Episode Synopsis

At a recent concert, an iconic American musician hit out at the tRump administration as "corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous," and declared that the America that was "a beacon of hope and freedom for 250 years" is now under the thumb of a corrupt regime rotting the America that was from the head down. To be clear, the "beacon of hope" is not without significant blemishes, including, but not limited to, slavery and Jim Crow, the systematic annihilation of the aboriginal inhabitants, the horrific Mai Lai Massacre during the ill-fated American war in Vietnam, and countless imperialist incursions and military interventions against soverign nations in their own lands.
