Under Donald Trump, every day is like Festivus! Trump aired his grievances at a rally in Duluth, and JC and Joel blame both parties for failing to act on immigration reform. Elsewhere in politics, Roger Stone is back in the news and there’s more to the story on the US’s withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council. In sports, we stick up for SC6’s former hosts, and predict the first NBA Draft pick.

Show Rundown:

The Big POS - If we can have Christmas in July, why can’t we have Festivus in June? Donald Trump is trying to make it happen, with a rollicking Airing of Grievances in Duluth. After reversing course on the self-made immigration crisis, Trump is quickly back to his 2016 form. JC and Joel discuss in the broader context of immigration reform, and why both parties in Congress are to blame for the mess we’re in.

Hot Takes - Joel thinks people should leave Kevin McHale alone, and JC thinks Roger Stone might be in some trouble if the Mueller investigation ever ends.

POS Nuggets - Withdrawing from the UN Human Rights Council might be bad optics, but JC and Joel dig deeper into what an absolutely worthless body it is. In sports, the guys defend former hosts of SC6 - Michael Smith and Jemele Hill - against aspersions from ESPN executives.

Predictions - Who will be picked first in the NBA Draft, and will Creed II be overly politicized?
