Podcast: "I Feel Snitty" Episode 34: Donald Trump Knows More About Coronavirus Than the Virus People, Believe Him Premiere Date: 2/28/20 Length: 6:42 (938 words) Link: https://ifeelsnitty.podbean.com/e/donald-trump-knows-more-about-coronavirus-than-the-virus-people-believe-him/ Transcript: Welcome to I Feel Snitty, episode 34, entitled, “Donald Trump Knows More About Coronavirus Than the Virus People, Believe Him.” I’m your host, Craig Rozniecki. So did you see that press conference the other day? Donald Trump did what only Donald Trump can do and went on an empty, yet contradictory ramble about coronavirus, before answering some questions… Wait, allow me to rephrase that. When reporters asked him questions, his lips were moving, words were coming out, but he really wasn’t saying much of anything. In case you missed it, here’s basically what happened… “Good afternoon, fake news media. Let me first start by saying the shooting in Milwaukee was very tragic. Ou...

Podcast: "I Feel Snitty" Episode 33: Freak Out at Bernie's Premiere Date: 2/28/20 Length: 14:11 (2,287 words) Link: https://ifeelsnitty.podbean.com/e/freak-out-at-bernies/ Transcript: Welcome to I Feel Snitty, episode 33, entitled, “Freak Out at Bernie’s.” I’m your host, Craig Rozniecki. Today’s show is going to be lighter in tone and subject matter than usual. Yeah, so the world is about to end. No, I’m not talking about the coronavirus. I’m talking about democratic socialist Bernie Sanders’ inevitable nomination to the top of the Democratic ticket for the 2020 presidential election against Donald Trump. The Doomsday Democrats, as I call them, have said each of the following: - “Bernie Sanders is going to destroy the Democratic Party!” - “He will get demolished in the election and we’ll have four more years of Donald Trump!” - “Not only that, but we’ll lose control of the House and have no chance at reclaiming control of the Senate!” - “He will se...

The latest episode of my podcast ( I Feel Snitty ), entitled, "Freak Out at Bernie's," is now available! Here's a brief description of it: Like Weekend at Bernie's, where a pair of guys walk around with a dead man, it's being said by many establishment Democrats that if the Democratic Party nominates Bernie Sanders to face Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, the party will essentially die. This episode is a strong dose of Prozac for said establishment Democrats. You're welcome. The episode can be heard in its entirety here:  https://ifeelsnitty.podbean.com/e/freak-out-at-bernies/

I just received a comment on episode 32 of my podcast ( I Feel Snitty ), entitled, "The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself. ...and Tweets - Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Tweets": "I love the desensitizing to Trump's mean tweets!"

Here are my rankings from after the eighth Democratic debate ( https://thekind-heartedsmartaleck.blogspot.com/2020/02/democratic-candidate-rankings-post_20.html ). Here now are my rankings post-debate #9, with the change in their rankings noted in parentheses: 8) Tom Steyer (-1) 7) Bernie Sanders (-3) 6) Tulsi Gabbard (+/-0) 5) Michael Bloomberg (+3) 4) Joe Biden (+1) 3) Elizabeth Warren (-2) 1-tie) Pete Buttigieg (+1) 1-tie) Amy Klobuchar (+2)

Here's how I rank the Democratic candidates' debate performances from debate 8: 7) Bernie Sanders : With "front-runner" status attached to his name, Sanders received the brunt of the attacks for the first time in this election cycle, and with mixed results. He seemed rather taken aback by some of the boos he heard from the crowd and felt a little off his game as a result. Having said that, it wasn't a horrible night for Sanders, as his less-than-stellar performance I feel was overshadowed by the ineptitude of the debate moderators (yikes!), but still, he'll need to up his game when playing defense in the future. In essence, he'll need to heed his own advice and feel the Bern going forward. 6) Michael Bloomberg : Eh. It was an improved performance from his first debate showing. Of course, that'd be like saying, "This migraine is better than my gout attack." Bloomberg made some good points and we'll see if he can continually improve in ...

Here are my rankings from after the seventh Democratic debate ( https://thekind-heartedsmartaleck.blogspot.com/2020/02/democratic-candidate-rankings-post.html ). Here now are my rankings post-debate #8, with the change in their rankings noted in parentheses: 8) Michael Bloomberg (-1) 7) Tom Steyer (+1) 6) Tulsi Gabbard (+/-0) 5) Joe Biden (-1) 4) Bernie Sanders (+1) 3) Amy Klobuchar (-2) 2) Pete Buttigieg (+/-0) 1) Elizabeth Warren (+2) Who should stay in? 1) Elizabeth Warren 2) Pete Buttigieg 3) Amy Klobuchar 4) Bernie Sanders 5) Joe Biden Who should get out? 1) Michael Bloomberg 2) Tom Steyer 3) Tulsi Gabbard

Here's how I rank the Democratic candidates' debate performances from debate 8: 6) Michael Bloomberg : Welcome to the show... Ouch! The last time I saw a beating like that was in the film Airplane! , when a woman began having a panic attack and a line of people formed to literally knock some sense into her. On second thought, I think the Bloomberg beatdown last night superseded even that. After that anguishing performance, Mike may very well want to change his identity and be called Shirley. 5) Amy Klobuchar : Disappointed  is the first word that comes to mind for me when describing Senator Klobuchar's debate performance last night. As regular readers know, I thought she had been progressively improving in each and every debate since #2 - peaking last time around, where I felt she performed head-and-shoulder's above the rest. The Minnesota Senator had impressed me so much, she took over the reigns in my Democratic candidate leaderboard. Last night, though, she stumb...

Podcast: "I Feel Snitty" Episode 32: The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself. ...and Tweets - Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Tweets Premiere Date: 2/18/20 Length: 15:04 (1,985 words) Link: https://ifeelsnitty.podbean.com/e/the-only-thing-we-have-to-fear-is-fear-itself-and-tweets-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-tweets/ Transcript: Welcome to I Feel Snitty, episode 32, entitled, “The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself. …and Tweets - Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Tweets.” I’m your host, Craig Rozniecki. The saying goes that “the pen is mightier than the sword.” In this day and age, though, that old saying may need to be rephrased to “the tweet is mightier than the sword” - especially if that tweet comes courtesy of one Donald J. Trump. I’m not joking when I say this, but I’ve heard countless times on mainstream media outlets that one big reason why Congressional Republicans - particularly those in the Senate - don’t stand up to the ...

The latest episode of my podcast ( I Feel Snitty ), entitled, "The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself. ...and Tweets - Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Tweets," is now available! Here's a brief description of it: In this episode, I attempt to toughen GOP Senators up by preparing them for the inevitable Twitter attack, at the index fingers of Fake President Donald J. Trump, in the off-chance they ever decide to place country ahead of party. In my best/worst Trumpian voice, I run down a list of potential nicknames for each and every one of the 53 Republican Senators, hoping this diminishes their fears of the horrifying tweet, and motivates them to love America more than Russia. I know; I'm a dreamer. Oh, and spoiler alert: These nicknames will likely be more clever than the ones Trump will ever be able to think up.
