Convention Depression | Episode 255 (August 21, 2020)
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 23/08/2020

It’s the week of the DNC Convention so of course we’ll be making fun of the most stupid and cringeworthy moments. We’ll also talk about Trump’s continued assault on the U.S. Postal Service and how this may impact the 2020 election in a substantial way if the Democratic Party doesn’t take immediate action. We’ll also talk about the return of the birther movement, Cardi B’s interview with Joe Biden, the Democratic Party’s plans for healthcare reform, and more!
