Meet the (Third Party) Candidates: Jill Stein

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!

BTL #238 - Things Nobody Wants - 3/27/17

This week on BTL, we clicked our heels and the wicked AHCA is gone! The wicked AHCA is gone! What an adventure of a week, what a ride. What began with strong arm tactics on Monday devolved into bizarre pleas by Thursday and outright failure by Friday and we take you through the whole thing, step by step! BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! We've got updates on the stories that didn't get the headlines this week - the odd Nunes revelations about Trump's dealings abroad, the Gorsuch hearing, and some terrible things that are happening to your privacy.  Relive the glory of Paul Ryan's massive defeat (long time coming) with us!

BTL #230 - The Gossipy Side of a Constitutional Crisis [SPECIAL GUEST: William Floyd, LA County Dems] - 1/30/17

This week on BTL, join us for a walk down memory lane as we recount every single horrifying thing that happened in the last week.  Yup, week.  Trump has only been the president for a week.  We're already mid-constitutional crisis, we've already pissed off most of the world, and Trump's staff keeps tweeting us their passwords so things are leakier over there than a paper pipe.  On the bright side, if you enjoy protesting, you'll have lots of opportunities coming up.  Also, if you enjoy engaging in Wikipedia mischief, this next year is probably going to be your holy grail.

Also if you're pissed, get involved at the local level!  Don't miss our interview with William Floyd of the LA County Democrats to find out more about what that means.

BTL #225 - Rant Day - 12/17/16

This week on a special bi-coastal BTL, we've got a few things to get off our chests.  Yes, we know all about Russia's hacking and yes we're horrified.  Yes we know all about the electoral college vote and yes we're terrified.  But no we wont accept that the Democrats lost this race solely because of James Comey and Voldermort Putin, and we'll tell you why politically it's not even worth making the claim.  Plus we're all over covering our history of fake news and future of fake morals!  Listen while you load of up on latke potatoes or Christmas ham (or a nondenominational food of your choice)!  Then give us the gift of a rating on iTunes.
