In this episode we’ll talk about the various ways Republicans are continuing their love affair with corporations while simultaneously screwing over the American people. First, we’ll discuss how they gave Comcast and Verizon permission to sell your private online information. Why? Because they’re bought and paid for by broadband companies that want to exploit consumers. We’ll also talk about the handouts President Trump keeps giving to the richest 1% of Americans, while simultaneously taking steps to harm average American workers. Additionally, we’ll tackle spineless Democrats that have decided to cave to President Trump with respect to his Supreme Court nomination, and discuss the latest nonsense espoused by the DNC’s establishment all-stars, Debbie & Donna. Finally, we’ll talk with Nick Brana, founder of the #DraftBernie movement. All of these topics as well as more will be covered in this episode. Enjoy!
