I watched the Tucker and Buckley interview. Found it interesting. Here is what I don't understand from "Uncle Buck" and many more millions who agree with him.
He raised the issue of "no accountability" for Russiagate. Trump himself complains of this often. Federal prosecutors within DOJ sabotaged cases, making it so that the statute of limitations had expired. When indictments are brought, as against Comey, federal judges make up new rules. Trump is furious that there hasn't been accountability. Why blame Trump for this? Surely insiders like Buckley and Tucker understand how insiders can manipulate the system.
What is Trump supposed to do, given the constraints of his office? I've thought about this often, have talked to many smart lawyers about it. He doesn't have a lot of plays here.
Buckley also raises a lack of accountability for the J6 show trials. Trump free the oppressed. He dismissed pending cases. Men who were looking at 30 years in prison are out. Some of those dumb asses he pardoned went out and did more crimes. Which makes us all look like assholes. Trump took a huge risk, one I am grateful for.
Tucker covered the Douglas Mackey case. Biden tried to send an innocent man to prison for posting a meme and being effective against Democrats. How many more cases would have been filed against Tucker and others, had Trump lost in 2024?
I understand the Iran war objection, and the overall complaint that Trump is far too comfortable mocking Christ and Christianity. Christians should push back more aggressively. Buckley and Tucker talk of WASP values often. But those values are why were are in this predicament.
"Taking it with a stiff upper lip," breaks down when the rules of the game changed and you have to throw a tantrum to get results. I don't like this new cultural. And? This is politics. You win or you lose. Given the state of affairs today, losing means death by the Bolsheviks.
It was Biden who spied on Catholics and send grandmothers to prison to protesting abortion. These FACE Act cases were barely covered. I discussed them often.
If the choice is having someone who posts memes vs. someone who wants to throw Christians into prison, perhaps everyone should ask if maybe our brains have become digitized. What happens on a screen is not the same as real life.
The Truth social post may seem offensive to some, it was to me, but sitting in a prison cell isn't in the same universe. I'll take the infantile behavior over wrongful imprisonment. What serious person would not?
There are some other issues raised, Charlie Kirk being chief among them. My own views are more hardline than Buckley's or Tucker's. Charlie Kirk would be alive if far left wing political violence had been treated like the crisis that it was and is. Other than me and a few other people in 2015, who was talking about this? Almost no one. There is more than enough accountability to go around.
Voting for Trump in 2024, and 2016, and 2020, was the obvious choice.
What is the alternative? Democrat super majority? Turning the U.S. into LA and letting cities burn down (literally)? Illiterates driving 18 wheelers and smashing into our families? Jobs that my friend's dads had growing up being taken by the same people?
You think the Red Green Alliance won't line your families up like they did to Tsar Nicolas?
I am almost 50. Men in their 60's are responsible for the conditions we live in, as are men my age. We sat out too many elections. We don't do enough now to get out the vote.
Charlie understood that politics isn't a debate society. You need to discuss ideas, and win the narrative battles, obviously, but winning an argument doesn't mean all that much if people are unwilling or unable to use political power.
There's a lot to say about Trump, I've said plenty.
What is everyone doing to change electoral outcomes? That's the only question today that matters.
