14. The "Problem" is insufferable "Bothsides-ism"
Mon Jul 7, 2025, 08:47 AM
Jul 2025

It was entertaining with Mark Shields and Babbling Brooks, but the threats of Federal defunding from congressional Cons resulted in the likes of guests like Peter Navarro, Russian-born Boris Epshtein, and really anyone else who spouted the repetitive Republican rhetoric. Spent way too much shouting at my TeeVee..

BTW, why does MSNBC’s Ari Melber call Epshtein, Epstein? And how does a fool like Navarro land himself in jail and a real con like Epshtein stay out of jail? Doe the mere threat of a pardon keep him from being charged?

Guess I answered my own question.
