Customer Reviews
Hard to believe
I’m a Canadian living in Canada. No law degree and quite frankly I’m not a very smart man. I also have a dog, and my dog explain to me what was wrong with what your president did down there and this McAuley can’t figure it out. You people have a bigger greater problem then you can even imagine down there by the sounds of it if this is the politician you have leading you.
What a good listen
Congratulations all thank y’all for the professionalism in the projectSkulduggery. I Wish the casting team would continue working on the show but the decision is yours. Hope we have another chance at the entertainment again soon. 🛎️🛎️🛎️👍🛶🇨🇦
Whataboutist
This podcast takes false equivalence to wild and spectacular new heights. There's zero intellectual underpinning to anything. They literally say "What about...?" many times per episode. If Isikoff were slapped in the face by Ted Cruz, his police statement would be "Cruz supporters say Cruz would never slap anyone in the face so obviously I was never slapped by anyone." Thank goodness Victoria Basetti chimes in occasionally to discuss actual reality as opposed to the bizarre fantasy the other two live in.
