65. I respectfully disagree about Hartmann...

I've been a fan of Hartmann since early 2000s. Yes, he had a brief contract to use the RT studio for his program for a while when he relocated to DC, but he realized his mistake soon after, and returned to Portland, OR. Can't a guy make an honest mistake once in a while without being trashed for it years later?

His discussions are steeped in American history, with which no Trumper or Repub can hope to argue and win. His command of the constitution is phenomenal and he can counter any repubs misuse or misquote of the bible in a flash.

I'm really glad he's on our side. I live out in the sticks with slow internet so I only get to listen on my car radio when I drive into the city. He's one of the best we've got. You really aught to give him another chance. Thanx.

Blessings, KR
