And a pretty sarcastic one at that.

His main point appears to be a proposed gas tax. I'm not buying his analysis of the economic impact, or lack thereof, on individuals based on where they live. Many of the country mice he's referring to freely choose to live well outside the urban/suburban areas where they work. My friend and his wife moved 60+ miles out of Dallas nine years ago and drive separate cars to work every day. That's over 1,250 miles per week. They're Trump supporters and the way Tucker presented the issue is identity politics.

It's a preemptive strike - the unsteady nature of Trump in mind.

I agree with your assessment of the presentation. We are mired in identity issues; it is going to get worse.

No speaking of mired. Two years of the Mueller probe and it looks like another two years will be spent on its interpretation.

Just figured it out. Tucker is Fox's George Will. .

I'm now pretty sure Tucker has no respect for the Fox/Trump base and he probably has little to no respect for Trump.

Will left Faux "News" and the Repube party long ago in utter disgust. Tucker and the rest of the pundits at Faux are intellectual gnats compared to Will.

For sure. George Will is actually a respectable fellow and has a true gift with the English language. Carlson is a matured Hitler Youth.

What we know about Mueller’s case against Trump on obstruction of justice

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...f-justice-barr

This is far from over, no matter how much Trumpkin idiots here and elsewhere would like it to be. The fact that Donny obstructed justice, on multiple occasions, ought to be crystal clear to anyone who's been paying attention.
