Well, here we are again, Under the Cloud of Another Mass Shooting.TM
I think this is the fourth or fifth time I’ve had to use that line this year. There was the Capital Gazette shooting in Annapolis back in June, the Santa Fe High School shooting in Houston in May, the Parkland shooting in February. Oh yeah, the one in Toronto in July.
We didn’t even finish fully absorbing the mail bomb spree yet, either.
If this is the “winning,” then yes, I’m tired of it.
OK. Let’s get through this, shall we? Let’s go. We can do it.
Listen right here at 9:00 AM ET!
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 LIVE show:
It’s looking more and more like Debbie Wasserman Shultz wasn’t The MAGABomber, therefore Florida Man might be lying to us as well! You just can’t support a civil society with such behavior. On that subject, Katie Tur got the "You mad, bro?” from Erick Erickson, and she remained quite civil, considering. David Waldman deep dives into only a couple of issues today. First up, our Well Regulated Militia. A Kentucky man was looking for some people to shoot at in a predominately black church. Locked out, he went shopping at a Kroger, assuring a fellow shooter (aka a Good Guy™) “whites don’t shoot whites”. A Florida man/substitute teacher dropped the second amendment out of his pants onto an elementary school playground. In Missouri, two teen boys took over regulating a middle school teacher’s arms. A Wisconsin Gop loser will just nuke his rivals. Body-slamming Rep. Greg Gianforte wants you to know it wasn’t his fault, unfortunately lying violates his settlement agreement. David then sang his siren song of law and economic theory to lure Armando into calling in. Alas, he was not so easily seduced (or was busy). The Framers did not intend for minority rule to be here forever, so Newt Gingrich demands Brett Kavanaugh hurry up and put the fix in. Here’s a quick history of “judicial review” vs. “judicial supremacy” from Dred Scott on up. David studies The Bosses’ Constitution, and this weekend, so should you!
(Thanks to Scott Anderson for the show summary! Please help me pay him more!)
