OA616: The Final Jan 6 Hearing. OR IS IT?

#T3BE 286 - Early Answer for Patrons

Well, Thomas whiffed on this one, picking (B) when the correct answer was (D).  He's now 150-for-286 (52.4%).

No early episode, sorry!

Hey patrons, I love you more than words can ever express and yet I have to disappoint you. Due to a combination of things (late recording, that recording being 150% of a normal episode length, my whole family having COVID, some other stuff) I don't think I can get the show done tonight. Sorry! I'll try for early tomorrow if I can.
Thomas + a bunch of COVID virus now taking residence in me

#T3BE 285 - Early Answer for Patrons

HOLY HELL, Thomas gets a nigh-impossible real property question correct (by answering (C)), and for the right reasons! It's only fitting that this should be his 150th correct answer, leaving him with a win rate of 52.6% (150-for-285).

OA614: The FEC Is Corrupt and Broken. Biden Has Inexplicably Neglected to Fix It.

If you or anyone you know is President Biden, please dear god listen to this episode and then get the word out. The FEC has been broken and corrupted by Trump appointees. Biden could have easily done something about it from day 1 of his administration and he just... hasn't. Listen to the full story and see example #9,576 of why Trump and Republicans can never be trusted in office.
In the first segment, we get a big update on the Musk Twitter deal. Andrew nailed another one!

OA613: Cipollone Prediction: Bullseye. Here's the Next Potential Jan 6 Domino to Fall

We haven't gotten a chance to pat Andrew on the back enough for nailing the Cipollone prediction, so let's do so! Tuesday was the first hearing since that bombshell news, and it featured a little bit of Cipollone testimony, but also teased much more to come. Andrew takes us through the hearing, with some clips. And, he has another prediction! Given his track record, we'd better take note!

#T3BE 284 - Early Answer for Patrons

This was a counter-intuitive real property question that managed to fool both Actual Thomas (C) and Thomas's Second-Chance Law Firm (who guessed A). The actual answer is (B) for the reasons described above. Thomas is now 149-for-284 (52.5%).

OA611: Cipollone to Testify! Andrew Called It! Here's What To Expect.

OA610: Elon's Twitter Deal Was a Complete Blunder. It's Not Happening.

As Andrew flagged for us before any other sources (that I saw), Elon Musk's deal to buy Twitter was never a guarantee. Well, now it's moved from not a guarantee to very unlikely. Today, we look at what happened. Also, there are two interesting possibilities being debated online. For one, that he'll be able to get out of it because of the "bots," and on the other side, that he may be forced to buy Twitter by a judge. Are either of these possible or even likely? Find out!
In the first segmen...

#T3BE SUPER Early answer for Patrons

Don't read this if you don't want the answer spoiled! We apologize for not getting this out in time; it's been quite a week trying to get the OA Foundation up and running.

...anyway, the answer is (D), which means Thomas got it correct, and is now 149-for-283 (52.7%)!

#T3BE 282 - Early answer for Patrons

Thomas picked (A), which was the right result for the wrong reason; it's (B).  Sadly, even his second-chance (C) was also wrong.  Thomas is now 148-for-282 (52.5%) and on a two-question losing streak.

OA608: Forget Church-State Separation, SCOTUS Mandates Christian Favoritism

The hits just keep on coming with this disgraceful, illegitimate Supreme Court. Andrew Seidel joins us to break down Carson v. Makin, and explains why precedent is meaningless, and the only thing that matters to this court when it comes to Church/State cases is: Christians win.

Urgent! Help required

Hey amazing patrons,

In light of Roe being struck down, Andrew and I and the extended pod family are working to get a big charity drive going to help maintain abortion access for the most vulnerable in our country. As such, the timeline on the OA charity got bumped up a bit!
Are you someone with web development expertise? We need something built within the next few days. I have enough knowledge to be confident that this is genuinely a quick project for an expert to ...

Roe Soundoff - Be Featured on the Show

Hey everyone, Thomas here,

I have just been grasping for what I could maybe do to help in this moment, and I had an idea that I want to try.

If you are someone who has needed or may need an abortion in the future, I want to give you a platform to express what you're feeling right now. I found this calendar thing online that will allow you to grab a 15 minute slot with me, jump on Zoom, and I'll record you. You can rage, you can cry, you can tell your abortion story, you can tell u...

OA606: How Egbert v. Boule Portends Shocking US Fascism โ€“ with Matt Cameron

You may have recently seen people posting about a disturbing Supreme Court decision (what else is new) with images of how much of the US is within 100 miles of a border, and how federal agents can basically get away with anything in most of the country. What was that about? Was it overblown? Welp. Attorney Matt Cameron is here to tell us no, actually. It was underblown, if anything. Not blown enough. Listen for the full breakdown, including classic Bivens.
Before that, Andrew does a quick...
