To possibly save a few others from watching Carlson interview Trump, here is a review of the video I watched. Twice impeached shrugged off debating inferior Republicans, poll-wise and in abilities (he had to get in a dig at those with different abilities), before starting in on whining about networks that slight him, and moving on to promising a better government purge next time he’s in charge.
Tucker stirred things up when he said Jeffrey Epstein was killed and Barr lied about it. He didn’t even do the Fox Tucker where he was just asking. Don the con was wise to that angle said he didn’t know, he could go either way, but did sympathize with a rich person having suicidal thoughts in prison.
Before long, Carlson was asking if and when liberals will be trying to kill the ex, with law and order liberals labeled savage animals by the former resident who hides documents like no former president ever has. Former Document Hider in Chief took time to gloat over two impeachment acquittals without any questioning from assistant Carlson over documents or witnesses.
Then the Republican front runner really got going. The ex-res is sure, as always, about the need for more anti-immigrant hysteria. He thinks we need more wall building. Anything short of that is open borders for criminals and terrorists says the fearful grifter.
The lies piled up thick and heavy when they got to talking about the election and the right’s right to pressure election officials. Fearful leader says he sees massive fraud where others don’t look. Insurrectionists storming the capitol was just a few over-eager adherents.
Let’s hear the instigator under oath, along with evidence and testimony from others. Whether he takes the stand or not, American courts will be deciding.
Why not let all of us see documents and testimony from time in office, former one? Why not make administration records public? Commit to a library. You don’t have to do it all on your own, like the Obama Presidential Center. It doesn’t even have to be fancy, though it can be as as fancy and golden as you wish. Whatever setting you desire, there is plenty of interest in housing your unclassified records in a publicly accessible library.
By the end of the interview, Carlson asked if civil war is imminent. Bone spurs once again instigated after first throwing up a fig leaf of ignorance. He doesn’t know, but he does know there is a lot of love and hatred out there. He spoke of the love among his acolytes and fans. In an interview where opponents were labelled savage animals, the insurrection organizer talked about his loyalists feeling hatred over all of the rough treatment their special guy received. He doesn’t know if there will be civil war, but he understands his followers’ hatred of non-believers.
I want to ask when will Republicans have a come to democracy moment, but it’s uncertain they will. This is as good as time as any to act as if representing people and the nation matters. I am not sure when it might happen. We have to keep standing for democracy and equitable government for as long as it takes.
Five years ago, I posted Republicans cannot govern honorably. Can they yet? Is there a pragmatic deal maker possible with Governor Burgum or anybody else? Mike Pence might be as moderate as we can hope for.
I’m cynical yet determined. Republicans have been scheming on America since at least Reagan’s napkin weak trickle down con. When will they compete honestly in a democratic republic? Before or after civil war?
