Over The Donkey and The R.I.N.O.

One's a center-left liberal in D.C. The other's a center-right conservative in NYC. And if they can just stop trolling each other for 3 seconds, they might just be able to reflect on politics, humanity, and the world at-large... together.

D + R The Finale: November 3, 2020

The season finale four years in the making: Election Day (week? month? YEAR?!?!?) 2020 has arrived. With 99% of the country's votes counted, the American people have spoken and chosen Vice President Joe Biden as the next President of the United States... or have they?  : O This week, The Donkey and The R.I.N.O. tackle the election that came down to the wire, as we muse on the biggest winners (and losers) of the most voted election in United States history.     The popular vote.  The electoral vote.  Bad polling.  Good Independents.  Claims of fraud.  Claiming claims of fraud are fraudulent.  Sour grapes.  Sweet grapes.  Mmmmmm, grapes. We.  Are.  Covering.  It.  All.  A few extra tears shed, an extra helping of troll, but zero punches pulled... all on the final episode of Season 1 of D + R.

HAPPY HOUR! and The Tyranny of Tweets B-)

Beer! 4 days until Election 2020! Twitter as maybe-censor! And beer! : D This week, The Donkey and The R.I.N.O. kick off the last week of Earth's existence with a cold one for our inaugural bi-monthly Happy Hour! episode.  With the current vortex of polling data, swing state shenanigans, and the American news cycle turned up to 11, we sip and sift through the static... and put our clan names on the line predicting who will win, or lose, Election 2020.   Plus, should Twitter dissuade or dictate?  We discuss the implications of private social media companies and e-moderation... and where we think the power to control truth may or may not belong.  Beer (responsibly, of course <3) and the almost-end... all on Episode 9 of D + R.

FINAL FIGHT: Biden vs Trump, Round 2!!!

THE END IS NIGH (of debates, anyway : P): The final Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump has landed!! This week, The Donkey and The R.I.N.O. cover the much, much, much more civil sibling to the 1st Presidential debate ruckus.   Who took the victory in the final slugfest to determine the next leader of the free world?  Were Donald Trump and Joe Biden on an even playing field this time around, and did the muscle-bound mute button play a role in that equality?  How much of this week's scandals surrounding family and fortune did the candidates successfully address... or not? We dive headfirst into the winners, losers, and spectacle of the final conversation between Trump and Biden on the race for the White House (and temperature check it's impact on the last undecided voters in our country today)... all on Episode 8 of D + R.

So Fly: Mike Pence vs Kamala Harris!

Mike Pence, vs Kamala Harris, vs the optics of a bug landing on your head: the vice-presidential debate of the 2020 Election has arrived! With 3 weeks left until Election Day, The Donkey and The R.I.N.O. cover the aggressively civil exchange between the Vice-President and his challenger, and all the delicacies that may arise from having a member of the animal kingdom visit during their performance.  Did Mike or Kamala come out on top?  Are the polls right (or wrong) about the current state of the American voter's leanings?  And will either of these people get that fly's vote next month?   Plus, POTUS gettin' sick: is President Trump really made of swagger the likes of which not even Covid-19 could harm, or did he benefit from dishonest back-door medical dealings and spin a recovery through rhetoric?  We dig into the politics of Presidential health and wealth.... all on Episode 7 of D + R.

THE DEBATE: Biden vs Trump, Round 1!

IT'S HERE!!!  The 1st Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump has arrived, in all of it's petty glory!  : D This week, The Donkey and The R.I.N.O. review what may have been the most volatile, vulgar, bloodlust driven debate in the history of American politics (so far).   Did President Donald Trump defend his throne with grace, or did Joe Biden usurp the crown with a vengeance?  What will independent voters think of an exchange that refused to be anything less than disrespectfully combative ? Should this have even been called a debate, or a more fitting term like "Cesspool of political spectacle"?          We dissect the Biden/Trump debate in our best effort to pull order from chaos, and reflect on it's impact during the final lap of the 2020 election... all on Episode 6 of D + R.
