Ep. 2.21.20: Putin For President! (Better than ”President for Putin”?)

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS

This Week’s Discussion:

 

Trump continues his march to totalitarianism. 

To what must be the shock, shock, of his Republican enablers who argued that impeachment would rein-in Trump's lawlessness when they would not (talking to you, Susan Collins), Trump has already made it crystal clear that his lawlessness will not be curtailed. We talk about some of the events of the past week that show Trump's march to totalitarianism, with the help of a complicit criminal organization.

Dave discusses the latest on Russia's efforts to help him and his co-conspirators steal the 2020 elections, and Trump's anger at his intelligence agencies' efforts to stop it. If Dems are really serious about beating Trump, maybe they should nominate Vladimir Putin; who better to beat him than the one who puts him there? Also, Trump clemency and pardons indicate that he believes he is now the law.  White collar crime is not a crime, and nothing is a crime if it is carried out by someone willing to say nice things about him. AG William Barr tries to cover his ass (kissing) and the media laps it up.

Plus, a little of the latest on the corruption and criminality in the White House, and the latest on the coronavirus and why it shows we might want to start liking the idea of competent government again.
