Ep. 10.14.19: Betrayal! and, The Four Henchmen of the Apocalypse

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS

This Week’s Discussion:

 

We will look at the latest happenings in the impeachment investigation of Trump's betrayal of America. First, however, we look at his betrayal of the Syrian Kurds and discuss its place in the long and sordid history of Republican betrayals of Kurds. We examine what may have moved Trump to reverse long-time US policy in a way that even Republicans disapprove of...and which has Pat Robertson threatening his evangelical mandate from heaven.

We look at Trump's henchmen, and wonder who will be the next to turn--or be turned on. For an answer, we look to which criminals are liable to head to prison first (not counting Rudy Giuliani's just-indicted mafia-like friends). Republican willingness to debase themselves for Trump might appear boundless, but is it beginning to reach its limit?

Finally, we answer a listener's questions about democracy and the American voter. Are voters right to feel estranged from their government, and thus to refuse to participate in the political process? Are we right to find such voters despicable?
