Common Ground Attack: Recent Episodes
Common Ground Attack
Our two minds tend to think alike, but not all the time. And we come on this show to walk, run, glide, and powerslide into mutual understanding and maybe find some common ground...
Joshua Hefley for President - and as a Presidental candidate, we talk extensively about his opponents and how such poor choices they are. We get our pre-election jitters out in the open and discuss some of the headlines from the past month, get into our thoughts and feelings leading up to the day. Light on research this episode so do your homework if you hear us say something that piques your interest. Get out and vote (like you don't hear that enough lol)
Where have we been? Find out on the podcast today. It's been a long and bumpy road but happy to be recording again. We got plenty to chew on in this double stuffed episode. We talk Biden's VP pick, Kamala Harris; the United State Postal Service, Covid-19, Senator on vacations, and more
I'm working away from home (where I was already working away from work) so this week's description will be lacking. I'll try harder next time. Listen as we talk about all the wild things in current events!
On today's show we get into a lot of what's going on in the news, including responses to the protests and JK Rowling, and we finally get to a bit of a retrospective on how our country and this administration have dealt with the Cornavirus.

In today's episode, we remember those of the military who sacrificed for us. We talk about Biden's latest attempt to self-sabotage his presidential campaign, Trump's latest attempt to self-sabotage his internal organs, and Eddie and Josh each breakdown Trump's first term positives and negatives, respectively.

Our second episode! We've doubled the episode count. Go us! And just like Vice President Joseph Biden, we want to ride high on our previous, overinflated successes. Join us today as we talk to pros and cons (mostly cons) of the Biden nomination and his coming race against fellow problem child senior, President Donald J. Trump. See why we might lack faith in his chances and why he might also be a bitter pill to be swallowed.
