On today’s show, we led off talking about Trump’s reprehensible pardons this week of reality TV couple Todd and Julie Chrisley, Sheriff Scott Jenkins, and Paul Walczak - and what each of them did to get the pardons.

We also went over Trump’s statements and social media posts over the past few days where he said the quiet part out loud on Vladimir Putin.

I talked about Trump and Stephen Miller’s war on higher education, and how Harvard has become the front in that battle.

We also talked about Jake Tapper’s book tour, his apology to Lara Trump, and how Jim Jordan is about to weaponize it with hearings where Biden staffers have been subpoenaed.

Of course, we had to talk about ex-swimmer/current culture warrior Riley Gaines and her gripe on Fox about Kermit the Frog giving the commencement speech at Maryland.

And contrasted that with the “trophy wife” comments Trump made at West Point.

I also talked about how Trump and Pete Hegseth’s bumbling incompetence has given Canada tremendous negotiating leverage on tariffs.

Lots of other stuff but those we the bigger topics. Link to the show is here.

If you missed yesterday’s Today in Politics Bulletin you can find it here.

Jordan can fuck all the way off. No one should show up. Biden isn’t in office. How about investigating trump’s actual mental decline and corruption.
