War & Crime with Craig Symonds
Episode 323
James and Al castigate Trump for his attempt to militarize the Capitol, and call out his false claims about crime, and discuss how Democrats can make it a winning issue when the numbers are in their favor. Then, they look ahead to upcoming elections before welcoming military historian Craig Symonds. In the wake of Al’s trip to Normandy, Craig and Al celebrate V-J Day, review the strategy that won the war, weigh the pros and cons of using the atomic bomb, explaining the difference between conventional and nuclear conflict, and call out the danger Trump poses to military education.

I don't think he has anything in mind for the next election. He plans to take over our country in the very near future and become king, with ICE as his army. He's replaced anybody that could have advised him againt it. Probably why they were replaced. It needs to stop now. I wouldn't want to be a congressman. I think they have targets on their backs. And anyone else who would stand in his way. I'm terrified for our future.
Do you think DC is test run for deploying ICE (or whomever) to all blue polling places at election time? He has to be thinking how he will steal midterm and run & win for prez again? Lee Liberman, Brooklyn, llee127@icloud.com
p.s. There are too many issues to complain about. We need an umbrella message to which they all apply: THE CRUELTY ADMINISTRATION. Each speaker can start with that headline and then address particulars of own constituents. Use the headline on billboards; news headlines, planes carrying streamers, etc.
