Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Sure, let us hear what the war criminal has to say. What a horror show

Carlson gave Putin a platform. I see a trend forming.

Carlson’s interview was the worst propaganda piece I’ve seen from the right yet. He fanboyed so hard, he didn’t even realize that he agreed with Putin’s assertion that eastern Poland belonged to Russia. Putin himself called the interview a disappointment due to Tucker’s lack of challenging questions.

Then he goes and gushes over a “Russian” grocery store that was actually a French chain in Russia. He first jabbed at the homeless when he encountered a coin operated shopping cart. At the end, he boasted about how he easily bought groceries at such a low cost compared to the US, neglecting to realize that he spent 20% of a Russian’s monthly income on a week’s worth of food.

It was an embarrassment.

He realized.

He just knows his viewers are morons.

Tucker Carlson is not stupid. He's malicious and servile, the Wormtongue of the right, never forget it.

…in a country that houses multiple war criminals, even as presidents.

So, it's totally on brand.

I think Miami or just Florida as a whole has the highest concentration of deposed dictators in the world.

let republicans expose themselves as pro war war mongers in an election year.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

They've exposed themselves as war mongers for decades and it hasn't harmed them at all. What makes you think it'll be different this year?

Pretty sure everyone knows the GOP has been war hungry since forever. The larger problem is many Dems are also in that camp. The military is big business and neither party has motivation to change that because they enjoy the money

yeah but they also tried to play themselves off as opposing wars during the trump years
