A Republic, If You Can Keep It

And the (pointless) Recounts Keep on Coming!

Jeff and Mark are traveling this week as we record the “pre-criminal-referrals” episode of the podcast.

Jeff is getting the better end of the deal! He’s in Nashville where leaders of the Lincoln Project are holding their post-midterm victory lap…beginning planning for 2024..and sampling the hospitality of America’s country music capitol.

Mark is coming up for air after still another long day of another recount. The futility of the partial recounts of Proposals 2 and 3 being highlighted by a Michigan state Supreme Court ruling, and a federal Appeals Court ruling in Colorado both burying the Big Lie and the attorneys promoting it.
