You need to let this go...

great episode. so sad - changing up the show in light of the circumstances was the right way to go.
John Tarpley
The sound on this edition is subpar.

My respect for MBD, already low, fell dramatically in this episode. He just says stuff.
Adam
With just a brief shrug when talking about Trump’s comments on Cheney, I no longer consider these guys to have moral, civic, or even intellectual credibility. If Trump wins and the next four years are a disaster, some small part will be on them.
