We're still kind of summering.
Sean is back from Indy. Kevin carved out time away from kids summer camping. Sean's birthday is coming up.
Today we focus on the aftermath of this week's Mueller testimony, Democratic Party leadership losing the battle to avoid impeachment, and the upcoming Democratic presidential debates.
We also give our takes on Netroots and the Young Democrats of America Conference. Yes, Sean was actually elected for something!
Kevin gives his promised review of Free Will Brewing's Blueberry Mash, Mango Mash, Sophisticated Ignorance, and Pool Beer. Sean also lists a bunch of numbers that correspond to something on the new camera lens he's crushing on.

The 2020 campaign now in full swing as Trump and his supporters launch their new racist chant: “Send them back!” The chant targets “The Squad,” Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Talib, and Ayanna Pressley - the most visible, newly elected progressive congresswoman...all, of course, women of color. Precisely why Trump is using them as surrogates to encourage violence and hatred against people of color and immigrants.
Ilhan Omar is welcomed by constituents in her home district. She pulls no punches telling reporters that she thinks Trump is indeed "fascist."
A question still remains if Democratic Party leadership has the capacity to meet Trump’s rekindled fascism. My bet is that we are on our own. Thank the old gods and the new for a growing insurgent Democratic caucus.

Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the lunar surface 50 years ago tomorrow, July 20th. Collins remained in orbit piloting the command module.
Lego released their new Lunar Module set to commemorate the historic mission. My kids and I will add that to our Lego Saturn V rocket that my daughter and I built last year.
