This week we look at our abnormal political system, where the Communications Director goes on a profanity-laced tirade, the Chief-of-Staff is ousted, and the Papaya POTUS encourages police brutality. We also cover problems in our law enforcement across the country, and our #Law140 segment features a special guest to talk about the mechanics of juries.

Listen in to this week’s episode as we review the testimony from James Comey and the peculiar defenses by Peach Perón’s surrogates, a Republican Congresscritter calls for us to support ISIS, new mandatory minimums for sexting, police practicing their new techniques for killing unarmed Americans (choking!) and for putting out fires (kicks to the face!), and for #Law140 we consider if President Trump is violating the First Amendment by blocking people who tweet him.
