Episode Description from the Publisher

Don’t miss our weekly recap of the craziest moments in corporate media:Watch this week’s Monday Mourning here:From Lindsey Graham’s mouth to God’s ears: when asked on Meet the Press if the Iran War was worth losing the midterms over, Senator Lindsey Graham proclaimed: “It’s worth losing my job!”Finally, something to agree with arch-Zionist warmonger Lindsey Graham on!And speaking of God’s ears, Trump held a Christian Nationalist party to celebrate the US’s 250th birthday, where speakers claimed that it took God two centuries to bring us Donald Trump so that he could finally put a ballroom in the White House. That’s not a joke they really said that.From Lindsey Graham to Mike Johnson to John Fetterman to former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, we’ve got a Monday Mourning that oscillates between the importance of bombing civilian infrastructure in Iran to the importance of that ballroom. It’s a ridiculous and jam-packed episode.Thanks for supporting our work! Subscribe to the show to become a Useful Idiot and get bonus content!
