We Don't Talk About P-word

Let’s talk politics. No, not the R versus D bullshit that upsets Thanksgiving and causes us to disown our uncles. Let’s talk about the REAL state of politics. Let’s talk about the backstabbing, the partisan squabbling, and of course the propaganda. Let’s talk about what’s going on behind the curtain. <p> <p>What I am offering is a less technical view of politics, one that I hope is more easily digested. Whether you believe in everything I say or not isn't the point. What I want is for everyone that hears my podcast to think. <p> https://www.facebook.com/groups/458728069590659 <p>https://twitter.com/TalkPword
