It turns out Donald Trump’s litany of immoral & corrupt behavior is a long continuous thread that one can normalize. Itemized like this makes impeachment an obligation.
As I prepared for my Politics Done Right show at KPFT 90.1 FM today I was listening to The BradCast show. Nicole Sadler from the Nicole Sadler show subbed for Brad Friedman. As I wrote my show I was listening haphazardly but then she got my attention. She was articulating a list of Trump’s bad deeds. It never seemed to stop. It is no wonder it has been so hard to keep up.
Nicole got my attention. I stopped what I was doing and listened intently. She was reading the New York Times article below, “Donald Trump vs. the United States of America” by David Leonhardt.
