nope. going to have to correct you there, donald. that is in fact not the law, which is how you ended up in a court of law just yesterday. plus, gaslighting efforts kick into high gear on the right with false equivalencies flying fast and furious all over fox. and later, the great rachel maddow joins me to talk about her amazing new podcast that takes us back in time eerily similar to those we are experiencing today. we begin tonight on donald trump s birthday. he turned 77 years old today. happy birthday you twice indicted, twice impeached found liable for sexual abuse former president! i m sure it s been an interesting one. a day of reflection perhaps on what matters in life like family, good health, community, or not. i mean, this is donald trump we re talking about. so what matters in life are things, gold toilets, celebrity tchotchke collections, gold stuff on the walls in the gold ballroom or the shaquille o neal sneak he bragged about to a wall street journal
