The Nicole Sandler ShowLegal or Not and Lots More with Lisa GravesIs it legal if there's no one willing to enforce the laws that say it isn't? That's just one question I'm grappling with these days as we watch what's left of the Department of Justice and the rule of law crumble in the USA.We are experiencing the complete gaslighting of America. The most confounding part of this opposite world in which we're stuck is why so many people are comfortable in it, or claim to be. There is a slight window through which some clarity is attempting to break through, I think.Who would...

The Nicole Sandler ShowSCOTUS & Senate Screwed Us. Law Dork Chris Geidner Informs UsAfter more than 24 hours of "debate" (it wasn't a debate) and the so-called vote-a-rama (including bullshit backroom deals, we're looking at you Murkowski), the Opposite World fittingly-named "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (though according to Schumer, he got the name changed to something else) passed the Senate today with the tightest possible margin. It was a 50-50 vote with VP JD Vance breaking the tie.All Democrats voted NO. Three Republicans --Thom Tillis, Rand Paul and Susan Collins stepped up. But it was Alaska's Lisa Murkowski who betrayed the nation and caved in to the pressure and...

The Nicole Sandler ShowThe Courts, Rule of Law and Lisa GravesWhile we await the final rulings of this term from the Supreme Extreme Court, we're still getting decisions from them along with rulings from lower courts which may, or may not, apply nationally... depending on what SCOTUS rules when they finally get around to announcing their final decisions of the term. It's not only tedious but unnerving, frightening and based on their recent records, potentially (and probably) sickening.There's also a confirmation hearing for Judge Emil Bove, a person wholly unsuitable for a federal, lifetime appointment to the bench, this morning. And the orange wannabe dick-tator held...

The Nicole Sandler ShowLisa Graves Told You So (Re: Leonard Leo)For many years, Lisa Graves has been exposing Leonard Leo for the sleazebag he is. The Dumpster fire in DC finally got the message! Lisa Graves wrote about the man Extreme Court inJustice Clarence Thomas called "the third most powerful man in the world" in her Grave Injustice substack newsletter today, and joins us on today's show to show just how prescient she is... and give us the dirt she's been reporting on since before Leo orchestrated the scheme to turn the high court into the shit show it is today. You don't want to miss this......

The Nicole Sandler ShowEthics,Hearings, Hypocrisy & Lisa Graves - Nicole Sandler Show 5-14-25Ethics are important to Republicans ONLY when it's a Democrat engaging in questionable behaviors. That's more evident every day. But it cuts much deeper... they're quick to call out anything a Democrat does, like nodding off in an all-night hearing. But they have no problem with it's a Republican. It seemed like all we heard from them during the Biden administration was "the Biden 'crime family' is capitalizing on the president's office." But they're notoriously silent about the massive grift by Trump and his spawn -- from a luxury flying palace to golf courses and...

Total Movie RecallTMR 047 – Return to Oz This week on Total Movie Recall, we acknowledge that The Wizard of Oz is, yes, a classic. However, it’s missing a certain je ne sais quoi, and we try to put our fingers on exactly what it needed. We conclude that classic, whimsical children’s film needed more childhood lobotomy, forced imprisonment, Queens pulling their own heads off, and Veruca Salt. Or Fairuza Balk? Potato potato. Return to Oz (1985) d. Walter Murch Based on books by L. Frank Baum Starring: Fairuza Balk as Dorothy Nicol Williamson as the N...
