FOSTA SESTA Change or Disappear

Welcome To My Vagina | More Banana Podcasts

On this week’s episode, Jessy and Rebekah discuss Matt Whitaker, Jeff Sessions’ replacement as Attorney General. Now, Jeff Sessions was for sure a racist so we’re not sad to see him go. But Whitaker? He’s something else. You’re favorite hosts then move on to FOSTA/SESTA, a bill signed into law that seriously restricts expression on the internet all under the guise of trying to disrupt sex trafficking. There have already been a lot of serious implications, including some ways in which we personally have been effected. It’s sort of a serious episode but don’t you worry, we wrap that shit up with a few well placed dad jokes so fasten your seatbelts and get ready to laugh (and maybe fill with dread) until you queef.

• 01:30: According to the Des Moines Register, during the Iowa Family Leader debate back in 2014, in reference to potential judges Whitaker went on the record as saying, “I’d like to see things like their world view, what informs them. Are they people of faith? Do they have a biblical view of justice?… I’m a New Testament. And what I know is as long as they have that world view, that they’ll be a good judge.” Religion should not be involved in the law, but this quote directly rejects both Judaism and the Muslim faith which predate the New Testament.
