John Lewis, Masks, Federal Executions, Trump Campaign Shakeup

Ralph Waldo Emerson said that “Society is a masked ball, where every one hides his real character, and reveals it by hiding."  Mike and Jay talk about masks, character, and who's hiding what in the Georgia- Atlanta spat, CDC guidance, and Trump's approach to facial coverings. Then the first federal execution in 17 years opens up a discussion about the death penalty, if and how it should be applied, and who should decide those questions.  And Trump once again proves himself to the George Steinbrenner of politics by replacing another campaign manager.  Does this signal a change in direction, or just Trump being Trump? *Mike’s Weekly Recommendation* Andrew Sullivan’s Final NY Magazine Column ( https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/07/andrew-sullivan-see-you-next-friday.html ) The Weekly Dish ( https://andrewsullivan.substack.com/subscribe ) *Be part of the discussion* on the Politics Guys ‘ BipartisanPolitics ( https://www.reddit.com/r/BipartisanPolitics/ ) ’ community on Reddit. *Listener support helps make The Politics Guys possible*.
