#FSCK 'Em All!

Thank God for Social Media (Episode 16)

Listen Later

It’s been a busy week for police K-9 units snacking on civilians! We also talk about the Papaya POTUS’s border fence, a bona fide heart-warming story out of Connecticut, and in our #Law140 section we cover defamation of public figures.

Join the conversation by following @fsckemall on Twitter, and tweet us your comments and questions using the hashtag #fsck!

[EDIT (07/17/17 @ 7:21pm): The original version of this episode had an error in describing the lawsuit between Florida Governor Rick Scott and State’s Attorney Aramis Ayala. Thank you to @lpmarkiewicz for the correction!]
