Love listening all the way from Scotland.
Unlistenable
This dreadful woman is a prime example of how liberal America and the Democrats have not learned their lesson from the rise of Trump, and it’s the likes of her that will probably see him or someone like him, perhaps even worse, re-elected. She is haughty, conceited, smug, arrogant and self-satisfied and anyone who doesn’t share her views, which are the predictable package of off the shelf woke opinions that are invariably parroted by her side, is sneered at as a moron and some kind of knuckle-dragging troglodyte. She’s the sort of person who would proudly display BLM in her bio, but the only black person she’s ever had in her house is her cleaner. Although not particularly articulate and doesn’t come across as especially intelligent, she clearly fancies herself as a raconteur with a razor sharp wit, and her excruciating voice, which is a weird melange of vocal fry, uptalk and transposed vowels, delivers her braying at ear-splitting volume through a bullhorn.
Swearathon extrordinaire
Jesus H Christ!!! There was so much swearing on this pod, I had to pause the show twice to shower the filth away.
Agreed the USA is in a mighty frickin bad place - but you guys are educated, there must be a smoother way to express the rage.
