Insanity Check

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this August's insanity in the world. This episode he's joined by Bacon from the ADD Space. We made it. We survived August 2020, the longest year of 2020 so far. Barely. August didn't let it's foot off our neck. Some good news, but also a lot of bad (RIP Chadwick Boseman). We dip our toes into the madness

Topics:

August has been the longest year

The stark differences between the DNC and RNC

Far Left "accelerationists" make zero sense at all

Cops always make themselves the victims

We can defund the police because criminals are stupid

Great Moments in White Privilege

JK Rowling doubles down on being a TERF

Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro?

2020 isn't the year for this (no year really is but especially not 2020)

We're still here. Somehow. 2020 has been kicking all of our asses and we're still only in the 4th round. Each month feels like it's own year. It's been a month since the last Insanity Check and so much has changed. Bernie Sanders is not only out of the race for the Democratic Nomination but he quickly endorsed Joe Biden, the US leads in Coronavirus cases AND Deaths (USA,  USA, USA), Trump isn't the dumbest sitting republican in office (its tough to top asking if ppl can inject disinfectants to kill the virus but some people have) and so much more. Kriss is joined by Dpalm for this episode so strap in.

Topics:

What could  possibly  happen in a month?

Didn't know we  had to say this but: Please don't drink bleach cause of Donald Trump

No, protesting Stay At Home Orders doesn't make you Rosa Parks

White people need natural predators so they know  what real oppression is like

New Segment (special for only Dpalm): THAT'S SO GEORGIA

Governor Kemp didn't know asymptomatic people could spread coronavirus

The real reason Kemp and the  GOP is pushing to open the economy in Georgia

Cooning ass Rep Vernon Jones

The Mayor of Las Vegas might be the dumbest politician in the US

Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro?

Finding love with your wife and your  sexbot in the pandemic

Guest: Dpalm
