01) I would take issue with the claim that “things had switched”, regarding the lefts history of protest and anger and the rights history of modesty and respecting the establishment…
…Leftists are still every bit as angry and protesting the system, as ever…it just seems more of the right has entered into this territory with us.
02) People in the U.S. government who “can’t be bought off”?!…
…Is this guy serious?!
03) …Another “let’s move on”?…
Nobody is “killing Donald Trump again”…This is entirely about accountability and reckoning.
If they simply ignore it all and let this go [incitement of the capital riot that killed five people]…then what excuse exists to ever hold any politician legally responsible, no matter what they do?
It is an extreme dereliction of duty, to simply do nothing about this.
I wanted to say this was a generally interesting interview [I did follow till the end, after all]…but this guy is a bozo.

“From the 1990 album “Third World Warrior”. In later versions Kris changed lyrics of the spoken part to “Bombin’ Baghdad back into the stone age, ’round the clock non-stop for 40 days, killed ’em in their homes and on their highways. Now after a decade of cripplin’ sanctions we’re talkin’ about goin’ back in there and doin’ it all over again, fightin’ terrorism.”

“The Democrats are now in control of the White House, and have majorities in the House and the Senate and have several massive emergencies they were elected to deal with. However, as Republicans made clear when Obama was President, and with the GOP turning even more nefarious since then, they will ruthlessly try to stymie the Biden administration no matter what they try and accomplish. Their best instrument to undercut democracy from working is Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the cynical use of the threat of a filibuster. Will Americans (and the Democratic party) really let a misused legislative tactic prevent the government from making any progress on Covid, the economy, health care or anything else? Michael is joined by Adam Jentleson, a former top aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has written a book about the undemocratic U.S. Senate and the need to kill the filibuster for the sake of democracy.
Call your U.S. Senator! End the Filibuster! Majority Rules, Minority Rights.

“Rudy Giuliani’s slimy work for Donald Trump comes back to bit him.
The president’s allies had contended that the voting machine company — which was also used in states during Mr. Trump’s victory in the 2016 election, has been tested by government agencies, and was used in states Mr. Trump carried in 2020 — was somehow involved in a rigged election, partly as a result of ties to a long-deceased Venezuelan dictator.

“As more evidence is discovered, we learn the Capitol Hill attack could have been way worse.
Police have seized an alarming number of guns from President Trump’s supporters who descended on Washington, D.C., last week and stormed the Capitol in an effort to stop Congress’s certification of the 2020 election results.
The details revealed in court documents over the past week paint a disturbing picture indicating that some of the demonstrators flocked to the Capitol prepared to carry out violence. The cases, likely only the beginning of a lengthy federal investigation, also suggest that the riot that overran the halls of Congress and left five people dead could have been much worse.
