We here at Brain Trust Live are now officially voters in the 2020 election! Yep, we’re 2 of the 22 million people who have already cast ballots. This means we are also 2 people who just REALLY wish we could disconnect from reality until this election is over. But because we’re such caring people, we’ve read all the news anyway just so we can rant about it to you! We’ve got it all - dueling town halls, SCOTUS hearings, the latest Trump conspiracy theories, and so much more!

You definitely don’t want to miss it!

Well, 2020 rages on…the same week we lay RBG to rest, we get a new SCOTUS nominee who belongs to a Catholic cult. So…that’s that. Now, will democrats really have the balls to go full kabuki theater to block the nomination? We’ll cover it all, as well as the tragically inadequate charges brought against one of the officers in the Breonna Taylor murder, the upcoming presidential debate, the new pared down Covid-19 relief bill, and we’ll fill you in on the latest phrase sweeping the campaign trail…”THE LID”!

Well, we sure hope you weren’t expecting us to not go on an hour long tirade about the Democratic National Convention this week, because we definitely do that. Plus, we’ll get you all prepped for this week’s RNC, which is sure to be good/terrible/insane train-wreck TV (aka - our favorite kind). And most importantly, we seek to answer one of life’s great questions: how many collared shirts is the right amount to be wearing at one time when getting arrested on a $28M yacht?
