In this episode we’ll focus on two main subjects: the mainstream media's gaslighting of Americans and the Republican Party’s ongoing descent into madness. With that being said, we’ll talk about Jake Tapper’s concern trolling over the cost of Medicare for All, and the Washington Post’s mind-numbingly stupid attack on Bernie Sanders’ ‘Stop BEZOS Act’ as well as an update to the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process, Trump’s grotesque lie about Puerto Rico, John Bolton’s threats to the International Criminal Court, Ted Cruz’s new scam, Blaire White’s exposé on right-wing political commentators, Ajit Pai’s attack on California’s net neutrality bill, Bill Maher’s advice for Democrats, and more. Enjoy!
