial for the murder of Jordan Neely on the NYC subway in 2023

• And due to the lack of a clear answer about...
