There is Only One Issue Worth Voting on in 2016

There is Only One Issue Worth Voting on in 2016

Here’s a bold declaration:  Despite the rancor accompanying this year's races and last year’s congressional session, there is only one issue worth voting on.  It’s a deceptively simple issue too; massively important, but, oddly, still one a vast majority of Americans agree on.

BTL #184 - #HillaryPillory, The Movement - 1/18/16

Join us this week on BTL as we discuss where our medium tolerance of the idea of maybe voting for Hillary Clinton in the general met it's natural end. Misrepresenting corporate ties was one (bad) thing, but misrepresenting single-payer healthcare and Bernie Sander's (superior) health platform is where we draw the line. We're legit not having her in any way shape or form! Come for the rage, stay for our rundowns of the rest of this action-packed week: Tuesday's State of the Union, Thursday's GOP Debate, Sunday's Dem Debate, and the latest on Iran followed by our coverage of the infuriating/criminal Flint, MI water situation.  The episode is long but worth it!

BTL #181 - Talk Of Retirement - 12/20/15

This week on a special bi-coastal BTL, we're joining the chorus of people who think it's time for Debbie Wasserman Schultz to give up the ghost and leave the DNC in less compromised/incompetant hands.  Though even her Saturday debate scheduling couldn't stop us from sort of semi-watching the Dem Debate, most of what we took away involved Martin O'Malley being super irrelevant and a little sad.  One debate we didn't snore through, however, was last week's GOP debate because GUYS it was 25% fresh shenanigans (though, sadly, also 75% warmongering)!  Tune in for our rundown of both debates and more before we disappear for two full weeks into the Christmas ether!

"Experience" and "Good Ideas" are not the same thing

"Experience" and "Good Ideas" are not the same thing

It’s time for us to have a chat with America about the value of Hillary’s foreign policy “experience," because “experience” and “good ideas” are not interchangeable.

In which we call out one individual Congresswoman from rando-California-land as the biggest threat to our (and America's) email sanity.  A primer in what not to do as you plan your next campaign...

Enough With the Panic

Enough With the Panic

We talked about this on the podcast but decided to reiterate it because IT IS IMPORTANT.  If you read last week’s news, you might be under the impression that liberal hero Sen. Sherrod Brown’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton is cause to panic, curl into a ball, throw away all your #feelthebern tee shirts, and stop going on with the business of living.  STOP THAT.  We'll tell you why.
