Ep. 12 - Democrats Win Republicans Revolt

We are back with the first of two Season 1 Bonus Episodes

In this first Bonus episode, Mary and Lee discuss this momentous time in history where the Democrats improbably won the Executive and Legislative trifecta kicking Trump and McConnell out of power. Trump and McConnell each responded true-to-form with Trump promoting a big lie that he won the election, with no evidence to support his claim, and then he incited a violent coup attempt, backed by Republicans and bankrolled by wealthy donors who wish to remain in the shadows. McConnell has dug his talons into the majority gavel and is obstructing the Democrats from taking power in the Senate by refusing to agree to the rules that will govern the transfer. Republicans want to move on and sweep that whole murderous coup-thing under the rug. While, moderate Democrats are killing the Democrats’ legislative momentum by refusing to change the rules to prevent McConnell from stopping the government from functioning. Then, people might actually realize that the government can work to help people, and not just rich, white people. Frankly, there is just too much going on for Lee and Mary to stay silent. As a bonus to this bonus you also get a sneak peek at Season 2, and what Mary and Lee are doing in the off-season.
