This is another of a virtually uncountable number of instances of attempting an end-run around the Constitution. I hope someone that is running in 2026, new or old, is keeping score. If subverting the Constitution doesn't rise to "high crimes and misdemeanors" I'm not sure what does anymore.

Not quite the same thing... I don't mean in cases where someone is confidently incorrect. More like the scenario of "I'm not the subject matter expert here, but why are they still arguing about what the problem is?"

This was a rollercoaster of a segment. I heartfelt thank you to an executive producer that prided himself on producing an accurate show. Acknowledging that (at least perceived) corporate pressure led to his resignation... and then the cherry on top: the segment sponsor is United Healthcare!?

Is there a term for the opposite of imposter syndrome? Where you have the feeling that you are the only one who actually knows what they're doing?

Unfortunately, if the US political spectrum is from -1000 to 1000 (negative numbers being liberal... just because its the left side), the Republican party is at 750-1000, leaving everyone else trying to work together with remaining 7/8ths of ideologies... and it just doesn't work.
