In this episode we’ll discuss President Trump’s recent announcement to expand and extend the United States’ involvement in Afghanistan. The saddest part is that he’s facing little to no resistance from the Democratic Party and media. Additionally, Trump threatened Venezuela with military action; a country that joins the ranks of North Korea and Iran, both of which were also threatened by Donald Trump. Also, we’ll talk about the backlash neo-nazis received after Charlottesville, Elizabeth Warren’s fiery Netroots Nation speech, Bernie Sanders’ push for single-payer, Joy Reid and Joan Walsh’s shenanigans, MSNBC’s coverage of net neutrality, and more!
