The Resistance for Dummies (TL-539)
Charles Bursell Presents
Hey Democrats, do your job or get out of the way for those who will. Also, nobody except numbskull neocons favor Netanyahu’s illegal war, and political violence is not only immoral, it’s downright stupid.

Toy Soldiers (TL-538)
Charles Bursell Presents
The week was particularly violent, both in the real world and in the cosplaying Chickenhawk In Chief’s fascist reality TV show. Still dangerous, the Regime is backpedaling while the resistance ascends.

Defund the Despots (CBP-100)
Charles Bursell Presents
Show Notes: The Resistance has room to grow. Don’t ask, demand. American Fascists are miles ahead of their Twentieth Century counterparts. The press fails to cover Hegseth and covers for him. The Regime’s ideological purity test includes a pro-Capitalist pledge. Turn off the video, audio is superior. Harvard’s free online classes. How to unplug the Tech-Bro Monarchs forever: abolish money.

The ICE Man Cometh (TL-537)
Charles Bursell Presents
Some needed context in the cold and lawless attack on immigrants: The Regime bolsters its cruel authoritarian project, who the police swore to serve and protect, for-profit media lies, the discipline of nonviolence, the difference between protest rallies and direct action, and corporate Dems usurp the resistance.

Standing Up (TL-536)
Charles Bursell Presents
LA protesters stand up to ICE, Elon Musk’s political rapid unscheduled disassembly, the German Chancellor schools the Orange Clown in front of the world, and in a victory for due process, Kilmar is back on US soil to face down trumped-up charges.

Kill the Bill (TL-535)
Charles Bursell Presents
The big bill is as bad as you’ve heard – transferring wealth to the rich while gutting essential health and safety regulations – and much, much worse: like guaranteeing certain death for hundreds of thousands who rely on subsidized health or international aid. Oh, and it “legalizes” American Fascism. Think I’m exaggerating? Read the bill. Then kill it.

WTF Happened to Joni Ernst? (TL-534)
Charles Bursell Presents
The MAGA pod people, a sad collection of dorks and bastards who rely on hate and lies to hold power, have snatched the Iowa Senator. Plus: Gaza is one giant war crime, a moral victory for West Point, and free thinking may not be what you think it is.

Imagine Democracy (TL-533)
Charles Bursell Presents
From Gaza to Ukraine to the latest Orange Menace mayhem, imagine how each story would be different if we lived in a real democracy. And then, let every decision you make, and every action you take, demand that democracy.

Leftovers (CBP-99)
Charles Bursell Presents
Several years (from the 90s to today) of questionable audio bits, improv, tests, and outtakes swept off the cutting room floor and tossed into a goofy collage episode. Enjoy!

Let Them Eat Tariffs (TL-532)
Charles Bursell Presents
The Big Abomination Bill gives 25% of total tax cuts to the Super Wealthy (top 0.1%) and 66% to the Just Plain Wealthy. The Working Poor will LOSE a thousand dollars a year they already don’t have. The good news: They will probably fail spectacularly. The bad news: ICE is still the F-ing Gestapo.
info_outlineCorruption and incompetence still define the regime even as they seem to be riffing wildly on policy. Will enough Americans resist, or will they trade their freedom for a place in the new authoritarian bourgeoisie. www.charlesbursell.com
