The media goes from comatose to merely semi-comatose about the threat of a second Trump presidency.  Blue Gal writes to the HHS Secretary about her healthcare costs.  Another interesting analogy from Driftglass, this time about "TV mind."  Three people in the world (at least) say don't promote Liz Cheney to the helm.  More at proleftpod.com.

Ep 797: No Fair Remembering Sarah Palin

Trump has a longstanding history of grifting down-ballot Republicans.  Instead of supporting his so-called party, Trump is forever leveraging his status for personal profit.

But the intrigue doesn't end there. We also unpack the un-surprising transformations of "Never Trump" Republicans like Chris Sununu and Bill Barr, who have suddenly found Trump an acceptable candidate for president. 

And we look back at the long-standing pushy partnership between evangelicals and Republicans, discovering that it has always been transactional, even preceding the era of George W. Bush.

And Marge fails at impeachment.  Sad!
