We don’t like that thing Trump did but the real issue is how mean the Democrats were to us.
Isgur is just a hateful troll like Ben Givr
This is a must listen to each week for me. It’s reasonable, interesting, and even a little funny. This show helps me think critically about our political moment but doesn’t incite me or enrage me.
I look forward to the 2 installments of this each week, especially the Friday episode. I love the informal way the panel talks to each other, I love the topics, and the infusion of humor across almost everything.
Excellent topics, reasoned and thoughtful conversation AND humorous!
