Piety or Profanity

Episode #168

On this week’s episode, Bill and Phil tackle the politics of the political extreme. We begin with a look at the struggle between piety and profanity within the modern Republican Party, then explore Donald Trump’s full embrace of January 6th, transition to Donald Trump’s provocative language from last week, take a look at the Democratic Party and the protest votes against Joe Biden, and close with a game of What’s More Stupid, Aaron Rodgers edition.
