We're witnessing what could be the stupidest era in American history. Fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and a rejection of science are all gaining a foothold in our public discourse. It's maddening.
We started “Life in the Stupid Times” to connect with people who share our frustration with this era. It’s free to listen. Contribute what you want, even if it’s nothing at all.
We are, let’s face it, hurtling toward fascism and ideocracy. Every week (more or less), Life in the Stupid Times examines the insanity to help you make sense of the growing pile of nonsense.
This is not the slickest podcast out there. Our style is bare bones. We record on at-home equipment and edit it ourselves. Frankly, we are learning as we go.

James and Lisa talk about Kimberly Guilfoyle's alleged pay-for-play scheme, Trump's awful deal with Putin to import Russian diesel, the military's creepy decision to publicly execute Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad, and Trump's anger over being passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize, and about Trump's (lack of) mental stability.
We're witnessing what could be the stupidest era in American history.
Donald Trump and his supporters are spreading fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and a rejection of science, which are all gaining a foothold in our public discourse. It's maddening. It has never been more important for Americans to stand up for democracy.
You don't have to face stupidity alone. Every week (more or less), "Life in the Stupid Times" will examine the insanity to help you make sense of the growing pile of nonsense. We are proudly pro-democracy and anti-fascist.

Can We Trust Presidents with War?
James and Lisa discuss a missed opportunity in Iran, tax-funded propaganda, selling weapons to China (maybe), and the ongoing abuse of the media. Then the discussion turns to whether we can trust presidents with unlimited access to the U.S. military.

Political Satanic Panic
James and Lisa discuss the never-ending oil shock, Trump-a-Palooza, Don Jr.'s wedding and why the president tells us not to worry about AI. Also, the Republicans now think the Democrats work for Satan. That's not true, is it?
