This week, we toast to the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as we simultaneously bid farewell to the disgusting family of garbage monsters departing the White House. We speculate on Karen Pence’s future as a towel charm entrepreneur, as well as possible synergies with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, the crackhead-turned-businessman-turned-seditionist who, according to the Daily Mail, may have been romantically involved with the actress Jane Krakowski. Finally, we delve into an emerging literary genre: Antifa fan fiction.  HEAR US ON ITUNEShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-nope/OVERCASThttps://overcast.fm/itunes1312654524/this-week-in-nope SPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/show/07WFZhd5bgY1l1BspArfRJSTITCHERhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/this-week-in-nopeSOUNDCLOUDhttps://soundcloud.com/user-518735966/tracksPOCKET CASTShttps://pca.st/SrJY RADIO PUBLIChttps://radiopublic.com/this-week-in-nope-GAOx3N In this week’s episode: Watch Amanda Gorman’s recitation of her poem, ‘The Hill We Climb’ here. Big #YUP to…Poet laureate Amanda Gorman. Senator Bernie Sanders, fashion icon. In addition to Twitter, you can now also follow us on Goodpods, a new app that will help you discover great podcasts.

What a week. After we decided not to record last Wednesday because of the ongoing assault on our Democracy, we’re back to discuss the insurrection and describe the cast of coup characters like the Qanon Shaman and his pelt-clad henchmen. In the midst of the rioting, Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump each accidentally dialed Sen. Mike Lee looking for another Senator–Alabama’s Tommy Tuberville–and asked him to help them in their harebrained scheme to overturn the election. Meanwhile, Trump supporters in Florida defaced a manatee and Melania Trump participated in a photo shoot about rugs. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s wife Louise Linton has a new film coming out in a few weeks in which she plays “a materialistic, narcissistic, self-absorbed, raging misanthrope” who “may or may not have an undiagnosed personality disorder.” (In other words, a biopic.) Finally, we mourn the death of Dr. Harold Bornstein, a legend in the fields of gastroenterology and literature.

With this week's horrific and shameful acts of terrorism in the nation's capital, we decided it's just not a week for comedy. Besides, we're exhausted. We'll be back next week, and hopefully by then Donald Trump will no longer have access to the nuclear codes.

The RNC kicked off this week with a trifecta of debacles: Steve Bannon was arrested by U.S. Postal Service Inspectors on a yacht, Republican Senator Martha McSally asked supporters to starve themselves and donate their food money to her campaign and–as we long suspected–evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr. was revealed to have been in a throuple with his wife and a pool boy.
