So I’m assuming that Sinclair will be demanding that Tucker apologize and donate and that the FCC will be threatening to cancel his podcast.

      He was full strength fashy before 2021. He was the one floating a lot of these ideas to see how they play, like locking up your political rivals or news media.

      I suspect that it turned out that Carlson’s mean words towards his superiors at Fox News did him in more than anything. They held grudges after being called dumb fucking cunts or whatever and took the excuse to ask him.

      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.)

        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.

    This man doesn’t actually meaningfully believe anything that he says. That said, what he is saying here is true.

      That’s the thing with fascism. They believe it’s never going to come after them until it is coming after them. Tucker must see some writing on the wall.

          1. There’s no such thing as a “strike card”.

          2. You don’t need to give anybody your name and phone number to join a strike or engage in protest. Why are they demanding sign-ups at all? Why do they need my personal identifying information? If it’s a strike, name the day and time.

          3. Who’s behind this website? It’s very unclear (“two friends”) but also The Black Panther Party? This seems sus, like media ragebait for a future FOX News story

          4. My first clue: the site is all a little TOO slick

          This is either conservative ragebait or everyone will be signed up for some Organizing for America spam list. Worst case, you’ll be on an FBI list and named as an “economic terrorist” or some bullshit

          Could I wrong about all this? Sure, and I’ll wish them luck and success, but they sure as shit ain’t getting my identifying information

    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.

      I think Charlie Kirk ironically would be the first one to balk at the supression of leftist rhetoric.

      Without opposition looking to make him look like an asshat while he thinks he’s making them look like an asshat, these pundits lose their ‘edge’. They have nothing to rant against, and without ranting, what’s their draw, how do they make a living being right wing assholes that don’t actually do anything or have to take accountability for anything?
