We've got a guy in the White House who is behaving like John Gotti- the mobster who had the same lawyer as Trump. But to distract from Trump's obviously impeachable crimes, how will the right wing hammer Biden for his son's lucrative gig in the Ukraine?

Is this the face of the rise of oligarchy across the world, as fake populist billionaire right-wing leaders take political power based on media propaganda and dirty tricks?

From the extortion of a foreign leader to helptake down Trump's rival to implying the whistleblower should be killed, Thom brilliantly steps through the who-what-when-where of this situation. And does all of this make Biden look bad to the benefit of Warren?

And what is up with the Cloudstrike hack of the DNC server and the right wing propaganda built around that story? Did Trump's conspirators hide the evidence on Trump's very own secret server? And will Bill Barr and others join the Trumpers who are already in federal prison for Trump's crimes?
