Past is prologue.

In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com thank you. Tonight’s show was great. Your explanation of what transpired in the past 24 hours with the behind the scenes workings of the Senate is on point. I wouldn’t want Schumer job as it is like herding cats. Wrangling people like a strongman is what Trump does.
