I used to listen to the podcast back when Gibbs was on. It was great. Once Gibbs left I stopped listening. I recently listened to a couple episodes to see what it was now like. It’s awful. It is no longer hacky political analysis. It is now just a Trump Derangement Syndrome podcast…especially Heilmann. Deleting podcast permanently!
Given gibbs is no longer a host maybe update the artwork

The Democrats are completely outmatched by Trump . It’s Lambs versus hyenas.

The Democratic Party needs to throw the LGBTQ/BLM/Hamas Wing of the Party under the Bus. All that “Oppression Olympics” nonsense is ove... more
