On Today’s KITM, David Waldman does what he can to prepare us for whatever it is coming our way.
Donald Trump’s hush money/election interference trial resumed Friday in Manhattan Criminal Court, where. uhm, where… Oh my God, he’s going to get away with it all, isn’t he?
Yesterday, the Supreme Court posed the question, “If Donald Trump can’t commit federal crimes with complete impunity, then who can?” They pondered the conundrum o...
It’s Thursday, and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back to discuss everything important and newsworthy... except flamethrowing robot dogs. That subject remains woefully under-reported here.
Kids nowadays! What’s with all of these anti-war protests at campuses? Quit acting like your grandparents and get a job! Oh, and if you want to appear sensible, don’t demonstrate overt support for either the Viet Cong or Hamas.
It’s Wednesday, and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back with the news, views, and wishes for a happy Passover, and National Pigs in a Blanket Day for those of us with absolutely zero dietary restrictions.
Fake news! Mint Press isn’t the only one passing around stories too good to be true, more will be on the way. Syrian chemical weapons conspiracy theorists are being stoked to parrot Assad regime and Kremlin falsehoods.
Happy Passover! David Waldman and Joan McCarter present today’s Holiday Special KITM Ⓚ
Senator Tom Cotton wants the National Guard to clamp down on the anti-war hippy movement on college campuses. In 1970, Ohio Governor Jim Rhodes tried out a similar idea in a pretty well-publicized case. Cotton should consider Rhodes’ eventual plight of finishing his maximum two terms as Governor, skipping a term, then having the Ohio Supreme Cour...
Mmm — Do you sense a certain “earthiness” in the air today? Why yes, that’s David Waldman and Greg Dworkin with today’s KITM Earth Day Special!
I regret the error. In last Friday’s summary I had stated that since the release of the Congressional FART team, all of the good fart jokes had now been written. As you KITM listeners know however, no matter what, Donald Trump always seems to have something cooking. I had discounted that Do...
You think that David Waldman has it easy as host of the KITM Show? The Freedom Caucus released their FART team 20 some hours before our Friday show. All of the good jokes are done!
Marjorie Taylor Greene could have finally shown leadership aptitude in FART, had she not been thrown out of the caucus. Moscow Marjorie sure supports Vladimir Putin and yet has not been conscripted into the Russian army… or maybe she has... The Bill Barr...
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back and awake as ever for the Thursday KITM!
Mike Johnson has been attempting to find the balance between allowing Ukraine to die at the hands of the Russians, or pretending to help only to arrive too late. Counting votes for Mike is made tougher by the everchanging vote to ruble exchange rate in the Gop House. C-Span could open a 24/7 kompromat video feed.
Over at the Senate, it didn’t take long...
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back for the Thursday KITM. Listen to today’s show and you’ll never doze off!
Nighty night, Donald! Sure, food isn’t allowed in the courtroom, but there should be an exception made for a bowl of spaghetti or a cream pie under Donald Trump’s face. It’s hard to believe TFFG would have anything to complain about, it sounds like a laugh riot so far. Pity the Both-Sides Media, who have to make Trump mo...
No one knows more about most things than David Waldman and Joan McCarter. Listen to them for a couple of hours today and see how much smarter you can become.
Somnolent sleezewad Donald Trump is today attending the second day of his first criminal trial. Some say that Donald napped better yesterday than the great Lincoln or Washington would have, had they been indicted on multiple felonies. Stormy Daniels’ testimony should wake him ...
Today, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin present the KITM Patriots Day Special… which was a holiday even before it became day one of Donald Trump’s first criminal trial. So far the trial is the trial of the century, despite Trump’s pleading, raging, ranting, and contempt. You know that it’s a big deal, even without Donald telling you so, because it’s so hard to bully or fake out a trial.
Outside the courthouse, Trump’s follower cover...
Let’s see… What happened since we last talked? Trump supporter and wingman OJ Simpson died, which other than freeing up some tee time and reminding everyone of Norm Macdonald, doesn’t solve much. Allen Weisselberg has been taken into custody, again, for criming for Trump, again, but every little incarceration helps. And, David Waldman dropped a brand-new Friday KITM, which is always nice.
Speaking of Donald Trump, and when isn’t an...
On today’s show, David Waldman coaxed Greg Dworkin to pull his Raft O’ Stories several more feet up the Big Kagro River. We might get to 10 tomorrow!
Everyone knows that the secret to comedy is... Donald Trump established himself as the 2024 Pro-Choice Candidate and Gops got in line to be lead out of the wilderness... Timing! The Arizona Supreme Court has gone pre-abolition, pre-suffrage, pre-antibiotics, pre-statehood, to illumina...
Wasn’t that nice? We all had a pleasant experience together. The solar eclipse was partially visible from 49 U.S. states yesterday, with 15 of those being in the “path of totality”. David Waldman made his eclipse encounter extra exciting by also viewing missile launches at the slightly forebodingly named Wallops Flight Facility. No one, not even Fox could ruin the moment, although Marjorie Taylor Greene really, really tried.
...Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
Find out, with our April 8, 2020 episode!
As per tradition, it was the day David Waldman reserves a chair and facemask for Elijah. It was also a Wednesday, the day David reserves for Greg Dworkin, who traditionally visits via Skype.
Dateline Somalia: A nation ravaged by pirates and rampant corruption, a population in anarchy as aid to those i...
Did you feel the earth move this morning? It could be the scintillation of David Waldman’s cascade of Friday KITM information and insight. It could have been that earthquake in New Jersey.
Oh! So that’s what the World Central Kitchen logo looks like! Way up from where Israel sits, they found it hard to tell from the Al Jazeera, Reuters, Red Cross, etc. logos that pop up in their crosshairs so often. Anywho... their bad! (Or Hamas’ ...
David Waldman welcomes back KITM Convalescent Contributor Greg Dworkin, who had plenty to say but with few breaths to say it.
Bibi Netanyahu has been under a lot of pressure lately. President Joe Biden is outraged at the killing of World Central Kitchen aid workers, heartbroken at the death of so many Palestinians, and probably pretty pissed at Bibi. The US government is beginning to think of punishing Israel, although Israeli citi...
David Waldman celebrates the Wednesday of it all, especially the part where Greg Dworkin returns with his big Raft O’ Stories™... Unfortunately Greg was unable to haul It too far along the KITM Canal without becoming a little winded.
It’s another post elections-Tuesday Wednesday. Donald Trump and the Republicans are getting everything they've been asking for, more hatred and fear, and fewer people willing to vote for them. Trump ke...
Every day does seem like April Fools Day anymore, but you can always rely on David Waldman and Joan McCarter to be your plain dealers.
Howdy ho! Broke-ass dotard Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond in his New York State civil trial. It wasn’t Donald’s money, it never is. This time Trump’s sweetheart was car loan tycoon Don Hankey. Mr. Hankey and Trump have a lot in common, so one can only hope that Trump’s loan came in around 8...
It’s the first of April and David Waldman reminds us to trust no one today on that wild world web. Greg Dworkin would have warned you also, but remains away on holiday assignment.
Who put Easter so close to April Fools Day, anyhow? Republicans demand that President Joe Biden apologize for placing Easter on March 31, The International Transgender Day of Visibility, and for banning religious symbols from Easter Eggs ever since 1976....
