Katie Phang Is Coming By At 11am Tomorrow To Talk About Him, And Our Opportunity - Join Us!
Tonight is grotesque. A rancid last hurrah of failed and malicious politics. A better day is coming.
Evening all. Yes I am watching. But I am wrapping up now. The images that have been sitting with me all night have been various of shots of John Roberts looking like a haunted Shakespearean actor:
Tonight is grotesque. A last hurrah of a deeply failed and malicious politics. A better day is coming.
Join me and Katie to talk about the terrible state of our union at 11am tomorrow morning by clicking on this link. I’m excited to discuss the Spanberger and Padilla responses, which this Castro-like speech has pushed into late night, but we will all be sharing enthusiastically tomorrow.
And get some sleep folks. We have a lot of work ahead of us - Simon

John Roberts will either go down in history as the person who almost gave away our democracy or the person who did, depending on how things work out. He should feel haunted for the rest of his life.
That's not joy in his eyes. He should be haunted by the immunity decision. He let the orange Godzilla loose to destroy all we hold dear and precious in our democratic union.
