Description

JVL and Sarah Longwell discuss the Trump administration’s stumble into an Iranian conflict that betrays its "no more wars" promise. They analyze the sudden resignation of Joe Kent over foreign wars, Tulsi Gabbard’s surreal FBI testimony regarding Fulton County ballots, and the looming "bloodbath" within a fracturing Republican coalition.

Faith has no business in politics. Separation of church and state. Now, it is absolutely fine to have faith… whatever that faith may be. But, it really does not belong in politics.

I agree, JVL! Maybe the juice that Talarico has is that he is a good person that genuinely wants the best for ALL of us. 'Policy' can be a disagreement of how to best ACHIEVE goals but, maybe we should vote for people who actually give a sh*t about people. Can we maybe we might get back to that?

Joe Kent sucks. He ran for congress here in Washington and talked smack about Biden during one of his campaigns and basically blamed him for his wife's death even though Trump was president when she died.

The flipside of CA losing people is those people are going to places that are purple.
