Strange but true; I've been thinking about tweeting a
quote from Machiavelli's- The Prince, each day.
You inspired me to get my own copy.
Yes indeed, the Attorney General committed a crime. We have hard evidence of said crime.
Perhaps we should try and hold him to account for it this time, and stave off the slide into authoritarianism we are currently scooting along in.
Sometimes these things do take a while, but god damn it we have to actually do it this time.
Not doing it before is how we got here, and if you're afraid of being accused of trying to prosecute your political opponents you need to wake the fuck up.
Thank you again for the podcast, things are beginning to settle down a little but sanity is always in shorter supply than would be healthy.

Surviving, resisting and overcoming when trapped between between two tragedies.
One being the historical documented event. Infamously known as, "Gilligan's Island". How disaster challenged people that endured and survive a horrible accident out of their control.
Simultaneously (on the other side of you is), the well told story of the passionate endurance man can endure. Elegantly depicted by Hollywood in the Movie Titanic.
Where we are inspired of man's endurance to overcome the worst of circumstances.
Caught between both sides of these tragedies. Both caused by the adventurous spirit of humans defying all obstacles. The determination and confidence of one skipper who concludes the money paid over rides the caution and safety of passengers to brave a overwhelming storm at sea.
As Another captain of a cor[orate employ is emboldened with special superiority his ship is unsinkable. Accepts this ideology to save money on life boats. His bosses ordained the captain with special super[powers to ignore Ice Bergs for being immune and above the law of physics.
As the Titanic sinks with limited life boats n severe freezing waters. Who gets the limited life boat seats, How do the rest seek their immediate survival. Waiting for rescue. Rescuing yourself. What to do if help is one the way. In the meantime? If help doesn't come.
While the USS Minnow wrecks itself on the shore of an uninhabited, uncharted Island. Confronting how to survive with shelter, food needs. How to get rescued when or how to get off the Island and back to civilization.
How the people in in both the side of the actual event and the one created from imagination for entertainment. How they behave in such peril. Do they socialize and untie together for the purpose of 1) staying alive, 2) attaining amenities of survival, 3) combine efforts to accomplish these things and the pursuit of rescue.
Does the "rugged individualist" lead the charge for every man, woman and child for themselves? Win the day?
In the movie Titanic, Do they portray women and children first? Is it life boat seats go to the highest bidder? Captain and crew first? Survival of the highest wealthiest bidder doesn't quite assist the survival of the Crew members who do not get one of those life boat seats.
This doesn't fully explain being entrapped on the republican road to squealer and a unimaginable wild west slave plantation society for the future.
Trump gets the head of the serpent credit.
Republicans support this serpent with the legs and arms.
It is a certain incredible folks of wealth, royal entitlement who feed the serpent. This serpent does not exist without being nurtured, fed and trained to attack and the willingness to be controlled to perform the bidding.
In the meantime, I am working with the professor to engineer a ham radio to call for help. Out of Coconuts, sea shells, and Kelp.
If it works. The first broadcast SOS will not be, Russia if your listening.
As I caught over at C&L. Gorka invited on as a guest.
Because he has something to contribute that he hasn't already?
Takes a criticism call and with superior race republican ideology .
Replies with dismissing a caller who should not have speech or be listened to because one (zombie trigger word).
"Liberal".
So why hasn't CSPAN invited the Driftglass or Blue Gal on?
Matter of fact, they never had the "forgotten Coal Miner" on either.
I suppose next, they will invite on Republican Rep. Steve King and Charles Mason to talk about how it feels to be persecuted like Jesus
You know, they have some vitally important burning issues Americans deserve and need to hear.
