SHOW NOTES

TALKIN’ POLITICS

1. True or False: Political fatigue will be more important than Biden’s age for election
   1. Special Counsel’s report - a 330 page book written to conclude that Biden did nothing wrong regarding documents (see Mara Lago case where Trump is INDICTED…) that was written as a right wing reply to the Mueller report 
   2. Report includes references to paint Biden as a doddering old man who means well but isn’t with it in the head 
   3. But does it matter? 
2. Yeah Yeah!
   1. Missourians for Constitutional Freedom have managed to clear the playing field thanks to the STRONG initial support from Missourians
      1. Events across the state
      2. HUGE turnout, pics showing crowds showing up on a week night with short lead time
   2. More conservative Republican petition now being withdrawn
      1. https://missouriindependent.com/2024/02/08/initiative-petition-abortion-rights-rape-incest-missouri/
3. Yeah Yeah! (Again)
   1. Climate scientist wins $1million in defamation suit
      1. https://www.axios.com/2024/02/09/climate-scientist-michael-mann-defamation-lawsuit-win
      2. From Article: Leading climate scientist Michael Mann was awarded $1 million in damages after winning his defamation lawsuit against two conservative writers over their response to his pivotal work on global warming.
4. 2024 Election Era - GOP Trifurcation Edition
   1. Past week saw GOP lose an impeachment vote, Trump loses on the immunity case, RNC chair “stepping down”; GOP shuts down a border deal to shut down the border
   2. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/the-dangers-of-disarray
   3. https://www.semafor.com/article/02/08/2024/as-republicans-stumble-democrats-look-to-make-2024-a-referendum-on-chaos
   4. MAGA Mike is weak https://newrepublic.com/post/178818/mike-johnson-pathetic-viral-reaction-day-losing-impeachment
   5. McDaniel OUT: https://www.semafor.com/article/02/06/2024/reports-ronna-mcdaniel-to-step-down-as-rnc-chair
   6. SCOTUS likely to overturn the Colorado ruling but most legal folks I’ve talked with seem to agree that they are UNLIKELY to even grant Cert for the immunity case - so while they will allow Trump to remain on ballots they will also allow for his criminal prosecution
