I listened to your show yesterday and loved your takedown of that Magat. The common theme among these idiots is to never acknowledge they are wrong. Even when evidence is given to them, they never say, "Oh yeah. They did impeach Bill Clinton and drag him through the mud." And that's how the media is allowing Tr*mp, DeSatanist, and all these other radical right extremists to spout their nonsense and continue spouting it - UNCHALLENGED! I loved when your subsequent caller correctly pointed out the media's compliance with this farce. Why is no one getting in their face and calling them out?

Michelangelo, you held your patience longer than most of us would have with this Pa caller. The "conversation" highlighted his pathetic ignorance. He is a classic example & willing victim of the right wing propaganda. I am always amazed that they are so deeply sucked into the MAGA misinformation machine and that they are narcissistic enough(like their Messiah) to believe they can call you up and win the debate with their false info. A lesson for all of us that we do need to challenge & confront those who sprout the MAGA rubbish.

Thump getting away with not releasing his taxes and finding a secret way to pay off Stormy Daniels is exactly why they like him. He gets away with what they wish could do.

Banging a gorgeous woman while your wife is home with the baby is the icing on the cake. Its another reason they like Trump and admire him so much.

DC, wow, I hadn’t thought of that angle before, gives me food for thought. Thank you. Those folk could use some time on a stereotypical psych couch, so to speak. A road to discovery. But they never will. I’ve had multiple family members all suspicious, “I don’t want any of them digging around in my brain!!”. My thought? “What are you so afraid they are going to find??”

One relative gone now, was a narcissistic personality disorder I’m rather lay person sure. So many similarities to the Rump. No wonder the orange monster never fooled for even a millisecond 7 years ago. How he has pulled the wool over multiple tens of millions of eyes is mind boggling. He’s the best !! The best con artist in the nation. And he’s still grifting and they are still giving. I knee jerk wish to say another UNbelievable, but that has been going on for 7 years, there is no more unbelievable. ALL Rump has done that is clearly illegal and outrageous and tens of thousands of lies, and still is the R front runner ?? There is no more unbelievable. That is sad for our nation as a whole. Will those masses ever ditch the real fake news ?? There’s the core thing down at the bottom of it all right there.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Love the takedown, Michelangelo! My head hurts listening to all of the MAGA pretzel logic. White nationalist evangelicals are not Christians or pro-life. Silence is complicity.

Right-wing catholics like that caller Mike are walking on thin ice since his religious denomination has committed numerous acts of child sexual abuse. But I'm sure if you'd asked him about that, he'd deflect to another subject.

Wouldn't be surprised if Mike from Pa. was a big-time Joe Paterno fan.

HALLELUJAH !! ....TRUMP FINALLY INDICTED.....Hopefully, we will know the charges when he is before the NY judge to plea guilty or not guilty. Trump has asked his "followers" to pray for him....can you believe it? Let's hope the judge is able to put a gag order in place.

His defense is Trump employs people? And? So does the mafia. So do pimps. So do child labor employers. These people have absolutely no logical thinkoing!

The Texas judge who has declared aspects of Obamacare as "unconstitutional", which means that certain drugs which protect preventive care have now been struck down. These Obamacare provisions covered preventive care for cancer & disease screenings to pregnancy care and drugs that prevent HIV transmission(eg: PREP). Certain vaccines will no longer have to be legally covered by insurers. Of course, this ruling will be appealed, but we need to get serious about peacefully protesting en masse, as we did during the Vietnam war. The Israelis & the French are examples of how mass protests CAN change policies. It is now up to us, We the People, to take on the right wing minority & "their" judges & courts, who are taking control & disrupting our freedom & our lives. They are seizing our democracy , we need to take the "power" back through massive protests.

That guy falls into the usual right wing MOO, Mode Of Operation, grasp at straw, hit a wall, deflect to another straw, repeat, repeat, repeat. Ping pong balls bouncing off walls. I have visual of Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Moose and a bunch of ping pong balls dropping from above bouncing all around, making that much sense.

Hi Michaelangelo, A happy Saturday to all. It’s a pleasure and joy listening to the podcasts. Your mastery at handling logic and fact challenged callers is entertaining and instructive. On the one hand it’s hopeful on the other hand it underscores the point that the far right and all their incarnations will not be going anywhere soon as I and others hope. The callers inhabit the America I choose for safety and sanity not to live in. Many of the callers can be the family members and friends we know longer speak to. They have chosen to build a world based on lies, conspiracy theories and hate. We’re seeing it every day. The evidence of the world that the far right wants to impose on the rest of us.

Yesterday, I posted with slight disagreement on your view of toxic masculinity. Then, I deleted it. I am glad -- for this guy confirms your view.

But enough of that (and allow me to digress on a tangent, please).

Could you please do a show on whether Disney (stripping powers from its board) will succeed in getting around DeSanctimonious?

I am happy, but I am worried about whether they will succeed.
