  • Lead riff

    I know music costs money, BUT your lead in riff is sophmoric. Level up. Sorry/not sorry

  • Trump complains enemy within doesn’t wear uniforms

    You played the clip, but I haven’t heard anyone express concern over DT’s fascist thinking as if the/his enemy from within should wear uniforms. What’s next? armbands, tattoos of serial numbers for his perceived enemies?

  • Straight-Forward, Old Fashioned Reporting

    Seems like Greg and the guests he has on are some of the only actual journalists left in this country. No “both sides” bull detected: simply calling out the fully fascist Republican Party and what the Democratic Party is and isn’t doing to stop them.

  • Thank you for your great interview skills

    Today’s interview with Asawin Suebsaeng made my day. He ended by saying next time “maybe I won’t be so angry”. Don’t you dare Asawin. Your tone and comments hit JUST the right pitch. This f#*+king moron president needs to be accurately described and thank you for doing it.

MAGA Rages at Tucker Carlson after “Nazi” Shocker Reveals Too Much
Q: What are Gropers and why can't Tucker afford to alienate them?
Gropers are followers of Nick Fuentes, characterized by extreme racist, anti-Semitic, and misogynistic views. Tucker cannot afford to alienate them because they represent a significant faction within the right that he attempts to appeal to.
MAGA Rages at Tucker Carlson after “Nazi” Shocker Reveals Too Much

Trump’s Angry, Crazed Eruption over Cognitive Test Backfires on Itself
Q: How does the media coverage compare between Biden's age and Trump's mental fitness?
