Recapping the GOP "debate" and looking ahead to Super Tuesday
Saturday Feb 27, 2016

"The fruit salad of their lives." That's what Ben Carson will look at when picking a Supreme Court Justice to nominate. That's reassuring. Still, that was probably the most sensible, mature thing said at last night's poo-slinging debacle billed as a debate.

Colorado caucus pre-game and NV GOP Caucus results
Wednesday Feb 24, 2016
Wednesday Feb 24, 2016
We introduce a new friend, Molly, who's chock full of good info about politics at all levels, including here in Colorado. We hope she becomes a regular IT fixture. Meanwhile, Trav battles a plague of snot and everyone in NV battles Trump in vain, who looks pretty damn unstoppable right now. Looks like Rubio will snag 2d though, so expect Mark Halperin and and John Heilemann to dry hump a cardboard cutout of his likeness on their show tomorrow. Also expect lots of complaints and accusations about all kinds of caucus shenanigans, as reports from all over the state make it sound like shit is B-A-N-A-N-A-S over there... so good times.

Audio from the Nevada caucus/SC primary live stream

Miss the wonky, cunning commentary on today's results? Looking for some consolation if you're a downtrodden Bernie supporter? Need to hear some pundits not anointing Rubio as king of the universe for losing his 3d contest in a row? Well, you might get some of that, or we might just laugh at Jeb's expense. (Au revoir, mon ami. Trump won't have Jeb! to kick around any more - although he still probably will) So enjoy a quick recap.. a quickie, if you will. (Will you? You've got our email)

SC and Nevada pregame, plus bad math news for Bernie :(

'Twas the night before the Nevada caucus and SC primary and all through the house, Trav was fighting a shitty cold and Rachel was fighting the patriarchy, as usual. Ok, maybe she wasn't exactly fighting it specifically this episode, but always in spirit. No, instead we previewed tomorrow night's Dem. Nevada caucus and GOP SC primary which we'll be live streaming right here: Irreverent Testimony Live Stream channel. Because we know there's no way you'd rather spend your Saturday night staying home to watch us bring you primary results. Party on!

RIP Antonin Scalia and GOP debate recap

Yes, I'm saying Rest in Peace to one of the most reviled political figures in progressive circles. And while he was alive I was certainly one who reviled most of his jurisprudence. But, it's just not how I roll. With that said, there are obviously huge political ramifications, and we delve into them the best we can.

Arliss hops back on the podcast with Trav and Rachel as we discuss the first post-New Hampshire debate. Would Hillary find her footing with Bernie going for the knockout? We have an opinion or 2, obviously.

On today's episode, we take a break from the presidential race to talk about everything else in the news... Well, sorta. There's some Hillary in there, but we discuss Beyonce's "controversial" (read: scary black people are scary to good Midwestern white folk just trying to watch football players give each other brain damage during the Super Bowl) video and Super Bowl halftime performance, and Rudy Giuliani haz a sad cuz stop scaring the poor cops and white people! :(

Well, here you go. There was little suspense, but we break it down for you. We took the audio from the live video stream that I'm sure you were all watching. But in case you weren't, here's a podcast version. There are some audio issues and such, but whatever. Feel the Bern yet? Rachel's getting there..

Last GOP debate before New Hampshire
Sunday Feb 07, 2016
Sunday Feb 07, 2016
An exciting night (well for a while) as Carson refuses to come out to the podium when introduced, Christie goes right after Rubio and Rubio gets stuck in the Princess Bride revenge loop. Trump rubs Jeb!'s nose in the poop and Jeb! just kinda takes it. What is it they say about going out with a whimper? Also bla bla bla moar torture, moar war, illegal immigrants are the cause of everything bad, and Rachel and Dana get into a more heated debate than anyone on stage. Fireworks!

Well, you won't have Martin O'Malley to kick around anymore. Ok, no, he didn't say that, but he did bow out and now it's Hillary vs. Bernie, no holds barred, steel cage, no rules. Two candidates enter. One candidate leaves. BUST A DEAL, FACE THE WHEEL, BUST A D-
