Jen the Libertarian

Yes. This again. These debates keep happening. And the will continue to happen. Because this is the election cycle that never ends and we live in hell. 

As per usual, I give my personal highlights, winners and losers, and complain that the DNC needs to make this stop

Here is my Patreon, please give me money that I will need to afford therapy after all this - https://www.patreon.com/jenmonroe

One tweet started a genocide. One tweet started an international incident. 

I vent my spleen (warning - I use Language) on the Syrian troop shuffle and on the very cool and normal Moray that started a whole fight between China and the NBA

So school district 15 in NYC is going though some changes that are...shall we say...guided by very interesting motives. Matt happens to live in said district and has been covering it for Reason so we sat down to chat about what's going on, the deeper implications of it all, and why you should be worried about it

And as promised -

It's been a small while since I covered immigration, unfortunately not because there has been no news to report. From changes in asylum eligibility to port courts to lowering the cap for refugee intake to Trump's crazy wish list and everything else in between I go over it all.

Don't forget I have a Patreon page now with early access to episodes - https://www.patreon.com/jenmonroe

So many things are happening on the potential impeachment front. So. Many. Things. 

I try to explain them to you.

Since despite my pleas cancel culture is still a thing I decided to talk about the Carson King controversy and how Sarah Jeong got herself fired over a really ill advised tweet

The episode where I try to explain what the hell just happened over the past week and how we got here and also my thoughts on this impeachment situation 

From the successful cancelling of Shane Gillis to the attempted cancelling of Justin Trudeau and Brett Kavanaugh (again) to the "cancel culture isn't real" argument its been quite a week for cancel culture. 

Let's talk about it

I was actually physically present for the Soho Forum debate between Smith and Sarwark and I have Thoughts on it and the follow up Part Of The Problem episode 

After a blissful month off we are back to our regular Democratic debate schedule (ugh) 

One night, ten candidates, one exhausted libertarian

(I did manage to find a few bright spots but boy it wasn't easy)
