“From a legal perspective, this is completely unprecedented. The danger of this is once they have done this, if the Republicans are ever allowed to get back into power, they would only end up doing the same thing to the Democrats. . . . It’s striking a real deathblow to the very idea of a democracy. We are not, at least we were not until today, someplace like Guatemala where you throw the opposition in jail, kill them or whatever you do. This is what’s going on. They are so afraid of Trump running in 2024 that this is just over the top. Once they did this, there is no end.”

Great interview, Martin, but I think you need to say ‘unprecedented’ one more time. It’s the most overused word of the decade!
Someone buy this man a thesaurus.
Your comment above is unprecedented on Market Sanity ;-)
Good one Mr. James……..and I bet that no one ever made a comment like mine before, either!
I could only sit through the first five minutes or so of this interview as it was starting to get really tedious with the “unprecedenteds”. And, knowing Mr. Armstrong’s vocabulary, he was probably going to follow up with a dozen or so uses of the word ‘absurd’. Now don’t get me wrong. In general I find his blog informative at times and read it regularly, but he really needs to work on his interview skills!
Remember the pre-internet days? Before the time when every dimwit with a microphone and a camera was vying for their fifteen minutes of fame? It seems to me that people back then had a lot more substantive things to say than most do today. Just one old guy’s opinion.
