didn't give a rat's ass where either of our senators were. I didn't give a rat's ass where any of our representatives were. I didn't give a rat's ass where our governor was, or where any other State politicians were.

The vast majority of us didn’t give a rat’s ass where Senator Cruz was either. It was the media that made a big deal about it and the lefties got all excited and wet their pants.

You texans sure are a pathetic, needy, government-dependent lot

Piss off, twonk.

That other individual makes it the centerpiece of her irrational cruz-hate. Funny how it works that way.

Looks like you're a bit butt-hurt over having your nose rubbed in the truth. Awwwwwww ....

Well, I like many of the base are hoping he IS’NT a neocon! He has a tendency to appoint idiots who lead him into terrible decisions. The neocons are a cancer who will spend and kill people for their own empire ambitions. This isn’t what Trump was elected on. If he enters this war his presidency is through. Like Johnson and Vietnam, the rest of his term will be consumed fighting a globalist empire war. Just say NO.

Tucker playing "the outsider" too far and it's destroying him. He has nobody to reel him back in.

Did Glenn Beck do the same thing? I listened to him for years on radio, then then on TV he started to crumble. Kooky guests, chalkboard sessions, and finally cheetos. Bizarre and sad to watch.

RE: This isn’t what Trump was elected on. If he enters this war his presidency is through…

Well, as of now, the USA under Trump IS ALREADY deeply entangled—militarily, diplomatically, and rhetorically.

President Trump has not YET committed U.S. forces, but he has made threatening statements, including a demand for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and a warning to evacuate Tehran.

The U.S. has deployed military assets to the region, including refueling tankers, destroyers, and the USS Nimitz carrier group, suggesting readiness for escalation.

So while the U.S. hasn’t fired a shot, it’s on the edge of direct involvement.

You seem to want Trump to say “it’s none of America’s business, Israel, you’re on your own”.

Well, my reading of Trump BEFORE the elections is he does not harbor that isolationist attitude and I voted for him BECAUSE of that.

Trump’s policy on the use of military force is best described as selective engagement rather than true isolationism. While he often uses “America First” rhetoric that appeals to non-interventionist instincts, his actions and current posture suggest a willingness to use force when U.S. interests—especially security or prestige—are at stake.

The question we have to answer is this — is Iran possession of nukes and ballistic missiles capable of carrying these nukes a threat to US Security? Do we take their regular “Death to America” chants in parliament seriously or is that just harmless rhetoric?

I take it seriously and so does Trump and I voted for him precisely because he took them seriously. I don’t know how you understand the term neocon, but Trump never gave the impression that he would not be willing to use America’s military if needed and he HAS used them ( see recent bombing of Houthis in Yemen ).

If you voted for him thinking that he worn not get the US Military involved in any foreign action, you read him wrong. He never gave me that impression.

I suggest you vote for Tulsi Gabbard in 2028 instead. She’s the one with isolationist tendencies and it shows in her most recent view of Iran. Unfortunately for her, Trump is ignoring her.

Tucker Carlson started to believe he was the leader of MAGA and got too full of himself and went off the Rez.
Tucker Carlson started to believe he was the leader of MAGA and got too full of himself and went off the Rez.

“His naughty behavior in that dismal video with Steve Bannon has resulted in him being excoriated on social media this week to the point that he had to phone President Trump and apologize.

Tucker’s credibility has taken a big hit.
I believe he was so angry at being rejected by the MAGA folks he just decided to showcase his superiority by beating up on Ted Cruz. That also backfired as he just came off looming lime a petty, mean spirited troll.”

Thank you. Appreciate your comment.

Tucker is an interviewer. Cruz is a public servant. Tucker fires off questions. Cruz was unprepared. He is unprepared.

Ted Cruz didn't do his "homework" regarding Iran. Tucker Carlson caught him. As simple as that.
