Episode 250: Fascist Trash

Summary: Trump actually followed through on his threat to violently quell protests and override governors; however, instead of using the military he’s deployed DHS and ICE agents to protests in Seattle, D.C. and Portland, Oregon under the guise of defending statues. Federal agents have remained in Portland in spite of Governor Kate Brown’s objections. We’ll talk about this fascistic escalation. Also, Trump’s brain continues to melt, COVID continues to spread, Joe Biden offers the left something good, and progressives win big in Texas. Finally, we’ll close the show by talking to 2020 congressional candidate Jen Perelman in Florida’s 23rd congressional district, who’s running against the notoriously corrupt Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
