Today, Jim and Greg toast three crazy martinis to our chaotic political landscape. They discuss the ridiculous theory Laurence Tribe is pushing, which states that Donald Trump's recent convictions means Hillary should have been the winner of the 2016 election; Hillary Clinton's embarrassing attempt to politicize D-Day; and the surprising party switch of Sen. Bob Menendez, which comes with an even bigger surprise behind it.
First, they delve into legendary Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe promulgating the idea that Donald Trump's felony convictions invalidate the results of the 2016 election, and his accompanying lament of all that could have been had Hillary Clinton ascended to the presidency instead. Jim gives Tribe credit for pushing the least plausible argument for doubting the results of the 2016 election, pointing out that, long before this recent conviction, voters were aware of Trump's long record of dubious moral behavior.
Next, they roll their eyes at Hillary Clinton's D-Day tweet, which compares those who vote to "save democracy" to the military heroes of 1944. They point out that voting in a free country is very obviously not the same as risking your life in battle, and they observe that Democrats only value democracy insofar as it gets them the election results they want.
Finally, they unpack New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez running as an independent, allegedly so that he can angle for a presidential pardon no matter who is president after the next election. Jim and Greg are a little dubious as to whether this plan will be successful.
