Thank you greatly, Michael, for being YOU, for being concerned, for caring about the future of this country, when almost a half of its population wants to deprive the U.S. of its future. 26 years ago, our family immigrated to the United States from Russia, and my youngest son was born here. On March 28, 2020, the damn virus-19 stole my dear husband and the father of my children from us. The darkness thickened, every day of the 45th presidency filled my life with horror. When the January 6, 2020 happened, it seemed that the country would no longer recover from an irreversible disease. Today, hope still exists, thanks to the people like you. Thank you greatly, Michael, please be healthy and well-being, together with your family and like-minders.
If someone comes up with socialism = communism, tell them to look up those terms in the dictionary! We've had socialism ever since FDR's Social Security! Would they like to give up their Social Security?
The judge is obviously part of the white supremacist and corrupt government and policing system, that looked the other way when terrorists like Rittenhouse were attacking the anti police protesters. I think this judge was specifically put on the bench in this case to help Rittenhouse as much as possible.
We obviously don't have a fair equal justice system in this country, what we have is a racist white supremacist injustice system. There are so many white supremacists in the police department and the judicial system, it was obvious from the beginning that Rittenhouse was going to get away with murder and attempted murder, when that criminal judge Schroeder said the protesters could only be referred to as rioters or insurrectionists.
The white supremacist defense attorney picked white supremacist right wing jurors, and evidence such as Rittenhouse was under age to carry a weapon of war, brought the illegal weapon across three states, and brought that weapon into to the protest, which would make everyone have a need to be ready to try to defend your self, not knowing what the intentions of this person coming at you with an AR 15 are.
Rittenhouse came at these people he shot killed and wounded, forcing them into a defensive position, and then Rittenhouse shot them saying it was because he was frightened for his life, when it was him who forced the situation. You do not have the right to say you were in fear for your life, when you are the aggressor.
The problem is too many people in this country have an inherent problem where they live in their own reality and believe both parties work for the government and the people. They are in denial of the fact that the Republican Party works only for the corporations and billionaires who are conducting a Coup, for control of the country and turn it into a fascist, authoritarian Oligarchy.
I would feel like an attorney in a courtroom if at Thanksgiving dinner, I asked my skeptical relatives a series of logical questions meant to lead them into clear thinking. It wouldn't work. If they saw they were becoming cornered, they'd change the subject and bring up some stupid disingenuous stuff that the leaders who are supposed to be on our side have done in recent times. It's no use. Luckily the world is full of fun subjects that have nothing to do with politics (or else sneaky subliminal politics) so I usually channel somebody like Groucho Marx to throw everyone off their trains of thought.

I appreciated this podcast. I laughed a lot at some of yours and Basel's comments about how ridiculous people's wrong-headed thinking is from the right! But I have cousins -ex-suburban Chicago police, etc. who were anti-vaxxers until their younger brother died from COVID and then the entire family got vaccinated wheras my side of the family and one of their brothers did not know how to convince them. I emailed them and just pleaded gently that they get vaccinated and was there at the funeral. Fortunately, I had trained to Chicago during that time to visit my 96 yr. old aunt and was able to attend the memorial and funeral. In homage to my cousin, Jim, I leave you with the code by which he lived by: The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe. by John Walter Wayland For me this is how we need to treat our Cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs relatives. Great podcast and so grounded with the voice of reason from you both. Thank you! May we think of our native lands that we live on and prosper from its richness! Happy, Healthy and Safe Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a time when I feel most alone as all of my family of origin has passed on, and I've been divorced since 1989. So more often than not it's just me and my youngest son who still lives with me that celebrate the day, as we do every other day. That being said, I get sick to my stomach even thinking about having to spend a wonderful holiday like Thanksgiving listening to those whose heart has grown cold and who hold political or religious views I can't stomach. KUDOS to those of you who do this year after year. Thanksgiving blessings to us all!
