I have read the book. Not only that, i highlighted it. [laughter] i made notes. Come on. Thats a phenomenon with the movie but people talk about books without reading them. Sometimes when they are promoting the movie im working off your page. I feel i could do better than Rachel Maddow right now the goal is to go even deeper than she did. That congratulations on the book and these ideas of what is happening that we wonder about how did this happen . How destructive is it and will it ever get better. But a question of how you got into journalism i got a sense that you were a journalism nerd the way i was a comedy nerd as a kid.

Of course, trump continues to claim credit for Economic Growth that was put in motion by the policies of p
Then i have the article 2 where i have the right to do whatever i want as president. That is as wrong as when president nixon said a similar thing. Thats not what the constitution provides. Thats not what the country demands. He does not have the right to do whatever he wants. Turning to the second abuse of power, uninformed powers. The American People suffered that foreign influence when President Trump treated military aid that had been approved taxpayer dollars and decided to treat it as his own checkbook to try to further his own reelection chances. That is what the founders were concerned about. The framers nucor rupt leaders concentrate their powers is to manipulate elections and undercut adversaries. Thats why they thought it was a critical abuse and that could support and lead to impeachment let me show another clip on the campaign trail. Russia, if youre listening i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by ou
