Ep. 10.5.19: It Can't Be Bad If It Feels This Good (And I Keep Doing It). The Donald Trump Impeachment Defense...and what he tells Melania
THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
We look in more detail at the many...err, 1 impeachable offense that is the subject of congressional impeachment investigation. We look at what the crime is, the fact that he obviously did it, and that it is a big deal that must end in his removal from office. We look at some of the other crimes he has committed in just the last couple of weeks, and we consider the "impeachability" of his henchmen (and the worst ever name for a law firm) Pompeo, Barr, Giuliani and Pence. We also look at the Trump defense strategy of attacking, lying, obfuscating, minimizing, and appealing to playing the victim to appeal to his aggrieved white base. How should Democrats conduct the investigation (hint: turn over every crooked leaf) and how likely is Trump to get away with this.
We look briefly at what is the truly problematic aspect of the Hunter Biden fiasco: privilege. We look at that affair in the context of our ongoing discussions on the true nature of the threats wealth and privilege present to this country, threats that Trump and the Republicans call assets because they owe their existence to it.
