Gina Grad joins Cenk, Jimmy, and Rubin for SCS.  The Turkish government will pixelate any tweets that they don’t agree with.  Multiple twitter users in the country are being prosecuted for tweeting information on where to meet for a protest.  Ironically, an American was arrested when cops busted down his door for his fake Twitter account of the mayor. A frat at Ole Miss University was shut down after they created a hanging scene that depicted the 1st Black student as the victim.  Their suspensions actually have nothing to do with the racist, murderous scene, but other relating factors.  Scientists have discovered several species of insects that have females with penises and males with vaginas.  Genitalia doesn’t determine gender.  Talk about all the odd sexual animal facts.  A leaked sex list of Lindsay Lohan made her very uncomfortable while on What What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

Cenk, John Iadarola, Jimmy Dore, and David Rubin hosting.  Video of Snowden asking Putin a question about the Russian surveillance program; if its similar to the United States.  Many believe that Snowden is working in cahoots with Putin to free his country from speculation.  Snowden responded to the criticism with denials.  While Republicans continue to stonewall any progress on immigration, Obama had a cordial conversation with Eric Cantor over the phone, which he followed up with a scathing statement about the President.  Video of Obama responding that he was surprised by the negative statement right after a very nice conversation. The staffer that Vance McAllister believes leaked the video of him kissing another female staffer has quit without a clear reason, considering she denies leaking the tape.  McAllister’s team claims to have not forced her out, either.  Cenk reveals that this resigned staffer used to work in the camp of the candidate McAllister beat.  Conservative talk radio host Bryan Fischer had a creationist on to explain how all the animals, including dinosaurs, fit on Noah’s Arc.  A chart on gun deaths after Stand Your Ground was implemented was put out by the FL Dept of Law Enforcement.  The chart showed that gun deaths dramatically dropped, but when it was discovered that they simply inverted the chart, they had to remake it to show how sharply the numbers increased.
