01) The Fight to Save Net Neutrality Begins Now – Episode 124


“In this gigantic episode of The Humanist Report and our last show of 2017 we’ll kick things off with more than an hour of net neutrality coverage, including the ways in which we can now fight back against the FCC’s decision, what to expect, why the fight for public broadband matters now more than ever, and more of Ajit Pai’s smug lies and contradictions. We’ll also discuss the Republican Party’s last f*ck you to Americans for the year, and how they’re already planning to screw over the poor even more in 2018. Additionally, Mike talks to Nomiki Konst to get the inside scoop on the DNC Unity Reform Commission, and comedian Jimmy Dore talks to Mike about the Democratic Party’s refusal to be liberal. We’ll end the show with our annual award show and a recap of 2017. If you can handle listening to someone complain about politics for MORE THAN THREE HOURS you’re in for a treat! Enjoy the show!”

01) Allan J Lichtman, “The Case For Impeachment”


http://www.politics-prose.com/book/9780062696823

One of the most searched phrases on the Internet today is “Impeach Trump.” How realistic is this possibility? Lichtman, Distinguished Professor of History at American University, believes that Trump’s impeachment isn’t a matter of if but when, and his new book details how it might work. First, he looks at President Trump’s particular vulnerabilities, including his dealings with Russia, his conflicts of interest at home and abroad, and numerous civil suits surrounding his actions. Lichtman puts these into historical context with detailed presentations of previous presidential impeachments, including Congress’s 1868 action against President Andrew Johnson, debates about sanctioning Nixon, and the hearings into President Clinton’s behavior.
