Power. In order to have power you have to have power. Democrats have to stop winning arguments and start winning elections because as we say its a cliche elections have consequences and now you have Mitch Mcconnell whos empowered by the president and the president empowered him as well. Thats what happens and elections have consequences. If the Republican Party has the power, the Republican Party is not checking this president , not checking Mitch Mcconnell, so they get to put on the Supreme Court who they want to put on the Supreme Court if theres a vacancy. And of course all across the country. The Supreme Court three yesterday, two for new york the Southern District and then one somewhere down south. The Supreme Court is obviously what it sounds like. It is the last word on the law in this country, but a lot of law is made in lower courts. They dont get to the Supreme Court on everything, and they are stocking courts all across the country. You know, i guess the new phrase for carvi

Hilarious friday follies for you later in the show. Airline etiquette and a bizarre new couple site on the docket. But first the doj is dropping criminal charges against former acting fbi director Andrew Mccabe. Who admitted to lying to federal investigators. Meanwhile, roger stone could spend nine years in prison for a similar crime. Lying to congress. Does any of that seem fair to you . It shouldnt. Apparently, there is still a two tiered system of justice in washington, d. C. Where Trump Supporters are punished and resistance members tend to walk. And they dont just gogo free. They are handed lucrative gigs on television to play victim to a crowd. We dont expect to live in a country where p the perceived political enemies of the president suddenly become the subjects of criminal investigations, in a a pursuit, you know, to throw political enemies in jail.

But on the 28th, everything went silent. They became gravely concerned, in fact, so concerned that actually when it was revealed he was detained by russian authorities, they were somewhat relieved because they feared for his life. They know how serious the circumstance is, but at least its better than fearing that someone is dead. The company he works for says he was not over there in any
