Just Buy Less Coffee, Answering the Deeper Questions of American Politics

Episode 124: #BaneOfTheUnion #WTFWasThat #NotSoSuperTuesday #TikTokIndeed

JBLC breaks down the looming Congressional ban on TikTok, what is motivating it, and if it will actually happen. TikTok is a source of community for many youth and especially those affected in their formative years by COVID shutdowns. Many youth use TikTok as their main outlet of self-expression and connection. The U.S. Congress probably has more pressing things to deal with than to scapegoat an app on behalf of competing business interests. 

But then again, Trump may try to buy it...

And a huge week of news as the State of the Union and Super Tuesday occured last week. We analyze Biden's speech as he shames the devil that is the MAGA Republicans into utter submission. We also discuss Biden's gaffe during the speech that overshadowed its success with many people.

MAGA freshman Senator Katie Britt of Alabama gives a bizzare, unwatchable response speech that was so bad everyone but Trump hated it. She's probably going to be Trump's VP by the way. One section of Britt's speech was so misleading it earns recognition as Lie of the Week.

And the general election is here at last with Super Tuesday primaries booting out Nikki Haley and Dean Phillips.  What will Nikki Haley do now? Will she finally form the third party for sane conservatives? Or will fold and endorse Trump, and return limping into the MAGA-sphere. Probably the latter.

All for less than the price of a cup of coffee...

PLUS: a subscriber-only deep dive continuing our series on U.S. Presidents. This time we break down what we feel are the best Presidents of the 20th and 21st century. It was harder than it sounds.
