Episode 184: The Constitution is Really Just a List of Suggestions Now

SCOTUS puts Trump back on the Ballot, GOP speakers are terrible, a powerful CO Legislator picks a fight with the press, and much much more in this week's pod
Envision a cartoon with four key scenes: 1. Politicians with exaggerated features, equipped with binoculars and safari gear, scrutinize a fence at the cartoonishly depicted southern border, humorously out of touch. 2. A legislator, characterized with oversized glasses and a tiny megaphone, boxes with an anthropomorphic newspaper labeled 'Objective Reporting,' which wears boxing gloves with 'facts' and 'truth' on them. 3. An 8th congress member stands on a cracking stage with a suitcase labeled 'Campaign' overflowing with 'Suspension Notice' papers, while a family off-stage holds a 'Welcome Home' banner. 4. Republican politicians in outdated medical attire attempt to operate a malfunctioning machine labeled 'Women's Health Decisions' in a doctor's office, with women holding a 'Keep Out of Private Decisions!' sign. Each scene satirizes a narrative from the Get More Smarter Podcast, blending satire with exaggerated caricatures.
This has absolutely got to be the weirdest one yet.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast:

  • The United States Supreme Court voted unanimously to let Donald Trump appear on the Colorado ballot in 2024, Democrats and Republicans alike weep and rejoice in equal measure.

  • Kevin McCarthy may have been the shortest-termed speaker in modern history, but MAGA Mike Johnson may go down as the least capable person to ever hold the job as he kicks the can down the road and forces the federal government to live paycheck to paycheck.

  • Next, Real President Joe Biden and Pretend President Donald Trump both visited the Texas Border this week, but only one of them wants to do anything to solve the problem.

  • With the Colorado legislature well underway, one powerful legislator is picking fights with the media about objectively accurate reporting, where have we seen this before?

  • Our 8th favorite member of congress from Colorado is having a tougher and tougher time these days. May we politely suggest suspending your campaign and spending more time with your family?

  • Finally, the fallout from the overturning of Roe v Wade continues as Republicans recognize the effects of their own policies, maybe they should stop trying to interfere in private medical decisions altogether so this kind of stuff isn’t a problem anymore?

  • And the most corrupt, contemptible, and batshit crazy chair of the Colorado GOP in modern memory if not all of history is using Nikki Haley’s money to go after Phil Anschutz, Jeff Crank, and Nikki Haley, all while trying to bolster his own campaign for Congress. Is there any line this guy won’t cross to promote himself?
