Did hell freeze over?
Republicans in the Wisconsin legislature have passed Governor Evers' new legislative maps, completely unchanged from how they were when he sent them to the state Supreme Court. Have Republicans finally thrown in the white flag? Has hell frozen over? Evers has even promised to sign the maps into law, though there is one small caveat with today's maps, is that enough for Evers to try and veto them? Dom thinks he should!
That caveat? The maps won't be in place until this fall, meaning that any special election or recall election that takes place before then would...
Latrine Patrol
Joe Biden had some harsh words for the former-president today, after Trump's comments that Russia should go ahead and invade any of our NATO allies. Of course he would say that, he's a good friend of Russia! That comes on the heels of the US Senate voting in favor of sending aid to Israel, Ukraine, and other US allies.
Jon Stewart with the Daily Show is, well, back with the Daily Show! The Devils look back and remember how the Daily Show has evolved over the years, and how Republicans seem to think that he and Stephen...
Meet Trump’s Newest Legal Consultant: Yogi Berra
Today is the deadline for Donald Trump's legal team to request more time for their presidential immunity legal case. Perhaps they're also suffering from a Super Bowl hangover, because they quoted Yogi Berra in their statement. Dom and Crute take your calls on Trump's flimsy case.
Over the weekend, Trump said that if countries in NATO don't "pay their dues," then he wouldn't protect them. Instead, he would encourage Russia to "do whatever the hell they want" to these countries. Does that sound like the voice of the Commander-In-Chief? We sure hope not.
If something...
Super Bowl Hangover Monday
Crute is back from Las Vegas to talk about the Super Bowl! Even the NFL can't escape political ads. A campaign ad for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. that made use of JFK imagery played, and while RFK apologized, he still has the ad on his Twitter page. Beyond that, Dom and Crute talk about some of their favorite commercials from the game.
Civic Media sports reporter Mike Clemens is still in Vegas, so he shares what it was like on the scene at Super Bowl LVIII.
Coming up at the end of the month, The...

Joe Biden’s Onion Belt
Joe Biden will not be charged for keeping classified documents, a special council finds. Comparing it to what Trump did, the council found major difference between what Trump did and what Biden did. Part of it? They had some harsh words for Biden - mostly that he's old! His memory is going! He had an onion on his belt! It was the style at the time!
Trump is making his way to the Treasure Island Casino in Vegas tonight for his victory in the Nevada Caucus tonight. How can we say that so soon? Well, he's the...
Always prepare for the worst
SCOTUS heard oral arguments today about whether or not Trump should appear on the Colorado ballot, and they seem inclined to side with Trump and let him on the ballot. Just as Crute said they would, or at least what Crute says he said. Dom's not so sure about how exactly that conversation went.
Plus - Trump's set to win the caucus in Nevada tonight, mostly because he's the only one there. But his party at Treasure Island will be without Crute, as he's been denied once again. In Iowa? Sure, maybe the rooms were small. But...
Trials and numbers
Trump's lawyers get to argue before the US Supreme Court tomorrow morning about whether or not he should appear on the Colorado ballot. Civic Media Host Jim Santelle joins the Devil's to give his take on the case. His prognosis? SCOTUS will probably put him back on the ballot, because that's just who they are.
And should Trump have absolute immunity? No, of course not, says Santelle. Not only that, but the matter should be done, and should not be heard by SCOTUS. Will he try to appeal anyways and draw this thing out? Probably, but then...
The biggest loser
What's the biggest embarrassment in recent electoral history? It might not be Scott Walker anymore, at least he didn't lose to "none of the above" like Nikki Hayley. The results of the useless Nevada presidential primary are in, and Hayley didn't just lose to "none of these candidates," it got more than double the amount of votes than her. Say what you will about Nikki Hayley, but she still managed to do the impossible by being both the big winner of the Republican primary, and the biggest loser.
Joe Biden, meanwhile, took almost 100,000 votes in yesterday's primary...
Viva Las Crute
Crute is live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for the Nevada Presidential Primary election. The least important primary election this year! Why? Because Nikki Haley is the only real candidate in the race, and all the delegates will be given out later this week at the Nevada caucus. You know, the one where Trump will be at.
Trump's opting to skip the election and head to the caucus Thursday night, where his only competition is someone who nobody has even heard of. And the best part for Trump? You need a photo ID!
