I don't care one wit about Biden's age. The media has chosen the age narrative because they're too cowardly to call out the GOP platform and Trump's compulsive lying. SNAP OUT OF IT!

Between Trump and incels and Roe, I will *never* think of/see men in the same way ever again. I can't believe that I was fooled for so long, that I was so *naive,* that I actually doubted myself because of the things that men told/taught me. They aren't shit! They're petty, whiny, hyperfragile, narcissistic, entitled, self-centered little children. They're secret monsters who jerk off to super violent, misogynistic porn. Wtf??? I just had no idea "how much* they truly hate women.

I've said it elsewhere: women need to go on a sex and birth strike until further notice. Either that, or something like 4B that women are doing in S.Korea - they won't date men, sleep w them, live w them or bear their children. Much simpler would be patriarchal noncompliance - refuse to participate with men's bullshit. Stop shaving, stop wearing makeup, chop your hair off - any and every way you are willing to resist. All of our daughters are depending on us.

sorry, @secupp, but the Tea Party was nothing more than an utterly racist reaction to the election of our first African American president....any suggestion that it had anything to do with Bush is revisionist at best.

I'm new to this podcast, having only listened to a few. At the risk of sounding critical, even tho I enjoy the discussion in general, I can't listen to any more. The constant F bombs are used so often by the female, it loses its emphasis. I just can't.

At minute 34, a mistake: guest says "FOX considered Fox hosts should get together to say 'Joe Biden lost'." Meant to say "... Joe Biden won."
