No one tells it like you do. We will miss your analysis and the opportunity to hear your brilliant commentary on a
regular basis.

Kieth is out of his mind if he thinks this is over. Nothing is over until the president is gone, the vice president is gone, and the speaker is gone. And when they're all gone, we'll keep resisting until we win.

Kieth's videos were fine, but the real resistance is everywhere and it ends when injustice ends.

I had forgotten that there was 13 months between John Dean's bombshell testimony and Nixon's resignation. I think we're about to have some bombshells with Flynn. The end better happen more quickly this time.

Near-normal in the future, with a weird tRUMPIAN barely understandable... footnote. tRUMP is toast, and maybe mike too.

about his seven "inevitable" outcomes where Trump is removed from office. What he sees as "inevitable", I see as conjecture on his part. Yes, there are seven outcomes that - in ordinary times - would be enough to remove a sitting President from office. These are not ordinary times. These are the years of Trump, Bannon, and a Republican majority in Congress. These are the worst of times.
Still, I'm sad to see Olbermann go. His extreme dislike of Trump, and his angry diatribes are something I seem to need, from time to time. Even if Trump is forced out, there's still much more to be done to make this country TRULY great again. It's all an uphill battle, and it looks as if Olbermann is heading toward the rear with the gear. He will be missed.

will never resign. But I think Keith has said his piece and I am good with that. The rest is up to us and now it's time to be ultra-mobilized until we purge our government of this faction bent on the destruction of our nation.

I grew up with him and Dan Patrick on Sportscenter - Keith will always be that kooky 90s sports guy with the porn stache.

His political shows have been a mixed bag for me over the years. I really liked him during the Bush years. But somewhere along the way Keith mentioned to the masses that he doesn't vote in elections. From that point on I stopped giving a shit about what he says. Don't get me wrong he is a great writer and orator, I just can't respect someone like him who is outspoken about the political world - yet he doesnt vote?!? WTF is that about? This whole GQ gig seemed like a money grab to me. I hope he finds a MLB job in the future. His baseball mind is equal to Costas and Scully.
