15: Operation Northwoods: Episode 15 (US efforts to overthrow Castro & impeachment of Andrew Johnson)

We toast daiquiris this episode! Not the red ones, y’all!! This classic cocktail, which is nothing like its popular frozen version, is refreshingly light and simple to make. Cheers to making a proper cocktail with items already in your home!

Also discussed: #thanksObama, booty, Puerto Rico, wig-snatching, Christmas gifts, death by shame, the return of Groper Cleveland, AJs in therapy, and drinking to the roaring 20s!

Stephanie details Operation Northwoods. It is by a wide margin the most sinister mission that spun out of the JFK administration. It was that time we undeniably planned to trick the American public into supporting a war with Cuba.

Tux talks impeachment y’all! He tells the story of a president who travelled the country fanning the flames of racism, division and hatred. A president who viewed his opponents with open and vocal disdain. A president who was stubborn and combative and hostile when the country really needed unity and leadership. A president who worked hard to undo the achievements of his predecessor using executive power. This president, of course, is Andrew Johnson.
