Remember when Trump rolled back banking regulations in 2018 by taking a lot of teeth out of the Dodd-Frank act of 2010 which was explicitly designed to prevent this sort of thing? Neither do the GOP. Or… they do what they always do. Hope their viewers and constituents are too stupid to know they’re lying to them.

They’re losing the culture war but GOP controlled states don’t give a f**k about their constituents and champion instead christofascist policies. They’re just begging to end Obergefell.

Here on Apostates on the Fringe we have, in the past, recommended another podcast for legal breakdowns, “Opening Arguments” with Andrew Torrez and Thomas Smith. Hours before our record this last Thursday, it was revealed that Andrew had engaged in sexual harassment of several women, and even misconduct with his co-host, Thomas. At this time, we are unsure of the future of OA but we cannot support Andrew on any platform on which he is on. We will be discussing further on next weeks episode now that we’ve had time to digest.
