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.
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.
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
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
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.
Everyone getting a Russian paycheck is becoming visible right now.
Trump had a falling-out with Russia, Russia wants the US out of Israel, so you will notice that every single right-wing pundit who is suddenly screaming about government overreach are also the same ones who have been saying that the US shouldn't get involved in Israel.
Seriously, it's like a line-item list. Owens, Shapiro, Carlson, MTG and whatever other assorted midwits who have spoken out against US involvement in the middle-east, same ones who have had the most glowing praise for Russia or Putin.
Russia wants the middle-east via Iran and they don't like Trump anymore because he's too hard to manage and will likely die soon, so the window for shaping policy is rapidly running out.
(It's not going to get better when Trump dies.)
edit: save your insane replies, I don't care if it hurts your mental health to learn that the world might be more complicated than you think and there is no real binary of "good guys and bad guys" and absolutely everyone is a bad guy.
This comment is almost entirely divorced from reality. Just as bad as the nonsense that trumper dipshits spew. Ben fucking Shapiro has spoke out against US involvement in the Middle East? Lol, pretty much his sole life mission is to ensure that that continues. Gtfo with this shit.
Some people have "Russia Russia Russia" as their core identity. It's a fact-free flight of fancy.
Huh, whatever happened to loving how things are done in Putinist Russia, Tucker?
"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.
He just realized that he is NOT SAFE
Not since Trump flipped on Russia (again). Maybe he'll feel safer after another Alaska Summit.
Ugh Fucker Carlson making sense. I hate this world.
Guess someone forgot to send tucker his check.
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?
They keep wanting a civil war between leftwingers and rightwingers, but seems more likely they will have a civil war amongst the rightwingers themselves. 🤦♂️
Holy shit I agree with Tucker Carlson?
Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point
I Hate This Timeline.
I agreed with Cucker Tarlson and Marge Sporktoes on things! Wtf???
This man doesn't actually meaningfully believe anything that he says. That said, what he is saying here is true.
Holy shit, Tucker dares to go against Trump.
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.
Did his funding change? Why all the sudden change? You got the fucker there.
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.
For the love of god, would you guys learn what the FCC actually does and who they have jurisdiction over. People keep talking about how hypocritical they are that they don't go after Fox News, Tucker Carlson's podcast, Blaze Radio... Guys! The FCC regulates public broadcast license holders. They do not regulate cable news shows, satellite radio, Spotify, or any other premium, private media source.
Is the FCC head a partisan hack, a complete hypocrite, and weilding his authority to cudgel those who express protected speech he doesnt like? Absolutely. By all means, be critical of that. But stop whatabouting things that he literally could not regulate even if he wanted to. You are making criticism over this sound ignorant AF.
You’re right on the technical points, but you’re completely missing the larger reality, which is corporate and media consolidation. There are a lot of business interests that include some subsidiaries that are subject to the FCC’s regulation, and other subsidiaries that are not. The point is, members of this administration are exerting extortionate pressures that don’t happen in a vacuum.
Do you honestly think something as trivial as jurisdiction is going to stop them?
Toilet paper is more respected than your Constitution. Stop expecting 'the law' to protect you from those that write and enforce the law.
They are the regulator for cable TV and therefore do regulate cable news shows. https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/cable-television
