Vaya Con Muñoz 12.26.20
This week our engineer, Nathaniel Waring, fills in for Natalia and is joined by Matt Szafranski and Danny Torres for a special ‘Bros of Vaya’ episode. We discuss Trump’s flurry of pardons and what they have in common, and how his usage of the presidential power undermines the office; the myriad of crimes the Trump himself is guilty of, and whether he can pardon himself; the future of the republican party and how we as a country get back to some assemblance of a normal democracy; and the recent vote by the Springfield city council to elect their incoming city council president for 2021, and how the proceedings to do so were fraught with controversy and confusion.
