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!

insufferable arrogant prick who helped him get to where he is says what

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 8 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Carlson made his name as a tick on Trump's flabby ass. Now he's looking for a new host? Fuck him.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

That's so funny I just mentioned Tucker Carlson, talking about people getting beaten to death in unimaginable ways.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Tucker Carlson is a man who, with a straight face, has repeatedly told multiple people, on camera, that he went to sleep in his bed with his 4 large dogs, and woke up with scratches, after feeling s pressure on his body...

... and he concluded this was demonic attack.

I think at this point the alcohol is taking its toll on Tuck.

Oh and of course when Fox News got sued by Dominion Voting Systems, its came out that Tucker absolutely despised Trump, while he was fluffing him up every night, and fluffing up his viewers with leading questions that feed into or generated conspiracy theories.

... Lately he has 'asked' if Trump is the AntiChrist.

And then a few weeks later, he denied that he said this, despite... there being video, of him... on his own show... that he published... saying that.

You can only possibly take Tucker seriously if you are either extremely religious, or basically have brain damage.

[–] chilldrivenspade@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

what’s the difference between someone who is extremely religious and someone with brain damage? how can we tell?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Y'know . . he can't remember

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 105 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tucker wants to run for office. He helped create ALL of this.

Fuck. This. Guy.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

He's a bread fucker.

[–] DanceMomsSavedMe@lemmy.zip 47 points 1 day ago

Yeah and your bitch ass is one of the reasons he was able to do it.

He should be hung up like the rest of them. Fuck this guy.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 41 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Idk lol i think a lot of people imagined this. And warned the rest of the people very loudly & frequently.

"Hey don't shoot that loaded gun at your foot. If you shoot yourself in the foot, it'll hurt a lot and make walking difficult"

shoots self in foot "OW MY FOOT ^take ^that ^libtards"

"Yeah it was a bad idea, right?"

shoots self in foot again "I HAVE DIMINISHED MY FOOT IN UNIMAGINABLE WAYS"

More like:

"Don't shoot your foot!"

Proceeds to shoot own foot, your foot, my foot and almost everybody on eath's foot.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah fair point. Pretty much exactly like that. Though, I think that with so many republicans being rural and poor, their feet are disproportionately shot despite them doing the shooting.

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Oh, is it that time of the year where Fucker Carlson says something true before going back to slinging Russian propaganda again?

Dude is one of the biggest traitors to the US and bears significant responsibility for the current state of things (like most of the human trash that's appeared on Fox News). He's likely only saying this now because Russia finds value in stirring the pot over here.

¿Por Qué No Los Dos?

Daily reminder to not ever eat a Swanson frozen dinner.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

People actually eat them? They taste like hobo ass.

[–] Slashme@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

How do you know what hobo ass tastes like?

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

He ate a hobo's ass. Don't kink shame.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

It's where this ghoul's money came from, so some people do.

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tucker Carlson is deeply disingenuous and it's probably a mistake to listen to anything he has to say, ever.

[–] GreenBeard@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

When your whole career is built on lies...

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

Hey! So does Tucker! Cool comparison.

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 7 points 1 day ago

The Right hates this guy now. But for the life of me, I can't figure out why. He was the absolute poster child. "I'm just asking questions" (where you ask completely unfounded questions in an effort to shift discourse where it doesn't need to go) is a cornerstone of MAGA "thought".

...except that saying anything against the MAGA cult leader gets you a permaban. And thus, Tucker is out.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 11 points 1 day ago

Well even a broken clock is right 2x a day.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Conservative grifters once again realizing that it's difficult to fulfill the niche of faux anti authoritarian broadcaster when your anti establishment candidate becomes the authoritarian establishment.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

By the way, it's a shtick that works - Rush Limbaugh and his thousands of imitators on hate radio all pretended and still pretend that they were some kind of outsiders, throwing Molotov cocktails at "the system", LOL.

That they were the true inheritors of the 60s, only just done for good purposes.

Thing is, they represent the real power behind the system and that power wants the last shreds of a safety net cut to zero, bring back things like debtor prisons and cut the middle class to nil.

But plenty of people buy into the kayfabe. Even after Rush was given a Presidential Medal of Freedom by the sitting (failed) president, I bet most of his listeners still thought of him as an "outsider".

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

It's hilarious how the cons somehow convince themselves it is they who are the Rebel Alliance, punk rock and edgy rockers all wrapped up into one and are rebelling against the daddies of the establishment, when conservatives ache for a daddy to be the boss of them - and everyone else.

Hell, even Tucker said it himself - "Daddy's home".

Who the fuck do these weird assholes even think they are kidding when they act like they are the counterculture? Daddy's home? Fuck you, that ain't punk rock and you ain't the Rebel Alliance.

My favorite example of this was Paul Ryan in unironically claiming that his favorite band was Rage Against the Machines while being speaker of the house.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Says the guy shilling nicotine pouches to teens and bros.

[–] kurmudgeon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I hate agreeing with this cuck on anything. I wish he'd just fade into obscurity. If he ever runs for office, I'm not voting for this asshole ever no matter what he says.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, no kidding.

It's almost like he's working for our enemies. Same goes for the REPUBLICANS, by the way. It's not like Donvict is operating in a vacuum, but good luck getting Tucker to admit that.

I bet he and MTG pull the "no true Scotsman" bullshit after he's out of the picture: "he wasn't conservative enough" and "he wasn't a true conservative".

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

The guy who helped start the fire says arson is bad.

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I hope you feel personally responsible.

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

Stupid person is taking the long road around to learning basic things.

Such news!

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

No. They're quite imaginable for anyone paying attention, and obvious outcomes of the choices made by him and his cronies.

You don't agree with Tucker, he is agreeing with us.
