It’s that time again! Our CA Prop Guide is here! It covers all seven state-wide props with our usual mix of panache and…mild irritation. Feel free to share this guide far and wide because, look, nobody has time to research all the motherf*ing props this state throws at us.
We've put together a handy cheat sheet for the California propositions on the ballot this November so you can earn that "I Voted" sticker!
A standalone version of the Jill Stein interview and rally segment from last week's podcast.
A list of websites that can help you identify downticket races to get involved in.
Green party candidate for president Jill Stein. Democrats believe she’s the Yoko Ono of the presidential race. Donald Trump believes she’s...yet another faceless disgusting woman who probably has periods. Both major parties would like you to think she’s some sort of dreadlock-y hippie that isn’t worth your time. If corporate shills and/or flat out insane people aren’t your cup of tea, join us as we meet our first of the two major third party candidates and dive a little deeper into this thing called democracy!
This week, two of our absolute favorite topics converge…Veepstakes and Scientology! Another favorite topic: VOTING. Guys, get your mail-in ballots! We’ve got all this, plus all the latest on the Covid disaster, the economic disaster, and the disaster of a response from Congress. And don’t think for one second we won’t be discussing demon semen.
This week on BTL…a uniquely American discussion about why you CAN’T SEND KIDS TO SCHOOL DURING A PANDEMIC. Seriously guys, we shouldn’t need to tell you, but here we are. And speaking of that pesky pandemic, you guessed it, it’s even worse than it was just last week. We’ve got all this, plus election results, fundraising numbers, and all the juicy details from Mary Trump’s tell all!
Last week we we begged for Joe Biden to emerge and show leadership, and this week…all of America is begging him to immediately go back into hiding. But hey, at least we were able to pass a $2T Coronavirus relief bill, and in doing so, realize that we can just make up $2T! That’s right, don’t let ANYONE ask you how we’re going to pay for anything ever again. So settle in and get ready to Invoke Some P on this week’s episode!
Well, we’re in a pandemic, guys. This week’s podcast was recorded from two different homes because…social distancing…but we didn't want to miss the chance to talk about Sunday’s bizarro audience-less debate, Trump’s lack of basic scientific understanding and denial, and all the increasing pandemonium of having no competent leadership during a dramatic pandemic. Also, sorry about your 401K. (And ours.) Maybe having basic social protections (but isn’t that socialism!?) isn’t such a bad thing after all?
This week on the podcast, we’ve been hearing so much about the 1968 Democrats that we brought our own boomer onto the show to relive that time and discuss how it compares to now. Plus, updates on our Senate 2020 project, thoughts on how to move on from the crushing blow of Super Tuesday, and one area in which we definitely did win: Chris Matthews is gone!
There's no new podcast this week, but…we’ve started a newsletter!
Our goal is to make you sound smart to your friends (and more importantly, for us to sound smart to you). From now on, whenever we don't get the chance to record a podcast, we'll be providing a news summary right here in your inbox! That way, everybody's smarts get their moment in the sun. Here's what happened this week:
Click HERE to get the next newsletter, as well as voting guides and other (but not an annoying number of) updates, sent straight to your inbox.
This week on the podcast, it's tax reform time! (Or it would be if the GOP didn't keep shooting themselves in the foot.) Also, now that the GOP is dying to have a pederast in the Senate, harassment accusations and hypocritical Twitter lectures are flying! Let's see what Trump what kind of trouble Trump can get into with those extra 140 letters! Plus, a real life hobby ghost hunter is coming to a court near you...if you live in Alabama. Of course.
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!
