His Condolences

This week Jeb and Tim chat about the first out loud moves from the Mueller investigation; the indictment of one-time Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his collague Rick Gates, plus the guilty plea of 30 year old campaign staffer George Papadopoulos. Also this week; What's that uranium thing all about? The importance of the GOP's tax reform proposal and assessing how much does Kevin Spacey sucks.

Indictments, uranium and a terrible coming out announcement

Uranium Dumb

Hollywood's dark underbelly has been exposed and Jeb and Tim discuss whether the Weinstein fiasco will lead to even more public airing of abuses by powerful men or stop dead at the ruined film executive. Trump's military moral authority is questioned, in light of him talking and joking while a flag lowering ceremony is taking place at a military base during a Fox interview. Meanwhile actual (terrible) policy is still happening too; This week, the continuation of Project Destroy Obamacare. On a lighter note, New Zealand still doesn't have a government and nobody seems to mind too much.

Harvey's Bathtub

The horrific mass murder in Las Vegas won't change a dang thing about America's gun laws. President Trump is leading the way to no legislative victories in spite of the GOP's command of the White House, House of Representatives and Senate while they try one more bite at the healthcare apple before moving into tax reform. The Steele Dossier is still in play for the secretly still continuing Russia investigation by Rob Mueller and New Zealand's just had an election but has no idea who's in charge yet!
