Paper Tigers Don’t Bite

Watching the January 6th hearings, we’ve all been convinced that Trump was culpable and was trying to get his enemies killed. He’ll say other things, of course, but nobody who sits there and does nothing while the threat of violence is imminent having already been informed about the situation and having the power to do something simply stands by. As we often say on this podcast: doing nothing is still doing something. And Donald J. Trump did a very large something with his inaction that day. Finally enough evidence has been uncovered to convince all members of the 1/6 committee that it’s worthwhile to subpoena him.

But if you’re like me, and are patiently awaiting the day when Donald J. Trump actually pays for his crimes, be aware that you’ll likely be waiting. We’re seeing a lot of hedging from the 1/6 committee to the point that we’re not convinced that they will even go far enough to hold him in contempt. That’s part 1 of our podcast episode, and the motivation for the title.

The second part is all about term limits. Do they work or just make corporate influence cheaper? We talk through the pros and cons of it and actually one of our members is convinced enough during the course to change their mind. Listen to find out who, and what the decision ultimately became!
