Welcome to this week’s humungous episode of The Banter Podast! In the show today:
Republicans block the formation of an independent commission to investigate the 1/6 Capitol Insurrection incited by Donald Trump because Senate rules are idiotic, and Mitch McConnell wants to be majority leader again. In our special segment “What Crazy Fucking Thing Did A Republican Say This Week”: Joe Manchin (not a Republican) says he wouldn't want to gut the filibuster in order to investigate the rioters who tried to destroy our government because – and this is real – "I'm not ready to destroy our government." Paul Ryan rises from the ether to give a delusional account of the state of the GOP. The Manhattan district attorney has convened a grand jury in the investigation of the Trump Organization. Also, why in the world has the question of Covid's origins become politicized? Listen by clicking the play button above!
