Firmly planted in the Path of Totality today, but with twice the number of screaming kids in the house, there was no chance of finding a quiet place for a live show this Monday. And really, I might just have let you all enjoy the ambience along with me, but the reality is that the kids don’t just want to scream. They want pancakes. And waffles. And ice cream. And pancakesandwafflesandicecream!
And so do I, really. Everyone's excited!
I mean, Trump sucks and stuff. But we’re excited!
And you’re excited, too! So I’m not gonna just leave you hanging. We’ve got another brand-new show for you today, catching up on new details about the wild happenings of the past few days, continued fallout from Charlottesville, Bannon’s “exit,” and more.
If I might be so bold: great listening while you get ready for the big celestial event.
Listen right here at 9:00 AM ET!
Hello. Do you think the world has gone crazy? Well, so do we. That’s why we get up early each weekday morning to say so on Daily Kos Radio.
There’s no better way to start the day than by commiserating with Daily Kos editors David Waldman, Greg Dworkin, Joan McCarter, and even Armando.

So, you thought David Waldman went “on vacation”? KITM is vacation, for all of us to get away from all of this by shouting WTF together. So David felt obligated to record a new almost-live show to help us over this weekend: For Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, vacation and work also blend together, so much so that it is hard to tell when they are working at all. Don’t bother Ivanka, or any Trump, for any non-self-serving effort anymore, they’re all too busy. Donald Trump warns “You can’t change history” by eliminating Confederate statues. Condoleezza F’ing Rice agrees. True, the statues themselves attempted to eliminate the uncomfortable history of the Dred Scott decision, Jim Crow laws, civil rights, and Robert E. Lee, but how could we teach history without statues? And, does anyone ever consider the beauty of monuments? Donald, a lover of history, believe me, loved historical monuments so much he erected fake ones at his clubs. He loved historical beauty so much he… OK, that feeling might be only recent. Heather Heyer’s mom won't speak with Trump, for good reason. Another disrupter of the very fine people rally suffered a stroke because of injuries inflicted upon him. But what about the real victims? Like the White Nationalist fired from the Libertarian hotdog place? Or the crying virgin nazi-boy? Or the Victim in Chief himself? He really needs an adoration rally right now, and Phoenix’s mayor wants to withhold this most important thing, just to avoid death and destruction. Bannon bets Scaramucci that he can call a reporter, say dumbass things, and still keep his job. (He lost.)
