    V5e031-Racist Coffee Talk
    Aug 23 2025
    It's 1,246 days until the legally defined end of the 47th presidency, but we have very little faith that will be the case. In the meantime, things are looking pretty dumb. Texas has illegally redistricted, in the hopes they can artificially remove Democratic representatives from Congress. Certain political scientists are positing that their hasty, ill-planned districts might end up biting them in the ass, but this remains to be seen. California has a response to basically do the same thing Texas did in response, but none of this will likely survive court. Other Titles Considered

    It's 1,253 days until the legally defined end of the 47th presidency, but we have very little faith that will be the case. In the meantime, continue to attend your local music festival, and don't forget basic supplies like hats, sunglasses, neck garters, and local organization.

    Jul 26 2025
    It's 1,275 days until the legally defined end of the 47th Administration, provided the US Constitution still exists then. In the meantime, Ghislaine Maxwell is pursuing a pardon/immunity over the Epstein files, seeing as people can't be sent to prison for evidence that definitely doesn't exist, and turned in over 100 names in a partial immunity deposition (tf?!). Also, Micro Johnson made headlines in the new South Park episode and decided that the House August recess begins in July now. Other Titles Considered

    It's the 249th Independence Day. The Podcast crew is off celebrating, but we figured we'd drop a message to keep the feed active.

If not, what should go into the next Declaration against this modern tyranny? Other Titles Considered
