While France's Marie Le Pen is banned from office and serving a prison term, the even bigger criminal and threat to civilization, Donald Trump, is serving a dangerous second term in office. Why can't the United States hold him accountable?
••••••UPDATE••••••
Marie Le Pen has been banned from public office and sentenced to prison.

Le Pen has been banned from running for political office for five years after being found guilty of embezzling European Union funds.

A Paris court delivered Le Pen a four-year prison sentence,…

In which we talk about Nevermore's Prog Metal Star Search and how poorly that could go.
Jeff Loomis and Van Williams reunite to form Nevermore 2.0 (Warrel's dead and Jeff wasn't invited) and hold open internet auditions for a new singer and bass player.
@buffalo70.bsky.social and I discuss if this will produce good new music or just CONTENT

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Every Democrat who doesn't have a press conference in front of a bridge or road project that just got "paused" by tomorrow morning is derelict in their duty.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.

It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

This is the good stuff, folks. Come on in and stay a while.
Episode 88

Is Opeth BACK or is Mike just dumping his last good ideas? Do we love the album concept or are we annoyed that the song titles are a character I don't know how to type? Does this prog metal album achieve the jazz?

None of these questions and more...

Nearly every single Republican voted against releasing the Matt Gaetz ethics report.

Remember this the next time they pretend to care about protecting minors.

6 month old Podcast, but it's new to you! (The cast, not the record, sorry)
New (very old) episode of Your Music Is Bad

I both became gainfully employed and had to move within a few months so I've been very bad at editing episodes, but all that is over now.

Please enjoy our 6 months late review of Seven Spires: A Fortress Called Home!
