Every time. Brilliant. The reading of the article from a decade ago in critique of Trump’s sanity was, tragically, genius.
I have listened to Keith’s book since it was released (years ago). His whole take on all things Orange, it’s still relevant because nothing has improved. I find it soothing in making me think I’m not crazed. Trump and Co. is a disaster. Again. 🙏🏻🕊️💙
9/29 . The show was wonderful, of course. But the part that got inside me to the heart strings was Stevie. Lordy Olbermann, all the things. Wonderful, wonderful. Thank you.
Keith is the best
Used to work for this guy. He’s brilliant. Haven’t missed an episode. He’s the voice the Democrats desperately need. A trouble maker. A truth teller. Maybe even drop a few well placed “F” bombs to get the attention of the Trump troglodytes. Bravo Kieth. Bravo.
