I can take a lot of jokes, but what Carlson is doing is among the worst I’ve seen in recent memory. The guy was already despicable and he found a new, gaslighting layer of disinformation…and the interview hasn’t even been aired yet. Just the preview was bad enough. The man might be the worst person in society.
Also, he’s not a journalist. His legal counsel pretty much admitted that in litigation.
All it takes is an ounce of common sense. The GOP are lining up to block Ukraine defense funding and Tucker has always been their mouthpiece. I thought even you could do the basic math on this one. Either you lack that ability or are in denial. Neither one of those is attractive.
I think the real rub is that on Super Bowl weekend, normally an interview with the POTUS is aired.
It's just a bit weird that we are getting Tuckers interview with Putin as the alternative.
Well, you have a president that is not even trusted to take softball questions like "how do you like your wings?" A chance to show 100M in the US and 800M around the world that he is competent in the most gracious of terms... "nope". Pretty much says it all.
Let me tell you a little story to show you just how moronic you sound here. Bill and Sam live two doors down from each other. Each morning they both come out on their front porch to read their newspapers and each day when the mailman runs they witness the dog in the house between them chase and try to bite that mailman. They witness this same event day after day, week after week and month after month. One day Bill says to Sam. "You know Sam, that mailman is going to walk through that same gate in the morning and that same dog is going to try and bite him again."
And Sam looks at Bill and says, "How can you know that? Tomorrow isn't even here yet. Do you think you have some crystal ball?"
And of course we both know that since that same dog follows that same pattern day after day, Sam sounds like a moron. Anything else Sam?
Day after day, week after week and month after month, Tucker has been the mouthpiece to block Ukraine funding?
I think the real moral of this story is that Bill and Sam are reading the wrong newspaper. And Bill and Sam think only they are capable of adult thoughts and reaching their own conclusions. Seems like many like Bill and Sam are in favor of a nanny state where only one wing of the government decides the fate of all these virgin ears.
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
What did I miss besides the fact that Tucker is everyone's boogeyman?
The preview alone says it all. Putin has denied interviews with every other major news outlet and Carlson has already been parroted on Russian STATE TELEVISION (man, where have I seen that phrase used on this board before??). Why do you think he’s letting Tucker interview him?
He is a boogeyman. He is absolutely a boogeyman and it should not be downplayed. He has spread horrific misinformation and gaslighting for a long time now and it infiltrated the minds of those who either cant or don’t want to think critically and confront facts as they are.
He’s already been an apologist for a blatant human rights abuser who has a warrant out for his arrest, tipped his hand in his preview, and will damn well be an apologist for him in the interview when it comes out.
I think Carlson is more dangerous to our society than Trump. Because he’s smarter. I don’t know what his angle is, but something about his whole stance on Russia along with many others in the MAGA circuit stinks to high Heaven.
I try to remain objective on most things, but I will absolutely die on this hill. I really cannot understate this point enough. I really think when history books discuss the decline of America, Carlson will be in there. The apologist for America’s second largest adversary, the leader of which would absolutely seek to supplant everything our society and principles stand for at their core.
Strother Martin summed it up nicely...." What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach."
I guess he missed that Bill and Sam weren't talking about what was in the newspaper. They were talking about what they had witnessed the dog doing over and over again for a lomg period of time.
According to faux news… as fake reporting and outright lies by them has been established multiple times now. But you go ahead and believe whatever you want, no sweat off my sac. Y’all point at so much garbage as fact, I don’t believe any ‘quasi’ facts you bring. It’s now at the boy who cried wolf level, not a MAGAt in the country has even an ounce of credibility… Like the Bidden impeachment, pure lowbrow BS.
What truth? I can prove they lie and tell half truths (as fascisst state media does), but there is not a single shred of evidence that they EVER tell or told a whole truth. Prove it’s true.
Why Republicans are obsessed with pedophilia, gender identity, gay people, and abortion From Ron DeSantis to Josh Hawley to Greg Abbott, they're fixated on sex. Here's why.
Oh, you mean why won’t I dive down your conspiracy BS rabbit holes to filter the muck for infinitesimally small grains of fact? It could be because I’m to busy with fact like GOPer leaders having cocaine and drug fueled sex parties with paid women, attempts to keep them silent, and wondering what kept him from being charged when he was accused of the same exact behavior with underage, out of state youth. I remember his business partner or buddy (idk) narced him out? I mean he was charged and swore Gaetz was involved trying to reduce his sentence. Hmmm.
It could also be, I’m too busy internally having laugh-gasms over the crap the dupes post in here trying to pass it off as rational reasons to vote for a traitor.
These aren’t funny, they are just hate speech personified. How some people consider some of this funny is beyond me. The entire thread is nothing but 4chan level trolling and hate. And you wonder why I come after crap postings like this.
trumpers don’t watch SNL. You know, snowflakes melt watching that show.
When you try and make a joke but then realize no one (left, right, or center) really watches SNL anymore.....
Wrong. Mostly MAGA snowflakes aren’t watching anymore. They can’t stand watching their god and his followers shown looking like the pompous fools they are.

That must be it. All this time I thought it was because that show hadn't been all that funny for two decades.
I willingly admit that how funny SNL has been has had its ebbs and flows. They change cast members and writers with great frequency. As such there have been seasons that certainly haven't been as good as others. But over the past 20 years there have been many seasons that have been very funny. That's why making a claim that "it hasn't been all that funny for two decades" is such nonsense. As of now both the writers and cast I find to be very funny.
I like the fact, that as you can see by the sneakers skit, they take shots at both trump and Biden.
Yeah, it definitely ebbs and flows. Sometimes it feels like they are forcing it, which it felt like until recently. Other times, they have the right cast and the right chemistry. A lot of it also depends on the hosts. So far this year, they have had a good lineup of hosts overall. Adam Driver may be my favorite. It appears they might be entering into another upswing. Weekend Update is probably what I look forward to most now on a consistent basis. Mikey Day and the Do Not Destroy clips I find consistently funny as well.
I don't think lumping them all into one group is either accurate or fair. I've witnessed many of them do that very same thing for a long time now from the opposite direction and I don't approve of it when they do it either.
You mean can I show you examples of how Republicans in general have lumped every Democrat into the same category? You do realize that was what I was saying when I posted, "I've witnessed many of them do that very same thing for a long time now from the opposite direction and I don't approve of it when they do it either."
Gotcha. I thought you were talking about melting like a snowflake watching a comedy show. Anyways I don’t consider all republicans GOPers. That’s my derogatory term I use for the maga right.
That's hilarious and so flipping true, but why do they gotta do my boy Gonzo like that (top middle)? He was one of the ones ousted for voting to impeach, so he ain't in office anymore.
Otherwise, they might as well do bulk pricing for them. Like Costco.
I don't get that one. Is it a reference to Trump? I think he was a Republican then, wasn't he? I can't remember when he turned. He was one, then the other, then independent, then back to Democrat, then Republican. I can't keep it all straight. I can't think of anyone on the far right who was ever a Democrat besides him.
