Big miss: Saying "Defund the police" when saying AUDIT the police would be far more productive and far more threatening to them. Because there are too many cops in the USA, and they get far too much money.

Come on, guys. Trump doesn't know or care what the "job" of DNI entails. He chose Gabbard in order to have a backdoor channel to Putin. If she gets the job, the paramount task of every agency will be to investigate *her*. There are times when insubordination is the most patriotic thing a government employee could do. At the very least, I hope agents slow-roll her shadier directives. They're all smarter than her; surely they could find a way to put her in a box to minimize the damage she causes.

The wacky woke left meets the MAGAT right. AOC is certainly not part of the wacky woke left. Gary, that comment is a very strange move by a world champion chess master.

This was so good I listened twice. Good points about Trump voters being angry about political correctness, the "right" pronouns and the tendency among liberals to dismiss anyone who doesnt agree. Also a good point about anger over illegal immigration.

I'm 81, so I was in my 30s during the Reagan administration. I'm a solid Democrat, and I didn't like him. I believe he was too regressive. One thing I can't forgive him for is cutting funding for mental health care.

1) There's bipartisanship on this because they all know there's literally nothing behind the curtain here. When they start talking about it, you should start digging into things they're NOT talking about, starting with financial corruption. 2) The "controversy" is absurdly US-centric. There's a potential 7.5 billion people on this world who could be watching the skies who care nothing about what the American people or government know or think. In other words, we've not been visited by aliens.

My understanding is that pardons in Georgia are delegated to a panel, and are not administered until after the defendant serves his or her full term and five years afterward abides by a series of conditions required by the governing statute. Please clarify.
