Senator Cory Booker is a remarkable actor

Now, you can judge, but you have to concede that whatever else he is, Cory Booker is a remarkable actor. He is the Jessie Smollet of democratic politics.

Tucker praises the acting talent of Senator Cory Booker, a man of opposites whose identity changes depending on the current situation. Highlights include:

“One of the best things about, say, a Supreme Court confirmation hearing, is that you get to see the US Senate in action, and this is new. If you’re like most people, you know that the Senate has 100 members, there are 2 from every state, and you know that they’re somehow important, they’re in the Constitution. So they wear dark suits and red ties to work, they talk about laws, every summer they fly to foreign countries and act like they’re president.”

“But do you really know these people? Who are they, really?”

“It turns out that Cory Booker is not a product of the streets of Newark, not even close, he is in fact a blue-eyed rich kid from an all white suburb, his parents were IBM executives.”

“Now, you can judge, but you have to concede that whatever else he is, Cory Booker is a remarkable actor. He is the Jussie Smollett of democratic politics. A fraud, yes, but a deeply committed one. A man who has honed his skills, and those skills have been on full display this week as Booker has emoted all over Ketanji Jackson.”

“Now, Jackson is an oppressed member of the professional class, too. She went to Harvard and Harvard Law School.”

“Imagine if you worked at, say, CNN or MSNBC or NBC News and you had to pretend that that was an authentic scene that meant something, that it was rooted in some observable physical reality, that people who went to ivy league schools somehow are oppressed.”

“So, you wouldn’t want to acknowledge any of that, you wouldn’t want to point out that rather than ask a single actual question during the confirmation hearings, Cory Booker just slobbered all over the nominee. You wouldn’t be able to say any of that, so you’d have to figure out a way to ignore it, and our media dutifully did.”

“The problem is they are praising a sitting United States senator, a member of the judiciary committee, for asking zero questions during a confirmation hearing during which we’re choosing the next Supreme Court justice. They’re saying it is immoral, because of the way that she looks, to ask her real questions, to know what we’re getting before she takes the seat for life. “

‘Republicans boast they have not pulled a Kavanaugh. In fact, they’ve treated Jackson worse.’ “So, if you read the Post piece…you will find that the Post editorial board is aghast that Republicans asked Ketanji Jackson about kiddie porn, about the sentences she handed down, sentences that fell far beneath federal sentencing guidelines. Ketanji Brown’s explanation for her low sentences were that the guidelines were written before the internet. Now the people can amass huge amounts of kiddie porn, the guidelines are too strict. That was honestly her explanation.”

Tucker: We’re Back.

At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.

Tucker again lays into the media propaganda machine as he announces he’s taking the show to Twitter. Highlights include:

“You often hear people say that news is full of lies, but most of the time, that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the ‘literal’ sense, it could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks.’ Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it, in fact they may have. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true.”

“The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits, and you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed. Every person who works in the English language media understands that. The rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy, really, and it’s utterly corrupting.”

“For the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we’re sick of it.”

Tucker: See you soon

When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink.

Oh gosh, I’m using Twitter. Tucker dropped a video today on his Twitter account, again commenting on the current state of US media and finishing with a hopeful “See you soon.” Highlights include:

“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those, it’s gotta be the majority of the population, even now, so that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are…”

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead.”

“This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
