Summary
Episode 846
Wisconsin's highest court and the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Republicans (and Joe Biden) have been pushing to keep the polls open today despite the global pandemic. This decision will literally cost lives. But they certainly don't care about that.
--
Turns out Donald Trump and one of his top donors have investments in the manufacturers of the "miracle drug" Trump continues to peddle.

--
Alyssa Milano abandons #MeToo in favor of Joe Biden.
--
The luxury of staying home has to be afforded to every person possible.
--
Shedding idealism for realism.
--
But, I will always be idealistic about humanity's potential to overcome all of the madness surrounding us.
