Welcome to the very first episode of Yes, It's That Bad. Today we discuss news from over the weekend as well as what broke this morning. Topics include the death of the wrong Trump, a judge ruling that you can in fact discriminate against gay people as long as you claim it's your "art", the assault of the post office, Jeffrey Epstein being a creep and showing off a 14 year old victim to the president at his Florida club, the police doing that thing they do so well (hiding evidence of their brutality), and an election news roundup. We're proud to bring you our very first show, and hope you'll join us for many more!

This is a trailer for an upcoming news podcast entitled "Yes, It's That Bad". We're not a standard news crew, and this won't be a standard news podcast. Alexis (your main host) is a nonbinary trans woman living in the rural midwest, and she will be joined by cohosts Michael Mora of Wonkette, Esperanza Battle, and LJ Montello to give you a unique insight into the news of the day. We're here to deconstruct the standard narratives that drive the corporate news machine and really dig into why what's happening is happening. So come check us out! Monday-Friday we'll be here looking into the issues that affect your life day to day.
So join us and realize that Yes, It's That Bad.
