Sneaky SCOTUS, Sad Establishment, & What The World Says About Trump!: ‘BradCast’ 4/29/2016

Guest: John Nichols of The Nation Magazine

GUEST HOSTED BY DANIELLE & SHANE-O!!!

Share article:

On today’s BradCast, guest hosted by Danielle & Shane-O of The Thom Hartmann Program, we talk about what the Supreme Court’s been up to while we weren’t paying attention, about what the establishment is missing on both sides of the aisle, and what the international press thinks of the GOP frontrunner.

Our guest is John Nichols from The Nation Magazine and we talked about the sad state of The Stop Trump Movement. He told us how the Stop Trumpers have a lot in common with the Stop Goldwater movement of 1964, and why that’s not good news for the GOP. And, we discussed how the elites are missing the boat in both parties and why it’s in the Democratic Party’s best interest to embrace bold, progressive policies.

Also today: We cover the latest ways that our Supreme Court has been tampering with privacy rights and our elections; and we also found a little time to laugh at the brilliant ways the international media is mocking The Donald! Enjoy!…

    With my tack record, i guess this is where this fits in.

    Who was Jesus

    It’s weeding season.
    The difference between
    The US and THEM
    RIGHT NOW”¦
    We want us all to graduate
    They feel only some can.
    Still your mind
    Learn to attune at a higher level.

    For my brother Timothy Dennis who passed with Father Daniel Berrigan.
    PS America grab your kahunas, be ready for the storm. Love or Fear: Take your pick. Then also remember, one step at a time has caused infernal racism.

    My brother used to call it brain wave adjustment. God of all you know how much I’ll miss him.

    Great discussion with John Nichols, especially the analysis about automation and the future of (un)employment.

    This is exactly what the Zeitgeist movement has been talking about. Automation will lead to the end of employment eventually for the vast majority of people. Resource based economy!
