The Mad Centrist
"A sane person to an insane society must appear insane." ― Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Not Mad as in Angry, Mad as in Insane.
And in an insane world, the sane are simply Mad. I am The Mad Centrist.
You can be too!
The Mad Centrist podcast is a middle ground, pragmatic, politically polite, and irreverently independent show. Pulling the rug out from beneath Democrats and Republicans alike, while respecting democrats and republican citizens (the distinction between Party and people is critical!). Amusing anecdotes of the crazy world we find ourselves in, how to maybe get along better, and pull the world back towards sanity, and do so while having some fun!

TMC - Episode 69: Trump Traps and Illegal Orders
5 Democrats do something uncharacteristic, but relatively normal - at least if we were in normal times. These are anything but normal times. Trump threatens enemies with death, threatens invasions of allies, threatens invasions of neighbors who are not a threat, and loads of money keep pouring into his bank accounts - As Americans try to scrape by, lose jobs, and can no longer afford healthcare.
But then there is the Trump Trap.
