Thing/Not A Thing

It’s getting harder and harder to find Not-Things in this crazy climate, but Jean and Aaron give it a shot. (Successfully? You be the judge.)

There’s so much extremely important stuff happening, it’s hard to identify anything that’s not a Thing – but Jean and Aaron give it a shot.

The Ukraine scandal’s obviously a Thing, so instead Jean and Aaron focus on California’s new law allowing student-athletes to receive endorsement deals.

Obviously the Ukraine/whistleblower/impeachment situation is a huge Thing – but what particular aspects of the scandal are not?

We’re now making this a standing argument: if Trump said it, it’s Not A Thing.

Robert Mueller’s testimony wasn’t as much of a Thing as what was going on elsewhere in the room.

Jean thinks it’s a Thing that Nancy Pelosi isn’t challenging the Trump administration harder than she is; Aaron’s not so sure.

President Trump’s “airports” gaffe in his July 4 speech? Not really a Thing – but what is a Thing is what the gaffe symbolizes about his presidency.

Jean and Aaron discuss the Democratic debates – and a high-profile Supreme Court case on gerrymandering.

In which Aaron suggests we can get Donald Trump to swear off bombing Iran forever if we remind him that John McCain once supported it.
