The FP Zaddy is back! This week he and Travis discuss the role of the IRGC in this seemingly never-ending war and how, surprise surprise, the Trump administration has gotten trapped in the quicksand of a holy war they did not see coming. They talk through Trump's latest ploy in his quest to end birthright citizenship and the ongoing tragedy of the demise of TPS. Also, after a quiet week, JD is back in all his monstrous glory.
