The Mad Mod Pod

Today on Part 2 of the fourth episode of The Mad Mod Pod with Ken Thompson, we cover how much we ARE NOT properly updating our military stance, and the Iran War just gave us a great display of how far behind we are. We discuss how Ukraine has changed the nature of warfare against Russia with millions of drones, despite having a small fraction of our resources, yet we have done very little to match Ukraine's changes. We have barely updated our military stance since the Iraq War, and because of this, we have too few munitions for peer-level conflict, substandard hardware supply chains, and we are years behind on drone technology.A Ken Thompson Media Production.

Today on the fourth episode of The Mad Mod Pod with Ken Thompson, we cover how Trump got us into another Middle Eastern war, how Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is a quagmire of Trump's own making, and how we have been depleting our munitions for a war we didn't even plan to fight.A Ken Thompson Media Production.

Today on the third episode of The Mad Mod Pod with Ken Thompson, we cover how inevitable it was that the campaign promise of mass deportations carried out under a second Trump term would be unlawful in practice and fascist in its enforcement, along with Trump's other fascist desires like trying to nationalize and corrupt our democratic elections in order to avoid facing any accountability. We also discuss Barry Goldwater and how the Republicans from the Nixon era had a spine and put country over party, something today's Republicans (House Rep. Thomas Massie aside) have apparently no intention of doing.Good Liars Link:   / goodliars  YourRichBFF Link:   / @yourrichbff  A Ken Thompson Media Production. All rights reserved.

Today on the second episode of The Mad Mod Pod with Ken Thompson, we cover some of what makes the issue of affordable healthcare and the ACA tax subsidies a worthy and useful fight for Democrats, all as Republicans and Russell Vought try to gut the Executive Branch during the shutdown. We also discuss why any real attempt to negotiate with today's MAGA Republicans is a fool's errand, because they no longer can be trusted to adhere to any agreement they later find to be politically problematic for them.The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 Background and Congressional Consideration of Rescissions: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R48432U.S. Government Accountability Office: https://www.gao.gov/products/095406Unitary Executive Theory:https://repository.uclawsf.edu/hastings_law_journal/vol72/iss1/1/https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/714860#https://www.theregreview.org/2025/03/03/shane-the-unbearable-lightness-of-the-unitary-executive-theory/https://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgiarticle=1614&context=jclhttps://fedsoc.org/commentary/fedsoc-blog/judge-uses-originalism-to-reject-unitary-executive-theoryA Ken Thompson Media Production.
