Commenting last night on the ongoing furore over his revelation of some of the newly released video from January 6th, 2021, Tucker Carlson had this to say.
One of the hallmarks of people who are telling the truth, in case you were wondering how to tell the difference, is that people who are telling the truth are calm. You don't wave their hands around and make wild accusations. They don't need to do that. It's enough to say what they know and if honest people turn out to be wrong about something they have claimed, they'll admit it. They don't double down on false. They made a mistake and that's okay. It's not like they're claiming to be God.
Liars behave differently. Liars are touchy, sometimes to the point of hysteria. They're hiding something. That's the whole point of lying and they're worried you're going to find out what it is. Liars are fragile because over time, lying makes you weak and afraid and has the same effect on countries by the way.
We're living through one of those clarifying moments. Actually, we're thankful for it, where we're learning exactly who the liars are. On Monday, we showed you unreleased videotape from January 6. It proved, that tape proved, that three of the most important claims our leaders have made about that day were untrue. Their claims were lies. We were not shocked to discover that. We knew there was a reason that congressional leaders had been hiding the tape and that reporters in Washington weren't demanding to see it. They were lying to us obviously. That's why you hide things.
But what was actually surprising, what we can't quite get over even now, is how they responded when they were caught lying. They didn't seem embarrassed. They didn't apologize. They weren't even curious to learn more about what actually happened on January 6. Let's see the tape. No, they don't want to see it. They exploded in rage. And then as liars tend to do, they doubled down.
They told the same lies they'd been caught telling, but with even greater aggression this time. Shut up. It's midnight, they said, as the sun rose behind them. Who acts like that? Well, sociopaths do and in this case, the sociopaths turned out to be both Democrats and Republicans. The commitment to lying in Washington is far deeper and more bipartisan even than we realize, and we follow this stuff for a living.
Now, you sometimes hear people say that the whole partisan system is an illusion and that underneath the manufactured debates, the leaders on both sides are, in fact, secretly united in a common love of money and power and the deception required to get them. And honestly, we can never really bring ourselves to believe that. It's just too dark. But now we do believe it because we have seen it.
There's more at the link. Go read it all.
What can I say except, I agree with everything he says?

And as is now coming out, most of them never saw any of the tapes other than those provided by the 'examiners' who pulled segments for the hearings.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, the truly dispicable remain in force, unabated.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't mean the lying liars. I'm talking about those others, they who know the liars have lied and continue right on lying.
Those who don't do a thing, neither to act or to speak, to try to curtail the lying are they who deserve the wrath of all people.
A good case can be made that these rascals are more scurrilous than are the lying liars.
I was prepared to be disappointed with a dearth of video once again, however, I agree so much with his presentation that I didn't and don't care that we saw little video. He is saying what needs to be said, with the obvious evidence to back it up, and is focusing the liars to a fine point. I wonder which they will do first -- just implode or begin to nail each other, fellow liars that is.

ReplyDeletei'm surprised at you tucker
The real concern is that these congenital liars are still in positions of power.
ReplyDeleteWhen caught in their lies, exposed, they lash out. They seek to damage and destroy. And it seems like if they can't do that to specific individuals (or even if they can), they will do it to the country as a whole.
Fasten your seatbelts, folks. We're in for a bumpy ride. We are going to need to defend ourselves from our own government.
Let's be honest. The uniparty provides us with a selection of candidates of their choosing, and allows us to select from among them. Ibhad a friend run for an open congressional seat a few years back. I think there were 5 candidates in the primary, 4 mostly self-funded and one based by the RNC. The RNC candidate spent something like 10x all the other candidates COMBINED. Guess who won the primary.
