Curmudgeon’s Corner: Sitting on my Porch

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner Sam and Ivan’s main topics are the debate on Donald Trump’s “legitimacy”, the fun of the final week of the transition, and the Chelsea Manning commutation. In addition though, they discuss reviving old computers, the “wet foot, dry foot” policy, Joe Biden, an odd Presidential succession edge case, and more!

Curmudgeon’s Corner: Hiding the Children

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan’s main topics are Trump’s appointments so far, his call with the President of Taiwan, and the Pizzagate gunman incident. Aside from those, they talk a little about Sam’s “day of smells” and an issue with a computer monitor. Ivan’s brain exploded after talking about Pizzagate though, so no lightning round this week. Also, we recorded before the latest on Russia election interference, so maybe next week on that! :-)
