The Lean to the Left Podcast

So the other night at a rally in Georgia, packed with red MAGA hatted supporters, President Trump joked that if he loses to Joe Biden he might have to leave the country. Here’s what I say: OK, Mr. Trump: Go ahead. Pack your bags.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

Everybody knows that a fly landed on Vice President Mike Pence’s head at the VP presidential debate and pretty much became the star of the show.But what if that fly had actually taken over the moderator’s microphone and asked the questions of Pence and Democratic Senator Kamala Harris?Well, we imagined that on Not Fake News.

Tonight, Donald Trump stepped off the presidential helicopter, Marine 1, after having been flown from Walter Reed Medical Center back to the White House, walked up a set of stairs and into the Blue Room of the White House, the open doors flanked with American flags.The first thing he did was remove his mask. He was seen posing before a video camera, as loyal aides apparently shot a video, presumably to be used to demonstrate what a super human is this president who conquered the coronavirus.On one day he was stricken, on the third day he returned home to sit on his throne at White House. The video will tell the story.Meanwhile, how many people inside the helicopter and inside the Blue Room did he infect? That is, of course, if he REALLY has Covid-19.That’s my commentary from Not Fake News for this evening.

Tragically, Donald Trump and the first lady have contracted Covid-19, and the president has been taken to Walter Reed National Medical Center for treatment. He’ll be in quarantine for 10 days.A lot of commentators from the left are secretly – or not so secretly – rejoicing. Not so, here. I’m hoping he gets better because we certainly don’t need any more upheaval before the election.However, he may have done us all a favor by contracting Covid – because now maybe his nut case followers will suddenly realize that maybe that mask thing isn’t such a bad idea.That’s my commentary from Not Fake News for this evening.

Anybody who watched that horrendous performance by Donald Trump in the presidential debate last night must have been horrified at the brazen bullying that he displayed, targeting both Joe Biden and the moderator, Chris Wallace.Frankly, I was so saddened by it all that I was unable to write, but thankfully, Susan Hutchinson came through with her blog on Not Fake News.biz.

So we learned today from the New York Times, which published a brilliant investigative report about Donald Trump’s taxes, that the president paid $750 in personal federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017, and zero taxes in the decade before.I just read a tweet from a student who said she paid more than that working 39 hours a week at Starbucks.Come on, man…is that right?Take a listen to my commentary, “Trump Tax Cheat,” published on Not Fake News.biz.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

A Trump official says a report by the Government Accountability Office about the administration’s Covid 19 response was the work of a “useful idiot.” Well, we think that the administration’s response actually was the work of a “useless idiot.”And while we’re talking about idiots, Donald Trump gives himself an A+ on how he’s handled the pandemic. Really? With 200,000 deaths and counting, he did a great job?That’s our commentary today, with my blog on Not Fake News, “Pandemic Response: The Work of a “Useless Idiot” and a companion piece by Chris Waldron, “Trump: Making the Grade,” which I’ll narrate.Take a listen.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

Increasing income inequality is costing most Americans thousands of dollars every year in their paychecks and has made the coronavirus more deadly and its economic consequences more severe than in any other advanced nation in the world.That is the conclusion of Nick Hanauer and David M. Rolf who reported in TIME about new analysis from the RAND Corporation, which estimates that "upward redistribution" of income benefiting the top 1 percent of Americans has cost the bottom 90 percent some $50 trillion over the past four decades.We’ll take a look at all of this in tonight’s podcast from Not Fake News.

Donald Trump says he told us to "stay calm" about the coronavirus to avoid panic. But he tries to scare us every day into voting for him. He does it over and over again, trying to use his “Law and Order” theme to prove he’ll keep us nice and safe from all those horrible acts by those who actually want to be treated fairly under the law in order for them to be safe.That’s the topic of today’s podcast from Not Fake News.biz.

Well, today The Atlantic came out with an article detailing comments Donald Trump has made denigrating our military, including those who have been injured and made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.Obviously, that made a lot of news as it should have. But what struck me the most was a comment he made to former Chief of Staff Gen. John F. Kelly as they stood at the graveside of Kelly’s son, who was killed in Afghanistan.Trump reportedly asked him, “I don’t get it. What was in it for him?”That was typical Trump. Everything is all about him, and he can’t understand why anyone would have any motive for anything, including military service, if it was not all about them.So take a listen… to “What Was In It for Him?" from Not Fake News.biz.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

With his continuing divisive rhetoric and appeals to the far right, Donald Trump is causing a modern day civil war, one that some fear could see our nation descend into fascism.The war isn't with opposing armies in grey and blue squaring off with muskets and bayonets and fighting over slavery, but rather with red hatted Trump supporters who still cling to those beliefs of White superiority and racial hatred. They are views spawned by Trump, their hero president. They take his every word, lies and all, as gospel clashing with, and even killing, fellow Americans who believe differently -- including those who support the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and believe systemic racial injustice must be ended.So take a listen… to “On the Road to Facism?” from Not Fake News.biz.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

The Trump administration’s mail slowdown, which coincides with Trump’s warning that mail-in ballots won’t be delivered on time to be counted, has had a lot of other consequences that have nothing to do with politics.

We’re going to start off today with a quick commercial – it’s for our new book, Hijacked Nation…Donald Trump’s attack on America’s greatness.We’re having a really cool countdown sale starting Monday, August 24, when the price of the digital edition will drop from $9.99 to $5.99 – a 41 percent savings. But you gotta act fast, because on Tuesday it’ll go up a buck, then another buck on Wednesday and again on Thursday, with the regular price returning on Friday.It’s a terrific book, with commentary on key developments over the past three years and demonstrating how this president has, indeed, hijacked our nation.

You know, mostly all politicians suffer from outsized egos, but “saving the world?” Even for Trump, that’s a stretch.Then, we’ll switch to commentary written by Chris Waldron for Not Fake News.biz in which he speculates who the “Anon” is in QAnon.

With more than 173 thousand dead from the coronavirus – another one just was recorded as I write this – Donald Trump spent much of yesterday acting like a child…whining that the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company won’t allow employees to wear MAGA hats on the job.He was so obsessed by that fact that he told reporters he just might have Goodyear tires removed from the presidential limo and replaced with another brand.That, of course, was before he went on his tweetstorm last night during the Democratic National Convention, where he continued his ALL CAPS whining about President Obama.Yikes!So here’s our take on the Goodyear fiasco.

The other day, Donald Trump predicted that he’ll win reelection and then claimed he’ll get another four years on top of that. Never mind that the Constitution doesn’t exactly allow that, or that he’s currently in the dumpster when compared to Joe Biden.And then, Michelle Obama played him like a Stradivarius when she threw back in his face his comment “It is what it is” when referring to the thousands who have died from the coronavirus pandemic.So here’s our take on all of that.

If the coronavirus has taught us one thing, it’s that Donald Trump would rather people die than he lose the election. With each passing day, he finds a new way to let people know how meaningless their lives are compared to his maintaining power.

So Trump admits he’s trying to make it hard, if not impossible, for people to vote by mail. And today, the Postal Service has warned states that mail delays may result in ballots not arriving in time to be counted. If that isn’t trying to fix the election in advance, I don’t know what is. That’s the first part of tonight’s podcast from NFN Radio News. Part Two is from a blog by Chris Waldron on Not Fake News.biz in which he comments about Fox News Judge Jenine’s mysterious suggestion that Joe Biden won’t even be on the ballot come November.

Yesterday and today were banner days for Donald Trump’s duplicity, fakery and lies. It started at his posh resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he said he’d issue an executive order to protect pre-existing conditions.Uh, Obamacare already does that.Then, today, he issued some more executive orders, supposedly to provide $400 in emergency unemployment benefits for the coronavirus unemployed, provide a holiday from paying Social Security taxes, and more.Trouble is all of that is full of holes.So, that’s the topic of today’s podcast from Not Fake News.

We all know that Donald Trump will stop at nothing to preserve his presidency. How many times has he floated that idea that he should be given a third term or even made president for life?There is no end to his ego, his greed, or his thirst for power.Now, he’s suggesting that the November 3rd election should be delayed because of the unreliability of postal delivery of mail-in ballots, which he says will be fraught with fraud.And while he’s doing that, he’s sabotaging the Postal Service, imposing cutbacks that are resulting in the very delays he’s supposedly worried about.What a crock!That’s the topic of today’s podcast from Not Fake News.

Chief Harold “Buster” Hatcher of the Waccamaw Indian People in South Carolina is waging a persistent war to gain recognition for his people, saying that they, like Native Americans across the nation, are virtually “invisible.”“I don’t think anybody should have to be ‘recognized’ to have the rights guaranteed in the Constitution,” he says. “It doesn’t say in the Constitution ‘unless you’re an Indian.’”Those rights include freedom of religion, a right to equal pay for equal work, and even the right to provide a proper burial for Indian ancestors.Take a listen to this interview with Chief Hatcher, which also is featured on Not Fake News.biz, and on the Not Fake News YouTube channel.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

It doesn’t matter that nearly 135,000 Americans have died from covid 19 and that the caseload and death count continues to rise, Donald Trump and his idiot education secretary, Betsy DeVos, insist that schools need to reopen and that teachers and kids must be in the classroom.Trump doesn’t give a rats’ ass about kids being in school. What he cares about is creating the impression that everything is OK and to make it possible for parents to go to work.Why does he care about that?So maybe, just maybe, the economy will do a magic rebound just in time for him to pull out a victory on November 3 and win re-election. That’s his motive, and you can’t tell me it’s not.My colleague, Chris Waldron, is a college professor in South Carolina and he’s got some thoughts about all of this in today’s podcast.

Why is it that so many people refuse to wear face coverings when they are out in public? What’s up with that?
