2024-04-0900 minCoffee And A Car RideDirty Liberal Talk AmericaOn this episode I want to go a little deeper into our exploration of America as a republic or a democracy, and what that means. With how divided our nation still is and a presidential election coming, the likelihood of electing an autocrat seems to be looming in our future. I want to understand whether the reality that our nation isn’t a true democracy, but a republic, affects anyone’s perception of our nation. I am joined this time around by my very funny and knowledgeable colleague, who has asked to be called “The Dirty Liberal”. I hope you enjoy it...
2024-03-2248 minCoffee And A Car RideA Republic?Very recently the argument has been made that democracy in our nation is not at risk because America is not a democracy, but a constitutional republic. Because of this, only certain portions of the population have full rights, like white, Christian men. But is this true? In this informative episode we discuss this precarious topic.

2024-02-1910 minCoffee And A Car RideA Vein Full of Fentanyl, A Nose Full Of NarcanAccording to the CDC, 150 people die every day from fentanyl-related overdoses. Annually, this is the equivalent of a 737 commercial airplane crashing every day. Yet despite this horrific reality, it has become something that has been swept under the rug, or used by politicians as a way of fear-mongering to win votes. The idea, the inkling of a real conversation, is fiercely debated, and now tossed aside unless it is used for optics. In this episode, we are joined by an activist, Moses Santana, who has been advocating for one of the highly debated responses to this health crisis: overdose prevention...
2024-01-151h 41Coffee And A Car RideStooge DictatorRecently everyone has been blabbing about how Trump is a wannabe dictator. All the sewing circles are analyzing the comments and speeches that Trump has made exclaiming his petty policy ideas. The question of Trump being a dictator is scary but what is scary is the kind of Dictator. A Stoogish one, whose tyranny will be one of cruel hypocritical ironic idiocy. That is what we have to be concerned with. A Stooge Dictator.

2023-12-2208 minCoffee And A Car RideCareful What You Wish ForIt is said that you should be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Recently that is exactly what happened with the GOP and the Freedom Caucus when Hunter Biden responded to their subpoena by offering to testify publicly in Congress. When that occurred Republicans got scared, and they rejected it. Their big chance to humiliate and prove the corruption of the Biden’s and Republicans drop the ball. Why? Maybe it is true, you should be care what you wish for.

2023-12-1206 minCoffee And A Car RideTaking Candy From A BabyWhat is the easiest thing in the world to do? So easy, that even a scumbag would consider it to be disgraceful? It’s taking candy from a baby. Now while Republicans aren’t doing exactly that, they are taking away everything else from kids. And they are continuing this quest now by changing child labor laws, effectively making it easier for kids, especially migrant kids, to be exploited. They are doing that with the help of corporate America. So it turns out that with the help of big business, there is one thing that is easier that taking candy from...

2023-09-2633 minCoffee And A Car RidePoppa Joe And The OthersConservatives will look for any excuse to try to impeach Joe Biden. Hunter Biden does something and Joe has got to go. If the family dog dry humps a Secret Service Agent then oh snap! Poppa Joe has got to go. Hell, if a squirrel out on the White House lawn drops a half eaten acorn on the grass, then Poppa Joe has got to go. Any redonkulous reason they can come up with, they will use. And they have not disappointed.

2023-08-1717 minCoffee And A Car RideGas Stoves And Fatalist’s TearsRepublicans are fatalistic snowflakes. They are; we can be honest about that. They scold Democrats, and say they are too sensitive and politically correct. But the smallest thing, a tiny change, and they lose their marbles. Take, for instance, gas stoves. Just the mere mention of the idea of updating regulations and replacing those appliances and the entire GOP fell to the floor in fits of rageful indignation. This is the party that holds the majority in the house; and that is what we will be discussing this time around.

Yup, that is right the party that has been all about Trump, and supports all those who are Donny Boy’s bootlickers -no matter what, is starting to fall apart. And we can see this now as they attempt to take out the far-right Trump supporter, the Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton. So, just for a moment, close your

Texas is enacting new legislation that would require kids to be taught battlefield trauma care at school. That is right; kids in Texas will soon be just like Hawkeye Pierce, like 4th grade, baby-faced Hawkeye Pierces, who will be trained to perform meatball surgery on all those people who are being gunned down in Texas right now. Yup. Instead of dealing with the real issue, which is guns, Texas has decided that kids should bare the brunt of it...

They say that we are easily triggered, and meltdown for no reason, and while there may be some truth to some of those claims, there is something that needs to be straightened out. See, what needs to be made clear, especially for a party that claims that the truth is the most important, is that Republicans are fragile. The truth is that they are made of glass. Sure, they may look well put together and strong, and transparent and clear, but the moment the pressure beings to build, they crack, and then shatter...

That is correct my democracy-loving friends, the fear-mongering former bow-tie wonder-turned-demigod is gone. He screwed up, the truth was revealed and his employer cut their losses. Rupert Murdock has finally cut out a troublesome possibly cancerous growth in his media empire. As great as that news is, a very troubling question has not been addressed. Who is going to replace Tucker Carlson? What new scaremongering tight-ass will take the helm in that coveted prime time time slot? On this episode, I rant and rave about this issue.

Yup, that’s right, but it’s not just any sugar daddy; it’s a Nazi-loving and memorabilia-collecting bestie who has given him millions in free trips and private jet rides. All of those things have not been reported by Clarence for more than two decades. What this reveals is that not only is there a need for a code of ethics for Supreme Court Justices, but it also answers a very...
2023-04-2515 minCoffee And A Car RideBogeyman’s PronounsWhile another incident of gun violence occurs in places like Nashville, and another round of demands for gun control is sounded, Republicans have decided to take the blame game to a next level. They have decided to play it straight from their typical biased playbook, and they have pointed nervous fingers at a marginalized population. That population that they now blame is all the rage when it comes to fear-mongering. Think hacky sack with an anthrax coating. They are blaming transgender and all things queer as being a threat to our society. They have even gone as far as to...
2023-04-1116 minCoffee And A Car RideThe Party of ProtectionThere is a pattern that is emerging in the GOP. It is a hypocrisy that is so transparently hidden that it’s translucent. Take for instance their proclaimed goal of being there to protect the children; the only problem is that what they are trying to protect the children from is something that isn’t that much of a threat. Education and Frag story hour are not a true threat to the youth of the nation. It’s guns. The pathetically hilarious reality is that the real threat the party that says it is here to protect children is not protec...
2023-03-1917 minCoffee And A Car RideWhitewashed HistoryVery recently, conservatives changed our concept of history once again. Frightened by the truth of our country’s record, they have banned a new AP class of African American Studies to serve their own selfish needs. The reasoning for this strike against education is simple, racism. A pattern that many could arguably say if allowed and implemented could do serious damage to our nation. In this episode, I discuss how the bath salt capital of the world, Florida, is leading the way in whitewashing our nation’s identity.

2023-02-2118 minCoffee And A Car RidePatriots Use BulletsWith political violence on the rise, there has become a very clear difference between what equates to extremism. That distinction depends on party lines. For Democrats, the ultimate transgression is Far-Right extremism. For Republicans, it is “wokeness” and civil unrest that is the ultimate betrayal. Now while it is true that both are bad, the one thing that seems very clear is that for conservatives violence is ok. It is just peachy for an election denier to claim that the election was stolen from them and attack his opponents with violence. Targeted attacks and violence are ok as opposed to vand...

1
: a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
2
: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings
Now many of us can call out one of the parties as being hypocritical, democrat or republican, and one could argue that Trump is a huge charlatan. One could argue that he is like a colossal ingrown hair on the ass of the country that just keeps causing us discomfort. But now Trump has been shown up, somewhat, by...

One of those changes was the almost IBS style process that was used to choose a new speaker. I say IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, because the forcefulness that seemed to cause our political process get both the runs and gut busting constipation at the exact same time. This is a preview to a Penny Dreadful, sad style sideshow that awaits us as the far-right flexes their muscles. The new GOP majority will be the political IBS...
2023-01-1213 minCoffee And A Car RideExtra Duty Part 1.I wanted to ask you a question, if that is ok. The question is if the economy is doing so well then why are we all struggling? Why is everyone considering starting an Onlyfans or selling their blood, or a kidney just to buy a gallon of milk? Why does stripping your own home of copper wiring suddenly seem like a logical remedy for our money woes? The bizarre thing about it is that we keep being told that the economy is actually doing well, unemployment is down, jobs are everywhere, yet people can’t live. So I decided to lo...

2022-10-301h 18Coffee And A Car RideThe GOP Drama Club Presents: Maratha’s Vineyard.One of the biggest issues that has always been a point of contention in American politics is immigration. Immigration, that’s right, immigration. Recently it has become a point of rage once more with two governor’s being accused of human trafficking after both orchestrated acts of political drama. Those scenes of the political theatrics were more than just acts of protest, they were seen by many as acts of deception that equated to criminality. It is something that has left us as a nation questioning what a nation of immigrants should do about immigrants and whether have we gone too...

In this episode, I will rant about the disturbing rumor that has been going around that Trump will be reinstated as president by August. This is something that sounds like the development of another attempted coup, like January 6th. It is something phantasmically terrifying until you remember that one of the people who came up with it is none other than the My Pillow Guy, Mike Lindell. Then, although it is the insane ramblings of an unhinged looney tune, you can breathe. Until you remember that...
2021-06-1712 minCoffee And A Car RideAn AnnouncementI have an announcement. There are only three episodes left of Coffee And A Car Ride. These last three caffeine-soaked episodes, these last three conversations marinated in coffee will wrap up the debate over whether drugs should be legalized, or decriminalized. I will also flavor the brew with the topic of Trump’s claims that he will be reinstated as president soon. So come join me for our last three rides. Coffee And A Car Ride.
2021-06-1403 minCoffee And A Car RideBig Lie PatriotismOn this episode of Coffee And A Car Ride I rant about something that I find quiet annoying. That topic is the fake patriotism Republicans and Trump supporters spout to be Americana. The patriotism built on the lie that the election was stolen from Trump. The same patriotism that allows them to excuse the treason committed by their fellow party member on January 6th. This episode I rant about “Big Lie Patriotism”. Put that in your coffee and drink it.

This time we’ll pour a fresh cup and drive down the road of discussing the importance of Pre K, and the Biden Administration’s plan to provide it for free. We will discuss the fact that it helps kids not grow up to become a scumbags. I will rant about how Pre K teaches children important skills and the fact that we as a society should support the Biden Administration’s plan to provide free Pre K...

We stick to the topic of drug decriminalization/legalization, and argue whether the rest of the nation should follow the state of Oregon and legalize all drugs. Should the rest of the nation take the Oregon Trail so to speak? So, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and join our hilarious debate.

An uptake during an epidemic, a health crisis that has been raging like a herpes flare-up. This unsightly blemish, which is more like Leprosy than a horrible skin rash, is something that has been overlooked and forgotten. What is even more tragic is many of those overdoses are accidental due to other drugs like coke having Fentanyl mixed in like it a batch of jungle juice. As horrible as the loss is it is also a perfect example of why there is a reason to legalize drugs. In this episode, I will be going...
2021-05-0714 minCoffee And A Car RideThe more high the less crime.With the opioid epidemic still raging many have once again begun to ask if decriminalizing/legalizing drugs is the the way to go? Is that the the route that will help to solve the issue of mass incarceration in our country? Is a joint in every hand and a straw up every nose the better way than the direction we are going now? I am joined by my friend, the very talented, Dureyea Rashad to discuss this important topic.

And there is no better place to start than with the gremlin of rich families, the Sacklers. I say that because like the mythical desecrater, the family sabotaged American’s lives with a drug all the while pretending to be philanthropists. All this is explained in a new book about the family, Empire Of Pain, by journalist Patrick Radden Keefe. In this episode listen to me bark, snarl, and snap as I rant ab...
2021-04-2324 minCoffee And A Car RideMercy For Treason?As the trials for those who participated in the January 6th insurrection begin, evidence is beginning to surface that proves that those people are guilty. Much of that evidence was produced by the accused. Those pieces of evidence coming to light, the accused, like the QAnon Shaman, are begging for mercy for what many would call the treason they committed. On todays episode I will be ranting about that.
2021-04-0809 minCoffee And A Car RideThings That Go Cruz In The NightWhen the winter cold front hit Texas, Ted Cruz and his family fled, just like the immigrants coming here. They ran to Mexico to escape the natural disaster. Well, he caught crap for it and came back. Then Biden and a renewed border crisis came along and Ted got a second wind. Just like a typical republican, he then went after Biden for the same issues Trump allowed despite behaving exactly like those who are coming to this nation. I rant about that on this episode.
2021-04-0112 minCoffee And A Car RideExtremist SerendipityIn this turbulent time, where we are still so divided, I discovered a story that offered hope. It was a story about two relatives on opposite sides of the country, and political spectrums, connecting and forming a bond of respect despite their differences. Now while that is inspiring, it is also ripe for comedy. In this episode, I will be ranting about that.
2021-03-2610 minCoffee And A Car RideWho Do You Trust?As the investigation into the capital riots progresses, it has been revealed that there is has been a good number of law enforcement and military personal (Trump supporters) who were involved in the January 6th insurrection. That is scary, uber scary when you think about the fact that the people who are supposed to be protecting us believe that lizard people are eating babies. So who do you trust? That is what I rant about this episode.
2021-03-2408 minCoffee And A Car RideA Bad Day, Again.On Tuesday, March 16th, a man in Atlanta bought a gun, and then committed a hate crime. That crime resulted in the death of 8 people, 6 of whom were Asian women. Despite that being a hate crime, what has made this even more of a tragedy is the fact that local law enforcement has refused to label it a hate crime. They have instead coddled the offender, explaining he was a troubled man who had a “bad day”. In this episode, I will be ranting about that.
2021-03-1910 min
Coffee And A Car RideThe Death Of Pepe La PewWith the hysteria over Dr. Seuss, a new round of cancellations has taken place, and new controversy had developed. The new controversy was a fluke that occurred when a New York Times columnist mentioned Pepe Le Pew in a piece he wrote about Dr. Seuss's racist artwork. In this episode I rant about Pepe’s cancellation, and whether it was necessary.
2021-03-1317 minCoffee And A Car RideHate With A BadgeAccording to a recent FBI report, far-right extremists are being encouraged to join law enforcement and the military so that they can acquire the trade craft needed to commit acts of terrorism. This is something that the FBI has warned us about, but they themselves have been slow to act on. This episode I will rant about this.
2021-03-1013 minCoffee And A Car RideTreasonous DelayWhen the insurrection took place on January 6th, the capital police made a plea for help from the national guard, but a response was not given until hours later. That was due to specific new restrictions that had been put in place by Trump’s allies. I will be ranting about this treasonous delay in this episode.
2021-03-0612 minCoffee And A Car RideHero Outside, Corrupt InsideDuring the early months of the pandemic NY Governor Andrew Cuomo was praised as a hero for how he handled the situation. But that all changed when it was revealed that he had covered the exact number of deaths that occurred in nursing home. The consequences have shown Cuomo’s true colors. That is what this rant will be about.
2021-03-0310 minCoffee And A Car RideSunshine SocialismThe world is a hectic, crazy place filled with tragedy and despair. It is a place that will devastate you and beat you down like you were a red-headed stepchild. Despite that reality, some still view the world in rose-colored glasses. They are a freakin’ ray of sugary, joyous sunshine. In this episode, I will have a conversation with two members of my family with two opposing perspectives; optimism and realism.
2021-02-2730 minCoffee And A Car RideHistory’s Dirty Underpants or The New Know-NothingsSometimes when history repeats itself, it’s not a clean carbon copy. No, it’s like wearing a dirty pair of underpants from the hamper. Yup, all dirty, stained and smelly with the previous days activities. That is what QAnon is, a continuation of the nativist “Know Nothings” party. That is what I will be ranting about this episode.
2021-02-2210 minCoffee And A Car RideA Nixon Pardon for Trump.With so much controversy still surrounding the insurgency at the capital, a new idea is trending. That idea is the denial that anything actually happened on January 6th. As that denial has become a thing the question of how our nation can move on has become a serious and complicated issue. One idea is that Biden could pardon Trump as Gerald Ford did Nixon, giving him and his base what they want and possibly allowing the new administration to move forward with their agenda. In this episode, I rant about that possible solution.
2021-02-1710 minCoffee And A Car RideSpace Laser PT. 2In this episode, I continue my rant about Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, and her unhinged belief in a Jewish space laser that caused the 2018 California wildfires. I actually read her jumbled cluster of words, the Facebook post that explains her belief. The rant goes from there.
2021-02-1616 minCoffee And A Car RideOverlooked ScourgeBefore the Covid-19 pandemic, our nation was dealing with an epidemic. It was dealing with a drug scourge that was like the AIDS epidemic, until this new pandemic. Now as the virus has taken center stage, the opioid epidemic has faded from memory while overdose rates have risen. In this episode, I rant about this issue that has been swept under the rug.

Coffee And A Car RideSpace Laser PT. 1Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the new faces of the GOP. She is the new rabid, foaming at the mouth insane, padded room needing QAnon faces of the GOP. If that isn’t scary enough, many of her decisions are influenced by her belief in, and you are reading this correctly, Jewish space lasers. In this episode, I rant about this. There are more on this topic to come.

Coffee And A Car RideVaccinating KarenThe COVID vaccine is now available; a miraculous achievement of science. That said the rollout of the vaccine has been slow, and that has resulted in a competition of sorts to see who can get it first. That has raised the question of who is more deserving of receiving the vaccine first, and according to Stacey Griffith, a celebrity fitness instructor for SoulCycle, it is affluent whites. In this episode, I will be ranting about this, and asking the question of who is more deserving of receiving the vaccine first.

Coffee And A Car RideBelief CriminalMany think, especially after the capital insurrection, that the only way to deal with those who think, or believe something different from them is to treat them as criminals.

In this episode, I discuss the truth behind the Patriot Party.

Coffee And A Car RideTrump’s Pity Political PartyThere are rumors that Trump wants to start his political party. He wants to call this party the Patriot Party. The sad thing is that not only is this just a pathetic attempt at stating in the spotlight, it is also an existing group that has been trademarked. This episode is about this failed Trump business that is Trump’s political career.
2021-01-2511 minCoffee And A Car RideTrump is gone! Why Worry!Trump as of January 20th is officially gone. He left that morning before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ inaugurated, leaving behind the pathetic stench of failure and narcissism. That said should we stop worrying? After January 6th, I think not, but many around me do. One of those people is my stepmother. In this episode, I try to get a better understanding of her optimism.

Coffee And A Car RideT-Bomb: The GOP’s detonation of a political nuclear bomb.When the GOP made Trump the head of the Republican Party they forever change American politics. When they gave in to “peer pressure” and did as their masses demanded they gained a weapon of mass destruction in Trump. The only problem is that when they used their nuclear option, they poisoned themselves with radiation. They made the rain at the Capitol turn black. This episode is about how the taking of the capital shows how sickly the GOP has made our political landscape and in turn our nation.
2021-01-1913 minCoffee And A Car RideThe White Boy CoupThe attempted coup on the 6th changed many things, but there is one thing that it did change for the better.

Then we talk about how our nation could positively be changed.
2021-01-1454 minCoffee And A Car RideMeth-eagleTrumpists tried to overthrow the government. Under his command, his followers took the capital, and as bad as that sounds there is one silver lining to it. They did nothing. No demands, no threats, no press conferences where the hilly billy spokesman proclaims that the national bird will be a meth-addicted eagle. Nothing. They did nothing.
2021-01-1217 minCoffee And A Car RideThe Troll TollTrump has attempted a coup. Right now on January 6th at 4:56pm Trump supporters have stormed the Senate. This is Trump making America Great Again? Right now I will be discussing how our democracy is dying.

He has also claimed that the deep state is out to get him and his base, but so far it’s been bs. The reality is that Trump is not what he says. Proof of that came out over the weekend. He is a bitch.

2020-12-2904 minCoffee And A Car RideChipped By QThe vaccine will soon be here, but while we wait, the ridiculous idea of being chipped by getting the COVID 19 vaccine has arrived. While those who believe that the vaccine is just an excuse for Bill Gates to inject a microchip into your skin so you can be tracked, the reality is a microchip isn’t needed to track us. The reason why? We just need to be ourselves.
2020-12-2310 minCoffee And A Car RidePorno HitmanIn response to the Georgia run off, Texas Republican Congressmen Dan Crenshaw made a video so psychotic if it hadn’t been so terribly bad it would be have been scary. Now the importance of this race is crucial in that if the democrats win then they will have a Senate majority. That event would be traumatic for the Republican party right now, especially after Trump’s loss. Congressman Crenshaw’s video, which called for conservatives everywhere to show support to those Georgian GOP Senators, was so conspiracy laced you could taste the falsehoods. On this episode I will be rantin...
2020-12-2114 minCoffee And A Car RideBird Lady TrumpOur nation is so divided right now that it is common practice now to threaten any politician you don’t agree with with violence, even sexual violence.

2020-12-1538 minCoffee And A Car RideLiberals Are Hyprocrits Too Damn It!While Trump and his base are rolling around on the floor crying and gnashing their teeth it is important to remember one very important thing before we laugh. The important thing that we all need to realize is that four years ago when Trump was elected, we (progressives) were the sniveling toddlers in need of a pacifier.
2020-12-1008 minCoffee And A Car RideThe Scumbag That CouldTrump is like a scumbaggy version of the little engine that could. He is still proclaiming that he is the real winner, and there is a part of the population that believes him. The fact that that is true points to the fact that our democracy is in danger. I will be ranting about that in this episode.
2020-12-0707 minCoffee And A Car RideWe need Proud BoysWith all the violent chaos that is going on, it seems as though the right has all the lanky foot soldiers they need. With their many Boy Scout troops like The Proud Boys, the right has all the cannon fodder it needs. What I have to come to realize is that left needs it own arm of strength in these extreme times too.
2020-12-0206 minCoffee And A Car RideThe Delicate Flower That Is TrumpIt is hilariously sad that the supposedly tough successful business man, Trump, can’t accept defeat. It is dangerous and more embarrassing than a grown man pissing his pants. That is what I will be ranting about.
