Individual One: The New Name of the GOP
Summary
<p>It's another wild week in the United States of America, where any child can grow up to be Individual One! Actually, that's not true, you have to <em>choose</em> a life of crime and complicity, and this week's Gaslit Nation discusses what's new for the indicted (Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort), the people who failed to stop them (James Comey), the accomplices (John Kelly, Nick Ayers), and the new guy who will likely let everyone walk, Iran-Contra style (William Barr). Sarah and Andrea discuss how extreme wealth and corruption of the justice system have created a stratified class that can in a sense do no wrong -- because no one will punish them for the wrong they've done! We also weigh in on the crisis in France, the role of social media in political protest, and the ongoing fallout from the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. </p>
