'BradCast' 2/6/2018 (Guest: Heather 'Digby' Parton
As one political mess piles up on top of another across the country at an impossible pace, HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon and Digby's Hullaballoo joins us today to try to make sense of it all -- from Donald Trump's charge on Monday that Democrats who failed to applaud his State of the Union may have committed "treason," to Republicans using the cherry-picked Nunes Memo to falsely claim that Robert Mueller's Special Counsel probe must be shutdown on specious grounds, to Rep. Devin Nunes' (R-CA) promised upcoming new memos, which are believed to be an attempt to make the case that Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, conspired with Russia before the 2016 election.\xa0 We discuss the mess in Congress as yet another possible federal government shutdown looms amid Trump's bad faith deal-making with Democrats over the fate of some 800,000 DACA kids, who Trump has been using as a human shield for his radical new immigration demands.\xa0 Speaking of the rise of authoritarianism under Republican rule:\xa0 new developments in Pennsylvania, where an elected PA state legislator is now moving to impeach 5 justices on the state Supreme Court for ruling against that state's illegally gerrymandered Congressional districts. Plus Desi Doyen with the latest 'Green News Report'.
