Episode 1: Police Brutality and Post Office Sabotage

Welcome to the very first episode of Yes, It's That Bad. Today we discuss news from over the weekend as well as what broke this morning. Topics include the death of the wrong Trump, a judge ruling that you can in fact discriminate against gay people as long as you claim it's your "art", the assault of the post office, Jeffrey Epstein being a creep and showing off a 14 year old victim to the president at his Florida club, the police doing that thing they do so well (hiding evidence of their brutality), and an election news roundup. We're proud to bring you our very first show, and hope you'll join us for many more!
