As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor.

I wish Rachel was a bit less repetitive. Many times when I happen to hear her, I find myself thinking, “We get it already.”
Thank you for support Hunter’s pardon

I am so sick of democrats yelling outrage for acts that pale in the face of republican acts. We need to stop ignoring republican outrageous acts and stop throwing fits at democrats for less concerning behaviors. President Biden didn’t have a choice but protect his son from republican bullying when their power increases. Republicans, including Trump, have said they will bully their “enemies”. Believe them.
Keep up the great reporting that you and your team do. Thank you!

It was in the fall of 2016 that my brother-in-law and I were having a discussion about Trump. Him for, me against. He said I suppose you listen to Rachel Maddow. I have watched ever since ❤️. He is a fox and friend’s entertainment watcher. I have also enjoyed your Deja News and both Ultra podcasts. Thanks again for the in-depth reporting.
Thank you!
