    The Tabloid Candidate

    David Pecker’s testimony in Trump's trial highlights how his lies and misinformation dominated his 2016 campaign. And Marco Rubio's pathetic attempt to become Trump's veep has led him to vote against funding for Ukraine, but the gang is pretty sure conservative "normies" will eat the selection up. 

    Plus, the potential for RFK Jr. to hurt Trump, rather than Biden, the reason why foreign aid finally got done, and protests at Columbia University.

one of my go to podcasts

One of my favorite political podcasts to listen to because it’s not just doom and gloom- they are actually funny too.

I just listen to the 1860s are back episode and the part about Sarah fan girling- so funny. I was laughing so hard i almost woke up my sleeping kids. we’ve all had horrible awkward moments so thanks for sharing. 😂

Medicinal Podcast: I see a guy

can I just say Sarah's story about being unable to speak coherently around Sec. Pete Buttigieg, was so genuinely funny I had to chime in to say it uplifted my jaded heart 🖤 I recommend

A UK fan ,

Roe

When the ridiculous and small Justice Alito bragged during his trip to Rome the summer after the overturning of Roe, it was clear that he is, not only out of touch with the United States populace but his IGNORANCE of who woman are and their intellect is beyond his own reach!

He lead the charge to tell 50% of your population that they are less than. What a dried up husk of a human (questionable) is he.

You need to choose better.
