ScathingAtheist 603: Something Italian Edition
Added 2024-09-05 00:06:00 +0000 UTCNoah's got an early flight tomorrow, so we had to record stuff a bit early. It means that you get the episode a bit earlier than normal, but it also means it doesn't have any real bonus material in it. We promise to make up for it next week!
Show Notes:
In this week’s episode, the Pope sets up to bulldoze the literal youth center, nearly human Vice presidential candidate JD Vance dislikes atheists, and 2/3rds of the way through the show, you’ll start wondering if Don Ford was just doing a Cecil impression this whole time.

Comments
@6:00 thank you for putting words to it. I'm apathetic but I have a reason, believe me my mental health needs a religious experience. After witnessing the implosion of Republicanism because it couldn't escape the pull of MAGA, I see the same warning signs in the DNC. I know we desperately need to Vote Blue No Matter Who but I'm afraid of just creating another political faith that will likely plague my children and subtly corrupt 21st century America.

2024-09-09 02:05:17 +0000 UTCI know there was a lot of discussion and doubt about replacing Biden with Kamala so close to the election, but I’m so happy they decided to do it. With Biden’s numbers, I was so fucking worried about another Drumpf presidency. (And as long as he keeps intentionally mispronouncing Kamala’s name, I will continue to refer to him by his fam’s original surname.)
