"I Didn't Think the Leopards Would Eat MY Face!" and More

We begin our show with updates about the WMU AAUP and how the three instructors unions at Western Michigan University have issued a historic joint statement expressing 'no confidence' in university leadership.

 

Lawrence joins us and we talk a bit about the recent allegations against P Diddy and the overall propensity of billionaires to engage in audacious and sometimes criminal activity.

 

Several stories we talk about then fall firmly under the "I endorse the leopards eating my face party and will be shocked when they eat my face" category- from a self-described black Nazi in North Carolina to a Michigan mayor from a majority Arab city government lending their endorsement to Donald Trump. Later in the show we also talk about Sean O Brien and the Teamsters endorsement drama- in this case a union leader who seems to think the leopard is REALLY COOL and he can surely negotiate with the leopard if they win the election.

 

We give some pertinent updates to voter suppression across the country and we also briefly touch on Israel's recent acts of terrorism in Lebanon.
