Gender-affirming care is medically necessary and life-saving, yet Republicans are trying to criminalize the existence of young trans people under the guise of “protecting” them. We’ll talk about that along with the country’s ongoing stupidity with regard to COVID-19, the conservative hysteria over Lil Nas X’s new music video and shoes, and Georgia’s new Jim Crow law.

 Episode 281: Manchinema | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 02:01:30

It’s officially time for the Democratic Party to stop bragging about being a “big tent Party” because they’ve now welcomed so many right-wingers into their Party that the tent is collapsing in on itself.

He’s been a failure by every metric with the exception of his handling of COVID-19. We’ll also discuss Newsmax’s attack on Joe Biden’s dog (seriously), Fox News’ wall-to-wall coverage of The Muppets supposedly getting “canceled” by the woke mob, Ben Shapiro’s outrage over a cartoon, Meghan McCain’s entitlement, and much more.
