Daily Kos Radio - Kagro In The Morning

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin bring us another KITM from under another cloud of another mass shooting or two or three or four. The shooters look pretty Trumpy, therefore the national focus will be more on the venue, at least until we get a better look at what’s been Sharpied on the bullets. Meanwhile, the Keystone ICE yakety saxes their brand of terror through major cities… though suddenly not Portland, Oregon as Trump either TACOs or snaps out of his dementia, temporarily. National Guard troops will now be redeployed to South Park, Colorado. The disappointingly non-fictional Donald K. Trump promoted a completely fake Trump hawkering a phony product.  Whether Trump believes anything he says or not, you are expected to believe it or else. The QAnon Shaman says he’s the rightful president. At this point, he could be. James Comey's indictment is real, but the case against him is imaginary. Everybody will lose if the government shuts down. Trump will pretend to win or blame it on trans people. As long as Mike Jo

David Waldman shoves us through the gateway to chaos, then runs over to Monday with a giant catcher’s mitt. On the Day of Rapture, Donald K. Trump found that couldn’t even go up on an escalator. He cried like a dog about that at the UN along with everything else outside of when he wasn’t braggadocio do-do-ing. People have determined that he is nuts, including, bit by bit, the mainstream media and even a few Republicans. Ok, so Trump’s crazy, now what? Who and whose army is going to stop him? Pete Hic-seth has invited hundreds of senior military officers to party down in Virginia with him, open bar all night! Let’s see whose strategy can handle him. Europe has already entered World War III. Strange offspring of Halliburton and the Culligan Man, Lindsey Halligan, checked one more off Trump’s enemy list. (The list that ends with you.) Today it’s James Comey turn with a grand jury indictment, show trial, hundreds of hours of Fox coverage, etc. The verdict is irrelevant. Pam Bondi is transferring the people Joe Bi

David Waldman is back at it, but without Greg Dworkin who is out working on home renovations. Donald K. Trump wants Russia to give Ukraine back some of its cards so they can play another round. If that doesn’t work, he will just call Ukraine “Uzbekistan” and sell them 22,787 Dreamliners. It's not just that Trump is nuts, he’s stupid, and dangerous. At least the cornfield kid wasn’t such a whiner! The UN escalator worked just fine for Nobel Prize winner President Obama. Trump’s UN address was a tragedy of Shakespearian proportions, performed by an actual fool. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark... Whether tis Putin or not Putin, that is the question. Oh look, there’s some Russian warplanes over Alaska… probably nothing. Trump’s youth support has faded. At least with those who didn’t vote for the Lulz. The problem with being an edgelord is eventually the edge. Trump will always redefine the edge as the middle to solve that problem.  Meanwhile, we head toward another government shutdown. Gops see this a

See? It wasn’t the end of the world! David Waldman, and Greg Dworkin are back on the air! So is Jimmy Kimmel! That is all thanks to “We the People”, and not just those of us who were binging as fast as possible to maybe get around to cancelling Disney+… and we would have too! But also, those standing up to ABC from everywhere to demand accountability, including people that they actually knew and cared about. Donald K. Trump will not be tuning in. (He totally watched every minute.) Many stations still won’t air the show. Did you know that “stations” still... “air” ... “shows”? Everyone agrees that Trump seems to have experienced a massive “masterstroke” at the UN yesterday, perhaps a series of them. Donald will be autopenning his posts for a while. We also welcome back Jeffery Epstein, who became impossible to suspend, either by executive or royal decree. Arizona’s special election could give Dems enough votes to make Mike Johnson’s job holding fig leaves in place a lot tougher. Let’s see Trump Article 2 himse

David Waldman wishes us all a sweet future, unless your plans revolve around the future “ending”... then, well, good for you too. Donald K. Trump has not been trumpeted into heaven as of this writing, but he does know Hell. Trump informed UN members that they will be going there soon. ICE is deporting any laws controlling them straight to Hell. A federal judge saw Trump’s NYT defamation lawsuit as 85 pages of Hell. But Donald says that couldn’t be when it’s all about an angel. Trump hates anyone who does not love him. Stephen Miller hates everyone. Everyone hates Stephen Miller. Trump does not love Russians invading Estonian airspace, but what can you do? Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski are becoming disgruntled by their own incompetence, while disgruntled DOGE Leland Dudek “pretended” to be incompetent in order to bust Big Balls and friends. The Bureau of Labor Statistics may seem suddenly incompetent but can’t avoid becoming disgruntled with a boss like E.J. Antoni. Texas Gop Brian Harrison isn’t at all co

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are out tomorrow for a little R&R… Rosh Hashanah and Rapture. Depending on how that goes, they’ll be back on Wednesday! “Autism” was coined in 1911. Acetaminophen was marketed 40 years later. Tylenol hit the market in 1955, one year after RFK Jr. was born... COINCIDENCE? Yes. Just another of the many coincidences that you can point to, that did not cause your child’s autism. Not coincidentally, RFK Jr. stock is dropping about as fast as Tylenol’s. Jimmy Kimmel is saved by a TACO. Charlie Kirk, meanwhile, is still dead. Not officially a saint, but definitely a martyr for whatever cause a MAGA could imagine. Charlie was a man of steel, just one tiny bit less bullet resistant than Trump but with a heart of gold that Donald will gladly sell to the highest bidder. Trad wife no more, Nepo/DEI hire Erika Kirk discovers that Tyler Robinson was not black, a Dem, a woman or even antifa, so of course she forgives him. Nürnberg vibes filled the air as DJ Stephen Miller spun the hits of

Chaos doesn’t take the weekend off, but David Waldman does, so apocalypse later, make it Monday, ok? Trump’s ouster of Jimmy Kimmel Is much worse than you think it is… maybe even worse than I think it is! The remaining late-night hosts satirically bowed to Trump, but it kind of felt like a rehearsal while old Charlie Kirk Show scripts are being loaded into their teleprompters. Trump and MAGA have no problem with their pronouns, “they” is never “them”, no matter how much they seem like them. Trump will exterminate all of them… or “they” … Obviously, the only way to defend against something like this would be to hire more dipshits for the dumbasses to yell at. And they had better be real dipshits too, because any dumbass can tell if you’re just pretending to be a dipshit by just looking at you. Case in point, U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert will be fired for not pressing false charges against Letitia James, while Ed Martin is free to McGruff cosplay outside James’ house. The case against Lisa Cook is in tatters, whi

Greg Dworkin took a break from supervising the construction of his new walk-in shower to join us and KITM and David Waldman for our Thursday chat. Trump had Jimmy Kimmel disappeared in broad daylight yesterday... ABC wanted to do its part in building the national information hegemony and FCC chair Brendan Carr was happy to lend them a hand, one way or the other. Every person that Trump wanted to anger or sadden has been angered or saddened by the news. Teddy Roosevelt would have been against this treason, and the monopolies too. Oh no, now Stephen King too! Now ABC has been cancelled! (It’s the Australian one though, as if that mattered to Trump.) In order to streamline the administration’s persecution efforts, all “woke” will henceforth be known as “Antifa”, and illegal. All “Groypers” will be “Leftists” until further notice.      Charlie Kirk hasn’t yet been added to the Pledge of Allegiance, because Trump has dibs on that slot. They might mandate that his tiny little face be etched into all Confederate sta

David Waldman picked a heck of a day to declare war on Boliva, without his Sundance, Greg Dworkin, here to cover him. Donald K. Trump keeps smiting Caribbean fishermen from a distance instead of selling MAGA bonus closeups of their faces sinking beneath the waves. Even ball-crushing John Woo is beginning to wonder if we might just be the baddies in this one. Keep Woo’s copy of the Constitution, we can use it between Gop administrations.  Red alert! Has this Antichrist-led holy war crossed its Rubicon? Hmm, that’s some spicy rhetoric! Mike Johnson’s son’s phone is getting steamy with that one. Our enemies overseas are helping fan those fires that the Right are fanning, as if they needed any help. South Koreans are pretty shocked by how they’ve been treated out in the wild west and might take an approximately 1,220 day or so break before returning. Stephen Miller would love to have them all back, as he needs to deport them a few dozen more times to reach quota. An ABC reporter asked Trump a question and Donald

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin voice the patriotic, uplifting, free thinking that this nation needs and deserves. Accept no substitutes! You know Tyler Robinson. Tyler can check that box off, although you, and humanity in general seem to be an abstract concept to him.  What outsiders don’t get is that Tyler loaded his rifle with skibidi bullets to join the Pepe elite in brain rot Valhalla… And, to show the sort of love that only he and Mark David Chapman can truly understand. Utah Governor Spencer Cox hoped this wasn’t about him. None of us do. Plenty of others where Tyler came from. Some people think of Charlie Kirk as an inspirational, encouraging speaker. Some people see him as a speaker who inspired and encouraged violence and hatred. Charlie demonstrated how one could be both. Plenty of others where Charlie came from.  No one can say a bad word about Kirk. Not if they want to keep their job… or life. Kari Lake has noticed that school shootings keep occurring at schools. MAGA knows that no true MAGA would

Today David Waldman welcomes the distinguished Ian Reifowitz, author of Riling Up the Base: Examining Trump’s Use of Stereotypes through an Interdisciplinary Lens, to connect the dots interdisciplinarily between Donald K. Trump riling up his base and the stuff we’re presently going through. Trump will certainly receive his long sought-after Pulitzer Prize after scooping the entire lamestream media to report that his boy Kash Patel finally caught his man, with some assistance from Matt Robinson, a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff’s Department and father of the alleged shooter Tyler Robinson… Yep, cis, white, Christian, Republican, gun nut, Trump fan Tyler Robinson…  Here we all were thinking that we witnessed a political assassination, when it kind of looks like Charlie Kirk might have just shot himself. Let’s learn more about guns! Slap that like! Pity the poor Gops and Trump who required a Horst Wessel to carry them into the midterms. Oh well, back to that Ukranian girl. Meanwhile, South Kore

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin bring us another KITM under the cloud of another beloved celebrity death, multiple award-winning actress, Polly Holliday. RIP, kiss her grits. We are also under a cloud of another mass school shooting. At Evergreen High School in Colorado a student shot two peers, then himself.  Also, at Utah Valley University, only one man was shot, but it’s sure causing some hubbub!  VP Just Dance Vance is dropping everything and rushing to the scene. Donald K. Trump is ordering flags to half-staff… or even HALFER staff. Who knows, Trump could put some national holiday on this date to memorialize him. MSNBC sacrificed a pundit in his honor. South Park might cancel itself after this. Gops fall on their knees in prayer before declaring a Jihad against the infidel lefties. Never fear, Kash Patel is here! …If there are any agents left to assign to the case. Breaking: Police have apprehended a rifle, but as guns don’t kill people, they had to release it. The US shot those Venezuelans in the back, t

Ever wake with a start and wonder what David Waldman thinks about a subject? How about Greg Dworkin? Rest easy, they’re both here today! Booooooooo! Donald K. Trump hiked, or maybe was carried on a litter, to a quite local restaurant in order to win a food-related dare from a reporter. (He’d eat anything if you dared him to.)  You’d be amazed at what some people will do if you are their source of food. Hey! WHERE the WHITE women AT? Always on the lookout, Donald located one in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is lucky (for him) as surprisingly, white women are worth 6 times more than a black woman! Nonetheless, non-whites and Democrats sure add up if you can keep scoring. Speaking of two weeks, that is when you can expect the Epstein files, as Dems keep racking up their scores and Trump suuuuuuucks. Until then, Trump’s art of the birthday card will carry us through. Jim Jordan doesn’t buy it. Jim knows that Trump was running for president in… 2009… that’s about 10 years since Jim began crying like a dog and b

David Waldman is back to tell it like it is and was. Eee-Ew! The Jeffrey Epstein birthday book has been released, the Trump-Epstein birthday letter has been revealed, and it’s real, it’s bad, and it sure is icky, much like many of its participants. Donald was certain that we all agreed the issue killed itself in its cell and was long gone and buried by now, but apparently that isn’t the case. The Trump Supreme Court lifted restrictions on roving patrols and racial profiling on immigration stops, but you better believe they weren’t talking about people wearing lederhosen and alpine hats. The Supreme Court also allowed Trump to fire the FTC commissioner, which of course goes against precedent. It would go against precedent to shut the whole place down and walk away, but here we are. Gops take their tit for tat for tit with Dems to Defcon 2 on Monday. Chuck Schumer tells them they might rue the day that they go Defcon 1… RUE He tells ya! Want to know more about “Discharge Petition No. 9”? Discharge procedure in

David Waldman catches us up on the multiple disasters since Friday. Greg Dworkin catches us up on the multiple disasters since Thursday. Boooo! Trump was booooooooed at the US Open. If they don’t want to hear boos, they shouldn’t invite Trump. Or Winsome Earle-Sears. Tiny hands, deep throat, Donald K. Trump was an FBI Snitch according to Mike Johnson, the last guy anyone would trust to keep a secret. The Miami Herald and New York Times seek to unseal records on Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, while we all know that Jeffrey Epstein and everyone on the Epstein list has been brought to you by capitalism.  Zohran Mamdanimentum continues as Americans are beginning to see capitalism about as badly as they do Trump. LG Energy specialists squeezed into 90+ day rotations to set up a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia were caught in violation of that “+” part, were belly-chained and hauled out of the country. The plant they were setting up won’t be hiring Americans any time soon, thanks to Karen-Republican Mar-a-Lago wannabe T

David Waldman opens up the Friday Firehose! Donald K. Trump will sign an order renaming small condoms to “large”. Also, war is “peace” and Pete Hegseth and Ronny Jackon are “sober”. Our friends are becoming our enemies, and our enemies are... still our enemies, but becoming each other’s friends. Russia still likes appreciates enjoys us, though. So much for moving jobs back to the US, as construction of a Hyundai plant was halted when ICEISIS apprehended 500 workers. Children were almost kidnapped to Guatemala, but Judge Sparkle Sooknanan said NO at 4 AM Sunday Labor Day morning. Folks around the White House sure have been kicking themselves about the Abrego Garcia case, especially in the way they allowed Garcia to continue to exist. This oversight has been rectified for all future cases, beginning with 11 never-to-be-interviewed guys in a little skiff off the coast of Venezuela. Navy SEALs encountered a bunch of North Korean witnesses in 2019, and you don’t see Senators or the Times parading them around, do y

David Waldman calls 'em like he sees 'em. Greg Dworkin calls 'em like they was. But they ain't nothin' till KITM calls 'em. Roll call! Thomas Massie is joined by empathetic Democrats and a few traumatized Republicans in a discharge petition to force a floor vote on his “Epstein Files Transparency Act.” Nancy Mace was so shaken that she almost forgot who her daddy was. Epstein survivors float release of an unofficial client list, but with all this talk of Epstein victims, will anyone remember the Epstein victors? RFK Jr. tried to sell Senators his snake oil but found few takers. Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo earned his Black Florida Republican bonafides, urging Floridians to earn their PhDs in virology before it’s too late. The West Coast Health Alliance will ally to maintain west coast health. Putin, Xi and Kim aren’t waiting around and are planting their organ orchards today. Harvard wins! Trump’s freeze on research funds was declared unconstitutional. Where did you get the idea that they’ve been los

David Waldman brings us the Wednesday KITM, on Wednesday, as expected, and as expected on a Wednesday, Greg Dworkin, who’s here to ask, “Health and wellness, but whose?” Well, not yours, that’s for sure. This month RFK Jr. plans to announce which of the four humors is responsible for autism, but Bob is definitely certain that most children could use at least a little letting. Meanwhile, Donald K. Trump is dead, he just doesn’t know it yet because he hasn’t seen it on TV. It turns out that when Donald was seen doing his “Stanky Leg” in public, it wasn’t all about his stanky leg... It might have been even worse, if you can imagine that. By the way, Trump will only die when the majority of MAGA says he has, so look for that in maybe in a few generations. Sadly, for Donald, the Nobel Committee only hands out their prize on the 10th war averted, and it doesn’t seem that Vlad will be punching his ticket on that. Xi Jinping sends a message to Trump, the message that he just doesn’t know how to throw a cool parade. J

David Waldman and KITM are back to begin the month that will most likely end with a government shutdown, which sounds bad only if you consider what we have now to be better than nothing. Donald K. Trump cancelled $4.9B in foreign aid under the Presidential “Taksies Backsies” Rule. Many say that he can’t do that. Only 5 are actually required to say that he can do that. Trump says that he captured $8 Trillion in tariff revenue, which would have been much bigger had he’d been able to pronounce the names of numbers bigger than a trillion. Trump also stated that Washington DC is crime free and that he’s never felt better. That’s why the stock market doesn’t seem to mind. Things are never what Trump says, he’ll always TACO, and there’ll always be somebody in the Fed to protect them.   US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick has nepo babied investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald, which has his sons become richer with every TACO Trump serves. RFK Jr. knows mitochondria like Trump knows blockchain, in that they know that thei
