The Two-Party System Must be Abolished

The verdict for this episode is: our politics will not work until the two-party system is abolished. In this episode, I use the impeachment trial to demonstrate how the two-party system is broken beyond repair. https://media.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/content.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/abolish_parties.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 10:32 — 4.8MB) | Embedsubscribe to my podcast Apple Podcasts | TuneIn… Continue reading The Two-Party System Must be Abolished

Reviewing Matt Stoller’s Goliath

Matt Stoller’s Goliath is one of the most important political books I have ever read. For those wanting to learn more about the closeness between the Democratic and Republican parties on corporate power, Goliath is a must.

Democracy is Failing on Both Sides of the Atlantic

The verdict for this episode is: Western democracies don’t represent the will of the people. In this episode, I discuss how the results in the recent UK election and those in some recent American elections don’t reflect the votes cast by the people. https://media.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/content.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/Democracy.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 6:38 — 3.0MB) |… Continue reading Democracy is Failing on Both Sides of the Atlantic

Impeachment Update for November 23, 2019

With two weeks of public testimony that ripped holes in the foolish arguments being made by Trump and the Republican Party, it’s time to discuss where things stand.

Thoughts on the First Week of Impeachment Hearings

With the first week of public impeachment hearings in the books and three very credible witnesses having testified, it’s time for a few thoughts.

We Will See Trump’s Taxes

The idea that we will see Trump’s taxes is a prediction. The rest of this post will explain why I believe we will see Trump’s taxes relatively soon.

Reviewing All the President’s Men

With the House finally beginning an impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump, I decided to read Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein’s All the President’s Men. The book is about the Watergate scandal and coverup that resulted in Richard Nixon resigning and several members of his administration serving time.

Thoughts on Muller’s Testimony

I have been very critical of Robert Muller. I shared my thoughts on Muller’s report. Yesterday, I wrote questions I wanted to see Muller answer today. With as much as I have read about, listened to, and thought about Muller and his report, I would have never imagined his testimony going the way it did.

Looking Ahead to Muller’s Testimony

We are hours away from Robert Muller testifying before the House intelligence and judiciary committees. Even though Muller doesn’t want to testify, and he pledges to stay within the confines of his report, tomorrow’s testimony is critical.
