OnlyLands Ep. 73: The Don't-Vote Backlash, Congressional Trading & a Fake Iran War

The crew addresses some genuine internal drama head on, after a clipped and amplified "maybe we should all just stop voting" comment from within the Badlands family sparked accusations of being anti Trump, leading to a spirited defense of why showing up to vote still matters even when the system feels rigged. From there it's on to a genuinely fascinating tangent about using AI to track congressional stock trades, including one representative who has reportedly traded on nearly every possible trading day for a year straight, and a candid admission about a failed attempt at building an automated trading bot. The back half dives into midterm predictions, a Supreme Court ruling touching federal voting databases, and a wild theory connecting the Iran war, gas prices, and a certain someone getting "teleported" out of Venezuela. Sponsor reads and plenty of banter round out a packed one.
