THE ABSOLUTE STATE of BOMB PLOTS, DEFAMATION & 2000 MULES
June 8, 2022
On this week’s beefy podcast, we talk to investigative journalist Scott Morris of the Vallejo Sun about two militia bros who plotted to bomb the Democratic Part HQ in Sacramento. Then we get into the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation case and the right wing bullshit around it. First we’ll hear what Jim Wheaton from the First Amendment Project says about the legal ramifications of the case and then award-winning anti-rape activist Wagatwe Wanjuki anaylzses the social impact of this trial and the media about it. Lastly, we have our recurring segment, “What the Fuck, Arizona?” with Haley from Arizona Right Wing Watch, who’s going to talk about the hearing in the AZ legislature over Dinesh D’Souza’s 2000 Mules. May the lord have mercy on our souls.
