Confirmation hearings are a joke. Trump wants to revisit 2020

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSome political stories make you shake your head. Others make you wonder if anyone in Washington is even pretending anymore.This week, I take on confirmation hearings that increasingly feel like political theater, where everyone already knows how the vote will end before the first question is even asked. At what point does the performance become more important than the process?Then there’s a White House leak investigation that reportedly reached the point where officials were asked to hand over their phones. That’s not just another Washington story. It’s a window into what happens when panic starts competing with trust.And just when you think the country might finally move on, Trump pulls the conversation right back to 2020. While the next election gets closer, he’s still trying to relitigate the last one.Maybe none of these stories surprise you anymore. Maybe that’s the biggest story of all. If confirmation hearings have become a formality, if panic is replacing trust behind closed doors, and if Washington keeps relitigating yesterday instead of dealing with tomorrow, then we’ve lowered the bar far more than we realize.If you’ve enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I’m not backed by Corporate media.
