This week’s episode features an impromptu guest spot with @trashfuturepod co-host and stand-up comedian @milo_edwards, who you should follow. Donald Trump has decided that the US is going to pull out of Rojava, the autonomous enclave in northeastern Syria. Since we recorded this episode, the Turkish have invaded and the Kurdish have struck a pact with Assad’s government and the Russian military. We discuss this betrayal, how poorly-received it’s been, and how Republicans might condemn it but will still roll over for Trump as always (source: https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/10/10/congress-prepares-sanctions-syria-trump-kurds-turkey-erdogan-lindsay-graham-normandy/?fbclid=IwAR2oVxgzUi-L4pW4l-yPFpNuxqBUO-yxpJUT_P2qcyksccf4O8C2IOl6Bnw) However, some Russian shock jocks have pranked U.S. Senator (and USAF Colonel) Lindsey Graham and have gotten him to say some moronic things about Turkey, because he’s just as wet and dumb as the President he loves. We also discuss this (source: https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/10/lindsey-graham-trump-hoax-call-043991?fbclid=IwAR1kgDx84KJD51ilfSqFg4vXU5iRv-oyEUZjCHX4EOeO3-QQbd3F0U6iK74) This week’s Patreon bonus features Francis and special guest Sativa Steve, a Marine Corps and Navy vet who now works in plant biology with a specific focus on cannabis genomics.
