Since I've been hearing more and more discussion about the possiblity, I find myself struggling to wrap my head around the idea of a post-term impeachment conviction. Do you guys know what that would look like, and what it would mean if he was convicted by the Senate after January 20th? Clearly, it wouldn't mean that he is removed from office, since he wouldn't be in office anymore.

Do we still currently have children in cages at the border? If yes, how long into the Biden administration do you think it will take for them to be released, if at all?

Warmbry

On a scale of zero to "Hunger Games a' comin'", how scared are you about more violence on Inauguration Day?

Jay Sikarskie

What do you think Trump is going to do after leaving office? If he's convicted by the Senate and can't run in 2024, then what's his next set of actions?

Drew Hartl

Is it reasonable for the justice department to lable all the people who took part in the Capitol riot as domestic terrorist? I believe it is. As such, what is an appropriate punishment for them? Should these people all face jail time? Or is it enough to have them live with the lable and all it entails. No fly list, not being allowed to vote, and having their guns taken away?

Thomas Dinsdale-Young

The world is shitty, and it's probably going to get worse. But on the other hand, there's cause for optimism. What are you hopeful about for the coming year or so? What are some achievable ways we can make the world better for each other?

Michelle D

What can I, a chronically ill person who is constantly overwhelmed with work and just barely getting through the day, do to help with...any of this? I am so worried but I am so, so tired.

Brennan Artzt

In an off topic question, if you could fight anyone in history and lose who would you fight and why?

Kyle Sousa

Do you think it would be productive/responsible to charge former President Trump and media figures like Alex Jones with inciting violence?

Cory

Assuming Biden doesn't care enough to act on this, how should the public respond if the emboldened white supremacists don't crawl back into their dank tunnels indefinitely? I feel as though the lack of passivity from the right-wing has dissolved their privileges to not be punched square in their glass jaws and chalk noses, but maybe I'm just cynical as hell.

Liz Capik

How do we stop left-leaning people from skipping merrily down the path of supporting a police state? I'm seeing some of the same people who were on board with ACAB in the summer now calling for aggressive, militaristic police response.

Derek Lewis

I'd like to address a sort of dangerous path people have been taking, wanting to punish the ENTIRE crowd of people who entered the capitol. I don't think it's a good idea for a couple reasons: First, whatever book gets thrown at these people is going to come back ten times harder at any leftist protest who even BREATHES at the capitol. We all know it. Second, the nazis and armed insurgents who were clearly planning to take hostages and shed blood aside, a large majority of these people were clearly swept up in the moment, and entered the building because they thought it was safe. They are victims of a long, complex disinformation apparatus that's taken place over the last 4 years, orchestrated by capitalist-class ghouls. Punishing working class people for the actions of the rich, yet again isn't going to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future. Throw the book at the fascist browncoats who were clearly, actively planning to do a coup, but don't punish the rando boomers out of a frustration that comes from not being able to hold the motherfuckers who enabled this accountable.

Jared

Predictions for January 17th and inauguration day?

Heather Q

Do you plan on doing any deep dive into thoughts around social media bans and the arguments surrounding the recent sweep?

Clare Williman

I just watched the Clip you released on YouTube today. So on point. What is scaring me the most? I don’t know. The police I guess. Should we be surprised given that the earliest police forces were tasked with rounding up runaway slaves? We already knew this but just what percentage even cares about “serve & protect?”

Chas Coffman

It feels like our generation (and eventually the ones after) is trying to get out of the mentality of "I post, therefore I am," where everything we do has to be documented in some way to prove our worth. But it also feels like if we ignore social media, even when it feels like pointless debating in comments, the more the radical elements are allowed to foster. Where's a good place to direct this energy? Funding and supporting places like bellingcat?

Ted Kern

While I'm glad to see these companies finally deplatforming fascists, I'm worried about the precedent it sets for silencing leftist speech in the future. What are your thoughts on a housing guarantee of sorts on the internet? Where everyone has a right to a web domain/IP address through a public service. I don't think its critical compared to, say, an actual housing guarantee, but internet access for all seems a popular progressive sentiment. Without some protected, sharable space for everyone its all too easy for corporate/institutional powers to deplatform anything else that may cost them money, like union websites. Currently you need to fall within the good graces of an ISP to get an address, a registrar to get a domain, and possibly a hosting service if you don't have the equipment/expertise to set up a website.

Stephanie Kay

Do you have any specific recommendations about how to most effectively bully the shit out of elected reps? If I get one more substance-free form letter thanking me for my latest tirade, I’m going to rip off my own head and drop kick it into the woods.

Izit Spooky

How do you guys feel about Ol' Musky becoming even richer during this horrifying crisis and are you tempted to join his plantation scheme on Mars?

ResponsibleDad

Do you think that bad actors on the right are currently engaging in a narrative that is attempting to normalize the idea of a "conservative genocide" in order to make the less radical members on the right to become radicalized? How can we combat such a self-sacrificing crab group? Make them sacrifice so much so as to become weaker for doing so? Wouldn't that also be a not good thing to do? My parents are part of this death cult and I would like it if they weren't sacificial puppets to a mad king.

Simon Brook

Does Biden really still want to reach across the aisle to work with the seditionists in the Republican Party?

Erica

Jokes about which games were played to pass the time in the ‘bunker’ have been making the rounds on social media. If you were underground with our reps/senators, what game would you want to play with them?

UrpleDeath

Julius Caesar took over the republic to avoid legal prosecution. Trump isn't competant enough to take over the country, however, if he is legally prosecuted, the next person in his position might be competant enough to successfully execute a coup. There is guaranteed to be a new person that takes over Trumps potion on the far right. They are likely to be more competant. Why give them the motivation to take over to avoid legal prosecution?

Enormous Little Things

In my mind, the only way to de-radicalize ardent Trump supporters will be for Biden and the Dems to materially improve their lives and demonstrate that their policies can in fact benefit the working class. Do you agree and what do you think the chances are that Biden’s administration will rise to the occasion?

Sean Piper

How much have your respective pups loved having you home for most of the past year?

Salvador

Thoughts on McCarthy’s hypocrisy, the terrible whataboutism, and the obvious obvious police complicity?

Salvador

Also, as a child of immigrants can I just say how deeply upsetting it is how often the term ‘banana republic’ has been thrown around by like. Everyone

Lyn L

Do you think the deplatforming of fascists and nazis on Facebook, Twitter, etc is going to help at all or could it just make things worse?

ThisguyisDave

remember that time in 1876 when white supremacists in south Carolina successfully subverted an election through the suppression of black votes and the disruption of government processes through the use of intimidation, violence and like, murder? MAN I'M SURE GLAD THOSE DAYS ARE OVER!!!

Cory Hammerschlag

Do you think that banning everyone from Twitter and Facebook and taking down Parler maybe should have been done months or in some instances fucking years ago, instead of over the course of one chaotic week leading up to the very public inauguration of a frail, doddering old man? Like... isn't doing it this way sort of asking for violent and stupid retaliation from dummies who would have had no idea who to direct their anger at if there hadn't been a presidential inauguration coming up in a week? Alternately, is it just me or is it way too hard to seamlessly transition to an Am on a mandolin? It's such a critical note, why is it such a dick pain to quickly transfer to in relation to literally every other open chord? Cody, is this just me? Do you bang out Am's in your sleep? Man I wish I was just friends with you and could ask that question instead of expecting you to derail your political comedy podcast with a shoehorned discussion about mandolins... well whatever. Safe travels noble news dudes

Pat Steirer

What's your thoughts on the report from just 9 hours ago about the boar roaming a township in eastern quebec? Is 2021 the year of the great war on boars? Can we hope to match the strength their telepathy has grown to?

Robert Levy

It's obvious to me that the only way our country is going to succeed is if everyone gets on the same set of facts. How can we pull people away from Qanon and OANN and back to the land of actual facts and data? The divide is only going to get wider and wider if everyone is lying about whatever they want.

Becca Bee

What are your thoughts on the reports of upcoming white supremacist militia activity in DC in the days before the inauguration? Is it likely to happen still, in your opinion? Tactically was it ever even possible? Specifically the reports of setting up a perimeter around the Capitol and murdering Dem lawmakers who try to get through

Dev Pirates

I don't think that the failed insurrection is the end of it. It's like with every other terrible thing they do, they are relentless with trying to ruin it for everyone as long as money keeps flowing up. People need to face justice and consequences for their actions if we have any hope of fighting this. Anyway, how do you feel about only focusing on the good things and ignoring all the bad things that make us sad and angry? I think I remember a show like that that sold out for a lot money last year in the dark before times. I was really counting on that show to shame me for thinking about bad things that are actually happening so that I can cut myself off from reality and live in a happy little bubble... oh well.

Daveed Silva

Whre can I get my antifa checks? ive been doing all the looting soros ordered, but they havent paid me yet. Also, how do you remain a little sane? how do you intereact with folks that seem to be living in a totally different reality? and what brand of under t-shirts does Trump use? do they buy clothes where we buy clothes? or is there special clothing stores for rich people?

Zac McAuley

What do we know, both generally and specifically, on why it was so easy to invade the capitol? All we really have from officials are shrugs and a few early retirements.

Neptune Jones

What do you think about the insurrection being a really, at its core and quite blatantly, a Christian insurrection?

Noah Pfeiffer

Can't remember if i already posted this but what is the point of impeachment on the larger scale? It doesn't seem to do anything.

Alexander Stanton

3 Q's: 1. Would you like to play D&D with me? Not that I have the time to at the moment, but would you guys "like" to if I did? 2. Why? Just "why"? 3. What do y'all think the future looks like for the Trumps? Is there someone in y'all can think of in American History that has had their names ragged up so bad that could compare? Where is this guy going to go from here? Is there a way for the Trumps to come back from this? Thanks for all you do, Stanton

Steve Thomas

Can we get a cross-over answer with "Worst Year Ever" where you all sooth-say the future of radioactive boar ejaculate consistency? Also, where is it most likely to occur so I can avoid stepping in it?

Matthew Roark

@Noah. The goal is to convict 45 in the senate so he can be barred from running for office again. To shut down the figurehead of the fascist movement by removing him permanently from the halls of government.

Kim

Trump supporters seem to be living in a different reality and genuinely believe they are correct and fighting for the safety of our country with the same passion and conviction I have in my knowledge that they are wrong, and frankly, pretty shitty. How did this happen, how can we deprogram them, how will this affect Biden's presidency and what happens following?

Amber Davidson

Why do both sides scream and cry when the other side wins the election and say they were robbed or the election was not fair? Sadly, you only two choices - one bunch or rich white cunts, or another bunch of rich white cunts....so does it even matter?

Jamie Dale

I know trump gave everyone plenty of fodder to discuss outrage over. Do you guys see yourselves doing some more news through the Biden administration? Like you said, politics is boring again.

Yatz

Do you think there's a chance that Jarvanka Kushner escape to Israel (which is the only place outside the US where Drumpf is considered a hero)? Will Jared face off with Bibi for leadership of the Likud party? Will we see a mud-wrestling match between Ivanka and Netanyahu's insane wife for Alpha female status? And will Ivanka's well-publicized bowl control issues come into play on said match?

Jerry Young

If Some More News blows up. You guys just get millions of subscribers and a mass following. Would yall go to a studio audience type of vibe? Like the John Oliver show or maybe the Daily Show? Or you keep it like a radio video recording thing, like Dave Ramsey's Youtube Channel?
