In This Episode:

James and Al ratify Bishop Budde’s call for mercy on those at risk of deportation and discrimination, reflect on Trump’s inauguration, and analyze the state of the Democratic party in the post-Biden era.  They discuss the need to resist Republican efforts to flood the zone with distractions, the political propriety of the recent pardons by Biden and Trump, and how to pick winning issues like raising the Federal Minimum wage and emphasizing MAGA’s love affair with the tech oligarchs.   Then, they celebrate the recent Commanders’ win in the playoffs and weigh their chances at the Super Bowl title.
