Why the Common App has more Common sense than 45
For my season finale, I will be addressing (alone) my opinions on the events that unfolded Jan. 6. I just remembered I never acknowledged nor congratulated the historic wins in Georgia, so my best goes to you both. Please, if you are conservative and this title upsets you, I urge you to make it through this episode. The events from Wednesday call us all to start listening where we get our views from, I ask you take the time out of your day to hear mine. Here are the links that I discussed in my episode: allsides.org for looking at political bias and https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/10/george-conway-trump-unfit-office/599128/ to see the psychology behind Trump’s behavior.
