On this week’s Ruminant, Jonah attempts to talk himself out of a hangover, which inevitably leads back to vintage Hillary Clinton punditry. Ah, the good old days.Jonah’s quest back to the world of the sober begins with the demystification of price gouging and federal minimum wage hikes, followed by further thoughts on the divorced parent interpretation of partisan politics. Then, we find Jonah reminiscing on days of productions past, bringing us the beauty of discussions devoid of journalists and politicians.The rehashing of Hillary Clinton leads Jonah to argue that Trump may just be feeling insecure, which explains why the former president is having such a dang hard time staying on message. When all is said and done, there is a Skiff episode to be recorded, and Jonah will remain forever cursed to spend his days talking his way out of something.
