No interest in watching the debate last night. It’s why I came here for the recap. 👍🏻😁

I haven't seen the Trump-Tucker interview yet but heard it was rather underwhelming

Expand full comment

Not a lot of "sparks flying" unlike its billing. I retain my right to have suspicions about Tucker, on Musk's platform, and what made it through editing. But it was pretty dull for those who've seen his unedited rallies.

But there was nothing on the stage in Wisconsin to move any voters from Trump's column. And probably many voters who want "Trumpism without Trump" or Trump policies without Trump baggage are scratching their heads and concluding it may not be possible from that crew and they'll have to hold their noses again and vote for Trump.

Trump didn't lose any voters. The Fox stage didn't gain any voters. And quite possibly lost voters, now weighing choosing None of the Above vs reluctantly voting for Trump.

I’m not voting ever again until the true United States of America comes back (pre-1913, etc.). It’s a waste of time. We’ve all been had. What a joke...on the world. The USA is evil.

Renee Marie: It is my humble opinion that our Constitutional Republic permanently fell during the 2016 presidential election on July 5 when FBI Director James Comey “exonerated” Hillary Clinton for the illegal server and the thousands of her classified emails. At that point in American history the “rule of law” began its demise and because the constitutional provisions for remedy to the ensuing felonious acts and omissions (FISA Court) of James Comey, et.al were never pursued; our Constitutional Republic has fallen and is irreparable and the four unconstitutional indictments of Donald Trump is my proof.

Please be cognizant, the Comey/Hillary Clinton "exoneration" was three weeks prior to the July 2016 Oval Office meeting orchestrated by President Barack Hussein Obama and attended by Vice President Joe Biden, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, national security adviser Susan Rice and CIA Director John Brennan.

According to CIA Director John Brennan’s handwritten notes, Brennan informed attendees of alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016, of “a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify candidate Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.” In other words, a scandal about collusion with Russia. According to an official CIA memo, the intent of this Clinton campaign plan was “distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”

Later it was shown that the plan was enacted via the Steele dossier, which Robby Mook, Clinton’s former campaign director, acknowledged under oath in 2022 to have procured. So explosive were Brennan’s notes that Republican U.S. senators needed a federal court order, issued four years after Obama’s Oval Office meeting, to wrest a copy of it from the Department of Justice. Released along with Brennan’s notes was a copy of a CIA memo sent to FBI Director James Comey and Peter Strzok, the deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, delineating Barack Hussein Obama’s Oval Office meeting’s discussion.

If you know anything of the Communist takeover of Russia by Stalin and Lenin you can easily see the four indictments of Donald Trump are "Stalin's show trials" circa 2023, with Obama orchestrating via-fax from his basement in Washington, DC.

Therefore because our Constitutional Republic is fallen; as We the People encounter the 2024 election cycle, it is wise to conduct yourselves as living in a “Post-Constitutional Republic”. I compare it to the time of Jesus Christ living in Roman occupied Jerusalem/Judea/Samaria.

With due respect, the Republic fell WAY before that bullshit.

Expand full comment

Yes you are correct Renee Marie, "the Republic fell WAY before that bullshit" of Barack Hussein Obama in 2016 weaponizing the levers of the US government against a political opponent named Donald J. Trump.

As you know Renee, in the preamble of the July 4th, 1776 Declaration of Independence, a government obtains its legitimacy ("just powers") from the "consent of the governed". Therefore, given the fallen state of our Constitutional Republic, I am deeply perplexed on voting for anyone other than Trump in 2024. If I vote for anyone else, I then would be giving my consent to be governed and therefore by my vote I would give an unconstitutional US government a legitimacy it does not deserve.

FYI: The reason I would vote for Donald J. Trump in 2024 is because I believe the number one threat facing the world is that the war in Ukraine escalates into a nuclear exchange between Russia and the US during Joe Biden's watch. If however the world is spared from nuclear war between the US and Russia before the 2024 election, then it is my opinion the only man on the planet with the grit to stop Putin and end the war in Ukraine is Donald J. Trump. If however Donald Trump is in prison and Joe Biden or any other Democrat is President, then the end of civilization and the human species is inevitable because of nuclear winter from the nuclear fallout.

That Civil War started defacto on Jan6-2021 when DJT and all his fellow RINO Politicians, State & Local included, actively participated in certifying a Fraud Election, most notably caused by "Swing States" Michigulag&Pennsyvania Sell-Outs that actually have enough Electoral Votes to have made a difference... yet the Criminals in Georgia get to prosecute him and put him in jail potentially (all for Civil War fodder, of course).

Rallying the Patriots to come to DC and then head home to the WH to watch the orchestrated chaos from the comfort and protection of the Secret Service Handlers told me all I needed to know about Donald the Actor. AFter 4 years of his overrated reign, culminating in Operation WArp Speed Lockdowns during his last year, Election Fraud was inevitable. All part of the Bigger School Play.

My choice for 2024: NONE OF THE ABOVE

I *especially* didn't like his answer about Epstein. "He probably did kill himself, coming from where he came from looking at what he was facing."

What better excuse could he give any potential captors of him than what came out of his mouth? Not a smart answer for a very stable genius who could possibly be looking at what he's facing coming from where he's coming from.

I like the guy, despite his many self-inflicted wounds and the wounds on the nation his flu response was. And because he isn't a puppet of global malevolent criminals. Unlike everyone else on that stage in Wisconsin, including Vivek. I like him for the same reason Lincoln liked US Grant: He fights, he's indispensable to the cause. A great general, indispensable, though not a great president for the many poor judgments he's made. Such as his speculation about Epstein being dumb to say. Very dumb to say facing what he's facing.

Interesting that the trans/lgbt ideology that is threatening to tear our educational institutions a part was totally ignored. As a parent I found this offensive. Blue states are actively trying to subvert parental rights over these issues via schools. Bret Bair is a joke.

This is Vivek's exact strategy: boldly say all the things the average conservative wants to hear but none of the other candidates will say. He's a fake.

Expand full comment

Given that a "sincere politician" is a contradiction in terms, that is always a possibility.

Is he more or less fake than the other candidates up on that stage?

Tactically, he came into the debate with a good plan and executed that plan rather well. If he is the Soros wolf in sheep's clothing you say he is, then he's a potent threat. If he's Donald Trump, the next generation, he's still a potent threat, just from a different direction.

If there was any lingering doubt that they weren’t completely captured, that has now been answered by their presentation of climate change as fact without any real facts to back it up.

He said the “climate change agenda” is a hoax—which seems obvious. Even my friend who’s a huge climate alarmist agrees

most of the measures (the agenda) in the works are silly. Perhaps I missed VR saying whether or not he believes anthropogenic climate change is happening.

It's pretty hard to argue anthropogenic climate change while advocating more burning of coal.

Some feel it’s happening, but it’s not an emergency and is a tradeoff. We get civilization in exchange for a small rise in temperature. He said fossil fuels are necessary for society.

There are those who use that rationale. Although I tend to suspect that vis-a-vis calling climate change a hoax that rationale is a distinction without much difference.

No matter how it got said, VR came out swinging against the current regime's "green energy" agenda.

Really? You are being robbed blind and being setup to be incinerated via thermonuclear attack by the US elites and their bought and paid for lackeys in DC and you are worried about the LGBT garbage, which is more or less a distraction to keep social conservatives from focusing on the elephant in the room, which is massive grift and warmongering via DC.

And, according to https://www.foxnews.com/politics/vivek-ramaswamy-settles-lawsuit-world-economic-forum-donate-money, "Ramaswamy slapped the organization with a lawsuit in a Cincinnati, Ohio court in April after it failed to remove his name from its 2021 list of Young Global Leaders even though he declined the nomination to the list and requested multiple times for them to remove his name. In a letter Ramaswamy shared with Fox News Digital, the WEF apologized for its mistake of including him on the list without his permission, and noted internal changes it made to its process to ensure no such failure would happen in the future."

Vivek's "happy warrior" act may not have been "Presidential", but within the framework of the debate he showed he could go head to head against a cadre of the political establishment and more than hold his own.

He needed to raise his name recognition, and he succeeded. Like Trump in that first debate in 2016, he needed to show he belonged on that stage and he did exactly that.

Christie is windbag. Someone needs to confront him for the cameras after one of his bully attacks and tell him to take his mafia boss tough guy routine and shove it up his big fat ass.

I've seen clips of him doing his same bully act at ordinary voters with policy differences at GOP meetings he's attending, not even featured. Gotta punch a bully in the face, they're not used to it. Watch him drop or lose his shit. If he threatens to fight, meet it with a cold stare and say "come at me, tough guy, give me what you got fatso." He loses. Unpresidential. He doesn't have the character or disposition to respond in any way that could be considered presidential.

You have to understand something about Christie Cremes - the man is a bona fide sociopath who truly and honestly believes his own lies! He is completely and totally delusional! Lives in a world entirely devoid of all truth! He will tell you that he had nothing to do with Bridge Gate because in his sick and mentally deranged mind - he didn't!

I never thought for one second Tucker would bring it up. He's as bad as the rest. And as for the ones on Fox, the moderators not asking about it is no excuse IMO. There is nothing more important issue IMO than stopping the injections. We lost 3000 on 911 and started two bullshit wars over that. The numbers from the injection dwarf that many times over and its fucking crickets. Silence at this point is inexcusable and leads me to believe they are all happy with it and are also happy to be commander in chief while the DoD is running a psychological and biological war against us all.

Have you two seen this report on McKinsey? Very enlightening how governments and the top companies all use them and pay them big money for “consulting” fees on how to destroy anything. The coordinated covid response could have been orchestrated through McKinsey.

He followed orders. He's not better than the rest. He is portrayed to be. But he isn't and the fact he didn't ask Trump a single thing about covid proves it. I don't care what his reasons are. They are malicious, and there is zero excuse for silence on the issue. If he was better than the rest, he would have asked real questions, just like his pathetic 12 hr slurp fest on Blaze. 12 hrs, no covid questions. He is carefully crafted limited hangout being used to draw people into Elon's Blue Check ID Verification trap.

I saw a tweet from him in something like 2014 and he was calling out the vaccines and the harms coming from them. Then, promoting OWS in 2020 - some have said someone got to him. The vax is one thing that really hurts Trump and so I'm not sure what's going on there. Does he realize the amount of harm that's come from it, or not? Or does his ego (or something else) prevent him from taking ownership of the fact that big pharma and/or the globalists screwed him? He didn't personally create those poisons, but he's essentially promoting them, and I don't get the disconnect that is so different from his other America-first policies.

I totally agree with you about Sen. Scott. I found him boring, uncomfortable-looking, and in over his head. He just does not stand out from anyone else. However, I don't get why his being a bachelor figures into your point about him or how that contrasts with the American Dream. In America, he has the right to make that decision. Is that not part of the beauty of being an American? Or--imagine this--perhaps he hasn't found the right person.

He’s a bachelor because his priority was making sure his mother had a comfortable retirement after she sacrificed so much to raise two sons when the murder rate was through the roof during the crack epidemic. Scott is very focused and driven and had multiple jobs up until he won his seat in Congress in 2010.
