Last Minute: Politics

We finish our reading selection from "The East Is Still Red" by Carlos Martinez and talk MORE Israel Palestine! Why did Israel open fire on civilians at a music festival? SOME of them MIGHT be terrorists of course.

Isn't CHINA doing a genocide too? Well. I dunno. Look at the evidence. This week we talk about Palestine and how Israel keeps killing thousands of children there. But ALSO we talk about XinJiang province in China where there's a fake "genocide" also "taking place". Who knows though! No way to know. Just gotta keep on... keepin... on? We read from "The East Is Still Red" by Carlos Martinez.

I'm back! And the news did not stop while I was away. We got Canada forgetting that SS members are Nazis, McCarthy losing his speakership role after "Forcing the Vote" totally worked, Bernie arresting his former supporters, Stop Cop City being Doxxed by Atlanta leadership, AND Palestine rising up against genocidal oppression from US ally Israel. What a month!

Why can New Jersey residents vote to close private prisons, if the "good" side of our single political party can just force them open again through court proceedings? Because that's what's happening. Pepper also discusses the forbidden country song, and the very weird response to it!

Once again I am joined by LORCAN to talk about the UPS strike, all the stuff going on in Africa, the EFF rally that caused much pearl-clutching, and MORE! Get in here!

WE GOT Kirther in today to talk about Brasil's left wing. You see, Pepper is lucky enough to have traveled to Brasil a couple times now, and weirdly his international politics seem to line up well with Brasilian Communists. WHY IS THAT? What's up with the USA's "left"? Biden is denying asylum to a lotta people AND just appointed a war criminal to a diplomatic board. Why is that bad, even though Biden is a Democrat?

We got lots of bad news and we're trying to laugh our way though it. Join Pepper and Beatrice Poundwell as they talk about the supreme court, Threads, that submarine that exploded, and much much more!

You gotta actually PUT the plumbing in your house, or you didn't put the plumbing in your house. We got LOTTSA metaphors for you today. LORCAN joins us once again (@LorcanVulpini on twitter) and we are talking about FOOD, THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, CORNEL WEST, THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. Got on a roll with the all caps and I couldn't back out.

BEATRICE P is back in the house and we're talking about Trump, Foodstamps, Gay beer, Straight liquor, and hard sports. Some of those I made up. Was kinda riffing there for a second. Ron Desantis is checking school library books for porn and we're gonna yell about it.

WE GOT BEATRICE POUNDWELL, #1 fan of Nohomers.net (It's the new Twitter) and we're talking about the writer's strike. We answer the tough questions like: Are writers people? Do they deserve wages? How much food is too much to feed your writer? We also talk about the latest 90s thing getting rebooted: former and current Presidents' sexual assault allegations.

WE are talking about bud-lite because... well, because the news has decided it's VERY IMPORTANT. Pepper is joined by Bryant Fox to talk about corporate sponsorship, Socialists under arrest, and of course, Dinner with Andre.

We recorded this about a week before it published so I hope nothing CRAZY happened in the last couple days. LORCAN joins again to talk about the long LONG history between Ireland/England and how the island has been a testing ground for British Empire and everything that flowed from it historically. Colonization? Forcing people off of viable farmland? Enforcing starvation for profit? All started there for England.

LORCAN joins us today from Northern Ireland to tell us about the imperialism our good friend England is doing to its neighbor island, and how the USA is helping. Is it about religion, or keeping the workers divided? Also Don the Trump has been arrested again. Maybe THIS time it'll stick, and they'll start arresting ALL the criminal presidents. Maybe.

CHINA! They have more than balloons, they have foreign policy suggestions. Student loans MIGHT get forgiven, gays MIGHT keep the right to get married, and the Nevada DSA HAS been swept from power by the Democrats. CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. How much would Chumly pay for an authentic Nazi Skull? We answer the tough questions in today's episode.

You thought we were JOKING about NoHomers.net ? Joke's on you, go make an account. We got Beatrice Poundwell back with us today talking about Chinese balloons, Diet Weed (now illegal), Ohio chemical explosions, and American underwater explosives.

We got Sofia joining us today to offer her perspective on such topics as: Access to death being greater than access to relief in Canada, Lula's return to the Brasilian Presidency, and how the Chinese Communist Party talks to the Chinese people. I promise this isn't a depressing episode!

Does twitter hate free speech, or do they love money? What the heck are the Minsk Agreements? Should Railroad workers get paid sick days? We answer SOME of these questions!

Pepper is joined by returning guest Beatrice Poundwell! Did anybody actually lose money from the weekend of fake verified Twitter accounts? Is critical race theory a real thing? Did Russia bomb Poland? Lotsa big questions discussed in this week's show. Will there be any answers? Some! Follow @BPoundwell on Twitter if it still exists.

The "Progressive" caucus of House Democrats recently sent a letter to the White House calling for negotiations with Russia to avoid nuclear war. Nanci Pelosi's husband got hit with a hammer. The US rail industry may shut down next month due to the Biden admin's hatred of workers taking time off for illness. QUITE A WEEK it has been.
