reality, a phrase you may have heard this is what democracy looks like. that can be an appeal, an argument, or a kind of protest, and lament to how democracy is going, which is how many view what is going on tonight, as we keep track of some of the first hearing of this new republican congress and some of the floor speeches defining the new agenda. alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. in western colorado, we call that a fun weekend. bottom line, socialism bad, capitalism good. sounds like you re prepared to go over the cliff if you have to. over the cliff. shut it down. drag queen story time, where men dress up as women and read confusing books to children. first i thought you said dry clean. confusing indeed. now, in all fairness, selected rhetoric or a few sound bites need tot define an entire party. take other eras in history, a few sound bites and that would not be the whole story. but the spats we re seeing, the often bizarre and downright hateful speeches tha

misimpression when he wrote a, quote, summary of our report that was, i thought, completely misleading. the question of, whether bill barr, did he break any rules and laws? he certainly broke a whole series of rules about the independence and objectivity of the department of justice. yeah, you make so many important points, andrew. one being that the prosecutorial interference in the allies of friends of the president and who may have tried to activery disrupt investigations, including one you were on is a potentially serious rule violation, and second, he s hiding behind these very legalistic, in the worst sense of the word, dodges about what he did in this redo, and with the power of the federal government, his willingness to defend the rules or further, they still didn t come up with anything, nothing. it s the opposite as well of mueller in terms of how he was
