Political Hacks: Politics, Culture, and Current Events

On Episode 62, FaceEsquire and DrJWeb discuss the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, including: what it says, why it overturned Roe v. Wade and Casey, possible future implications, our thoughts on the case, and plenty of ridiculousness along the way.

Episode Punchlist: We love you all, regardless of how you feel about abortion; FaceEsquire incorrectly refers to the Dred Scott decision as Plessy v. Ferguson throughout the episode (my bad); Can you figure out which Justice DrJWeb is most afraid of?

#Russia #Ukraine

On Episode 54, due to issues that prevented our normal recording and broadcast, we do something completely different: I literally just recorded our conversation in The Lounge channel in the Political Hacks Discord server (link below to join). Persons present included FaceEsquire, JimboSlice, Pritch, and Reflex. Don’t worry, still some decent (or at least entertaining) political discussion, and I’ve listed some of the topics below. Let us know what you think about this episode format. JOIN THE DISCORD!

TOPICS:

- Ukraine and Russia

- Joe Rogan Controversy

- Canadian Truckers Situation

- How to install a U.S. President

- Australian life with Pritch (current and former restrictions)

- Call of Duty talk

- Nela (Jimbo’s pup) talk throughout

- Some gameplay banter (don’t worry, not too gamer-y)
