Beth and Stainy discuss the embarrassing 15 rounds of votes Kevin McCarthy needed to become Speaker of the House in January 2023.

Beth and Stainy read the entire (recently adopted) 2022 Texas GOP Platform, and talk about the worst parts of it. Once you know how ridiculous this platform is, the Texas GOP writers doesn't sound so evil...they're just full of uninformed hubris.

THOMAS JEFFERSON, 1789: "It may be proved that no society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation. They may manage it then, and what proceeds from it, as they please, during their usufruct. They are masters too of their own persons, and consequently may govern them as they please."

Episode 21: What’s Going On With Justice For Jan 6? Beth and Stainy dive into some of the January 6, 2021 cases, to highlight the stupidity of any argument that these rioters who broke into the Capitol are being treated “unfairly”.

Men who don't know how a menstruating human body works should NOT be writing laws that regulate those bodies. Pro-life Americans will...
