Money quote in above supplied by David French: “Carlson is advancing a form of victim-politics populism that takes a series of tectonic cultural changes—civil rights, women’s rights, a technological revolution as significant as the industrial revolution, the mass-scale loss of religious faith, the sexual revolution, etc.—and turns the negative or challenging aspects of those changes into an angry tale of what they are doing to you.”

You mean negative like the convergence of rural America and Detroit.

Carson does not get some of it right, but I am in agreement with him...that Dems and Repubs despite their different pronouncements are essentially the same.

Exactly. Listen closely, you will hear it all the time. Anything that runs afoul of traditional Anglo-Saxon heterosexual male dominated, Christian faith-based dogma is an attack on the nation as a whole. Unisex bathrooms? Part of the "Gay Agenda" to pervert our children and "destroy American values". Really? They get all of that out of a bathroom that has no urinals or "Men"/"Women" signage? Liberals have insisted that religion be kept in the home and church but out of public schools. To us this is a measure to ensure that the government will not establish a state religion, to them it is somehow a visceral threat of the opposite...…. How, I don't know but it is.

Or more attempts to elevate the dossier with such as the the implication of denial of contacts.
A very thin article.

Democrats Demand Mnuchin Hold Off on Easing Sanctions Tied to Deripaska

Donny’s “yes man”, the disturbingly corrupt Mnucus, appears to be doing Putin’s bidding. What possible justification for easing these sanctions, except Putin having some dirt on Donny?

And Mnuchin was Finance Chair of Trump's campaign. I suppose he has plenty of money-laundering experience.

"President Trump’s former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen has agreed to testify in a public hearing next month before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, panel Democrats announced Thursday.
Cohen agreed to the Feb. 7 appearance voluntarily, committee chairman Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) said in a statement.
“I want to make clear that we have no interest in inappropriately interfering with any ongoing criminal investigations, and to that end, we are in the process of consulting with special counsel Mueller’s office,” Cummings said, promising that the panel would announce more information about the hearing in the coming weeks." WP

Ought to be illuminating watch Cohen spill his guts on T'Rump on national TV.
