How are you? Thanks for posting this (and other videos). As I don't watch TV, this is quite helpful. The anger throughout the US on both sides of the political spectrum is palpable. The GOP congressmen only have talking points when answering questions. Sadly, white privilegists who voted for President Planecrash solely to get a white man in the White House realize they are on the same economic side as us, but it's too late.
The Dotard's election is just yet another catastrophe to befell the American people: 1918 Spanish Flu, Pearl Harbor, Operation Wetback, JFK/MLK/RFK, 9/11, "the Forever Wars," and now America's Godzilla who has handed the US (and possibly Ukraine) over to the Kremlin.
I think I started this meme of calling the Dotard "America's Godzilla" as I saw a writer for HuffPost or somewhere use that term for him after my OP. Maybe he/she reads DU.
Thanks again.
And I do know that a lot of DUers don't watch or have TV these days, so I share the best of what's uploaded, like Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace. And I know that many DUers don't stay up as late as I do (I used to work nights with the commercial networks) so I also post the late night guys who cover news, but with humor, since we sure need it, especially now.
And I agree that what's happening now is one of the most serious tragedies in our history - and it isn't just a tragedy that we can look to come back from, but an ongoing government dissolution that's getting worse that won't be over anytime soon. Godzilla is the perfect icon since that's what we're seeing right in front of our eyes, destruction of our democracy, our oath to the Constitution and to the rule of law. And it's also frightening for those of us who are paying attention - and will eventually be a wake up call for those who will experience the long-time safety nets stripped away. 
Keep up the great work!
