Today’s Ruminant finds Jonah across the pond, indulging in greasy fish wrapped in newspaper while trying to forget about some of the less pleasant aspects of his recent trek through the Italian mountains. After recounting a few tales of that arduous expedition, he switches his brain into pundit mode, addressing some of the biggest political questions that have arisen during his absence. What’s going on with the Hunter Biden plea deal? Have the wheels fallen off the DeSantis bus? And what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?

Show Notes:

-The Telegraph’s Ukraine podcast, which should really be sponsoring the show at this point 

-The McCarthy Report on Hunter Biden’s plea deal

-Kathryn Jean Lopez: “Jason Aldean Isn’t Helping”
