Meanwhile the male-ocracy tries to keep a lid on the truth- from Trump's real estate scams, tyranny enforced via bone saw, and the antics of British sexual harassers.

Summary
After briefly checking in on the CIA's investigation of the Khashoggi murder, Thom spends most of the hour discussing the ongoing voter suppression efforts of the Republican party, as they try to cheat their way to a congressional majority- again. Thom gives specifics as listeners respond. ------ Investigative reporter Greg Pallast checks in on electoral shenanigans, from exit poll 'conforming' to Republican registrars dropping as much as ten percent of the American voters from the rolls nationwide, to back-of-the-bus provisional ballots, and on and on and on. ------ Thom discusses voter suppression with listeners. ------ Donald Trump's history of lying to investors, and other criminal behavior. ------ Listener Julie calls in to say that Indiana votes Trump because they're told to at church, even despite Trump's clear immorality. ------ Victoria Jones brings the story of #metoo prosecution shut down in the United Kingdom by male judges. ------ Thom further discusses the looming election with listeners.
