It’s Wednesday. As of the writing of the first draft of today’s post (And who are we kidding? There’s never a second draft.) there’s no snow falling. But in anticipation of an early morning-onset storm, schools across the region are closed, and most government offices will be, too. But this time, it’s not because of Trump.
But back to it being Wednesday. Assuming our electrical grid and Internet infrastructure hasn’t deteriorated dramatically under Trump’s neglect, we can expect to be joined by Greg Dworkin and Joan McCarter. And although it’ll be a slow day for governance, that’s no different from any other day in the past two years. All the action will be in the newspapers, and Trump’s snowbound fury-tweeting. It could be a real doozy, given what’s been in the news lately.
And you know how that Trump guy is when he can’t get outside for some exercise!
You know because you have your various senses, and Trump never gets exercise. So it’s kind of out there, every day.
That may not be news, but how hard we will laugh at it will be record-breaking. That I can tell you. Believe me.

PODCAST LISTENERS: There’s a new podcast platform in town, and the big news is: this one pays! RadioPublic pays podcast producers on a CPM basis, for listens on their native app (available for iPhones & Androids), financed by pre- and post-roll ads they insert. Not a bad way to support the show, with somebody else’s money!
So if you’re a podcast listener, please consider downloading the RadioPublic app on your Android or iOS phone. Yes, you can still download directly from their site, or listen to the player embedded here at Daily Kos. But it’s listens in their app that count toward payment.
Nothing changes on our end. It’s still Greg Dworkin, Joan McCarter, and even Armando. Plus also, me. And you! As always, we still want your voice on the air with us. Sit down with your smart phone or other electronic recording device and send us your stories and commentary to share with the audience. There’s no easier way to try your hand at podcasting, without all the hassle!
Of course there’s no substitute for having your support via Patreon, or one-time contributions via Square Cash. (And hey, if you want a cool trick for donating sorta-kinda cost free, get their cash.me app and use this share code to get $5 in your account (plus $5 in mine) when you send your first $5 (to anyone)!
For now, how about one on the house? Here’s what we did last time out, on our previous LIVE show:
David Waldman throws us a KITM lifeline, to pull us from the jaws of yet another emergency. No, not Donald Trump’s omelet emergency! (Just don’t tell him those aren’t olives.): Sound the Daily Kos klaxons! Bernie Sanders is again running for President! Once more unto the breach, dear Bernie bros and foes, once more unto every social media thread and type, type away as our enemy advances! Amy Klobuchar plans to fight the revolution incrementally. Mick Mulvaney’s been picking the olives out of Donald’s omelet for a couple days now, but back in 2015 he was busy fighting imperialism. Mitch McConnell has his wife tidy up behind him. Does Trump paint his face orange so you don’t see the yellow? Donald Trump must be sick of winning with all of his judicial appointees. A West Virginia official’s economic anxiety made her racist, and also a convict. A hedge fund saves newspapers by getting rid of the employees, selling the buildings, taking the money, and leaving. Roger Stone spent his whole life trying to get into prison, but has not yet succeeded. You won’t have Payless Shoes to kick around (in) anymore!
