'BradCast' 1/26/2018 (Republicans REALLY Hate Democracy)
b"Among the stories on today's BradCast: A few words about Donald Trump's reported attempt to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller last June, which the President has attempted to dismiss as "fake news". Republicans are literally trying to block democracy \\u2013 today it's Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin and the GOP-controlled Alabama state legislature who are preventing elections from happening at all.\\xa0 Failed Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is apparently failing upward with a Trump Administration appointment, confirmed by Senate Republicans with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence.\\xa0 Speaking of failures in the state of Kansas:\\xa0 KS Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the long-time GOP "voter fraud" fraudster and now candidate for Governor, enjoys still more shame and ignominy this week after he exposed the sensitive personal data (including the last four digits of social security numbers) of thousands of state officials and employees -- including his own! -- on an unprotected Internet page.\\xa0 The Guggenheim Museum declines to loan a valuable painting to Donald and Melania Trump, but offers a solid gold alternative that seems perfect for the first family. Plus: revelations of Trump's alleged affair and hush-money payoff to adult film actress Stormy Daniels has resulted in an unexpected surge in donations to shark conservation charities... See? Donald Trump CAN do some good in this world after all!"
