If the title of this episode sounds like a word salad, then it's a perfect headline describing the past week in MAGA. It is useless to try to describe here. Listen and see for yourself.

In this episode, we focus on the first hundred days of the second Trump administration. What do we learn? We learn that Trump, in that time, has saved the lives of 75% of the American population. We learn that every single pollster and news organization is engaged in a massive conspiracy to have us believe that he and his policies are not popular. We learn that Harlem had massive protests against Harvard University that apparently nobody even knew about. We learned that Trump "did very well with black voters", which means that 16% is now defined as "very well". And we now have a new word in our vocabulary that, thanks to Trump, we now know what it means: "Grocery". What a hundred days it has been.

Quite a week for Trump. He finally left the country to attend the funeral for the Pope and his mere presence and lack of decorum was the talk of the event. So far, even Fox News, who you'll recall damn near declared the end of our Republic when Obama wore a tan suit, and blasted the leader of the free world Volodymyr Zelensky for not wearing a jacket and tie in the Oval Office, said nothing about the blue suit and tie. Speaking of the media...in what should have been the top story of the month, if not week, was a one news cycle thing. The 60 Minutes Executive Producer Bill Owens has resigned under corporate pressure. The reasons should make our blood boil. But will anything beyond the price of groceries make our blood boil these days?

Once again, another week in the books and more evidence that we are dealing with something in this country that we've never faced before. Legal residents are being snatched off of our streets and 'disappeared'. And if that alone isn't enough to cause extreme outrage, Federal Courts and even a unanimous Supreme Court rulings that the Trump administration must get them back are ignored. This is the point that we've never crossed in our history. People are outraged. Hundreds of thousands are demonstrating in cities and towns in every state and in countries across the globe. That is the good news. But it's also the bad news, as no doubt that these demonstrations will be the impetus for Trump to declare a national emergency and suspend elections. Lest you think that this is hyperbole, did you ever imagine that we'd be where we already are? How long until the inevitable violence occurs? Who could have seen all of this coming? Well, it turns out that Bernie Sanders was among those who saw it coming. We share.

Just when you think it can't get more embarrassing or dangerous, Trump and MAGA say, "hold my beer". War planning in a group text chat, military threats to Greenland and Denmark, the Commander in Chief having no idea that 4 of our service members are missing in Lithuania. We are facing incompetence at Monty Python levels in this country.

Not so long ago, the attitude was that "it can't happen here". This is the United States of America! The beacon for Democracies world wide! The greatest nation ever conceived! American exceptionalism! Well, in two short months, we now know that indeed it CAN happen here...it HAS happened here. Now, there are signs that perhaps a sleeping giant of sorts has been awakened due to the assault on our institutions and people are waking up. It would be wise for those who consider themselves our "Rulers" to take note that the historical reaction to despotic authoritarian rule and the often violent end that many of those historical "Rulers" met can also "happen here". Across the nation and world, reactions are growing louder and more pointed. We share some of the sounds of this reaction on this edition of Minyard & Minyard do the resistance. It's time that we all DO SOMETHING!

Have you noticed that each week seems like months? Hard to imagine that it's not yet been even two months that our government was handed over to a wannabe (stupid) dictator who has nothing but retribution on his agenda, and his happy band of oligarchs who are playing him like the idiot that he is. We share some of the week's highlights in this edition of Minyard & Minyard do the Resistance.

Hard to believe that we're only something like six weeks into our new reality. The whole world is coming to the accurate realization that they cannon, and should not, depend on America. We are not a trustworthy people or nation. The whole concept of "American Exceptionalism" -- if it ever actually was a thing -- is now a punchline. We discuss. And Robert De Niro has some thoughts to close us out.
