Right wing podcasters have all shown their asses so much lately. I’m down to one political podcast I still listen to regularly. And even that one, I can miss episodes and not really care anymore. I listen to true crime and sermons. I’m just over it.

Gabe Kaminsky comes to CBS News from The Free Press, where he delivered illuminating reports on the role of money in politics and foreign influence

Nothing is much better than a cup of hot coffee or tea on a cold night, and an entertaining novel to read.

Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.

That’s called a rally! Minnesota showed up.
