Welcome to The Now

You would think that, considering the way Donald Trump went after Barack Obama for a "long-form birth certificate" after Obama provided more proof then he should have, Trump would know the difference between a transcript and a memo .  Impeachment will not remove Trump from the White House, you'd need the (GOP-controlled) Senate for that. Once Trump realizes that impeachment won't force him out, he will go hard into "Witch Hunt" mode. That being said, the only benefit of the proceedings to to test Trump's ability to fight political battles on two fronts: the House Democrats looking to impeach and one front, and the Democratic nominee on the other.  This spectacle is yet another distraction for the Democrats, who still refuse to examine why/how they lost in 2016. This spectacle does not mean that the Bidens are innocent; a corrupted politician trying to get dirt on a corrupted politician in a corrupt manner does not exonerate the target.  Status Cou

Andrew Yang is being screwed in the debates by the corporate media . Andrew Yang's UBI proposal has flaws .  Just because someone has a questionable policy (and we're not talking about something that degrades another group like say, Jim Crow) doesn't not mean that the media should determine that they should filter that person out. 

Anyone on the Left who gives Carlson props just because he sometimes comes across as anti-war needs to understand that he's not an ally of the Left. It's not like dealing with a voter who's been fed Fox News misinformation; Carlson is someone who is never going to be advocating for progressive policies. Why would I say this about Carlson? He said that John Bolton was fired because Bolton was too progressive . Don't fall for his phony faux-populism; its a cover for his more nationalistic beliefs.
