S2E19: Rose Seeds for a Paved Garden

from CivilDiscourse101 · host CivilDiscoursePurpleState

No rundown, no rules — just two friends chasing the thread wherever it went. This week, Joe and Jesse unpack Xi's quiet power moves on Trump in Beijing, the rose seeds gifted for a garden that got paved over, and Congress swearing it can't survive on $170K. Then the tinfoil comes out: Chinese robot armies, Orwellian doublespeak, déjà vu by tachyon, and why 2016 might've been the beta test for a simulation that badly needs a patch. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have a civil conversation.
