Politics has been polickin', baby and Eboni and Dustin have thoughts and opinions! Most recently, we get into on the shooting at a recent Trump rally, and tragedy the befell one of the attendees. While we absolutely condemn violence, we also understand why many aren't surprised at Trump's brush with harm.

Eboni and Dustin then get into exactly what the 25th Amendment to the Constitution is and how those who want Joe Biden out of office so badly could utilize it IF he's such a terrible candidate (check out Biden's record appointments of non-white federal judges)
