Publisher’s Note: On this “historic day,” when POTUS DJT becomes the “third ever sitting president to be impeached by the House of Representatives,” most casual observers will no doubt miss this story on the US Inspector General’s #Russiagate report. Watching Rolling Stone investigative journalist Matt Taibbi and Nation investigative journalist Aaron Mate bewilderingly break down the details is worth the price of admission. And here is a useful summary of the gift the House Democrats have just handed to POTUS DJT with #UkraineGate (#RussiaGate, Part 2) entitled “How The Deep State Sunk The Democratic Party.” The only person standing between DJT’s 2020 election victory is Vermont’s own Bernie Sanders, a progressive pit bull from our Green Mountains who is tirelessly advancing a policy program of democratic socialism which, like it or not, offers a genuine alternative to Mr. Trump’s faux populism. Will mainstream Dems unite behind Sanders? Don’t hold your breath. Free Vermont, and long live the Untied States!
