Alan Dershowitz got on the Senate floor last night and forwarded two extremely dangerous arguments:
1. The President of The United States cannot be impeached for "abuse of power" even if it is provable unless it reached the level of high crime.
2. The President of the United States cannot be impeached for doing something he believed to be in the best interest of the United States -- AND, that includes his/her own re-election.

Max Boot has a problem with how "insanely consistent" Bernie Sanders has been. Let's pick apart this ridiculous article.
--
Polling suggests Sanders is going to dominate in the primaries. Andrew Gillum of CNN tries to downplay the significance of the first few races.
******** On The Bonus Show For PATRONS Only *********
Zerlina Maxwell of MSNBC thinks Bernie diagnosis the problem but doesn't offer any solutions? Now, we all know that's bullshit.
--
Amy Klobuchar has a problem with an old case she helped make against a Black man who is currently serving a life sentence. Someone else has now confessed to the murders he was found guilty of. Minnesota Black Lives Matter and NAACP activists are calling on her to suspend her campaign.
--
Finally, Ted Cruz is calling for Hunter Biden to testify IF John Bolton has to testify. Okay, then. Let's do it.
Episode 799 | Laughing At Trump & His Supporters | Hard Questions | Trump's Cash for Black Voters Scheme
Episode 799
--
Don Lemon and his guests are catching the ire of the President and everyone else who hates the "smug liberal elite" because they laughed at the stupidity of Donald Trump and his supporters. Well, laugh at them because we are living in the era of Idiocracy. Also, Donald Trump and his supporters treat America like sh*t so forgive me if I have no sympathy for their ignorance.
--
It's about time. Reporters are finally asking questions of politicians that will, at other times, get their access revoked. But in the era of Trump, access journalism with softball questions was not enough. Trump wanted media that would serve his propaganda needs. And so, in a twisted way, Trump has been good for actual journalism.
--
Finally, a new exclusive from Politico was dropped this morning about Trump surrogates handing out cash envelopes to Black communities in order to woo the Black vote. This has serious implications in terms of campaign finance, but also, it's going to be hella effective.

I hate when I have to debunk Right-wing conspiracy theories -- especially when they exonerate politicians I'm not fond of like Hillary Clinton (Ukrainian One) and Joe Biden (Burisma). But, we have to be careful not to engage in disingenuous arguments nor carry the water for Republicans. So one last time, Joe Biden and Hunter Biden are guilty of nepotism, but they are not guilty quid-pro-quo in the same fashion as Donald Trump.

A new attack ad on Bernie Sanders came out. They thought it would make him look bad. But, to me, it made him look even more like who we need to vote for.
Tough day. Tough Weekend. Thanks for hearing me out.

MSNBC did a segment that tried to explain to their viewers what Democratic Socialism is. I think they're coming to the realization that Bernie Sanders is going to win.
--
Joe Biden went OFF on a reporter. Our live-caller wants to know if this is an example of him not being able to handle the race or Donald Trump.
--
A new organization, Defend Democracy Together, is promoting a video entitled, President Pence. Let's discuss this.

Finally, live callers and questions from our live chat.
Forgive this basic description. Trying some new workflows and behind schedule. Here's today's episode. 😆
I'm back! I was sick yesterday but better today.
Live stream happening later this morning on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/USdems/
Lots in this episode including my inevitable endorsement of Bernie Sanders. With that said, I've got to hit some deadlines so please forgive this short description.
Episode 792 |
Warren confronted Sanders in a hot mic moment after the debate. Let's talk about this along with the reason so many people don't want to support Sanders: His supporters are mean. But let's also juxtapose that to why Sanders supporters won't support anyone else: POLICY.
--
Lev Parnas' interview with Rachel Maddow was ground shattering for the President. Yet, none of it matters when the Senate is complicit and co-conspirators in obstructing justice.
--
Finally, many of us started off as #RunWarrenRun. I've supported Warren for years. But here we are. How did we get here?
It's all in the episode.
