Friends,
Welcome back to another Saturday coffee klatch, where Heather and I review the highs and lows (and even lowers) of the week. Today we focus on:
— Trump’s arrest. Why was there no violence, as many had feared? Can we possibly elect a president who’s in prison?
— Trump’s promise to appoint a special prosecutor to “go after Biden and the entire Biden crime family” if Trump is reelected president. Do we need to take Sam Ervin’s advice after Watergate?
— The GOP House loonies. Is Kevin McCarthy regretting the Faustian bargain he made to become speaker?
— Candidates running for president on the Republican side who no one has ever heard of. Why are they running?
— This week’s upbeat news — including Democratic “trifecta” states and the best series on television.
Thank you to Deirdre Broderick / Corey Kaup and Joseph Lawson for today’s theme songs, and to all of you for listening. And now our weekly poll:
So glad you joined us for today’s coffee klatch. If you’re receiving this free of charge, please consider a paid subscription (or a paid gift subscription) so we can do even more.
Could we really elect a president who’s in prison? Yes.
