Adolfo Mondragon—Oil ‘n Ego

Adolfo Mondragon—Oil ‘n Ego

After Trump kidnaps Maduro, the NYT takes a stand against swallowing government handouts. Ben riffs. Adolfo Mondragon runs through all of the justifications concocted by Trump’s operatives for the invasion and kidnapping. Drugs? Please. The Monroe Doctrine? Stop. Restoring democracy? Ha, ha, ha. Also, will MAGA fall in line even though they’re supposed to be against regime change wars? And what would George Carlin say? Let’s listen. Adolfo is a lawyer in Chicago and an expert on gangster movies. Trump’s raid  is like something out of The Godfather.
