This week on TFR we talk through the horrors of the Bondi Beach and Brown University shootings and the murder of the great Rob Reiner. We question who in their right mind would have the stomach (ahem, Mr. President) to try and score political points in the face of such tragedy. We then shift our focus to the year ahead, which is bound to be better, right? Will JD become prez? Will Israel attack Iran? Will the war in Ukraine finally come to an end? We can’t promise to be particularly hopeful but we can promise to make it bearable!
