Episode 159: The GOP’s Parade Of Stupidity

In this unreasonably long episode of The Humanist Report we’ll showcase the recent stupidity of the modern Republican Party… which is somehow actually getting worse. This includes Ron DeSantis’ hilariously bad ad about his love for Donald Trump, Ted Cruz’s language policing of his Texas senatorial opponent Beto O’Rourke (and the internet’s subsequent mocking of him), Trump’s decision to unilaterally screw over federal workers by stopping their annual cost of living raise, and a Republican congressman’s fear-mongering over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Medicare for All. We’ll also talk about the largest gathering of American war criminals in our country’s history: John McCain’s funeral. Also, will right-wing extremist Brett Kavanaugh be confirmed to the Supreme Court? Additionally, we’ll discuss the outcome of the FCC’s internal investigation into Ajit Pai, California’s net neutrality bill, the nationwide prison strike, John Kerry’s 2020 ambitions, Donna Brazile and Sarah Palin’s attempt to unite the country, the debate between Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon, and much more! Finally, we’ll close the show with multiple guests including comedian Ron Placone, DNC Unity Reform member Nomiki Konst, and ConnecttheDotsUSA founder Andrea Witte. If you can’t stand listening to Mike for too long this is NOT the episode for you. For everyone else, enjoy!
