“Bucky being a congressman doesn’t make sense” it’s clear you didn’t watch thunderbolts and it’s clear you discarded his scenes with Sam.
He became a congressman BECAUSE of Sam’s speech to make the world a better place by trying to decorrupt the system. Also, it benefited him to try and get to Val and put her in federal prison.
Also what else do you expect?? He wants to be given a second chance.
He can’t even go on a simple date with a girl without being so hyper vigilant چه برسه به زندگی اروم.
