Forget mere impeachment, let's talk treason! Punishable by execution!

That's where longshot GOP presidential challenger Bill Weld found himself on Morning Joe this morning, and it's more or less where we start this week's Editors Roundtable edition of the Reason Podcast, which features Nick Gillespie, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Peter Suderman, and Matt Welch. Have we learned nothing from the past two-plus years? Is the tension between legislative-branch duty and political needs resolvable? Are either President Donald Trump or Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden even capable of not acting like jackasses, and is asking the question that way part of the problem? These are among the questions.

Also discussed: The super-terrible national rent control proposal from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.), the lengths Mitt Romney went to as presidential candidate to never propose cutting any piece of government, and what reading 1990s issues of Seventeen can tell you about "sluts." Don't say you haven't been warned.
