Biden's Immigration Bill, Jerk Politicians, Facebook Turns The News Off 02/22/2021

Biden's Immigration Bill, Jerk Politicians, Facebook Turns The News Off I talk about Biden's sadly DOA immigration bill and some of the really good stuff in it, the Facebook - Australia story, Ted Cruz's ill fated Cabo trip, Cuomo lying about the number of grandmas and grandpas that dies of COVID in NY nursing homes, my bewilderment at political parties hitching themselves to jackasses, and few other bits /episode/index/show/jenthelibertarian/id/18031481

Recounts, Lawsuits, The Great (Media) Realignment 11/23/2020

Recounts, Lawsuits, The Great (Media) Realignment The Trump campaign continues it push to drag out the election to the bitter end (which is coming soon), the narratives keep getting more and more absurd, and the exodus of talent in the mediasphere continues /episode/index/show/jenthelibertarian/id/16910492

Our Neverending Election 11/17/2020

Our Neverending Election It has been two weeks since Election Day and yet the election has not ended yet. It. Just. Keeps. Dragging. On. /episode/index/show/jenthelibertarian/id/16849655

General Election Madness 11/09/2020

General Election Madness Look at that; we had an election, we got the results in time for the Weekly Roundup, and we managed to not literally set the nation on fire in the process. /episode/index/show/jenthelibertarian/id/16727858

Tech Hearing, TikTok, Walter Wallace, Voting Interference 11/02/2020

Tech Hearing, TikTok, Walter Wallace, Voting Interference Here we are, in the last of the Before Times. This past week we had yet another stupid dumb tech hearing, a ruling on the TikTok ban, another police involved shooting, and some last minute voter disenfranchisement plots. /episode/index/show/jenthelibertarian/id/16639487

The Presidential Debate Dumpster Fire - The Final Round 10/25/2020

Trump Has COVID. Now What? 10/05/2020

Trump Has COVID. Now What? It's hard to imagine Trump has ever had a worse week than the one he just had - his tax returns got leaked, he had a horrible debate performance, and he's currently receiving treatment for COVID-19. /episode/index/show/jenthelibertarian/id/16267046

Emperor Trump(?), The Barrett Nomination, The Taylor Cases 09/28/2020

The TikTok Debacle, 1776 Commission, RBG Leaves The Building We may be done with 2020 but 2020 is clearly not done with us.

It's Time To Talk About Section 230. Again. 09/11/2020

It's Time To Talk About Section 230. Again. Since Congress won't leave well enough alone when it comes to Section 230, we have two presidential candidates who are openly antagonistic towards Section 230, and two platforms have already changed their TOS to reflect the current environment we need to chat about S230 and its importance again. /episode/index/show/jenthelibertarian/id/15965234

The Portland Shooting, Don and Joe Visit Kenosha, Anon Sources 09/07/2020

The Portland Shooting, Don and Joe Visit Kenosha, Anon Sources The story of the shooting of Aaron Danielson in Portland comes to a rather troubling end (?), both presidential candidates visit Kenosha and have very different experiences, and The Atlantic drops a piece on Trump that causes a mini freakout on the topic of anonymous sources. /episode/index/show/jenthelibertarian/id/15907046

Trump's (and the GOP's) 2020 Agenda 09/04/2020
