And Buckley must be thankful that 24 years ago, when his father was searching for an appropriately pretentious name to prove his conservative bona fides, that Tr*mp had yet to ooze his way to the surface.

MSNBCâs Joe Scarborough was stunned by a focus group of Donald Trump supporters discussing the Jan. 6 insurrection.
The group insisted the event was a constitutionally protected peaceful protest, while blaming âDemocratic operativesâ and House speaker Nancy Pelosi for any violence that erupted, and the âMorning Joeâ host was thrown for a loop.
Theyâre merely reciting what the Republican 24/7 Bullshit Machine has programmed them to say.

Because Buckley Carlson is a Republican, that would be an off the scale invasion of privacy. If he was a Democrat, it would be okay and no one would complain. In fact, if he was a Democrat we would be entitled to hear the voice mail messages left on his phone.

Mervyn King said the unsayable about Britainâs economy
Well what he didnât say, in spite of bashing the Central Banks (who are big boys and can take it), is that the supply side logjam created by the pandemic was unprecedented. The pandemic spending that he decries kept Western economies out of what surely would have been a depression, and was completely necessary. What the Central banks didnât anticipate was the severe and continuing disruption to the supply of goods. So yes, there is too much money chasing too few goods, but thatâs due to having too few goods. Iâm sure that if pandemic spending had not occurred, heâd be bashing governments for not spending enough.

His lawyers described the proceedings as a âmemorial service, not a trial.â
Memorial service? But why would there be a memorial service for something that never happened? Isnât that the main reason Alex Jones is even there?

Yes: there was nothing foreboding âThe end of the world as we know itâ. 
This is normal. In a healthy, functioning society, politics should usually be boring. Unfortunately, we live in extremely âinteresting timesâ.

Just a reminder that Tuckerâs beloved Buckley got his ass kicked by James Baldwin in a famous Oxford debate.
If you have never seen this debate Baldwin is on fire and lets Buckley have it. Baldwin gets a standing ovation at the end of his remarks.

The result of that debate was Buckleyâs invention of the, now standard, Rethuglican tactic of pretending it never happened, rather than reflecting on the points made by his opponent.

Well that certainly plays into the Republicansâ and Moscow Mitchâs take that giving the middle class enough to get them over a lockdown is the problem, not pumping trillions in tax cuts for billionaires and corporations into the economy. God forbid the hoi polloi should eat during a pandemic. That money is much better spent on stock buybacks.

And got roundly booed at the Astros-Yankees game last night. Good news â Yankees lost. Bad news â Astros won. Itâs not the crappiest World Series (Phillies v. Yankees) but comes in a close second.
