Gordon Sondland Tells His Story

In places like New York and San Francisco this will matter. In places like Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Alabama it won’t matter.

Such is the state of our Union and the New Confederacy.

The Fox zombies will roll their eyes in reference to Sondland’s testimony. Union members where math, science, and some semblance of history still matters will regard this as a historical moment we’ll never forget.

I don’t think so.

Because I honestly believe at this point Donald Trump could rape daughter Ivanka and slit her throat on a live Hannity telecast and Trump supporters would maintain it was Obama wearing a Trump disguise. Roger Ailes of Fox founding fame must be proud looking down from Fox heaven at what he created.’

What Ailes created in 1996 is a cable news network which exhibits little shame in pandering horseshit nonsense which a certain segment of white Americans accept as the truth.

So do I think this was that moment in Watergate where the lapse on Rosemary Woods’ tapes did Richard Nixon in?

I do not because from then to now the percentage of Americans who trust their government has dwindled from 71% to 17%. Who do I cite for this stat? Jon Meacham.

Let me give you another prescient stat from a somewhat obscure historian from Norman, Oklahoma named Roger Bishop.

He shared this thought with me this past Sunday over lunch in the heart of Trump Country…. in Seminole, Oklahoma.

What Professor Bishop said to me was this, ” Mike, in all reality—we should have just pretended we lost the Civil War in the 1860’s and perhaps if these dumbasses thought they were the victors it might have turned out differently for the country as a whole.”

So in reality — depending if you live in the Union or in the New Confederacy you probably have a much different take on Sondland’s testimony at the Trump impeachment hearings.
