Description

In communities across the U.S., from small towns to big cities, there used to be a lot more places like the ol’ neighborhood bar. It was a place you could come after work, to talk with your friends & neighbors about the news of the day, to have a few laughs, and maybe a few drinks. In those days, you could even talk about politics a little bit without causing a bar brawl. These days, the people in our personal communities are often spread from coast to coast and around the world. And while it’s great to see ‘em on social media, it would be better to have a place where the bartenders knew your name, and you could trust the folks in your community would be there with the latest news and drink or two. So we’ve created a place like that here – and you’re invited. Come on in, pull up a chair, grab something to drink, and we’ll get up to speed with the news of the day, at The Politics Bar.

Great, Another Toxic Mansplainer

For the love of God, and all things that are holy, can someone cut off Shawn’s mic. He’s incredibly rude and spends more time talking than listening. ...

The Shawn Show

Without Jody, it’s just the Shawn Show. He needs to learn how to let other people have a turn to talk. He acts like he’s the only one with an opinion.

Not worth your time

There are way better options and the fact they can’t control volume levels (resulting in deafening moments) is a no go.

I thought Sean was settling down, but it seems he is relapsing into too many asides and relaying his personal experiences at inopportune times. More...
