🚨Trump CAUGHT in DISTRACTION ATTEMPT as CHAOS ERUPTS | Mea Culpa


Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back JoJo From Jerz, political commentator, activist, and host of the Are You F’ng Kidding Me? and The Siren Podcast for a fiery breakdown of Trump’s escalating power plays. From the absurdity of the Cracker Barrel culture wars to his federal police takeover schemes, JoJo and I tackle gerrymandering in Texas, GOP attacks on voting rights, and how Democrats should fight fire with fire. We also dig into Trump’s hollow “law and order” rhetoric, his self-indulgent cabinet meetings, and the dangerous politicization of institutions like the Federal Reserve and FEMA. With humor and hard truth, JoJo exposes how MAGA thrives on distraction while dismantling democracy in plain sight.
