  Republicans: From “I’m Not a Crook” to “So What If I Am?”

  Oct 2, 20262h 19m

  Tarabuster Friday with Tara Devlin. 10/02/26 ️ Trump’s DOJ tries to rehabilitate Richard Nixon: More than 50 years after Watergate exposed Nixon’s criminal cover-up, Trump’s Justice Department is entertaining claims that Nixon and his henchmen were somehow the victims. We break down Watergate step by step—and why MAGA calls every form of accountability “the deep state.” Hegseth’s Pentagon brings in Musk, Newt Gingrich, and defense-tech insiders: Pete Hegseth has tapped Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich to help steer a Pentagon “future of warfare” initiative. Because naturally, when the country needs sober, accountable national-defense planning, MAGA reaches for a billionaire contractor, a defense-tech CEO, and Newt Gingrich. ️ A judge stops Trump’s DOJ from reviving the Reflecting Pool case: A D.C. judge dismissed the case against former Olympian David Hearn with prejudice after prosecutors conceded evidence showed the alleged damage came from a botched contractor installation—not vandalism. It is a reminder that the Justice Department belongs to the American people, not to a president looking for innocent people to punish. Don’t miss Tara’s signature mix of righteous outrage, humor, and hard truth as she tears apart another example of right-wing cosplay patriotism — and reminds us what real service, sacrifice, and love of country actually look like.

  Pulling the Covers Off the MAGA Grievance Machine - featuring Lee Papa, The Rude Pundit

  Oct 2, 20261h 6m

  Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Oct 01, 2026 ️ LEE PAPA / THE RUDE PUNDIT — The legendary political satirist, writer, and unapologetic liberal truth-teller joins Tarabuster to take on Trump’s retribution machine, Jeanine Pirro’s DOJ embarrassment, Pete Hegseth’s MAGA bully culture, and the authoritarian cruelty Republicans are trying to normalize. Trump’s DOJ Humiliated in Court: A D.C. judge dismissed the Reflecting Pool case with prejudice and barred Jeanine Pirro’s office from bringing it again—a remarkable rebuke after Trump publicly pressured prosecutors to pursue charges. We’ll discuss what happens when the Justice Department is expected to manufacture cases to satisfy a president’s personal vendettas. ️ Hegseth’s Politics of Humiliation: Pete Hegseth’s military agenda is increasingly built around bullying—body policing, anti-trans persecution, and a MAGA definition of masculinity enforced through exclusion and humiliation. We’ll break down why this has nothing to do with readiness and everything to do with authoritarian control. Lee Papa, a.k.a.

  Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Sept 29, 2026 Historian Allan Lichtman joins Tarabuster to discuss his new book, Great American Presidents: The Twelve Who Transformed the Nation—a provocative look at the leaders who reshaped America and the real standards of presidential greatness. From Washington and Lincoln to FDR, LBJ, and Reagan, Lichtman breaks down how power, crisis, character, and lasting consequences—not media hype or partisan mythology—determine which presidents truly transformed the country.

  Sorry, Trump. America Will NEVER "Love" a Dictator

  Sep 25, 20262h 13m

  Tarabuster Friday with Tara Devlin. 09/25/26 Trump’s “Love Me” ad: The White House is airing a taxpayer-funded, campaign-style ad glorifying Donald Trump ahead of the midterms—because apparently your tax dollars now have to pay for the Dear Leader’s emotional-support montage. ️ SCOTUS and the Big Lie database: The Supreme Court has cleared the way for Trump’s administration to use Social Security data in a citizenship-verification system that could wrongly burden lawful voters—all in service of the same evidence-free voter-fraud hysteria that fueled January 6. ️‍⚧️ The GOP’s anti-trans panic machine: Republicans are recycling their oldest electoral scam: invent a terrifying threat, target a vulnerable minority, and distract voters from the fact that they have no plan to make life more affordable, safe, or free.

  Trump’s Anti-American, Authoritarian Press Ban Is Here

  Sep 23, 20261h 2m

  Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Sept 22, 2026 ️ Brad Bannon joins Tarabuster: Deadline DC’s Brad Bannon joins Tara to break down Trump’s escalating war on the free press, the White House’s propaganda push, and the authoritarian rot Republicans are trying to normalize. ️ Trump’s war on the free press: Trump is escalating his authoritarian assault on independent journalism—calling critical reporting a “national security” threat, banning outlets from the White House, and demanding a press corps that behaves like a state propaganda department. Trump TV: propaganda on the public dime: After banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, Trump rolls out a 24/7 “Trump TV” stream—because a wannabe autocrat cannot survive without his own government-backed reality show. ️ Trump’s militarized vanity arch: Trump’s proposed 250-foot triumphal arch is no longer just an obscene monument to his ego—it is now supposedly a “military complex” for drones, snipers, and ammunition. Fascist architecture meets the world’s dumbest action movie. ⚖️ Lauren Boebert’s ethics mess: Rep. Lauren Boebert is facing a sworn ethics complaint alleging inappropriate relationships with staff and a $200,000 payment; she denies the allegations. The party of “family values” somehow keeps becoming the party of scandal, excuses, and victimhood. Nancy Mace’s manufactured outrage: Nancy Mace posts a deliberately provocative “Go COCKS” football-game photo, then acts persecuted when it goes viral—because Republicans love trolling America almost as much as they love pretending they are victims of the reaction.
