On this episode of the Red State Update podcast, Jackie Broyles and Dunlap yell about: Trump chickens out in Turkey: After possible threats, Trump leaves Karoline Leavitt, Steven Cheung, reporters, a…
Jackie, today's a day that we should probably, uh, keep close to our hearts, because it is another day in America-
... with Donald J. Trump president.
He's still president.
He's been president for, what, almost a year and a half?
He, I guess in retrospect, it's starting to look like the first four years of him was him trying to do whatever the fuck he wanted.
And some stodgy old Republicans who thought they still had, uh, careers after that or, you know, a, a place in the history books, tried to keep him from doing those things.
Because the things he wanted to do were the worst possible things a president could do.
And now all those stodgy old Republicans are gone, uh, dead or in jail or whatever he had done to them.
They got a, some of them got a few more months left, yeah, but they'll be gone here in the midterms, yeah.
So now it's just in the White House it's people helping Trump do whatever he wants to do, or sometimes trying to talk him into doing stuff that they want to do, which are ideas that are equally as bad.
Well, look, all the GOP, they voted 50 to 49 anyway, so a couple of them didn't, to put Todd Blanche in there.
The president's per- personal damn lawyer is now, uh, head of the Department of Justice.
Which honestly even in good times doesn't sound like that great of an achievement.
