The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Coup and Counter-Coup!

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

I can't believe I had to crash my own podcast today to blunt the slow-rolling coup that Lucretia and John Yoo started last week in my absence, but by the miracle of the internet I did just that, dropping in for a few minutes between drams of whisky and dishes of haggis. We kick around the Joe Manchin news, whether the White House will invent a new term for economic distress—"recessionyx" (seriously, who could doubt it)—and whether the J-6 committee is leading inexorably toward a Justice Department indictment of Donald Trump—and thus a further step toward making America a banana republic.

    Terrific podcast! Any possibility of a threesome? It was 48 years ago next month that I and another LSU summer abroad in England participant—around the same age as Steve’s daughter—visited the Isle of Skye, hiking up a rather steep mound and then lunching on fresh bread and cheese and drinking red wine among the ruins of what looked to have been a Medieval castle. It felt like—and we pretty much were—on top of the world. That stay still ranks as my favorite memory among many many unforgettable memories of my once and only time in the UK.

    Trump did not want to "overturn" the election, and neither did any of his supporters. To want to "overturn" the election would be to concede that Biden won, which he did not. Trump supporters wanted to stop the stealing of the election.
