THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
As people get sick and die in tragically escalating numbers, and as the economic devastation surpasses historic proportions, the Republican criminal organization sees and seizes the opportunity to enrich itself. Donald Trump and his criminal ilk show they are not willing to serve in wars, but they sure are willing to profit off of the deaths of others. Another reminder of the extent to which this is just a criminal organization masquerading as a political party, Will we ever come to grips with just how low they will go?
This leads us to say that in one respect it is a good thing that Trump is the President at this time and in position not to lead. If a Democrat were President, the GOP would be doing everything it could to make the crisis even worse before the 2020 election. Yeah, they're that low; just look at recent history.
We also talk about how the minority party (based on votes) continues to make efforts to steal the federal judiciary for a generation, as Moscow Mitch tries to get older Republican judges to retire so he can appoint younger apparatchiks. Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court gets ready to decide whether Donald Trump is above the law. Anyone optimistic out there?

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
This Week’s Discussion:
You probably haven't been hearing much about the coronavirus, so Dave weighs in to help remind you why it pays to have a President, while Trump reminds everyone why he is so tragically not up to the job. Dave also talks about the lessons of the global pandemic; that is, the political lessons even bigger than the current moment.
We also spend a few minutes on the dramatic events of the last week in the race for the Democratic nomination, and what it means that Joe Biden is almost certain to be the Democratic nominee. RIP Bernie, your lessons live on!
