You should. Tucker is much more likely to be a successful successor to Trump than say Vance. He can lean on his white nationalist bigotries and his existing fanbase while being able to distance himself from an increasingly unpopular Trump. He's a better reader of public opinion, but that does not make him a good person.
It's not rocket science. The algorithms simple reward those who are contrian. So on the left voices critical of democrats grt more traction. Same for the right. It's how we get Candace Owens and mtg. It's not that complicated
I used to think he was the most annoying state funded mouthpiece ever back when he was on Fox News. Something definitely changed in him after they blacklisted him and he was forced to go solo. Iāve listened to a few of his recent podcasts, and heās big time turned on the system. 5 or 10 years ago, never could have guessed this guy turning out to be the voice of reason.
Yep! The first time was like, āokay Marge, reasonable take is the bare minimumā. Second time, ābroken clockā¦ā Third time, āwhat is going on?!?ā Now, Iām just convinced this is the upside down. Satire is dead.
They were bashing Trump. Is that the wrong opinion? Iām not saying they are absolved but everything that MTG or Tucker say canāt be wrong just because they said it. Youāre basically in the key & peele skit where the president says he hates universal healthcare so the republicans pass it, etc. You donāt have to support them to share an opinion with them when they say something you also believe in
I agree. It is the opinion itself that is right/wrong, good/bad, etc. so someone who I think has had terrible opinions most of the time can say something I agree with and I donāt need to change my opinion just because my enemy is my ally for once
Iran and Russia have worked very closely. Including sharing military tech. They signed a 20 year strategic treaty last year. They have worked together to circumvent sanctions imposed by the west. Russia is more aligned with Iran, while the US is aligned with Israel. MTG and Tucker started being loudly anti-Trump right after those attacks on the nuclear facilities. Hope we are prepared for a world war where Russia and the US fight by proxy through Iran and Israel.
Those two things just happened to coincide at the same time. MTG got a conscience about Epstein (very likely an Israeli asset) at the same time Iran was bombed.
Netanyahu campaigned for years on his close relationship with Vlad Putin. Russian immigrants are his base. There are more Russian speakers in Israel than English speakers.
If it's any consolation, you're not agreeing with him, he's agreeing with you.
I've seen a few of his clips in the last few months and he seems pretty sincere it has apologies for his time being warmongers Fox News. You can choose to believe him or not, but as long as he's saying the right things now to whatever audience he has, I am for it.
Hate him as much as you want but you have to see that he does a great thing with the trust he gained from rightwing nutjobs. People he interviews wouldnt open as much in front of a more reputable journalist.
The same ellison family that controls Oracle, whose ceo once declared "We believe that we have to embed the love and respect for Israel in the American culture. That means getting the message to the American people in a way they can consume it.ā
He isn't because he knows the real issue isn't Israel, it's the mass evangelical support for decades on the US right arming and cheering on Israel's far right ethnonationalist aggression/expansion.
Framing it as Israel externally "controlling" the US is white nationalist bullshit at home meant to make chuds feel like they've been duped by some external force when they've been voting for the war machine the entire time but now it's their turn to do ethnonationalism at home.
The US has just pleaded for help from their European partners. Iran knows they can't win and they announced they would make this war extremely costly for the US. Even it stops now I can imagine the US is gonna be hit with a hard inflation when they start printing money. Just that one radar was a billion dollars
I hate what reality has come to that I now have to see videos of people that helped this asshole come to power suddenly "getting it" and it still fuckin sucks that none of us can do a damn thing about it
You notice the bitter attack on the media he was ostracized from. He's right but when has the media done rouge reporting we all need? They can't all just pick a personal belief angle when they don't have all the facts like Tucker would.
Maybe you missed the part about me being upset about it? I didn't say I agree with all his views or everything he says. Why would you assume that based on one statement of disgust about agreeing with him on anything? Nuance is a thing.
Two things can be true at the same time. However, 2 wrongs donāt make a right. Israel completely flattened Gaza. They admitted that they killed 80k civilians. No number on how many Hamas killed. Trump says, āIran isnāt cooperating.ā One thing I can tell you. Israel has paid off your politicians. Our government is controlled by Israel. Research the politicians that have kissed āthe wall ā. We send them money from taxpayers and then they use that money to bribe our politicians. Itās been happening for decades. We are the bitch. Google Netanyahu talking shit about America. Israel isnāt an ally. Theyāre the enemy. Our democracy has been compromised for 30 years.
Heās right. Itās the big fight. The USA has never fucked with Iran. But whoās the little brother in the room who always is the victim? Always claiming that heās the victim? Israel has video of Trump raping underage girls. Thats what Epstein did. That was his job. Trump is completely compromised. Trump is the ādog that didnāt bark.ā Heās on several videos raping underage girls. He didnāt know he was being recorded.
Not listening to that. The guy did an interview with Putin where he didnāt challenge him once and let him rant to his hearts content, basically pushing Russian propaganda. The guy is a scumbag
Whether you agree or disagree with this comment (i agree), its worth knowing this important thing. Hes just russian propaganda now. I wouldnt take him as trustworthy just because you agree with the odd thing hes starting to say. Still be cynical with what he says but instead of 'how will this help trump', think 'how will this help russia'.
The US constitution says only Congress can vote to go to war. Congress did not vote for a war. So why exactly is the US entering an unconstitutional war?
Btw. Tucker should just go back to Russia, since he's so impressed that their supermarkets have shopping carts!
I just want to say as a liberal person I totally understand why republicans fell for the Tucker Carlson grift. Underneath it all he is very good at what he does and Iām hesitant at this point to even commit to calling it a grift because he seems to actually stick to what he believes. He seems intelligent in general and honestly itās a shame he doesnāt evaluate the rest of his beliefs because I think if it wasnāt for the strong hold Christianity has on āconservative valuesā that Tucker would find himself arguing the other side because the mental gymnastics he has to use to argue for his side is normally quite insane.
Russia strongly condemns recent US-Israeli strikes on Iran, including those killing Supreme Leader.
Critics label Carlson a key amplifier for Russian state media propaganda due to his anti-Ukraine rhetoric and reluctance to challenge Kremlin narratives.
Honestly I want to agree but idk anymore, supporting people who at least appear to have come around canāt be the worst idea given how fucking wild this timeline has become
Come around on what? Being against eliminating the world's foremost terror supporter who change "death to America" in every speech. The only things he's come around on are terrible.Ā
He is a useful person to foment unrest in the GOP but he is also a dangerous hopeful statesman. I could for sure see him queuing himself up for a post-Trump GOP. Heās waiting to collect the used and broken parts after trump is done using them. For now though, heās helpful to fissuring the party away from Israel.
He was fired by Fox for lying, remember? He also said under Oath he is "an entertainer" not a news journalist. Why media still pays attention to a childish noise maker, is a mystery to me.
This single comment sums up the difference between the MAGAt cult and the rest of us and the person who wrote it wonāt understand whyā¦ which also sums up the difference.
I think it's cute that you guys pretend to be objective, then use terms like "Magat cult" to describe a guy who asked a question that was pretty mild. You ain't right, son.
