Appreciate that you focused on morals - yes! That's an important thing to keep calling out. Immorality, lack of basic humanity, loss of being guided by true Christian values. and respecting the humanity of people with different politics, ethnicity, religions, countries of origin, etc.
I agree that democracy is in deep trouble, But Trump happened because both parties have spent most of their time raising money and gerrymandering state and federal elections so that the same out-of-touch ancient pols can stay in power as long as they want to. In the meantime, a dozen critical problems like health costs, sane immigration policies, stagnant wages and homelessness haven't been adequately addressed for half a century.
When both parties have roughly 20% approval ratings and dems are the least admired, "We support democracy" doesn't do it for me.
Thank you all three. Norm and Katie, what a wonderful service you give us in the Legal Fight Club. Rep. McIver, thank you for your bravery and for your eloquence in defense of democracy. I look forward to your pre-buttal to the SOU.
Thank you for this. What happened to the video of Coffee with the Contrarians today (Monday, Feb. 23rd)? I don't get to bed until 3:00 A.M. so I don't catch the live broadcast and depend on the video. If you could put that up I'd appreciate it.
That's not the only Monday thing missing. There is also the sports talk with Pablo Torre and several other videos of Jen interviewing various people. I have to think Jen is ill. Last week, she wiped her nose all too often, so she's probably come down with the flu.
I wonder if there is something about the weather and/or power going out that could have an impacted programs today. Not the only conversations that were MIA today.
It looks a lot more than shaky. Our democracy has been replaced with Fascism. Our country is on the brink. Americans are being shot on American streets. Thank you for standing up and saying NO!!!

How can we fight against the purchase of large warehouses to detain immigrants, including children?

Agree. It’s not like them to not tell us if they aren’t doing a regular feature…… live on west coast so always watch it later too.

Greatly appreciate each and everyone of you!
I think a good motivator is defiance against despair.
Such a superb discussion!
Hope, faith in each other and our Constitution, and persistence wins.

Thank ou!
