Episode 324: The Burger Kingification of Seccession (National Divorce & Georgia Grand Jury)

This week on Look Forward, Jay and Brad return to a political world that has been rocked by a series of explosive developments in recent days. In Georgia, a grand jury has reportedly indicted former President Donald Trump on criminal charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Meanwhile, in a controversial move, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has reignited calls for a "national divorce," calling for the peaceful separation of red and blue states. Over in the House of Representatives, Republican leader Kevin McCarthy is under fire for his apparent fealty to the MAGA movement. He recently made a symbolic sacrifice to the Trump wing of his party by removing a GOP colleague who had criticized the former president.   Stories: Jury in Georgia Trump Inquiry Recommended Multiple IndictmentsMTG calls for a national divorce, and has no idea what that meansKevin McCarthy offers his first sacrifice to the MAGA cultTrain derailment in East Palestine is not as the Right presentsNikki Haley announces 2024 POTUS run, reminded immediately of her “place”She might also be headed toward a collision course with Tim ScottPretending the 2020 election was a problem wasn’t just a national issue eitherGOP furious that Biden would dare visit UkraineLook Forward is a weekly progressive political podcast covering U.S. politics, government policy, Democratic strategy, elections, voting rights, Supreme Court rulings, and political news.
