The MANCHINEMA Effect

Their favorite color is green…

Today, our big topic is Manchinema, the two headed beast composed of Senators “I was always conservative” Manchin & “meetings cost money” Sinema. We talk about their continued opposition to President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, as well as protests from their constituents regarding this, from the Kayaktivists at Manchin’s house boat to the Sinema’s crass sarcastic responses & her being met by activists at the airport, on a plane, & even in the bathroom.

We discuss an event chock full of GOP donors, the type of event where you only see our “best.” A now-former Trump aide spent his night making several unwelcome & possessive advances on Trashelle Odom, the wife of a construction exec & Trump donor. We talk about the “Boy’s Club” culture that mostly condones this behavior, & the weak attempts from Governor Kristi Noem & others at the event to protect Mrs. Odom from this harassment.

Later, we talk about the Facebook debacle. The Facebook Network (which includes Instagram & WhatsApp) was shut down just earlier this week. Frances Haugen, a former Facebook employee, has left & become a whistleblower, revealing Facebook’s research into the harms of its own platform & network & how it preys on the mental well-being of it’s users, especially young women & girls, & those susceptible to right-wing & far-right radicalization.

Other topics include the retractable pen of the future, a surprisingly on point segment of The View, Super Elsy’s new eco-friendly Rocketbook, & her spicy response to a Boebert tweet.
