...when the news broke, and I realized that she is brighter than he is. Brighter and better prepared. Ha!

Frank Figluzzi was one of her guests, and one of his comments (before the news broke) really struck me. We all know Trump has spent two solid years defaming the DOJ and the intelligence services.

Trump's new trope is that the people "persecuting" him were never elected, so they have no right to go after him, and "his people" will never stand for it.

Figluzzi put his finger right on it: these are the words and ideas of the Sovereign Citizens. Just to make it perfectly clear to his listeners, Fig said that if a traffic cop pulls over a Sovereign Citizen, that guy is likely to shoot the cop. Because they don't recognize the authority of the cops because they are not elected. Sheriffs are elected. Etc.

Just let that sink in. Fig looked quite concerned.


Anyhow, skipped most of Chuck Todd because someone stopped by, and we don't care for him anyway. Ended up waiting for Rachel, who was outstanding. The guests for Nicolle, Rachel, and Brian Williams were also outstanding.

Oh -- Adam Schiff was on and in answer to a question outlined a comprehensive plan for what Congress can do if Trump and/or Barr decide to be uncooperative. He just reeled it all out, quite calmly. If this, then that, and that, and that. No stress, no mess. No handwringing. No anger. Just a man who knows his job quite thoroughly and is prepared to do it.

Periodically I would come back to DU, and it was a bit of an insane asylum. Good Lord 'n' butter. I wanted to throw my iPad across the room. Thank you for your post.
