In this episode I discuss some recent issues in the world concerning Covid-19 and the demonstrations and riots which have ensued from the murder of a black gentleman George Floyd by a white Minneapolis, MN police officer. I discuss the non-democratic move by Trump to stop peaceful protests for social justice by wanting to use the military to do so, and what this could mean for the democratic American experiment and its viability. I also discuss the hypocrisy and double-standard of sports leagues possibly going back to playing games which must by their nature defy social distancing and mask-wearing guidelines of the CDC and other health professionals and experts, while the public is being expected to still maintain social distancing measures. I discuss the bad example this sets, and why sports leagues playing games is no different than Donald Trump or Mike Pence not wearing masks in pubic spaces.  It seems it is politics and business as usual in the United States, with humanity and justice once again taking a back seat. As long as America's priorities remain this convoluted, there is no telling when or if America will ever emerge from this pandemic of Covid-19 and the hatred and racism still sadly rampant in the laughing stock that is now the United States of America.
