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.

Reviewing The Impeachers

Brenda Wineapple’s The Impeachers covers the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. Given the current impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump, The impeachers is an important read. The reality that many don’t understand the Johnson impeachment, makes The Impeachers even more important.

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.
