Election 2020 - The Final Countdown

Kind of feels like we're falling deeper and deeper into a space of, yes things can and will get worse. Trump has declined the formality of a second presidential debate because his positive results for the Corona Virus isn't reason enough to take precaution for the safety of others. Not that we expect much after the first shit show of a debate. Senator Kamala and VP Pence gave us a little bit of policy talk but was just another display of why this system of white patriarchy but be brought down. The Senate won't play fair and we give our thoughts on the bulldozing of nominating a supreme court justice after the passing of the Notorious RBG (RIP). The lack of care for the humanity of immigrants being grossly contained in ICE facilities is on our list of the BS we must call out. O yea and the plan to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer by a militia group was busted. We are still pissed about Breonna Taylor so we say her name in this episode. We also talk a little local politics to wrap up this episode which was long overdue. We missed y'all and hope you enjoy this episode as we get us through to THE DAY, November 3rd. This election is around the corner and there is so much to discuss. Tune in and get updated with Ash & Martell aka Pierre Defecto.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bpm412/support

Well, are you surprised? Not really sure we are. If anything how did this not come out during the Obama years?
