F45: We hate Donald Trump and so should you. Amateur politics chat.

We always knew that Facebook wasn’t the product. We were. Our information is used for advertisements, but maybe it’s also a bit more nefarious than that.

This week we vent our frustrations about losing our … Continue reading Everyone thinks Americans are dummies.

It’s our inaugural episode of F45! Our frustration this week is our gun problem and how we are unique in that we have no even once attempted to fix this problem. The latest school shooting left 17 dead and spawned zero action from anyone. Attempts to fix this problem are blocked by Republicans, the NRA … Continue reading Guns, guns, guns.
