      Strangely, a lot of people recently:

      Maybe a successful TV show has/had a character named Buckley? All I can think of is Andy Buckley (The guy that played David Wallace in The Office). It tracks with the time-frame the name became popular, but it’s probably unlikely.

      I mean, as cool as he was in that show, I’m not sure he’s an “I’m going to name my child after that guy!” kind of cool.

      Aside from him, there’s a character named “Evan Buckley” who was in a show called 9-1-1. But that aired around 2018, which is too recent to have inspired people to name their crotch gremlins after.

      Then there is Jeff Buckley (Hallelujah) who was a musician that passed away in 1997. Maybe the uptick is a result of people who were fans?

      EDIT: Vyvanse kicked in and when on a detail-oriented binge of edits.

    I’m sure it is just a coincidence that 27 year old Buckley is Tucker’s son. I am certain he got to the White House based on his long and successful career.

      The former Fox News personality’s only son has worked on Capitol Hill since 2019 — as a staff assistant, communications director, and deputy chief of staff to Indiana Republican Jim Banks.

      It’s not nothing, but I doubt he held these jobs due to experience, given that this was ages 22-28.

      He’s a household name around here! I can’t go to the supermarket without hearing someone prattling on about Buckley’s latest achievements. I mean i get it, the dude is an overachiever and a household name already–but can we please stop pretending he’s the second coming? Yes, i subscribe to his weekly newsletters, yes i host a podcast about his ascent to greatness, yes i have been banned from his fanclub on Facebook (they’ll never show him the love that I can), but please for fucks sake can we just talk about anybody else for like 2 minutes please?!?

    Guys. The traitor shitcunt convicted felon president currently has a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ. He just raked in probably billions in thinly veiled bribes via his newly minted shitcoin. The First removed has a shitcoin of her own. Kushner is making how much in real estate deals worldwide, including plans for Gaza?

    Corruption like that described in this article barely fucking registers.

    If the tide doesn’t turn by the midterms, I’d imagine that political violence is the only way out of this mess.

      Don’t worry Trump’s planning on inflicting plenty of political violence. It’s why the Democrats are being so cowardly right now.
