Episodes
As Trump finishes his purge of honest lawyers, an unlikely group of heroes emerge to whisper to a battered nation to keep the faith - to believe that the light of democracy still shines, even in our darkest hours.
Drunk on the power of newly minted immunity from a twisted and corrupt Supreme Court, Don the Dictator turns his wrath again any honest Justice lawyer that dares to swear an oath to The Constitution instead of him. Courageous, patriotic lawyers are harassed, attacked, fired, and targeted for retaliation when they refuse to kiss Trump's ring.
Don the Con floods the Department of Justice with minions and morons as he transforms a venerated legal institution into his legal attack dogs.
As Trump looks to consolidate power, he moves aggressively to silence and eliminate dissenting voices.
Trump's desire to destroy our most fundamental right - the right to free speech has spread to the free press. Here's how he's doing it - from his idiot renaming of the Gulf of America to strongarming TV networks to the tune of $67 million and counting. That sure does buy a lot of crayons and coloring books for the Trump Presidential Library.
Donald Trump is not satisfied with whoring out the presidency to line his own pockets. He also wants to use the powers of the state to become a dictator.
Let's explore how Trump is exploiting the murder of Charlie Kirk to strangle the most fundamental of American rights - free speech.
So, how much money has Trump made from his crypto schemes, and what happens to the rest of us if he crashes the American Dollar?
In the 90s, the mob scammed millions of people by pumping and dumping millions of dollars of worthless stock on the American Public. 30 years later, a mutant strain has emerged - an old turd in a pretty new dress. But instead of being run by the Five Mob Families of New York, this time the President of the United States runs the racket.
Tump wield his presidential power like a ganster. This week we'll explore how he scams the Secret Service, sells out our national security to wet his beak and skims off the top. Like any good gangster, Don the Don uses his crime family to shake people down and make them offers they literally can't refuse.
Besides being a con man, Donald Trump also likes to act like a gangster. Looking at his rackets via the lens of a mafia don shaking down his neighbors helps explain why Trump is so blatantly corrupt. We being by exploring Trump's version of an ancient mafia racket: Pay for Play.
A successful Con man relies on external and internal distractions to mesmerize his mark and pull off a grift.

For decades, Don the Con rode waves of crazy conspiracy theories to personal and political glory. But now, the monster he built has come for him as MAGA and QAnon rebels against his attempts to repress and bury the Epstein Files.
As a talented con man, Trump has mastered the art of framing. But his creepy and pervy history with adult women, teenagers, and underage girls - especially his daughter Ivanka - haunts him as former MAGA allies turn against him.
So how does a con man work his magic? It all begins with framing - controlling the narrative to mesmerize the masses and control critics. Even enemies are forced to fight on your battlefield, on your terms.
He that controls the frame, controls the game.
Russian intelligence and the Trump campaign focus on Facebook to microtarget American voters likely to fear immigrant boogeymen sent to "replace them"
Why did Putin go so hard for Trump in 2016?
From his hatred of Hillary, to his funding a massive sabotage campaign for the 2016 election, Putin did everything possible to put Trump in office. Not because he thought Trump was brilliant, as Trump believes, but because he considers him to be colorful, aka, a clown.
What is the point of Fake News? What is it actually designed to do? And who is behind it (spoiler alert: who is Trump deferential and meek around)?
How does a crazy story about Hillary Clinton, Comet Ping Pong Pizza, and a pedophile ring spread like wildfire that results in gunfire and chaos?
By successfully rebranding Fake News from combatting misinformation to smearing any news that he doesn't like, Trump destroys the ability of most Americans to separate fact from fiction.
Trump's rivals and critics finally get a chance to respond to Trump's endless taunts and insults face-to-face. Can anybody finally land a counterpunch or does Teflon Don slip away yet again?
Mainstream media gives Trump $2 billion of free coverage, and journalists who resist quickly discover they face a mission impossible and are "disavowed" by their peers and networks.
