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 #224 - Losing the Cold War - 12/13/16

This week on BTL, it's Red Scare Pt. II: the one where we actually lose the Cold War!  Welcome to life in the modern USSR.  sS far it's mostly viewings of The Apprentice and the promise of starvation wages but Trump is brewing up some additional cabinet trouble so stay tuned.  Of course no viewing of The Apprentice is as bad as listening to Ted Cruz describe his love of queso.  Plus, DNC updates, adventures in deal-making, and more!  Listen if you dare!  (But seriously, please listen.  Listening is fun!)

BTL #222 - The Case of the Missing Comp Seats - 11/21/16

This week on BTL, shit is getting real here in Trumpistan!  Transition team purges already underway?  Sen. Jeff Sessions (not to be confused with Rep. Pete Sessions) as Attorney General?  Rumors of a shortlist for other cabinet spots that seems like it's punking us?  Yes (but no!!!!!!) to all.  Plus, Clinton comes out of hiding, Trump violates his own rules and settles his Trump U case, the Democrats expand leadership to include everybody on earth!  The election was tough, but now, more than ever, is when to pay attention!  Things are about to get a little rocky.

BTL #218 - Bad Hombre - 10/24/16

This week on BTL, we've got all the bad hombres, nasty women, and important updates from the final presidential debate.  (Thank god these are over.)  Plus, recent polls are showing thatTrump really doesn’t have much to worry about in the way of rigged elections...he'd have to be close to winning one first.  But don't worry, the rich always come out on top, and Il Duce is no different - Trump TV is the latest business scam hounding this election and it's a doozy!  Tune in, tune up, tune around, and listen to an all new BTL.  Most importantly, it's that time again so REMEMBER TO VOTE!  We'll have a prop cheat sheet up on the site this week!
