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 #389 - Never Run For A Third Term In New York - 3/1/21

Wow, guys. CPAC. Just…wow. We’ll give you the whole rundown, including a deep analysis of one of the most spectacularly bad renditions of the national anthem ever caught on film. Plus, the house passed the $1.9T covid relief bill, but Biden also opened some child migrant detention facilities, dropped some bombs in Syria, and just shrugged his shoulders when we learned that the Saudi Crown Prince did indeed kill Jamal Kashoggi. So a real mixed bag of a week! We’ll cover it all, so don’t miss out!

BTL #388 - The Weather Messed With Texas - 2/22/21

It’s quite a milestone here for us this week! The man who featured so heavily in BTL #1 is dead! We’re talking about Rush Limbaugh, a man who all the way until his death had no idea how birth control worked. Plus, we’ll talk everything Texas, our love for Joe Manchin (didn’t see that coming did you?!) and Biden’s newfound lack of empathy for every day people. Check it out!

BTL #380 - Saving America's Leading Science Deniers - 12/21/20

It’s almost one month to the day until Joe Biden is president! So, we felt it important to give you permission to hate all of his cabinet picks except Deb Haaland. Plus, we’ll give you all the details on this new stimulus bill (including a breaking news cameo from Carla Nordstrom). Turns out, it’s just as lame and un-stimulating as you’d imagine. We’ve got all this, plus vaccine updates, Bill Barr’s “resignation”, and Space Force. Ugg…Space Force.
