Asking obvious questions is forbidden

It’s possible that asking questions is a patriotic duty of Americans.

Tucker questions the Biden administration’s claims to have not been involved in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline after they both said they were going to do it and celebrated it. Highlights include:

“There are few things more infuriating than being lied to by your own government, the government you pay for, the one your ancestors risked their lives to protect. Has that happened to you? Of course it has, it enrages you.”

“But if it happens again and again, if it happens often enough, if your government makes a habit of lying to you, then over time it becomes something else. Over time, you realize you’re not really living in a democracy. You can’t be, because in a democracy, the government has a moral and legal obligation to tell you the truth always. Period.”

“And that makes sense, because in a democracy, you are not a subject or a mere consumer. You’re a citizen. You are a shareholder in the system, you are an owner of it. The people who run your government are your employees.”

“If the White House says so, obviously we have no choice but to believe it, but you still have to wonder, not everyone does believe that. Why? Where might some Americans have gotten the notion that the Biden administration might have been involved directly though a proxy in the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline? Why would they think that?”

“They certainly didn’t watch it on Russia today; RT has been pulled off the air. They didn’t hear it from Putin or any of his ministers, you can barely find anything from the Russian government on google. And, of course, any book sympathetic to Putin has been banned on Amazon. In fact, every piece of information that reflects the modern Russian point of view has been censored in the United States, because this is a free country, fighting for democracy. You just can’t read what you want or think what you want.”

“So, actually, if you think about it, if Americans are deluded about what happened in the Nord Stream pipeline, the delusion didn’t come from Moscow, because there’s no way for Moscow to get its disinformation to the United States.”

Biden: “We will bring an end to [the Nord Stream 2].”

“That’s about as clear as it gets. Biden doesn’t say we will shut it down, he will say [sic] there will be no Nord Stream pipeline, we will put an end to it. And the reporter says, wait a second, it’s not your pipeline, how will you be able to do that? So he has a chance to re-frame the question, to revise his answer, to be more precise, but he doesn’t. He says flat out, ‘I promise you, we’ll be able to take out Nord Stream.’ Joe Biden, president of the United States, so there’s that clue.”

“As if that wasn’t enough, last week, last Friday the Secretary of State in the Biden administration, Mr. Tony Blinken, bragged about how great the sabotage of Nord Stream was. ‘It’s a tremendous opportunity … to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy and thus take away from Vladimir Putin the weaponization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs.'”

“Ohh, but no, says the White House, despite the fact that we promised we would do it and then we crowed about how great it was after it happened, we had nothing at all to do with it.”

“Who did it? Well, Russia did it! They blew up their own pipeline, making their own country poorer and weaker in the middle of a major war, because that’s how crazy but also diabolically effective the Russians are.”

“As a factual matter, neither of those guys, nor any member of Congress no matter what committee they sit on has any idea who did this, but if you suggest the obvious — Russia probably didn’t do it because why would they do it? It’s against their own interests, no matter what dumb story you’re trying to sell us — if you suggest that, if you apply common sense, you’re evil.”

“Probably…a lot of Americans who don’t feel any allegiance whatsoever to Russia, don’t like Putin…but care a lot about their own country and the behavior of their own government. So, if their own government, again, the one they paid for, the one they supposedly control, is doing things contrary to their interests and then lying about it, maybe they think they have a right to know and ask obvious questions.”

“It’s possible that asking questions is a patriotic duty of Americans.”

“You’re not allowed to quote the president of the United States promising to eliminate the Nord Stream pipeline, you’re not allowed to quote his Secretary of State celebrating that sabotage. You’re required to believe that Putin took out his own infrastructure, you must.”

“The only explanation allowed, of course, is the one the government wants you to believe. Vladimir is so evil, he’s destroying his own pipelines.”

Indicting Trump is an abuse of power

Make no mistake, this is a turning point for the country.

Published

on

Tucker looks at why Donald Trump might possibly be indicted and questions whether that’s even illegal and punishable at this point. Highlights include:

“The dominant rumor on the internet over the weekend was that Donald Trump will soon be indicted, possibly even handcuffed on camera. Is that true? We can’t say. We do know that Trump is the subject of a grand jury investigation in Manhattan, that’s a city that voted against Donald Trump by almost 80% in the last presidential election. We also know that the grand jury was empaneled by a Soros-funded DA called Alvin Bragg.”

“So we would assume on the basis of that evidence that’s it’s pretty likely Trump does get charged with something at some point, but charged with what? That’s the question that should matter. In a free country, laws are universal. Laws apply to all citizens equally precisely because all citizens are considered equal.”

“Eight years ago as he was running for president, Trump paid a porn actress named Stormy Daniels $130,000. Daniels alleged that she and Trump had at one point had sex. Trump denied that, he still denies it. But in exchange for promising not to repeat that claim in public, Trump through his then attorney Michael Cohen, sent Stormy Daniels a check. Was that legal?.”

“Because there was a campaign in progress at the time, officials at the Federal Election Commission later examined the transaction between Trump and Stormy Daniels. Federal investigators concluded that nothing criminal had taken place, and in fact, settlements like this, whatever you think of them, are common, both among famous people, ‘celebrities’ and in corporate America. The result is usually known as a NDA, a non-disclosure agreement.”

“It didn’t really answer the question. Why are we handcuffing Donald Trump? Liberals don’t seem to care at all as long as it happens, as long as Trump gets handcuffed. But, in fact there’s plenty of evidence that Trump committed no crime in sending money to Stormy Daniels.”

“We don’t have to guess. Consider the case of former North Carolina senator John Edwards. Long after Edwards left office, Barak Obama’s DOJ charged him with federal finance violations. So, the premise of the case against John Edwards was that he had received $1 million in gifts and that he spent that money in ‘hush money’ payments to his mistress with whom he later had a child. Obama’s DOJ argued that the money Edwards sent to his girlfriend amounted to ‘campaign contributions.’ Edwards never reported that money, so Obama’s DOJ tried to send him to prison.”

“Well, in the end, the case fell apart under the weight of its own incoherence. So, Obama’s lawyers argued that any payment that could conceivably help a political candidate politically is by definition a campaign expenditure. There’s no law that says that, by the way, they just made it up. But if you think about it for a second, it doesn’t make sense. If that were true, flip it around. It would mean that candidates could use donor money and also taxpayer money in the form of federal matching funds to pay for any personal expense as long as that expense could conceivably benefit them politically.”

“Not surprisingly, John Edwards was acquitted in that case.”

“What’s interesting is even as Bragg has been single-mindedly focused on Donald Trump and his ‘crimes,’ sending money to a porn star, he has been not only ignoring real crimes, but downgrading felonies to misdemeanors and letting actual violent criminals out of jail as quickly as possible. On his first day in office, first day, Bragg, consistent with the ideas of the man who paid for his campaign, George Soros, issued a memo explaining his office will ‘not seek a corsarial sentence except in cases involving homicides, economic crimes, and a small number of felonies.’”

“Bragg seems to be alleging that Trump violated New York’s Business Record Act by falsely reporting the payout to Stormy Daniels as ‘legal fees.’ Now, if this were true, it would constitute a misdemeanor and the statute of limitations has already run out for that, for the bookkeeping error, assuming it even happened. But Bragg apparently is thinking about charging Trump under a felony version of the Business Records Law, one that punishes businesses for falsifying records as a way to commit another separate crime. That would be the campaign finance violation, which as we mentioned, was not a campaign finance violation, and we know that from the FEC, which policies campaign finance violations. By the way, if it were, that would be a federal crime, not something that Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA would be prosecuting.”

“Make no mistake, this is a turning point for the country. Now, the headline here is not that they’re being unfair to Donald Trump again, though of course they are, or even that Trump is the former president of the United States. Who cares? Though, as long as we are indicting retired presidents, where are the charges against George W Bush for invading Iraq under false pretenses and giving permanent normalized trade relations to China, which completely wrecked our economy?”

“What happens if they get away with this? If they use the Justice Department, in full view of everyone, to settle a political score and to keep the White House, just to take a guy out of the race who seems to be doing fairly well? We’ll destroy the justice system, and that’s not a small thing. A functioning justice system has kept this country peaceful for hundreds of years. The purpose of a justice system is to administer justice so that citizens don’t have to do it themselves, you outsource that duty to the government. But what happens when you take that away, when there is no justice system?”

Zelenskyy is demanding you send your kids to war

Zelenskyy is on television almost every day demanding that you send your children to war, really, where they could die.

Published

Tucker continues his coverage of your government actively trying to drag us into a war with Russia and China, allegedly to defend a democracy that isn’t a democracy, who refuse to account for the several billions worth of money and equipment they’ve received over the past year.

Highlights include:

“Well, it looks like you’re gonna get a hot war with Russia and China whether you want one or not. Yesterday morning, and American reaper drone went down over the Black Sea. We still do not know exactly what happened.”

“We don’t expect to find out anytime soon, if ever. The Biden administration says it knows, it says the unmanned drone was harassed and damaged by two Russian fighter jets over international waters. It’s all we have, we’re going to have to take their word for it, everybody else seems to be. Lindsay Graham didn’t ask many penetrating questions, no, he moved immediately, seized the opportunity to demand that the Pentagon attack the Russian air force.”

“What would Ronald Reagan do? Oo, good question, Senator Graham. Ronald Reagan’s two term presidency was notable for the fact that he did not declare war on the Russian air force, and therefore the United States did not go to war with Russia and millions of lives were saved as a result, that’s not a small thing. Put one in the Reagan win column there. Another president they told you is a crazed warmonger who actually kept us out of war but won the cold war anyway. And how did Reagan do that? Well, simple. He kept the American economy strong.”

“The Republican presidential nominee, almost no matter who it is, will oppose an open-ended commitment to fund the war in Ukraine in order to fight Russia forever. Now, their position is, in fact, fully in line with the overwhelming majority of conservative voters, the ones who choose the Republican nominee, but those voters have been utterly disenfranchised for the past year as Lindsay Graham and the Atlantic magazine and the ghost of Ronald Reagan have been permitted to speak for them in bad faith. But it’s not just conservative voters who don’t want war with Russia, it’s the majority of all voters, and now there are people running for office who agree with voters, as in a democracy.”

“We’ve sent a huge amount of material to Ukraine, artillery, ammunition, $100billion, so that would suggest that the Ukrainian military has a lot of equipment, they’re well armed. But no, at the very same time that Mark Milley’s telling us that, the Pentagon just yesterday informed us that, actually, Ukraine is running out of munitions.”

“So, we’ve spent more than Russia’s typical annual military budget in Ukraine, and yet the Ukrainian military is out of ammunition again? Okay, that might be a question for Zelenskyy, Where’s all the money going?”

“These hair hats on television scolding the American Speaker of the House because he won’t suck up to a corrupt foreign leader who’s demanding that you send your children to war in a country you can’t find on a map? Zelenskyy is on television almost every day demanding that you send your children to war, really, where they could die. Now, typically, people who demand that you put your children in a position where they could die are not your allies.”
