Word to your Moms: Episode 54 (Obama's First Drone Strikes)

In this final episode of Season 4 we are imbibing a classic, the Sazerac–a drink that some cocktail historians say was the oldest American cocktail. This concoction and other “old-fangled” alcoholic mixtures from 150+ years ago were reborn in the late 2000s, the era of STEPHANIE’s scandal.

🍸 - Episode 54 Sazerac – Beyond Reproach

In this episode STEPHANIE does a deep dive into President Obama’s first drone strikes–the one that happened 72hrs of him being in the Oval Office and how these “smart, tactical counter-terrorism maneuvers” carried out by the CIA hit the wrong ****ing targets right out the gate. We 🥂 to when warring for peace goes wrong, as it always does because that shit don’t make no sense.

TUX talks about the birth of an idea within the conservative movement that helped make the Reagan presidency possible, by helping to shape not only his political philosophy but those of the powerful people who put him in office and the wealthy people he surrounded himself with.
