The Betches Sup Podcast Betches Media

On today’s Sup podcast, Alise and Amanda anticipate November 3, 2020, and how we need to start re-imaging what election day will look like and share their plans to hold themselves accountable. They break down additional threats to the USPS and how throughout history, politicians have eliminated voters instead of bothering to appeal to them. Finally, they discuss violence in Chicago and why the pandemic is crucial context for unrest.

Alise and Sami are back to break down the president’s weekend assembling large groups of people in a COVID haunted house, issuing meaningless executive actions, and insisting coronavirus will magically disappear. They discuss a motorcycle rally currently descending on South Dakota with 250,000 attendees as the country mourns 160,000 COVID deaths. Finally, run through what Trump’s executive orders over the weekend actually do, what they don’t, and whether Democrats are right to hold out on a bigger stimulus deal.

Sami and Amanda are back to recount all the useless things Trump did yesterday before jetting off to his golf club while tens of millions of Americans await economic relief amid a deadly epidemic he has failed to contain. Then they discuss Biden’s moving deadline on announcing a VP. It was fun at first, but does the protracted timeline pit women against each other and reduced their dynamic careers to pros and cons lists? They discuss why Benghazi will be a factor in Susan Rice’s consideration even though it shouldn’t, and how the press should stop treating the election as a beauty contest and focus more on Trump’s attempts to undermine it.

Next, they discuss Facebook finally (kind of) doing the right thing by removing Trump’s post with misinformation about kids not being able to get Coronavirus. Finally, they wrap up with some updates on the Trump campaign's vendetta against mail-in voting (except for in Florida).

Kaitlin and Amanda are back to debrief on yet *another* huge night of primaries in the election season that never ends. They share details of the devastating explosion in Lebanon, which will exacerbate an existing economic and political crisis already worsened by the pandemic. Finally, they run through the federal assistance programs about to expire as eviction moratoriums expire around the country, threatening to throw millions out of their homes. They share resources and break down your rights if you’re facing eviction.

On today’s episode of the Sup podcast, Alise and Sami talk about how Jared Kushner’s secret plan for testing disappeared into thing air.
