The Bezos wedding is peak 21st Century Gilded Age, SCOTUS hands over the keys to the kingdom, and the Very Bad Bill enables the king, unless we can stop it. Call Congress now: 202-224-3121 www.charlesbursell.com
Chucky Bucky and Uncle Chuck watch Jeopardy! together. A listener calls in to complain. www.charlesbursell.com
The madness of the Iran nuclear dustup brings into harsh focus the need for a worldwide people-to-people democracy movement that shuns so-called ‘leaders’ and reduces the power of profit and borders, eventually abolishing them altogether. www.charlesbursell.com
Netanyahu operates The Orange Menace to conduct his criminal war, while Congressional Repugs’ make him King in order to pass the wildly unpopular agenda they’ve been trying to slip past voters since they were little Birchers. www.charlesbursell.com
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. www.charlesbursell.com
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. www.charlesbursell.com

Oh, and it “legalizes” American Fascism. Think I’m exaggerating? Read the bill. Then kill it. www.charlesbursell.com
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. www.charlesbursell.com
