On this new episode of THE POLITICRAT daily podcast Omar Moore on the presidential election being held today in Honduras. Also: Trump pardons Juan Orlando Hernandez, a convicted ex-president of Honduras--and hypocrisy abounds. Plus: Republicans continue to flee Trump's Titanic. And: When will reporters stand up to a liar in the White House? Additionally: "Eyes Wide Shut" has no relationship at all to Jeffrey Epstein and elites he had close relationships with. So why are some writers continuing to mention the child rapist when they talk about Stanley Kubrick's 1999 film, which is currently enjoying new-found popularity?
