How many times during Trump administration were you outraged or saddened and ashamed what OUR country had become under Trump. Well, this podcast breaks it all down weekly and brings you up to date as far as this post-Trump presidency looks. Trump in 2024? Unless you can be President from JAIL‼️ LOCK HIM UP!
Celeste Headlee is my jam
Excellent podcast w/ Celeste Headlee!! Very engaging and informative. Thank you.
Thank you
Speaking as a pretty liberal democrat, I truly enjoy listening to your intelligent and honest podcast. I have never viewed Republicans as my enemy, just my fellow Americans who have different ideas. Hopefully the dialogue and understanding continues and we all work together to end T**** and his fascist cult... The true enemy of our shared democracy.
