  • Trump apologists?

    Disappointed at this episode, probably the worst ever by Erin. If your goal was to become yet another apologist for Trump, remember that many are better at that than you. Incredibly boring and a nothing burger to claim over and over again that Trump should be innocent and all accusers are the criminals. What a bunch of baloney. Where did you get this guest. Keep friendship out of this work if you want to be taken seriously

Q: Did Lindy West's decision to pursue a three-person relationship feel empowering to you, Megan, or did it strike you as more nuanced and bittersweet?

USA’s Boiling Points w. Megan Gailey
Q: So is polyamory more popular than ever before, or are we just hearing about it more? Now, Megan, have you been following the Lindy West discourse at all?
