This week we’re discussing Donald Trump’s insistence that there’s nothing wrong with America that can’t be solved by simply denying your insatiable appetite for ever more dolls and pencils. Does the president’s suspicion of all trade speak to the existential malaise of the modern American cursed to live in a time of obscene overconsumption, a people incapable of listening to their inner moral conscience in the face of so many tempting glittering baubles? Is the wage of living hypocritical lives in contradiction of our values a collective victimhood that prevents us from accepting responsibility for our actions? Are we a nation of fucking babies? Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here.

It’s been 100 days since Donald Trump took office for the second time, and we celebrate by talking about literally anything else for the first hour or so, including tales of greedy, scheming children, their spineless parents, and drug-addled weirdos trying to steal from the youth baseball concession stand. After all of that we yap about a few things we missed in the first months of the second Trump presidency, and also the sports news of the week. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
