![Jill Stein Rally/Interview [Segment from BTL #216]](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5605bea6e4b0b215acc2070b/1476470112405-UQAK5032EHER6VBGEV3U/IMG_3331.JPG)
This week on an all-new BTL, Donald Trump's Nevada blowout saw him promising that he's going to bring us “so much everything” when he’s president. If "everything" involves more of his accidental slam poetry, then we're in. If it involves more racism, however, we're not. Will update. Plus, Thursday's GOP Debate was more bananas than ever and showed an emerging trend in the GOP field: campaigning exclusively via insult comedy. (Policy proposals are so 2015.) Also, anybody who’s anybody in whatever the opposite of MENSA is endorsed Donald Trump this week, Clinton had a BLOWOUT win in South Carolina, and Super Tuesday is upon us! (All signs point to Texas is proving once again that it can’t be trusted.) Then there's the NY Times' sudden Clinton takedown, some intelligentsia speculation that for once isn't about Beyonce, and the newest kind of militia to look out for in the post-Bundy world: toddlers. It's yet another week for the books and we have it all here!
There is Only One Issue Worth Voting on in 2016
Iowa Caucuses: The Results
BTL # 180 - Hungry Hungry Hippos - 12/14/15
This week on BTL...195 Countries are willing to take a chance on believing in climate change, which is a far better percentage than in our own Congress. Womp womp. And Ted Cruz is surging in Iowa while continuing to be in an irrelevant kind second place nationally. Life/New Hampshire can work in mysterious ways. Plus, Trump once again won the internet by losing at reasonable thought, but all this might be adding up to the most deliciously contentious GOP convention in recent history. We literally CANNOT WAIT. BRING ON THE DELEGATE THEFT! Unfortunately, regardless of what happens next the rent will remain too damn high because Jimmy McMillan is sick of wasting his time trying to solve this for us ungrateful fools who never elected him. Goodbye to all that needed discussion about rent and unneeded discussion about McMillan's his facial hair. We'll miss you both! All this and tons more! What a week!
BTL #177 - Friday the 13th - 11/17/15
Well let's not beat around the bush - this week was a mess. Thanks to those terrible attacks on Western Europe/the joy of Lila's birthday, most of us realized that terrorism-related death and destruction is happening everywhere. The world is a dangerous place and we're just living in it/hoping not to have cynical politicians team up with the terrorists to make us 100% scared at all times. BUT, we also had two debates, one for each party, and we've got plenty of thoughts on where the biggest schism in the GOP really lies, where the most interesting schism in the Democratic party lies, and how parroting Rudy Guiliani is never the right choice. Then on to some interesting protests heating up at universities nationwide and why SCOTUS hates our sanity so much. And tons more! Really. The extra day gave us too many thoughts!
Political Wordplay: 2016's Slogans Decoded
BTL # 176 - The Scientific Method - 11/9/15
This week on BTL...Tuesday’s election results were total garbage. You guys have to remember to vote (Kentucky, we're talking to you)! Also, don't bother learning anything about the life story of GOP frontrunner Ben Carson. Apparently it's all a lie AND science isn't science and history isn't really history and everything you know is wrong. Don't worry though, he promises from the bottom of his heart that the anecdote about him stabbing somebody is totes true. Plus, we'll tell you everything you didn't even know you didn't know about MSNBC's (secret?) Democratic candidates forum, last month's impressive jobs numbers, and the latest in the war on Christmas. Oh, and Sinkhole radio returns with an important PSA so listen like your life depends on it!
Meet The Candidates #4 - Marco Rubio: Thirsty for Success, Thirsty for Water
In this week’s Meet the Candidates, we’ll take a look at Marco Rubio, the GOP establishment’s next great hope for the presidency. He’s currently in 4th place, but hey, that’s about as high as an establishment candidate can get, so...winning! He’s also the most popular candidate from Florida and the most popular Cuban candidate, so he’s really killing it on those fronts. Other fronts Rubio’s killing it on? Boring credit card scandals, immigration flip-flopping, and religion switching. That’s right, did you know Rubio was once a young idealistic mormon?!? Get all the details here!
