2025-08-16: In Reality

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner Sam and Ivan do hit the main news and politics of the week. That is of course the Trump/Putin summit, the Feds in DC, Gerrymandering, Newsom stepping up, Dem leadership failing to meet the moment, and all that stuff. And before that, long names, cars, and of course a movie. Woo! You can't want more than this, can you?
