Today, we have a special interview with one of the most interesting senate candidates in the country: Kentucky’s Mike Broihier, who is a former Marine, substitute teacher, current sustainable farmer, and Moscow Mitch’s worst nightmare. He tells some fascinating stories about Kentucky deals with Russian oligarchs gone wrong, the murky history of McConnell’s military service,…
Episode 62–Forget LGBTQ, I’m worried about FGTTQ (FB, Google, Twitter, TikTok, Quora)
Alabama Liberal explains why it should be social media keeping people up at night, from fake information to fake people to fake outrage to outright fascist propaganda. By sharing personal stories of being one of the first users on Facebook to Chinese SPAM on Quora to getting catfished by a Bernie Sanders supporter on Twitter,…
Episode 61–Different Cycle, Same Sanders
Sigh…here we are again with another lost race that Bernie Sanders refuses to concede. Alabama Liberal asks real questions like: how is it rigged against Bernie when he receives preferential treatment? Does he now wish he hadn’t stripped superdelegates of their power? Have a lot of his fans actually voted Democratic before and do we…
Episode 60–Taking Back the Senate
Alabama Liberal breaks down each senate race taking place this year, and the odds of Democrats taking each one of the 23 Republican-held ones. With more GOP senate scandals unfolding everyday (insider trading, past votes not to fund pandemic response, denying the virus before catching it), this is a good guide to which races you…
Ranking and Grading the “Jack Ryan” Movies
While everyone is both disappointed that “No Time to Die” has been pushed back to November but also eagerly awaiting Daniel Craig’s final Bond movie, there’s a quieter milestone for a different spy franchise: believe it or not, its been 30 years (as of March 2nd) since “The Hunt for Red October” was the first…
Brad Pitt’s Best Performances Ranked
[Virus note: Hey, the quarantine and self-imposed isolation is kicking into its 2nd or 3rd week for some of us. We have to pass the time somehow…I’ve seen people on Twitter start troll fights over which Kool-Aid flavor is best, so this isn’t the worst use of time.] Brad Pitt might’ve won his Oscar for…
Episode 59–Will the Media Let us Have a Normal POTUS Again?
Since the race for the White House has completely changed since episode 58, Alabama Liberal takes a brief victory lap after correctly predicting Biden would be the nominee. Then AL examines connected issues like Coronavirus panic, the persistent failure of Bernie Sanders, and a news media that doesn’t really want America to have a President…
Why Joe Biden Will Succeed Where Hillary Didn’t
I saw a question online that asked “Why is Joe Biden a better candidate to run against Donald Trump than Hillary was in 2016?” My answer was so detailed, I thought “why am I wasting all these words on random people when Alabama Liberal needs fresh content?” So here was my answer…[NOT ranked in order…
This is why we support Joe Biden
Since the media seems baffled at why people love Joe Biden, I thought I would help them out and explain it… Trump’s March 6th: 1. Wears tacky campaign garb during pandemic tour (what a branding opportunity!). 2. Goes out of his way to insult and cast paranoia on competent Gov. of state with highest cases,…
The Supreme Court had to save an innocent man because Kay Ivey would not
Once again, Alabama is in the national news. And just like the wild senate race between disgraced pedophile Roy Moore and unemployed ex-Trump bootlicker Jeff Sessions, it was not for something positive. Civil Rights activists had been begging Alabama’s notoriously hard-hearted Governor and closet day-time drunk Kay Ivey to stop the execution of Nathaniel Woods….
Episode 58–Electability vs. Ideology (vs. Ideas)
AL dives into electability, and the strange disdain Democratic primary voters appear to have for the question–whereas they were completely comfortable asking it last year when minority candidates were still in the race. He looks at each individual candidate’s electability and ideology, and notices that most voters seem to think the candidate they like better…
Episode 57–Knives Out in Alabama! Roy Moore, Sessions, and Trump vs. Doug Jones
After looking at last week’s rowdy “Get Bloomberg” debate, Alabama Liberal looks at one race that has gotten even nastier than the Democratic primary: the Alabama Senate race. He does a deep dive into the first ever Alabama senate race to receive national attention, and why each of the “candidates” (which seems more like a…
Who Will Each Candidate Choose as Their VP? And Who They Should Choose
The Also-Rans…For this group, it doesn’t really matter who I think they’ll pick because they have no chance of being the nominee. That being said, I still put some time into thinking about it. Tulsi Gabbard…Who She Would Pick: Probably Bernie Sanders or someone even older and far more irrelevant like Mike Gravel. Who She…
