Today on the show, we talk about some of the news stories from this past week, including the recent announcement of the Religious Liberty Task Force, the Paul Manafort trial, the most recent Facebook scandal involving election meddlers, and whether or not collusion is a crime. Needless to say, since it’s been a while since our last episode, we have a lot to say!Links:•Sessions announces 'religious liberty task force': http://thehill.com/regulation/administration/399482-sessions-announces-religious-liberty-task-force •Jeff Sessions announces a religious liberty task force to combat “dangerous” secularism: https://www.vox.com/identities/2018/7/31/17631110/jeff-sessions-religious-liberty-task-force-memo-christian-nationalism •Why Jeff Sessions thinks Christians are under siege in America: https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2018/8/1/17638706/religious-liberty-sessions-task-force-masterpiece-scalia-constitution •Trump Administration Defends Violence Against LGBT In Africa As ‘Religious Freedom’: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2018/07/trump-administration-defends-violence-against-lgbt-in-africa-as-religious-freedom/ •Manafort jury hears of lavish spending on luxury clothes: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/manafort-jury-hears-of-lavish-spending-on-luxury-clothes/2018/08/01/785b230a-95c5-11e8-a679-b09212fb69c2_story.html?utm_term=.45b217c694de •Facebook has detected a coordinated effort to influence US politics ahead of the 2018 midterm elections: https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-coordinated-effort-influence-2018-us-midterm-elections-2018-7 •Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani says collusion with Russia is not a crime: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-lawyer-rudy-giuliani-says-collusion-russia-not-crime-n895766?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma •The Trans Podcaster Visibility Initiative: https://www.facebook.com/transvisiblepodcaster/ •A Lost State of Mind: http://aloststateofmind.bandcamp.com •The Biskeptical Podcast on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/biskepticalpodcast/ •The Biskeptical Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/biskepticalpod •Bi Any Means/Biskeptical Podcast Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/179617892470906/ •Trav’s Twitter: http://twitter.com/tmamone •Morgan’s Twitter: http://twitter.com/mostring •Morgan on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/morgan.stringer.9 •Beyond the Trailer Park: https://www.spreaker.com/show/beyond-the-trailer-park-aoa •Bi Any Means Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/show/bi-any-means-podcast •Email: biskepticalpodcast@gmail.com •Listener line: 410-690-3558 •Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/biskepticalpodcast
