We’re Singing Verse Three

Get your songbook & get ready to cringe…

Lots of America stuff! We begin with a segment going in on the National Anthem, including the racist lyrics we don’t sing at events, the history behind them, & how Olympics athletes are facing backlash over the anthem & the flag.

COVID is spiking in all parts of the country! The right-wing propaganda is strong & steady, & has kept us vulnerable to the Delta variant. Republican governors are desperate to get their constituents vaccinated, but meet immense resistance by those who have been radicalized by the propaganda. That propaganda comes to a head in a fishing shop in Montana, where super-grifter Tucker Carlson was confronted by an angry Dan Bailey for his role is America’s division.

The January 6th House Select Committee has begun their investigation into the insurrection. Capitol Officers Dunn & Gonell, along with Metropolitan Officers Fanone & Hodges give gut-wrenching testimonies of the trauma they experienced at the hands of right-wing terrorists. But in true America fashion, they are met with right-wing media spitting in their faces & calling them liars, plus an opposition rally by the 4 Gs (Greene, Gohmert, Gaetz, & Gosar) which is an utter joke that devolves into more nonsense, with the star being a true patriot with a whistle!

Big spoilers ahead! We do our recap & reaction to the 1st season of the MCU series Loki! What happened, what we see, what’s coming, what we think, & more! Other topics include BolaWrap tasers, some fun with flags (but no Sheldon), Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias recovering from COVID, Don Lemon & Ana Navarro on reacting to dissenters in real life, & more suppressive laws about teaching history.
