This week on the podcast, the first rule of marching is you show up to the march even when the march is annoying you. Plus, Buzzfeed publishes second widely disputed bombshell that we’ll find out is completely credible in two years and Trump offers a “deal” to end shutdown that is just a worse version of a deal he’s already reneged on once. Then, a look at all 400 people who announced their presidential candidacies last week and plenty more!
BTL #231 - #NeverForget to #NeverRemember - 2/7/17
This week on BTL, when will the powers that be agree that America has been through enough?! This week we did it all: re-lived the horrors of election 2016 in football form, re-lived the horrors of Antonin Scalia in Trump-SCOTUS-pick form, celebrated the alt-facts version of Black History Month (thanks white people for creating black history!), commemorated the worst imaginary terrorist attack to ever hit US soil (#NeverRemember), and accidentally thwarted a coup attempt by cleverly allowing a complete idiot to attempt a coup with any professional assistance. Though this week felt like seven months in thought-time, we can confirm that it's only been one week in real time and the fact that we made it through is certainly something to celebrate. Join the fun!
BTL #220 - Free Stickers - 11/07/16
This week on BTL, it's our last chance to reach you before we all VOTE! VOTING! VOTING IS SO FUN! YOU SHOULD DO IT! We're here with all the latest polling, updates on the senate, info on the props, suggestions about where and how to get involved in #GOTV efforts, and so so so so much excitement about voting! So much! Plus, did you hear that recent FBI emails nonsense is already over? What a relief! Another relief: Trump's Twitter privileges were revoked. Who knew it was that easy? Tune in for it all and whatever you do, figure out where you're going to park BEFORE you get to the polling place. It's so much easier.
BTL #219 - Boo! - 10/31/16
Election Countdown: Nine Days! This week on BTL, we dissect they latest of many October Surprises - this has been the surprisiest final month in election history! Clinton's emails might be a non-starter, but the Comey controversy is just getting started. Plus, polls, Standing Rock, our first proof that voter fraud is real (among Trump voters, duh) and an update on Iceland's Pirate Party elections. WE'RE SO READY FOR THIS TO BE OVER!! But, then, what would we talk about?
How to Defeat Il Duce If You Still Don't Like Clinton/Kaine Pt. 2
BTL #211 - Babies Who Know Sarcasm - 8/8/16
This week on BTL...Donald Trump has his worst week ever and Hillary Clinton has her best week thanks to a complete lack of contact with, in the world's of Duce Trump, "the paparazzi." Plus we've got updates from the Green Party Convention, the Libertarian Town Hall on CNN, and the scientific experts at Hollywood Reporter hellbent on bringing us the Donald Trump finger-size-proof we've all been waiting for. Thank God none they aren't making euphemism for the size of another body part, right?
BTL #210 - Democratic Dancing - 8/1/16
This week on the podcast... Don't you want to have as much fun as Bill Clinton is having in this picture? Then listen to us discuss the DNC and all that transpired behind the scenes on this week's podcast! Plus, Trump's worst media week ever, and some nifty campaigning ideas for the progressives among us!
BTL #206 - Run For Office - 6/20/16
This week on BTL, we know it's hot and hard to focus on anything but popsicles and swimming pools, but we'd love some answers regarding what our actual election results were here! 1.5 million ballots still uncounted? Let's fix that! Then our two great loves, gun control and filibusters, collided last week for an epic democratic-led 15 hour gun control filibuster that warmed our hearts and lifted our spirits but possibly wont result in any actual change. And those are only two of the zillions of things we covered this week. We'd think of more to tease but it's too hot. Just listen. We promise it'll be fun.
