Lame Donald Duck – America’s brutal revenge on MAGA

At last, at last… After suffering two years of shame, cruelty and corruption, Americans render a devastating verdict on Trump, his war, his careless greed and the entire Republican establishment. An electoral wave of Biblical proportions sweeps away Trump stooges and raises up a new, diverse generation of progressive superstars. So what happens next? Will the Democrats have the guts to use their new power? And how will a humiliated Trump respond? Marquette University politics professor Julia Azari joins us to sift through the ruins of MAGA. Plus: Why Shabana Mahmood’s revised policy on Indefinite Leave to Remain is still a disgrace… Exodus at the Telegraph… and should Germany rebuild Hitler’s holiday home? • Questions for But Your Emails?
