Word to your Moms: Episode 54 (Obama's First Drone Strikes)

In this final episode of Season 4 we are imbibing a classic, the Sazerac–a drink that some cocktail historians say was the oldest American cocktail. This concoction and other “old-fangled” alcoholic mixtures from 150+ years ago were reborn in the late 2000s, the era of STEPHANIE’s scandal.

🍸 - Episode 54 Sazerac – Beyond Reproach

In this episode STEPHANIE does a deep dive into President Obama’s first drone strikes–the one that happened 72hrs of him being in the Oval Office and how these “smart, tactical counter-terrorism maneuvers” carried out by the CIA hit the wrong ****ing targets right out the gate. We 🥂 to when warring for peace goes wrong, as it always does because that shit don’t make no sense.
