Tucker Carlson: Trump is a ‘truth elixir’ and Bill Kristol is a ‘Trotskyite’

Thanks. At one point early in the campaign I had doubts too.

[x]

Kristol's father was a Trotskyist. Tucker's mother was some sort of hippie and his stepmother was a frozen-food heiress. Using the same logic would that make Tucker a hippie? Or a frozen-food heiress?

Tucker's on the right track on the whole, but the populist thing isn't in his preppie blood and sometimes he goes too far with it.

Trotsky was for an international campaign of serial revolutions to spread liberation through socialism

Kristol is for an unending series of regime change wars to spread “freedom”

Its understandable why some people see Kristol as Trotsky-like

[Deplorable American1776]

Bill Kristol, a Liberal Communist disguised as a Conservative Republican!!

I think Trump is capable of making mistakes but I would not vote for any of the Dems of course. For example, when the media attacked him for saying “Why would it be Russia?” he caved and said that he meant “Why wouldn’t it be Russia?”

[wardaddy]

I detest Beck but unlike the others he did not to my knowledge act as a willing purveyor of the conspiracy as the others did especially Kristol

Kristol publicized the rumors generated by Fusion and others that jump started the Russian narrative knowing full well it was a hoax

Erik Erickson another Trump hater actually refused to do what Kristoll did

I strongly suggest this book

14.95 audio and I drive all day everyday so it’s easy

I think Boot is still a mouthpiece

This whole attempt to stop Trump from election and have him thrown from office has Neoconservative nevertrumpers all over it same as it does Democrats as well as some GOPe establishment

That’s the kicker....it’s not just the left

Comey and Mueller are not Democrats

And the Ukrainian mess is just an outgrowth of the original plan since Ukrainian involvement was prominent in digging up dirt on the Trump campaign

Primary victim in all of this is General Flynn

Second Is Manafort who was so compromised already by his own carelessness

Flynn did nothing basically except make enemies in the Obama camp

You would definitely appreciate James Burnham, one of the founding members of National Review.

His 1941 book “The Managerial Revolution” may be even closer to what you’re thinking about than was Max Weber.

George Orwell even wrote a critique of Burnham’s thinking:

Why did Oswald kill J.D. Tippit?

Glenn Beck was being an obedient Mormon boy in attacking Trump.

21% of Utah voters chose the ridiculous anti-Trump candidate Evan McMullen in 2016. And they will do the same in 2020, probably with another anti-Trump loser taking the place of Egg McMuffin.

It’s more than just Cheeto Face Glenn, the whole cult officially wants Open Borders- their idiot of a Governor is currently requesting more “refugees” and I hope that they get them in spades.

They will learn the same hard lesson that the Swedes and California have but not before they have ruined their home. Stupidity comes with a high price.

[laplata]

You are exactly right on both points.

[wardaddy]

Shame to dilute the genetics of all those fine women properly absconded with 175 years ago

[wardaddy]

No he wouldn’t have.

He defended Rush against the same sort of snooty dismissals Trump got and still gets

[gogeo]

Kristol must have had a Twinkie eaten by Trump when they were kids

Trump ate two.

Tucker Carlson delivered a keynote speech on what he has learned since Trump’s election.

IMO, this is the money line.
