Impeachment is a complicated process. A lot of us are asking why isn't Donald Trump being impeached right now. But more knowledge about the history of impeachment and why impeachment is an essential function of our constitution could help us find a way to channel our drive to impeach Donald Trump into actually doing it.
Professor Cass Sunstein joined Thom to discuss Impeachment: A Citizen’s Guide.
Impeachment is part of the constitution and is seen as an essential section to protect the people. The Founding Fathers meant that impeachment should be used for violation of a President’s misuse of authority. Presidential misdemeanours can be impeached, as well as crimes.
A grave offense by the president would allow for the impeachment process. Has there been a obstruction of justice by the president? The second volume of the Mueller Report indicates that an inquiry should be instigated into Donald Trump’s presidency and impeachment considered.
George DiCaprio stopped by and he and Thom talked about Timothy Leary.
Tim Leary was the American clinical psychologist was known for exploring psychedelic drugs under controlled conditions and believed LSD showed potential for therapeutic use in psychiatry. George DiCaprio, father of Leonardo DiCaprio, knew Timothy Leary well and told some great stories about Leary.
Trump's comments on women are so crude it sounds like the President is taking a card from the world of right wing hate radio.
It looks like the president and many of his supporters think women have only one purpose.
What does Donald Trump's misogyny mean for our country?
And how can we stop men from treating women like this, especially men that make laws about women's bodies?
If Donald Trump's economy crashes the United States of America could slide toward the hard right or the FDR Left.
Does the refugee crisis on the southern border meets the definition of a mass atrocity, where a government is intentionally inflicting harsh conditions and pain on a population for political purposes? Mass atrocities vary in scale. But could the child prisons exist as concentration camps? What is the United Nations going to do to stop these mass atrocities?
Who are you supporting in the 2020 Democratic Primaries? Did the first democratic presidential debate change your mind about your favorite candidates, introduce you to new candidates or something else?
Our economy might be completely screwed. Thankfully Professor Steve Keen is here to tell us exactly how and what we can expect from Trump's economy crashing down around us.
The economic climate in the US is getting weaker. How will economics affect you? The debt in the economy means that housing prices will weaken. More Americans will be out of work unless people prepare. Quantitative easing and government borrowing affect the stock market and are unwittingly stimulating the economy in a dangerous way.

Would the upper class actually be anti-war if the draft was reinstated?
Right now the military is comprised of all volunteers, some of whom join for economic reasons, but what if the middle class and the upper class had a big stake in what America was doing overseas?
Would the upper class become antiwar if it affected them personally?
The Iran deal is officially over. Depsite US sanctions on Iran, the country is preparing to enrich uranium in quantities that would break the 2015 Iran Peace Deal.
What does the end of the Iran Peace Deal mean for sanctions on Iran, the enrichment of Uranium or US/Iran relations?
Donald Trump had already taken the US out of the Iran nuclear deal.
Why have the Iranians broken the agreement on the use and production of enriched uranium? Iran has advised the world that they were close to exceeding the limit, which seems to be both honest and expected under the deal.
Has the Republican Party become a faction of the billionaires, the reactionary rural poor with racial anxieties and Christian fundamentalists?
Nixon started it with the Southern Strategy and Reagan brought in the billionaires, but even the Southern Strategy wasn't enough to win elections.
Instead, the Republican Party went to gerrymandering, crosscheck and changing the outcomes of elections. Is the Republican Party officially the party of the morbidly rich even at the price of democracy?
For certain the democratic party is not absent of their morbidly rich and reactionary! Both parties have these and other maladies in common, one just pretends not to! While they debate and wrangle, I find it just reasonable to look 'both' ways when crossing the street of politics!
Who looks only one way?! Only those who are TOLD to do so.
“Foxes and wolves usually are of the same breed. They belong to the same family—I think it’s called canine. And the difference is that the wolf when he shows you his teeth, you know that he’s your enemy; and the fox, when he shows you his teeth, he appears to be smiling. But no matter which of them you go with, you end up in the dog house.” Malcolm X

The Mueller Report and the section on softening the language between the US and Russia.
Thom reads from page 126.
Will Medicare Supplements programs change?
Republicans drilled holes into Medicare, and now private insurance companies are taking advantage to take away your coverage.
Alex Lawson from Social Security Works joined Thom.
Newt Gingrich emailed Republicans around the country telling them that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to destroy America.
This is after AOC exposed the Republicans fault in the migrant crisis.
How is Trump's base going to respond to her after hearing this?
Is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in danger after Newt Gingrich sent emails demeaning her and telling Republicans that she is "cruel" "dishonest" and wants to "destroy America?"
Could Trump replace liberal democracy with autocracy?
It looks like we might be on the road to that as the Trump administration becomes increasing autocratic.
Why does Donald Trump still have support among his demographic base?
No matter what the president does, Republicans and the presidents democratic base is still supporting him and what does that say about America?
Is this economic anxiety or is this something else?
Fox News asked why aren't Americans proud to be Americans anymore and the responses are stunning.
Is it Donald Trump?
The treatment of people at our southern border?
Are you still proud to be an American or has Donald Trump made you feel less proud?
Are Trump supporters proud of the way migrants and refugees are being treated by the Trump administration?
More from the Mueller Report, this time on Paul Manifort and polling data.
Thom reads from page 129

Did we learn anything from the Chernobyl nuclear power disaster?
Two nuclear power reactors being towed on a barge to a destination in the Arctic Ocean. If they break away from the towing craft, can you imagine what would happen?
Why have we only just heard about this nuclear power accident waiting to happen?
Paul Gunter from Beyond Nuclear talks with Thom Hartmann about the consequences of an a nuclear accident at sea, the affects of nuclear materials on our wildlife and on ourselves and our planet.
You couldn’t make this stuff up – could you?
