Summary
This week, we're pulling two sorta-topical stories from the Patreon vault. First up, Stacie brings the debut installment of "Trashy Justice" from back in September 2020 with the story of perhaps the worst Supreme Court justice in the nation's history, James Clark McReynolds. Then, Alicia has a fascinating and frightening charismatic Russian influencer of an earlier era, Grigori Rasputin, from her "Trashy Romanovs" series earlier this year.
