Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

You gotta fly to both Moscow and Tel Aviv to be on the republican in-crowd, Tucker, you idiot. Man, Tucker cant even get throne-sniffing right.

The guy has been exposed as literally taking huge amounts of money from Russia for years, during which he did his best to attack all of the US institutions and government and divide the population, he even did a fawning interview with Putin in Russia, and had a puff piece tour around a model (faked/embellished) Russian grocery store - literal cold war propaganda stuff so Putin can show the big US media guy is super impressed by Russia's stores & availability.

I suspect the main reason he is coming out hard on MAGA / Trump now is because he's been given new talking points. Trump's new deals don't benefit Putin, so bad press and more division is the order of the day (now amongst the ruling conservative party, instead of Dems vs GOP). Textbook Russian statecraft IMO.

Tucker being astounded by bread in a grocery store will always be hilarious.

Where the hell did this guy come back from? His opinions are irrelevant. He should go back to anonymity again.

Pfft...

A "one off" comment in seeming agreement with his guest likely designed to shut off this line of commentary and move on to something more palatable for Shmucker...

Don't put too much stock in it. 🤷‍♂️ 🤡

you figure if you undo his little bow tie it'd be long enough to hang him from? we can thaw some salisbury steak and green beans for his wake..

All we have to do is promote that quote like crazy so Trump sees it. Trump will lose his mind and whine incessantly until Fox takes Fucker off the air

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Can't believe I'm agreeing with Tucker Carlson. What in the fuck is this simulation...

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I bet he changes his tune ASAP

Nah, Putin pays more and provides windows to fall out of if you cross him.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oddly enough, he's been breaking with MAGA more than usual lately.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Maybe he's angling to be one of those "republican defectors" the DNC so badly wants to bring into the Democratic party. We get Liz Cheney AND Tucker Carlson on our side, everybody.

I agree that Tucker Carlson should be eaten by Grizzly bears. What were we even talking about?

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now he speaks up? This can only mean this deal somehow harms his personal interests.

Fuck this asshole.

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

gotta start thinking about these things like signals. those in the know are reading them and making bank. what fresh hell shall we all face when we wake up tomorrow to this universe, where Biff found the almanac.

edit - this is VERY IMPORTANT: don't harm the almanac!

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Imagine how salty Tucker must be right now. The mf was a fundamental stone on the rise of Trump and the alt-right and had being left apart without any grift to suck off.

[–] Shawdow194@fedia.io 1 points 19 hours ago

May the leopards continue the feast

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

He's a fucking clown. Stop giving him media coverage and let him die off in the void.

[–] Monstrosity@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

Why would anyone care what this little gremlin loser thinks?

I would have had no idea but for this article. Thanks? I guess?

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

When you're so corrupt even that pathetic piece of shit Tucker Carlson is starting to notice

[–] thann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 19 hours ago

Yup, the same guy who soyfaced to bread at a russian grocery store

This was amazing to watch when it happened.

I’d never seen anything like it. Incredibly this happened during a war that Russia started.

It boggles the mind.

“There things I won’t, even if you paid me a ton…but I will say ANYTHING for a click or Up-Vote”-Love, Tucker Carlson.
