They saved me
They got me through the Tr*mp years. An island of sanity. Thank you.
Memorial Day show
This episode contains no real Content. Understood it was a holiday effort but it was completely STUPID. if they were hoping to attract subscribers to their paid podcast, they completely missed the mark. This was the most singular example of online stupidity I have ever seen. They were completely involved with each other. It suggests the only persons interested in subscribing would be themselves.
The Worst
They were bias against pretty much all the Dem candidates in 2020 except Elizabeth Warren, showing they aren’t objective and they don’t know what they’re talking about. Warren was the absolute worst candidate ever lol, and lost horribly. I don’t even know why their podcast popped up on my screen just now. Guess I forgot to unsubscribe.
