It's something all the right wing grifters will realize at some point.
These people have no purpose if Trump forces all the news networks in the country to say whatever he wants. He no longer requires any of their services as mouthpieces.
Holy shit I agree with Tucker Carlson?
Guess someone forgot to send tucker his check.
"Finally! I've finished my kill-bot. Come, gather round, as I unveil it to the world"
"But Professor Killington"
"Yes, adorable, one-legged, orphan Timmy?"
"Why did you make a kill-bot?"
"Well, so it would indiscriminately murder anything and everything that moves, of course"
"But professor, that sounds dangerous"
"Don't be a fucking retard Timmy. I know what I'm doing"
"O-okay Professor"
"Now everyone gather round as I turn on the killbot for the very first time, and be amazed as it makes me pancakes"
flips switch
"OH NO, STOP, STOP, STOP KILLING ME, KILL-BOT OH MY GOD, MY SPLEEN, OH, IF ONLY SOMEBODY COULD HAVE FORRSEEN THIS TERRIBLE TURN OF EVENTS".
Timmy would go on to run for Congress on an anti killbot policy. He would lose to a bigoted blowhard who insisted on the right for all people to own killbots to make them pancakes.
Ugh Fucker Carlson making sense. I hate this world.
If he ends up getting Kirked over this, I'll gladly nudge him over the line to "on the right side of history". Won't mourn his passing though, he's peddled enough bullshit to make himself irredeemable as decent human being.
Interesting. I don't know who he is, but based on (part of) the Russian shopping video I saw of him yesterday, where he was excited at what everything a Russian supermarket has to offer, finally cumming into his pants after finding that Russia has bread, I wouldn't expect much.
I only saw a clip of that. In the piece, did he ever disclose how much a typical Russian makes in a year?
Nope. Too busy fucking a dark rye bagel.
Someone did detail that information and response and he had spent like more than a Russian makes in a month at that grocery store, which is geared for the Bourgeois there. Not a working man's store.
OMG they have Whole Foods in Russia?!?
Awesome. Thanks.
Kudos for the rapid fire response too.
I was just thinking this is the perfect meme in this context.
Not only a good point... He dared to go against supreme leader, despite his much he normally licks boots, and when other more moderate people are licking boot about all this
I'm confused, but happy to see it.
What fucking bizarro world have I stepped into where fash-lite bowtie man is making sense
Tucker's a smart guy with a clever tongue. He can lay out an exhaustive, reasoned, rationalist case for basic civil liberties. And then he can come back a day later to lay out an exhaustive, reasoned, rationalist case against them.
Just depends on which side of the line he's standing. Dude's a talk radio mercenary. He'll fight for whichever side he thinks will turn him a profit.
He's honestly been right about very niche things for a while, sometimes for the wrong reasons, and never a good person. But he's sometimes right
I've noticed this happening more often than I would have imagined, actually. There are some times where Trump or one of his sycophants will make an off-the-cuff remark that is actually, genuinely, a good and logical thing to do. it doesn't happen that often, but it does happen. The bizarre part is that when that idea fails to manifest media coverage detailing how bad it is, they just... give up on it. It's like the conservative political philosophy has completely morphed into being a contrarian force against liberalism, in spite of whatever their personal beliefs might be. If democrats are ambivalent on an issue, so are they.
He was full strength fashy before 2021. He was the one floating a lot of these ideas to see how they play, like locking up your political rivals or news media.
I suspect that it turned out that Carlson's mean words towards his superiors at Fox News did him in more than anything. They held grudges after being called dumb fucking cunts or whatever and took the excuse to ask him.
I am floored that I agree with that piece of shit, but… here we are.
What a weird time to live in.
Tucker is scared because kimmel and other media personalities are getting nuked. That's his money flow at risk, nothing else.
Ya know there a principle I am rather fond of, doing good for bad reasons is still good. While Carlson may be a shitstain undeserving of his kneecaps and while he may be doing a good thing for bad reasons, well I'll take what I can get. We are effectively shrieking into the void like the banshee outside of my window, nobody hears us but they do hear Carlson.
Probably, but it's smart to take allies where you can find them. A lot of right-wingers pay attention to Carlson, and his stance is hitting where left-leaning sources have no pull.
He came out in opposition to the Iranian war and was given Ted Cruz the fuck you treatment calling him a dumbass on it. I think that was before Colbert got fired.
Similar thing for me recently. Learned musk is against collective shouts censorship. Made me really evaluate why I was against it. Still against it. Censorship limits freedom of speech but so does deplatforming the censors. Weird times
Sure, but sometimes the enemy of your enemy is still your enemy. I agree with this one thing that Tucker said. I vehemently disagree with pretty much every single other thing he says, or has said.
Good for Tucker. Rare time I say it.
He just realized that he is NOT SAFE
Not since Trump flipped on Russia (again). Maybe he'll feel safer after another Alaska Summit.
Holy shit, Tucker dares to go against Trump.
Huh, whatever happened to loving how things are done in Putinist Russia, Tucker?
I Hate This Timeline.
I agreed with Cucker Tarlson and Marge Sporktoes on things! Wtf???
So now he cares about such principles...
Only when it has the potential to impact him personally.
They keep wanting a civil war between leftwingers and rightwingers, but seems more likely they will have a civil war amongst the rightwingers themselves. 🤦♂️
