OnlyLands Ep. 45: Tariff Tantrums, Courtroom Plot Twists & Democracy Spirals

chaos, and at least three simultaneous hot takes per minute. The crew kicks things off with reactions to the Supreme Court’s tariff ruling, unpacking what it means for executive power, trade policy, and whether this was a legal gut punch or just a strategic detour.
From there, it’s off to the races: trade war theatrics, media spin cycles, economic ripple effects, and the eternal question of who actually holds the levers of power. The conversation swerves into election integrity debates, voter ID battles, and institutional trust — with each host bringing their own flavor of skepticism, sarcasm, and semi-therapeutic venting.
It’s part constitutional analysis, part group chat meltdown, and part “are we living in a simulation?” Ep. 45 delivers the signature OnlyLands formula: serious topics, unserious delivery, and a roundtable that feels like Thanksgiving dinner — if everyone read the Federalist Papers before dessert.
