That letter from the listener, equating BLM and the Me Too movement.... I wasn't planning on crying today, but here we are.
Everybody tries to take the risk for the good reason and some get the benefit and some get the only drawback. This is totally depending on luck and master mind and I'm able to check https://www.justlearn.com/ to check out unique task. This article is looking so interesting and you talk about the one side of human life.
I was a legal secretary and I assumed I would go to law school at some point but I'd had to be an Alan Alda and one of my bosses was like that and her life was miserable I thought.
Beth and Sarah, Thank you so much for today's podcast! I live in the Quad Cities (Iowa) and am a proud Democrat. I was precinct captain for Warren at my caucus Monday night. It was so discouraging the rest of the week to listen to all of the podcasts that I typically listen to and hear all of the disgust and disappointment about Iowa. My husband and I are very, very busy people. We both work full time, we have 2 biological children, and we fostered to adopt 6 additional children. I make it a priority for not only myself but my children as well to learn about politics and democracy and how we can make our world a better place. My 13 year old daughter told me on Tuesday that there were so many memes on Facebook making fun of Iowans and she said that she now believes that Iowans votes don't count. Even Bernie Sanders made fun of the fact that "Iowans can't count but New Hampshire people sure can" at a recent rally. As we are going to and from band, play rehearsals, etc, we have been li
I'd like to help but you lost this center-right to the Libertarian Party in 2016.
The last time our government looked long term after a war was the Marshall Plan.
Ours was the only successful Brexit...
way too many commercials and talking about things that are not news. Don't start talking till 7 minutes in and have over a minute of ads by minute 13. I don't listen for ads I listen for news.
I'm repulsed by the dems.how do you believe ford when no one corroborates her story
As a mother of 2 girls, I share your rage and angst. I don't know what to tell them other than don't get in situations that put you at risk. as a life long Republican I am ashamed and repulsed with the whole lot. we have to do better for our sons and daughters. Thanks for saying what I don't have words for.
i dont see the contrast...its a hillary democrat and a gw bush repub. theyre the same thing except for regional diffs. they govern on visceral emotion and will bow to popular opinion/media pressure. the repub slightly reactionary, the hill dem adjusts policies with every poll
its crappy that you included the author who wrote about trumps children.geese can the trump family have no peace
This podcast is very much in the vein of NPR's "Left, Right, and Center." That is to say that, much like LRC, it claims to offer more than 1 POV yet seems to be able to deliver anything but. These 2 ladies are clearly both from the Left, so am wondering why the deception??? Just own it.
am a Democrat but you ladies hit on a lot of issues love your show keep it up!
