Donnie Deutsch, MSNBC Impeachment Rebranding

Advertising executive Donnie Deutsch appeared on MSNBC to suggest that Democrats should "rebrand" impeachment as "Trump criminal investigations." Deutsch argued that the word impeachment makes Democrats look like sore losers and that branding the President as a criminal is a more effective marketing strategy. The hosts mock the idea as a transparent advertising gimmick that ignores the actual legislative process.

Indianapolis Explosion Investigation, Drone Strike Theory and Pilot Morale

The investigation into a massive neighborhood explosion in Indianapolis is upgraded to a criminal homicide probe.

They also discuss the low pay and poor working conditions for military drone pilots, suggesting it could lead to rogue actions.
