AM Quickie writer Jack Crosbie (@jscros) joins Sam to discuss his new project The DiscourseAlso: DNC pours money into Amy McGrath’s quixotic campaign. Why “The Lincoln Project” is garbage. Right wing talker Joe Pags parodies “at the hop” as “at the CHOP.” Got ’em!

Cole James Cash announces Ghetto News Network on Means TV. How should socialists relate to electoralism? Tucker Carlson offers a belabored mixed metaphor comparing spread of BLM protests to corona virus. WEDNESDAY: Ben Carson says painting BLM in the streets is like having a confederate flag painted in a public space. Dean Cain says Superman could never say “truth justice and the American way” today.
