About Moscow's bitch on the hannity proclaiming his alliance to Moscow's endeavor of holding up Trump (not the presidency).
Because not one GOPer argued in behalf of the presidency. Trump stand alone yes.
Pick any legal case you want.
Let me use the OJ Simpson Trial.
The prosecutor and the head jurist announce prior to the trial.
"we will work in complete alignment with the OJ Simpson defense attorney's". What ever they want. Deny witnesses which witnesses to bring. OJ will not even have to be present.
And assuring the Hannity viewers. I alone will make sure this will be over fast and end result of not guiltily.
And all the disgust of the actual OJ trail and outcome being titled a jurist NULLIFICATION.
Due to past injustices..............
The hordes of the republican zombie apocalypse are gathering in herds and rotting in masses in plain site.
We could use one of those large agricultural reaping tractors.
Not counting on the framers who selfishly supported this. For they are now on the very welfare Big government trough glutting themselves and dependent to do anything. They gave up their freedom and no longer can afford and are to deep state into Trump and this GOP zombie apocalypse to walk away from a live brain smorgasbord.
Americans laid still when the SCOTUS stepped in to override Florida state rights on elections for GW Bush.
Then wondered why SCOTUS would reach in an under the notion FOR state rights and gut section 5 of the Civil Rights act.
5 SCOTUS justices decide wealthy people do not have enough speech. Need more speech than the people of the country and the wealthy who own major shares of corporation shall use the money speech to not just speak, but drown out speech of everyone else. Knowing, it is the wealthy who own the media networks and media corporations.
If GOP senate gives the impeachment articles the Kavanaugh treatment. Will everyone just lay down and take a nap?
We let Nixon walk away only losing his job.
PS...
Nice interview and discussion. I found your guest interesting and his experience in the journalist world and how he has come to view it and deal with it.
It did help sort of explain some of the gravitational pull in the news industry and I can consider some of his comments in the future.
Although understanding why an A hole is smelly. Only tells me one thing, give it a bath.
All the perfume or cologne a palm could cup and splash on doesn't mask the odor.
Excellent interview. I found it helpful to contextualize some of the concepts you guys use almost as shorthand in ways that may make them easier to explain when writing about them to folks not familiar with your work.
So thank you again for the podcast.
We have arrived in the mountains where we are going to live for a while, but if you don't mind, I'll still refer to myself as
-Doug in Oakland
as I still love the place and consider it my home, even if I can't afford to live there any more.
PS: I will be sending more pictures of Squeaker now that we live with him.
