We send you into the weekend with two good and martinis and a crazy one! Join Jim and Greg as they cheer another jobs report that beats expectations. They also get a kick out of reports that no minds have changed in the House after the impeachment hearings, and while impeachment is still very likely, we’re still looking at a couple of Democrats voting against it and no Republicans voting for it. And a former Obama deputy solicitor general says if Trump is not removed by the Senate, Democrats should plan to impeach Trump again if he is re-elected.
