    MAGA Falls In Line As Trump Defends Iran War *MONDAY SHOW 6/23*

    After bombing three nuclear facilities in Iran, Trump says NOW, nowww it's time for peace. But will it be that simple? As Israel and Iran continue to trade missile attacks — with no real ceasefire established— Francesca takes stock of this ill-fated decision to bomb yet another country in the Middle East. So long as Netanyahu wants conflict it seems, the U.S. will be mired in conflict. When will politicians on either side of the aisle grow a pair?

    The World After Trump

    Trump might try and be king, but the billionaires who back him and far more concerned with their reign. Someday Donald Trump and the movement that got him elected will be gone. And the billionaires who back him won't care. Because they have other plans. This is the story of how deeply un-american the billionaires who buy our politicians are, from their disregard for democracy, their freak-outs over equality, or the fact that they want to secede from the United States altogether. The broligarchy has no regard for this country. A lot of them aren't even from here! And now their dystopic plans for the United States have come out of the shadows and into the light.
