Digby

Very happy to welcome back to our program Salon columnist Heather Digby Parton, who writes Digby's Hullabaloo blog.

And we've invited, uh, Heather to talk about a recent article she wrote at Salon titled The Dark Reasons Behind All the Richard Nixon Worship: MAGA Needs to Maintain its Grip on the GOP After Donald Trump and the 37th President is Key.

Welcome back to the program, Heather.

My pleasure

... which is linking the past with the present, with the Nixon and the Trump presidencies in this, uh, attempt at rehabilitation.

Um, say a word if you would about your column and how they can, um, uh, subscribe to Digby's Hullabaloo.

Absolutely.

I, uh, I write three times a week at Salon, uh, salon.com, and my blog is, is digbysblog.net, and we write seven days a week there.

But we'll be talking about the meaning of the word socialism, the controversy that the Republican Party and some moderate or right-wing Democrats are causing within the party about those descriptions and what it all means.

A little later tonight, we'll be joined by Heather Digby Parton, who writes Digby's Hullabaloo blog, and we'll be talking about her fascinating article titled The Dark Reasons Behind All the Richard Nixon Worship.

And she writes about how MAGA needs to maintain its grip on the GOP after Donald Trump and the 37th president leaves office.

So that's all coming up tonight.

This is CounterPoint.

Do stay tuned.

Right now, I'm very happy to welcome back to our program salon columnist Heather Digby Parton.

who writes Digby's Hullabaloo blog.

We are broadcasting live steps from the industrially ravaged Gowanus Canal in the heart of America, downtown Brooklyn, USA.

On the program today, Heather Digby Parton, columnist at Salon, publisher of the Hullabaloo blog.

And then, I don't think we're gonna do this in the fun half, but we'll probably do a Freebie Friday.

I don't know.

[laughs]

I would not put money down.

We're gonna obviously talk about this, uh, with Digby, but I think what we're starting to see is an emerging, o- one part of the Trump administration's strategy, particularly over the past couple of days, as to, you know, what they're gonna do to attempt to win the election.

There, I think there is probably a parallel strategy on what they're going to do to inhibit the votes, either after the fact or prior to the fact of the voting.

You know, something had to go wrong.

Digby? I'm here.

Can you hear me? I can hear you.

And the audio is working.

Oh, well.

You know, there are rewards for listening to the audio stream.

So, Heather Digby Parton is here, one of the originals, the OGs of the progressive blogosphere, who's been, you know, doing this beat for a long, long time and still going it at digbysblog.net and at salon.com. You know, we've been through a lot of... sort of eras on this interweb thing, haven't we?

We sure have.
