Charles Bursell Presents

Hey Democrats, do your job or get out of the way for those who will. Also, nobody except numbskull neocons favor Netanyahu's illegal war, and political violence is not only immoral, it's downright stupid.  www.charlesbursell.com

The week was particularly violent, both in the real world and in the cosplaying Chickenhawk In Chief's fascist reality TV show. Still dangerous, the Regime is backpedaling while the resistance ascends.   www.charlesbursell.com

Show Notes: The Resistance has room to grow. Don't ask, demand. American Fascists are miles ahead of their Twentieth Century counterparts. The press fails to cover Hegseth and covers for him. The Regime's ideological purity test includes a pro-Capitalist pledge. Turn off the video, audio is superior. Harvard's free online classes. How to unplug the Tech-Bro Monarchs forever: abolish money.  

Some needed context in the cold and lawless attack on immigrants: The Regime bolsters its cruel authoritarian project, who the police swore to serve and protect, for-profit media lies, the discipline of nonviolence, the difference between protest rallies and direct action, and corporate Dems usurp the resistance. www.charlesbursell.com

LA protesters stand up to ICE, Elon Musk's political rapid unscheduled disassembly, the German Chancellor schools the Orange Clown in front of the world, and in a victory for due process, Kilmar is back on US soil to face down trumped-up charges.  www.charlesbursell.com

The big bill is as bad as you've heard – transferring wealth to the rich while gutting essential health and safety regulations – and much, much worse: like guaranteeing certain death for hundreds of thousands who rely on subsidized health or international aid. Oh, and it “legalizes” American Fascism. Think I'm exaggerating? Read the bill. Then kill it. www.charlesbursell.com

The MAGA pod people, a sad collection of dorks and bastards who rely on hate and lies to hold power, have snatched the Iowa Senator. Plus: Gaza is one giant war crime, a moral victory for West Point, and free thinking may not be what you think it is.  www.charlesbursell.com

From Gaza to Ukraine to the latest Orange Menace mayhem, imagine how each story would be different if we lived in a real democracy. And then, let every decision you make, and every action you take, demand that democracy.  www.charlesbursell.com

Several years (from the 90s to today) of questionable audio bits, improv, tests,  and outtakes swept off the cutting room floor and tossed into a goofy collage episode. Enjoy! 

The Big Abomination Bill gives 25% of total tax cuts to the Super Wealthy (top 0.1%) and 66% to the Just Plain Wealthy. The Working Poor will LOSE a thousand dollars a year they already don't have. The good news: They will probably fail spectacularly. The bad news: ICE is still the F-ing Gestapo.  www.charlesbursell.com

To prove a point, this episode has an intentionally provocative title to see if it results in more clicks, illustrating one of the problems with so-called “new media” on the socials. Also: we discuss the latest headlines, the Trump Doctrine and… really, is he gay?  www.charlesbursell.com

Corruption and incompetence still define the regime even as they seem to be riffing wildly on policy. Will enough Americans resist, or will they trade their freedom for a place in the new authoritarian bourgeoisie.  www.charlesbursell.com

To the war mongers we are cannon fodder. To the money mongers we are the dead eyed, docile workers of Metropolis. Throw yourself on the gears. Strike! Boycott! Stop the fascist machine. Shut it down.  www.charlesbursell.com

Co-hosts Chuck and Chucky discuss the new Pope and the (zero) chances of church reform from their perspective as recovering Catholics and happy atheists. www.charlesbursell.com

In the never ending arms race between private profit and government regulations there can be no winner. It's time to chuck them both, especially with the likes of AI, the climate crisis, and fascism breathing down our neck.  www.charlesbursell.com

Every odious offense of the regime falls under two basic themes: gut federal services and take dictatorial control of what's left. Don't let the daily avalanche of horrible headlines overwhelm you. Historians can sort out the details, we need to stay focused on the fight for democracy.   www.charlesbursell.com

Some Democrats are finally starting to talk tough about taking down the regime, jumping in front of the parade and pretending to lead. If that's what it takes, fine, welcome to the fight. Also, is the Orange Menace a big joke or is he genuinely dangerous? It's not an either/or question.   www.charlesbursell.com

A “big tent” coalition to defeat The Regime? Fine. But if we want a real democracy, ditch that metaphor for a better one: “build a better mousetrap.” Also: it's time to force Congress's hand on impeachment. Plus: a starter list of “know your rights” resources.   www.charlesbursell.com

YouTube pundits, stop pretending you're journalists and join the revolution. Real news media with actual journalists, declare the administration a rogue regime and cover it accordingly. Also, which Repugs to pressure on impeachment.    www.charlesbursell.com

The fascist Regime continues its authoritarian agenda in defiance of Congress, the courts, international law, and public opinion. Impeachment is the only solution at this point. Luckily, Charles Bursell has a plan!  www.charlesbursell.com

The Regine has crossed a red line by tossing innocent people into foreign concentration camps, brazenly defying orders from the nation's highest court, and offering only obvious lies and propaganda in defense. Now is the time for Americans to show their contempt and bring down the Orange Menace. World Day of Action is Saturday April 19th. www.charlesbursell.com

It's entirely possible that within days the Insurrection Act and even Martial Law will be deployed in order to terrorize immigrants and suppress peaceful protest. Without panicking, the pro-democracy resistance must plan strategy and tactics going forward.  www.charlesbursell.com

The Regime is openly preparing for violence against street protesters. As such, it is time for mass consumer boycotts and labor strikes to take a central role in the movement. For that, we'll need a strong foundation of mutual aid. What is Mutual Aid? This episode provides an overview. www.charlesbursell.com

Now that we can stop wetting ourselves over tariffs (or can we?) let's try to get clear-eyed about our current dire situation. Convicted felons are openly discussing war crimes in the Oval Office, the cold-as-ICE American Gestapo is running amok, and The Supreme Court is playing hide-and-seek with the Constitution. It's time to do our homework on mutual aid and make some tangible plans for resisting state violence.   www.charlesbursell.com

The whole damn government is burning while Democrats, media, and major institutions watch helplessly. Good. Let them all go down together. They're responsible for the rot that bought us here in the first place.  www.charlesbursell.com

With a stunning Wisconsin win, Cory Booker's dramatic filibuster, raucous Town Halls and rallies, and an unbeaten streak in the courts, the resistance is having a watershed moment. Seemingly undeterred, the Regime continues its constitutional crime spree, its dangerous financial and foreign policies, and appears now, in its own defining moment, to be openly planning for violence.  www.charlesbursell.com

We in the pro-democracy movement need to state our demands strongly and clearly. Here are my top ten suggestions. Spoiler alert, number one is impeachment. Also: perjury, war powers, and bad grammar in Signalgate. And: the courts are with us so far.   www.charlesbursell.com

The abuse of language is a lethal tool in the abuse of power. What will you say when that reporter puts a mic in front of your face? Are you ready? Advice on keeping the fascists' receipts for future generations. Also, continuing boycotts and rallies, and Spring Election early voting is happening now.  www.charlesbursell.com

I believe we can win the war for democracy in America, but just how bad can it get before we do? We need the courts to hang strong, a “mad as hell” turning point from someone in the media, and it'd be great if the Dems shattered into pieces. Then at least maybe they could rise again as something useful. In the meantime we have to fight for ourselves, because apparently no one is coming to save us.  www.charlesbursell.com

With the unlawful arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil the Regime has crossed the line into straight-up Nazi level crimes. Also, the public pressure is starting to rattle the fascists. Keep it up! We keep you posted on upcoming events, boycotts, and strikes. And, are Muskrat and The Orange Menace crazy, stupid, or just plain high? www.charlesbursell.com

The resistance is growing and that's good, but protest alone won't be enough. The fascist coup is attacking swiftly. We have to meet the assault with mass disruption. It's time to shut down systems. It's time to show American government, finance, and media who really has the power: The American People.   www.charlesbursell.com

Random, rescued thoughts on our pro-democracy anti-fascist fight. A testimonial warning from Orban's Hungary. A word from Groucho. www.charlesbursell.com

The fascist coup is still couping, but the courts are still with us and our pro-democracy movement is picking up steam. We boycott Amazon starting Friday March 7. The next big march is on Saturday March 8, International Women's Day. Find an event near you. It's all about direct action now! 

We defeated the Monarchy, the Confederacy, Jim Crow, and the Axis Powers of two World Wars. In the new global alignment it's now up to we the people of The United States and Europe to win our generation's greatest challenge.   www.charlesbursell.com

In the war against American fascism we must reject corporate jobs and products (strikes and boycotts) and replace them with local economies and mutual aid. After we win, this blueprint should be made permanent.  www.charlesbursell.com

The Economic Blackout is only the first warning shot in what will be a long commitment, but the battle is joined. It's time we get specific about our demands: Impeach Trump, rescind all of his executive orders, restore all department and agency personnel and funding to their pre-January 20th 2025 levels, deport Musk, impeach Vance and remove the entire Cabinet for their complicity in destroying American democracy. That'll do for starters.  www.charlesbursell.com

Join the National Economic Boycott against chainsaw economics, the betrayal of Ukraine, deportation terror, an American Caesar, and an attempted coup of the U.S. Military. Don't let corporate media confuse you. It's all ONE story: The Orange Menace and and his oligarch buddy want to join the alliance of global strongmen. Let's show them who's got the real power of numbers. www.charlesbursell.com

le Coup et Résistance, MagaNewSpeak, America Girl (by Jesse Welles), Call It.  www.charlesbursell.com

Our Economic Boycott is coming February 28th with more nationwide events to follow, but you can start your activism right now. Public resignations and court cases have drawn only sparse media attention. We have to make the resistance too big to ignore.  www.charlesbursell.com

Pudgy, Pasty, Self-imposed Idiot Dicktator Elon Musk and his Lying, Vulgar, Little Cuck Trump continue their Lawless Coup attempt, taking a wrecking ball to the Constitution. Each of us is called on by the resistance to do what we do and to do what we can. With no more and no less, we can win and we will win. www.charlesbursell.com

This episode provides an overview of our upcoming series focused on direct citizen action. A comprehensive guide on what you can do to resist and defeat the fascist Orange Regime. www.charlesbursell.com

Going forward, as a response to our national emergency, this program will be devoted to the resistance. We'll present a series of programs about the upcoming national boycott and general strike, building community, mutual aid, protests, direct action, and much more. We start today with a prelude: Bernie Sanders' call to action. www.charlesbursell.com

The Orange Menace flirts with his own Mao-style cultural revolution. Practical tips on what you can do to fight for democracy, including the upcoming Economic Blackout! Good news / bad news updates. The latest on hacker-in-chief Elon Musk and what he really wants. www.charlesbursell.com

While The Orange Menace entertains us with his psychopath clown show out front, Elon Himmler, er, I mean Musk, worms his way into the very gears of government. They'll capture what they want for themselves and destroy whatever's left. That is, unless we goddamn do something about it. Today!.   www.charlesbursell.com

The Regime is hitting super-villain heights of lawlessness and depravity. Enemies are being purged, whole systems responsible for the wellbeing of innocent people around the globe are being corrupted and destroyed. We call on Washington to impeach The Orange Menace and to arrest his henchman Elon Musk for sedition.  www.charlesbursell.com

Week two of the regime sees more federal lawlessness and terror, media tumult, Democratic Party fecklessness, a knockout win for RFK Jr, and yes, some promising reasons to keep fighting.   www.charlesbursell.com

The rapid fire barrage of MAGA policies to reshape America into an authoritarian beast on the world stage is showing early success. The time to fight back is right damn now before it's too late.  www.charlesbursell.com
