Political Plot Twists | Episode 219

Maybe living in precedented times is overrated?

In an all-new episode, we discuss the craziest two weekends in recent American political history between the Trump assassination attempt, Joe Biden stepping down, and Kamala stepping TF up.

Rest in power to Sonya Massey. We discuss the current details of the senseless murder by the police in Illinois.
The Summer Olympics are here and over 175 out Olympians are in this year’s Paris Games.
 
Kim Burrell apologizes to the LGBTQ community but not for generally being a shitty person.

We’re sending out hopefully encouraging words and advice for our of our “Am I A Bad Queer” listeners. In Bad Queer Opinions, we discuss if men are ruining bisexuality and Tyler Perry’s Four Loko connection.
