The State of Our Union is____
President Biden has addressed the nation for the first time and we couldn't help but notice some glaring omissions from his speech.

So, to help us make sense of this nonsense we brought in reinforcements--Justice Correspondent for the Nation, Elie Mystal! Hold onto your hats, we're coming in hot.

On Bended Knee
Unlike Kaepernick who took a knee to bravely use his platform to draw attention to police brutality--Democrats are once again on their knees because they are cowards. Democrats with just months left until midterms are refusing to use the power the 2020 election gave them to fight for our democracy instead they are pulling their common trope-- blaming the Black and brown base for being too "woke". This and more on the next democracyish!

Is White Extremism the New Normal?
The Party of "family values" has decided to neglect our children's safety and health and have decided to roll with their pro-virus, pro-gun stance--from Pro-life to F them kids. It's clear that Republicans want a culture war so why haven't Democrats stepped up to the plate? Where is the pushback? Where is the new narrative?!?

Much ado about Whoopi
Whoopi Goldberg was suspended while Joe Rogan continues to reign supreme.
