Trump is out and Biden's in. Have you stopped the stopwatch on Biden, giving him and the Democratic Party a grace period to see how they perform on issues that matter to you, or are you keeping your options open on finding a third party more in line with your politics?

So, what we've been experiencing as a nation these past few months, what do we call it? Is it the only thing, or the biggest thing, affecting us right now?

Trump did not direct the violent actions of several groups widely viewed as supporters, the Senate verdict said, and Trump should not be held responsible for their conduct, albeit violent murderous.
Today, with the benefit of a fuller picture of Trump's alleged role in the major tragedy, listeners are asked whether they have reevaluated Trump's alleged role inthe Capitol insurrection and whether Trump's trial was fair, resulting in a just outcome
