RSH 55 -- Democrats are in the Business of Misery (9.20.2020)

Sunday Sep 20, 2020

Recorded September 17, 2020. Adam and Peter mostly focus on the election. First, they address the revelations of forced sterilization of migrant women at an immigrant detention facility in Georgia (support whistleblower Dawn Wooten: https://www.gofundme.com/f/protect-whistleblower-dawn-wooten). Then they talk about how Michael Forest Reinoehl was killed without warning by the feds and Trump justified the extrajudicial killing. Then they talk about the state of the 2020 presidential election, especially Biden's lack of canvassing ground game. Adam is pretty cynical and thinks the Democrats don't care about losing the election. Then they rip an article about Black Democrats opposing anti-Wall-Street "purity tests" for a potential Biden administration.
