Y'all, when we're having a national conversation about whether a 14-year-old can consent to a sexual relationship with a man in his 30s, you know things have gone terribly wrong.

We discuss the situation with Roy Moore, President Trump's trip to Asia and Republican efforts to cut taxes.

This is Sarah from the left and Beth from the right.

You're listening to Pantsuit Politics, no shouting, no insults, plenty of nuance.

Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of Pantsuit Politics. Before we get started on today's show, we want to give you a little bit of an update.

We are furiously writing our book, Keep It Neuons, that we're excited to work with the Thomas Nelson Company on.

And so, Sarah, anything you want to say about that? Other than click-a-click, right, right, right, right.

I invoked Abigail Adams, and I just feel like that's a really good start. That's all I'm saying.

We also have been putting some bonus content up on Patreon. We started recording the Neuons Life.

We've put kind of our first drafts of that, our Spinoff podcast up in Patreon.

We're taking it in a slightly different direction, thanks to the help and feedback of our community on Patreon.

So, if you want to be part of that, you can go over to patreon.com slash Pantsuit Politics.

And we are starting to book 2018 speaking engagements. We would love to be on the calendar at your college or university or organization.

So, if you would like to have Pantsuit Politics come to you, please just send me an email at speth at PantsuitPoliticsShow.com.

So, today we are going to talk a little bit about Roy Moore and the President's trip to Asia.

And then our main segment will be focused on tax cuts. Before we do, we want to acknowledge that the Northern border of Iraq and Iran experienced a terrible earthquake this week.

396 people died and over 7,000 people were injured.

And it was particularly terrible because the main hospital in the town sustained part of the greatest impact and was severely damaged.

So, over 70,000 people need shelter after the earthquake. Lots of the homes in the area are constructed out of mud.

And so, obviously that means they are extremely vulnerable to earthquakes. And this seems to be part of an increase in earthquakes in that area.

And Iran has seen a lot of earthquakes in its past because there are two tectonic plates, the Arabia and Eurasia plates, that clash right there.

The Arabia plate is pushing north by a couple of centimeters every year. And it's actually pushing under the Eurasia plate.
