Two Tangents

The Amy Coney Barrett Hearings took place this week and it was for the most part exactly how you would expect it. Both sides put on a show, Democrats knocked trump the whole time and Republicans pretended to stand on the moral high ground for a few days straight. All in all, it was great to see each senators audition tape for America’s Next Top Leader. A bombshell news story broke on Wednesday that detailed new information in the Hunter Biden Ukraine Scandal. Social Media companies like twitter and facebook decided to take things into their own hands by censoring the story and wiping it clear from their platforms. We at Two Tangents stand firmly against this sort of censorship unless they want to take down those videos that Christina posted of us in 8th grade. We are almost two weeks from election day and the rules are still not agreed upon. This was an action packed episode, so strap in for the ride.

Monday was Columbus day or was it Indigenous peoples day. Nobody knows, but we still took the day off to figure it out. Gal Gadot popped into the news this weekend and Art is officially dead. Gadot received backlash when news broke that the Israeli actress was going to play the role of Cleopatra in an upcoming film. This situation really shocked the world, as we were unaware that someone could be cancelled two times in the same year. Lebron wins a championship, Virtual debates are canceled, Bill Burr hosted SNL this weekend and we have no idea whether people are mad.

The Vice Presidential Debate went down on Wednesday and we have a recap and a half for you. Our eyes were absolutely glued to the television screen for this debate full of substance and real meaningful discussion. Problem is we missed every word they said after the fly landed on Mike Pence’s hair. CNN, the Main stream media, and all of twitter exploded after the debates calling Mike Pence sexist for the way he acted during the debate and boy were they correct. The fact that this guy would be explaining his points of view to the American people during a national debate. DISGUSTING. This episode is action packed, we truly break down their performances and the reactions afterward, and we’d love to hear from you what you thought about it. Get involved in the discussion on TikTok. Hope to see you there.

The internet has officially spiraled out of control now that Trump has come down with coronavirus. Conspiracy theories are being hurled and everyone especially those who are least qualified are speculating about what could be happening behind closed doors. The status of Trump’s health is still in question, but if you’ve spoken to someone recently who has no knowledge of the situation, they’ll tell you what’s going on. SNL came back and Jim Carrey stared as Joe Biden in their latest Cold Open. SNL’s political bias seem to be trickling into their ability to do comedy, I guess that makes sense ever since they hired the writers from Joe Biden’s debate prep team. The NBA is coming to a close, The NFL might be too, either way it ended before it started for us New York Fans.

The Debates went down on Tuesday and boy did the fireworks explode. Trump came out hot and firing, while constantly interrupting everything Biden had to say. Biden wasn’t without his own hurling of insults as well, telling trump to shut up and calling him a clown. These two were so caught up in seeing how low they can go, that no one even noticed Chris Wallace leave to get Jamba Juice in the middle of round 2. Trump and Kayleigh McEnany have been dancing around the white supremacist comment that trump made during the debates, and it has definitely thrown us for a loop. Now the media will be focused on the connection between trump and white supremacy instead of anything else, Just kidding. Trump has coronavirus. As if things couldn’t get any crazier. Well this has been a crazy filled week, We’re so heated, we’re thinking about going to times square with a bull horn, someone stop us before we turn into the crazy person in times square with the bull horn.

A report was released this weekend that mentions how President Trump only paid 750 dollars in taxes back in 2016 (11:04). Democrats are calling this a bombshell new story, but if i had a penny for every time I heard about a bombshell report on Trumps taxes, I could probably pay Trumps taxes. that Spotify employees are outraged that Joe Rogan is able to openly discuss ideas that they may disagree with, now calling for editorial oversight of his future content. Personally I feel that, (This part of the intro has been censored by Spotify employees) Engagement season is over, The rock is endorsing Biden, The debates are going down and we’re going live. Join us Tuesday, September 29th at 8PM EST on TikTok and Youtube for a debate show like you’ve never seen before.

Louisville and the rest of the United States erupted in protests and riots last night after the officers involved in the Breonna Taylor shooting were not indicted on any murder charges. Like many of the shootings throughout this entire summer, this is another one filled with nuance and polarization that calls for both critical thinking and discussion. Donald Trump was asked at a recent press conference whether he would agree to a peaceful transfer of power which his response was anything besides a yes. The media is hailing it as an existential threat to democracy, and for a podcast first, we might not actually disagree with the media. This is episode 50 and this is Two TanGents. 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg tragically passed over the weekend, and within minutes it became completely politicized. The implications of an open seat on the Supreme Court are absolutely massive and if you thought things couldn’t get any more tense before the election, oh think again. Modern Day Civil War goes on another day and the powder keg is growing larger and larger. We break down what this means for the future of our country and democracy. This is Two Tan gent

In light of the recent wildfires in California, Trump met with members of the scientific community and California leadership to discuss a plan moving forward. Trump gave his two cents and mentioned that he believes it is going to get cooler, just you wait. Also, if you stick around outside long enough today, its going to get dark too. JK Rowling has been cancelled for the tenth time, as her latest novel depicts a transvestite as its lead antagonist. The woke community released a statement saying “This is not what we had in my mind when we said we wanted more representation in books” The Nashville mayor is on the hot seat, Kanye West pees on a grammy, The No Mask Militia is back and they’ve taken over aisle 7 of a target.

Joe Rogan recently mentioned that he would be open to moderating a debate between the two presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump. (15:34) The only downside is that we would only be able to hear Biden’s answers, as Spotify is continuing to remove all right leaning content. Gun Girl is back in the news as she stirred up some drama on the UCF Campus recently. The crowd was seen chasing after her, and spotted there was none other than Odell Beckham Jr. Unclear if Odell was there in favor or against the girl most notably known for pooping her pants. Football is back, Masks cause mayhem, and the Wave House in the UK sounds like a bunch of wankers.
