Skewers, we’ve known for years now that Money in Politics is one of the biggest threats to our country, and it’s never been more evident than in this election. Tonight we talk about the hundreds of millions of dollars being funneled into Donald Trump’s effort to regain the White House, a massive chunk of which can be traced directly back to, who else, Elon Musk.

Evening, Skewers. Tonight we discuss the state of affairs in Florida, where citizens still reeling from the effects of two hurricanes are also forced to deal with a malicious governor hell bent on making their lives worse. So that’s fun. Also, some dumb stuff from Trump and MAGA wants to cancel the weather. Support the show

Skewers it’s only been one week and already another generationally cataclysmic hurricane is bearing down on this country. Surely politicians on all sides have put away partisan disputes and come together to help our fellow Americans in this time of need right? Actually, no, Trump and MAGA have deemed this fertile ground for sowing lies and unrest. Imagine that. Support the show

Hurricane Helene cut a swath of cataclysmic destruction across the South last weekend, with much of the worst of it being in western North Carolina…which is profoundly upsetting considering it was a hurricane and that is the mountains. So what is being done, politically, to ensure this never happens again? Believe it or not, very little. But Trump’s getting some good photo ops out of it and that’s what really matters. Join us.

Skewers it has been one HECKUVA week for the American Right as a truly comical number of sex scandals have broken at basically the same time. Matt Gaetz doin’ Matt Gaetz stuff (i.e. bringing a teenager to a sex party), yet another vehemently homophobic activist turns out to have a super gay history, and of course the abject and filthy insanity of Mark Robinson. Join us. Support the show

Skewers, tonight we'll break down the latest apparent attempt on Trump's life, including a look at the would-be gunman, who oddly enough does NOT seem to be a transgender antifa agent. Join us as we talk about the increasingly absurd state of affairs in American politics as the 2024 election season barrels on. Support the show

Skewers this week we welcome Producer Laura to the fold (Matt is fine; we'll explain on the show) and what a first episode it is for her as we dive into the latest wholly made up fearmongering campaign being embraced by MAGA: that Haitian immigrants are out here eatin' kitty cats. Pre-game for the debate by joining us as we explore the reality of this truly insane story as well as the Ohio town at the center of it. Support the show

Skewers, it’s an election year, and you know what that means: time to gin up some immigration panics! The right has already been hard at work to this end but now they’ve got a new headliner: Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes in Colorado. Tonight we talk about the complex reality of the situation, plus Trump’s IVF position and a bunch of other dumb stuff along the way. Support the show

Skewers, tonight we talk about the astronauts currently stuck in space, and how lucky they are to be missing the insanity that is life on this planet right now. No obviously being stuck in space is less than ideal, but seriously things are wild, and we’re gonna talk about ‘em. Join us.Support the show
Published 08/28/24
Skewers, tonight we discuss all the latest criticisms being aimed at the Harris/Walz campaign as the DNC continues in Chicago. Apparently they think Tim Walz is a (very deep) sleeper Chinese agent and loves Tiananmen Square and stuff. So that’s fun. Also JD Vance continues to make normal things as weird as possible. And more. Support the show

As Harris/Walz continue to surge in the polls, the Trump campaign is firing back by…having him barely campaign at all this month. A bold strategy indeed. Could this lack of enthusiasm for campaigning have something to do with the fact that intricate and widespread plans have been put in place to ensure that Trump “wins” this election even if he loses? Let’s get into it. Support the show

Well the big decision has officially been made: Kamala Harris’s running mate is Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. And Skewers, honestly…it’s like this man was designed in a lab to hit for us. Should be a rare upbeat episode tonight so join us in merriment.Support the Show.
Published 08/07/24
Skewers tonight we’re getting into the new and entertaining approach to campaigning by Team Harris and the Dems: just talk about how frickin’ weird these weirdos are. And so far…seems to be working out (probably on account of them being super weird). Should be a fun one, and yes, the couch is gonna come up. Support the Show.
Published 07/31/24
Tonight we’re talking about turning the page, Joe Biden committing seppuku, how insane recent TikTok star Kamala Harris makes Republicans, and a Trump donor getting stuck in his car elevator. Trae is on the road so Mark is joined by Senior How-Fox-News-Just-Got-My-Mom-To-Love-Joe Biden Correspondent Corey Ryan Forrester.Support the Show.

Skewers it’s kinda hard to know what to talk about this week as so little is going on in the news cycle right now. However, we’ll surely come up with something. Maybe the assassination attempt or fake hillbilly VP candidate, if anyone’s interested. Support the Show.
Published 07/17/24
Skewers this week we talk about the same thing everyone on the American left is talking about: should Joe Biden step aside? More importantly: will he? With almost indescribably massive implications for November and beyond, someone needs to answer these questions, and soon. As for us, we opine. Support the Show.
Published 07/10/24
Tonight on Skews we’ll be joined by Dr. Scott Lemieux, professor of political science and constitutional law at UW-Seattle, to help us make sense of the recent tear SCOTUS has been on (culminating with yesterday’s decision that Presidents are Kings now). Just exactly HOW terrified should we be? We’ll discuss that, as well as all things Biden, on the show. Support the Show.
Published 07/03/24
Skewers, tonight we discuss the ongoing and ever-perplexing shift in rhetoric, demeanor, and position of Senator John Fetterman, as the one-time progressive darling continues to openly antagonize countless members of the American political left. To what end? Who knows, but we’ll talk about it. Support the Show.
Published 06/26/24
Skewers, tonight we discuss the traffic policy kerfuffle that New York Democrats have embroiled themselves in, and, more importantly, how it offers insight into the ineptitude of Big Democrat and the threat this all poses to the possibility of Dem control of the House of Representatives in the forthcoming election. Join us. Support the Show.
Published 06/19/24
Well Skewers, everyone else is talking about it so we reckon we should too: Hunter Biden has been convicted of three felony gun charges related to lying on a background check. Which is of course a massive surprise considering his father Joe Biden personally operates a famously rigged and partisan justice system. What does it all mean? We’ll try and figure it out. Support the Show.
Published 06/12/24
Tonight we discuss, what else, last weeks big verdict: 34 felony convictions for Donald Trump, as well as the discourse surrounding it since from both the right (unhinged, flailing, hypocritical) and the left (basically nonexistent for some reason). Also Fauci’s big day and a bunch of other fun stuff too. Join us. Support the Show.

Tonight Trae and Mark will be joined by longtime Skewniverse vagabond extraordinaire Drew Morgan to discuss Libertarians, Trump, RFK Jr. (as well as his maybe-also-insane running mate), and a host of other topics. Gonna be a good un!Support the Show.
