Crisis of Legitimacy with Roberto Lovato & James Fritz (Ep 258)

Trump proves the American justice system ain't sh*t as the Jan 6 and stolen documents cases against him are dropped. Some deep state! Writer Roberto Lovato joins Francesca to talk about the need to use the R word: revolutionary! They discuss developing real radical politics to finally counter fascism, and looking to Latin America for inspiration. Then Comedian James Fritz joins to discuss this and the cringiest new govt agency, DOGE, and what it means for funding basic government services. And finally we imagine what crimes Biden could commit in his final months to take advantage of his presidential immunity and win back our respect.

Featuring:

James Fritz, comedian
