Listen up, and see if we got it right on Tuesday night. Or Wednesday morning. Or whenever a winner is declared.

Sigh.

Dr. Strange Pardon or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Michael Bloomberg

Episode 8 - February 19, 2010:

The panel discusses Trump’s Pardon-Palooza, debating if it’s strategy, a perfomative display of masculinity for his base, or a distraction for another Trump scandal (or all 3).
Greg says the coronavirus threat could be far worse than you believe (noting that 10% of the total global population is *already* under quarantine in China). Phil, recently back from Asia, is more optimistic.

The Democratic presidential primary, causes Jeff intense anxiety when forced to choose between Sanders and Bloomberg.
