cover
model George Santos was arrested for fraud! This week’s episode
processes the shock over that news, and asks the all important
question of who in their right mind would post a $500,000 bond to
bail out George Santos, and what are they getting in return? Where
there’s smoke, there’s fire, and Santos is the smoke of a larger
corruption ushering in fascist kleptocracy.
In this week’s episode, Andrea
is joined by old friend of the show Terrell Starr of the essential
podcast Black
Diplomats. Sarah is taking a step back
from the show to deal with a family situation, as she has shared on
Twitter. In this episode, Terrell and Andrea discuss the Durham
Report, Nikki Haley and her pals the Kushners clawing their way
back to the White House to steal more from the American people, and
the inspiring resilience of the Ukrainian people facing off against
Russia’s genocide.
