The sound quality on this suddenly got way worse
Thank you for the hard work putting out the podcasts. Definitely worth the monthly payments. I saw this today on Cracked.com, which I read to be down with the kids or something, and remembered this post. <a href="http://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-2403-6-reasons-why-new-civil-war-possible-terrifying.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-2403-6-reasons-why-new-civil-war-possible-terrifying.html</a> It would be nice to know what you or other listeners make of the article? Some alarm bells were raised by the description of the surge as successful. However, what really got me suspicious was the suggestion that viewing Hilary as equally repugnant to Trump and a lack of faith in the US government could lead to Syria style battles between right wing "Oxycontin-popping" militias, extreme offshoots of Black Lives Matter and lefties.
