It's the corruption! Heather Cox Richardson's June 11 Politics Chat is a must see!

I don't say that lightly.

I get so tired of over-hyped pods. I avoid calling something a "must see" unless it strikes me as seriously important.

I think most folks here realize Heather Cox Richardson always has important insights, but today's dives into the 1920's and draws parallels to today. This one hits themes that strike me as absolutely vital to "get." If you can, take time to listen to in it's entirety ASAP.

There is a shift. The corruption is looming larger for Americans. The Republican project is failing in crucial ways that have echoes in our history.

Among other important insights and questions, she poses the question of WTF did the felon mean about our takeover Venezuelan oil? (And how we should do the same in Iran). He is referencing a murky deal few seem to be examining closely.
