  • Very left political talk

    Very left political talk with a lot of misinformation, just 2 guys talking bad about a different point of view.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump Purges Secret Service, 100 Dead in Nepal, Zuckerberg Pays $17 B, Trump’s Moscow Man, USPS, Ford’s Kiss My Ass Moment
Q: What's the legal significance of the judge lifting the injunction, and what should plaintiffs do next?
The injunction was lifted because the rule was finalized and the case wasn't ripe when the injunction was issued; plaintiffs should file an amended complaint to reflect the final rule so the court can assess ripe issues and potentially reissue an injunction quickly.
Trump Purges Secret Service, 100 Dead in Nepal, Zuckerberg Pays $17 B, Trump’s Moscow Man, USPS, Ford’s Kiss My Ass Moment
Q: Anne, can you walk us through why the USPS rule was described as not ripe by the Supreme Court?
The court said there wasn't an actual injury yet and thus lacked jurisdiction, meaning the rule hadn't been fully implemented or effectuated in real time, so an injunction wasn't yet appropriate; an amended complaint would be needed once the rule is finalized and in effect.
BLANCHE COLLAPSES UNDER FRAUD CLAIMS; OSSOFF EVICERATES CLAYTON; TRUMP'S ADDRESS TO THE NATION IS A POWER GRAB BASED ON A LIE
Q: What are the main legal concerns surrounding the $2 billion settlement allegations?
The hosts and Anne Mitchell describe the settlement as potentially illegitimate, pointing to the dismissal with prejudice, the lack of clear naming of parties, and a possible money-laundering scheme tied to the DOJ and the White House, suggesting the settlement may have been a sham to shield Trump or others from accountability.
FiveStack: Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes
Q: What is your view on bringing a rational policy to the system and possibly injecting it into Virginia politics?
He contemplates a campaign that prioritizes transparent, fact-based policy and cross-partisan collaboration, aiming to break the traditional two-party mold.
FiveStack: Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes
Q: What would it take for you to run, and what would your campaign look like?
He envisions a campaign centered on truth and policy over party lines, leveraging technology and broad name ID to appeal to a center-ground electorate, possibly in a non-traditional, unaffiliated bid.
