Supreme Shorts: Apparently Lost It
…they could be a band… This week, we spend the episode discussing the biggest Supreme Court decisions handed down at the end of the term, after which Justice Breyer stepped down, & Justice Jackson joined the bench. These decisions were quite a mixed bag, but we spend much of the later discussion on Dobbs vs Jackson (no relation), the decision in which the court overturned Roe vs Wade as well as Planned Parenthood vs Casey, ending almost 50 years of precedent. We react & discuss the impact on Americans. Subscribe @thefreakshowpodcast & tell a friend! Thanks for listening!

Also bad speeches… This week, we kick off by catching y’all up a little & telling you about the day we had before recording this episode, including a trip to Big Lots & a mission for window tints! Plus, you get to hear a bit about Andrew Johnson, possibly the worst POTUS. General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, rhetorically crushed Matt Gaetz like a bug after the latter tried to say the critical race theory education was somehow harmful to the military. We laugh at the internet destroying Gaetz. Not ever...

Probably the same… This week, Joseph Manchin has been exposed! Audio has come out, with Manchin urging donor group No Labels to incentivize fellow Senator Roy Blunt to change a vote so as to help uphold the filibuster. But his preferred voting rights bill, & the GOP’s unequivocal opposition to it, may have exposed the Republicans’ hypocrisy. Ron Johnson loves showing off his bigotry! He’s against DC statehood, insisting it to be a power grab desired by elite Washingtonians. Mayor Muriel Bowser & most of DC’s population would disagree. Senator Kirsten Sinema’s fanatical...

Hope you got enough badges… COVID ain’t done. The Delta variant is now considered a “variant of concern” by the CDC. This variant is anticipated to become the dominant strain in America. But Ron DeSantis thinks it’s nothing but a bunch of propaganda. He wants you to focus on him & what he wants to pass, like banning the teaching of America’s systemic racism. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar came under criticism for a tweet that was mischaracterized as comparing America & Israel to Hamas & the Taliban.
