BTL #342 - Pandemic - 3/16/20

BTL #342 - Pandemic - 3/16/20

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?

BTL #341 - Super Tuesday (w/ Guest Carla Nordstrom) - 3/9/20

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!

BTL #338 - We Must NEVER Vote for Michael Bloomberg - 2/17/19

This week on the podcast, two major points: Liz Warren should stay in the race for president come hell or high water, and we must NEVER, EVER, NEVEREVER vote for Michael Bloomberg. Don’t speak it, don’t think it, don’t justify it. That and, of course, updates on New Hampshire, the race as it stands, Tuesday’s DOJ massacre, and so much more.

BTL #334 - The Ken Starr Comeback Tour - 1/20/20

This week on BTL, Donald Trump and Lev Parnas were definitely friends because there are a million pictures out there just like this one! Plus, we’ll share one really important self-care tip for the next #DemDebate, which you’ll need because next week’s TV schedule is going to be 25 hours a day of CSPAN thanks to Impeachment Palooza 2020! Thank God Ken Starr is doing a comeback tour! It’s all this and much, much more!

BTL #334 - Sham Trial Season - 1/12/20

We’re back from our holiday break and springing right into action! We have no choice, since Nancy Pelosi is sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate THIS WEEK. Get ready for sham trial season! Plus we’ve got Iran updates, election news, and unfortunate information about what exactly an earthquake swarm is and why they make us nervous.

Bernie Sanders is the Definition of "Electable"

Bernie Sanders is the Definition of "Electable"

Around this time in every election cycle, voters get obsessively wrapped up in identifying the presidential candidate that most exudes “electability.” Unfortunately, nobody has a clue as to what that entails. That’s why we’ve decided to make the electability case in a simple way, using the cold, hard, undeniable, poll and stat-based facts.
