Ep. 12.21.19: IMPEACHMENT! (It's only a model)

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
The House takes a historic vote to impeach the President of the United States for only the third time in history. The impact of the moment, however, is seriously undermined by a criminal political organization, the GOP, whose members regard the US Constitution and US laws as inapplicable to themselves. Republican determination to turn the effort to preserve the US Constitution into a theater of the absurd prevents the House from even forwarding the Articles of Impeachment to a criminal Senate masterminded by Moscow Mitch. How does America survive this? (Sorry, we don't answer that question, we just ask it.)
Also, the latest on false equivalences from the paper of record show why saving America is so likely to be a losing proposition; we continue to reward criminals and liars by failing to note what they are, and how they are different from those who believe in rules, accountability...and truth. Speaking of which, two GOP-approved judges strike down the individual mandate of Obamacare. And the war against health care also continues apace! Boris Johnson, Trump-like liar, and ultra-rightists win big in UK elections; is that an omen for 2020 in the US and the end of democracy?

Ep. 12.7.19: Saving us From False Equivalences (and the Evils of Socialism!)

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
Happy D-Day?! We commemorate the day Donald Trump single-handedly saved a US state from the Chinese. Then Dave turns serious...serious as a presidential impeachment, which is proceeding at a rapid pace.
Bill Maher has a tremendously problematic "can't we all just get along?" moment, so Dave has a "can't we all just making stop false equivalences?" show. For good and for bad, the left continues to demonstrate why efforts to find equivalencies between a flawed political party and a criminal organization and its adherents are flawed and dangerous.
We discuss the vast differences between left and right in the way we treat ideas, education, the planet, and each other. Dave gets personal for a few minutes in discussing being a victim of vandalism. His personal property was destroyed by someone who was attacking socialists for...(wait for it!)...not respecting other people's property! Seriously. And we are supposed to treat these jackasses with respect?
