Episode 128: A Guide to Resisting Trump… the RIGHT Way 25.01.2018 1:34:40
There’s a lot of individuals and institutions that claim to be card-carrying members of the #Resistance; however, they’re not actually doing anything to resist President Trump in a meaningful way. Democrats in Congress recently showed once again that they have no courage to stand up to Trump and the Republicans, and the media does nothing more than focus on Trump’s flubbs (and couldn’t care less a...

We’ll also discuss the Republican Party’s l...
