Tucker Carlson

[Smokin' OP]

Aw you live in Florida? No wonder you're losing your mind with outrage. Heh

Surrounded by teabaggers and Q-NUTS, who have already lost theirs.

 

[Batcat]

They've done the very same thing to NON-politicians, each and every time.

YES, it would.
It happens with other crimes, even vehicle stops by police.

A photo posted on social media by a fellow diner shows aides crowding around Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, as he attempts to read documents by cellphone light, as he dines with Donald Trump at the Mar-a-Lago resort on Saturday night. The two leaders had just been told that North Korea had fired a missile towards Japan.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said no classified material was discussed at the dinner table and that the president had been briefed previously and afterward in a secure setting. He said the photos on social media depicted Trump and Abe aides discussing the logistics of a press conference they were about to hold.

Then, WTF is this?

I doubt it.
8 year old documents would have been long gone.

Teabaggers are working on it.

I doubt you will ever believe anything negative about Joe Biden no matter how much proof there is.

But of corse Trump is guilty of EVERY charge leveled against him.

 

[the other mike]

Democrats are constantly scrambling to cover up the truth.

 

[PeterPilot]

You deserve to be lied to.

This is why Carlson lies. Because he knows you beg to be lied to.

Tucker is not perfect, and I disagree with a number of his positions, but he tells more truth in one show than the rest of MSM does in 2 weeks.

The entertainer's costly lies won't be missed, but Fox had previously confirmed, in court, that he should not be believed.

At least, he won't be lonely in the unemployment line:

“I STAND WITH TUCKER CARLSON!”

I knew there were others! We Floridians who have NOT lost our minds over MAGA, Q-Anon, Trump or DeSantis … are actually over 40% of the population. Maybe more.

If you’re retired but don’t have a little boat or a big yacht there’s still plenty of ways to enjoy the ocean and warm weather. Plenty of doctors down here, too.

If you’re a skilled working man you can get a decent paying service job, or use whatever professional skills you have in the service industry. Just be careful not to get any local farm girls pregnant. Got a family already? Bring the kids for a holiday at Disneyland … if that is their thing.

Just watch out for lizards, swamp creatures and rich assholes from up North. There aren’t even many old Confederate Monuments left in Florida — none in my county anyway.

Oh, but don’t discuss politics with your dentist down here … unless you know him well!

Used to be nice here, a long time ago, then Jeb Bush got elected, and went downhill from there.
Now, we have an imbecile, that just got elected and has been on vacation ever since.

Sure I would, WHERE is it?
All I hear about are accusations, innuendo and lies.
So, when teabaggers stop threatening and bring some evidence, STFU.
But they can't do that, too much $$$ made by just accusing Biden of being corrupt.
If teabaggers are "willing" to testify............TESTIFY, under oath.
Why hasn't ONE teabagger lawyer, got ahold of ONE teabagger state attorney and filed ONE charge, in over two years?

But of corse Trump is guilty of EVERY charge leveled against him.

Not really but with Trump, his big tell is, someone reveals something about him, then he attacks them.
Even a rookie cop would figure, THAT is GUILTY behaviour.
Instead of proving his innocence in court, the serial litigator, fights court appearances with his last breath.

In recent days, Tucker Carlson presented facts about occurrences on January 6th, 2021, in and around the Capitol building that debunked the spurious Democrat narrative of a “deadly insurrection” by Trump supporters.
The “deadly insurrection” claim was and is being used to target civilians and subject them to draconian punishment when the severest penalty they actually deserved for their actions on January 6th was a small fine or community service.
Biden's DOJ says over 1,000 people have been arrested for the “insurrection.” Most of them were charged with entering or remaining in a restricted federal building.
More than 300 were charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees. More than 100 were charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to a police officer. The federal authorities are hoping that these draconian punishments serve as a warning and deterrent against any further demonstrations or protests in favor of President Trump.
This “insurrection” narrative is being used to brand other dissenting citizens as domestic terrorists or violent White nationalists and target them.

The goal is to outlaw political opposition.
The “insurrection” claim was, is, and will be used to target President Trump. They will place impediments to Trump’s campaign for 2024 and hope they can end it. All through the campaign and during the debates the narrative will be used to force Trump on the defensive. The narrative will be used to possibly indict Trump in the hope that voters are turned off by the drama.
If and when Trump wins again in 2024, they will use the narrative as an excuse to limit his power and authority as president. If the Democrats retake the House in 2024, there could be another January 6th probe that could hang like a sword over the second Trump presidency.
The Biden presidency has been a total catastrophe and the Democrats know it. Biden’s misgovernance has caused an uncontrolled influx of illegal aliens, record-breaking inflation, a fragile economy, a crime wave, and unprecedented violations of seemingly inviolable norms in conduct and practice.
Globally, Biden has weakened the US due to his catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan. It doubtlessly emboldened Putin to intervene in Ukraine. The war continues to rage, and Biden has dispatched over $111 billion with the approval of both Republicans and Democrats.

Exploiting voters’ fear by peddling the “insurrection” narrative and claiming Trump will be a dictator is the only way the Democrats can secure votes. If the insurrection is debunked, they have nothing. This is why the Democrats and establishment Republicans are demanding that Carlson be prevented from airing further episodes on the January 6th footage and that Carlson be sacked.

YouTube screengrab
If facts were on their side, they would not have restricted access to 40,000 hours of security camera footage from the Capitol Building.
If facts were on their side, footage of Officer Sicknick being bludgeoned to death by Trump supporters and the ‘QAnon Shaman’ being violent would have been played on every mainstream news channel.
Biden’s DOJ is claiming that about 140 police officers were assaulted that day. If that were true, footage of Trump supporters beating up policemen would have been made public.
The footage would have been used during the January 6 show trial.
If facts were on their side, those demanding Tucker’s sacking would have appeared on his program and demonstrated how his claims are incorrect.
But nothing of the kind occurred.
Since they cannot counter Carlson with facts, they want to silence him in order that their disinformation campaign is unconditionally believed.
Tucker is clearly a target.
A series of private text messages allegedly from Carlson was released by Dominion Voting Systems as part of their $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News. In a text message on January 4, 2021, Carlson allegedly expressed an intense dislike for President Trump and claims to be “close to being able to ignore Trump most nights.”
Carlson allegedly made disparaging claims about the Trump presidency overall.
In another text exchange, Carlson allegedly agreed with Trump that there was fraud in the 2020 elections, but added Trump and the lawyers who allied themselves with him — Lin Wood and Sidney Powell — had "discredited their own case."
So, what do we make of these texts?
Is this a case of dual standards?
Not exactly!
Unlike Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or others, Carlson has never claimed to be a personal fan of Trump.
Carlson has on various occasions branded Trump as a buffoon and even vulgar. and has been critical of the Trump Presidency on various occasions. So, his anti-Trump texts are not a surprise.
Carlson is undeniably a supporter of the causes that Trump stands for. He has openly acknowledged that Trump's questions challenging the purpose of NATO after the Cold War, opened his eyes.
There are many such Trump supporters who don't always support Trump’s statements or humor but support the MAGA agenda and the fact that Trump is a rare Republican who gives it as good as he gets.
What about Carlson’s texts on Trump’s lawyers had "discredited their own case”?
On November 19, 2020, Carlson grilled Sidney Powell regarding her claims on his show and by November 22, 2020, the Trump team had cut ties with Powell.
Beyond the specifics of the text, we must understand that text messages or chats are informal and cannot always be regarded as personal verdicts about any issue. People often vent out with friends via text messages or chat, it could also be exaggerations in jest and visceral reactions emanating from frustration or anger. Keep in mind that, at the time, face-to-face interactions were rare due to Covid fears, so texts were used for communications that under normal circumstances would have taken place in office hallways, on the set, or in personal offices. These casual interactions would have left no discoverable traces for the lawyers to get their hands on.
The release of these texts must be seen as a violation of Carlson’s privacy.
The goal behind the amplification of these texts is to give the impression that Carlson is a conman who doesn’t really believe the claims he is making on his show, that he is just doing it for ratings or financial gain, or political clout.
If fame, financial gain, or clout were all that Carlson cared for, he is smart enough to know that claiming to be liberal and defending the Democrat groupthink is much safer and lucrative.
But instead, he is challenging the groupthink -- for which he has become a target.
It would not be wrong to assume that various government agencies are scouring through Carlson’s past.
Perhaps they will scrutinize Carlson’s financial records and find some impropriety. Perhaps his personal behavior is examined – if he has lost his temper with a colleague or if he has told a slightly off-color joke to a female colleague, it will all be made public. They could claim any or all varieties of bigotry.
Perhaps they find a jealous former colleague or a disgruntled former subordinate who not only sings but composes for the right price.
The goal will be to force Carlson out.
They successfully managed to force Bill O’Reilly and Eric Bolling from Fox News. They tried to do the same with Sean Hannity but failed.
They tried it before with Carlson but failed; they could try it again.
This once again is a reminder of how far the nation has moved from what the founding fathers had envisioned.

Consistent to the end, the erstwhile Fox entertainer was not to be believed according to even Fox's own lawyers (with whom the court agreed), but his lies proved far too costly for Rupert. The fabulist absconded with a fitting fiction. His last words:

"We’ll be back on Monday!”

​

His previous lapses into reality were embarrassing:

Tucker Carlson said he hates Trump 'passionately'​

and one of his private auguries has actually proved prescient:

“We are very, very close to being able

The rumors I hear are that Hunter may be indicted shortly. I personally doubt it as my contention is the Bidens like the Clintons are above the rule of law.

Hunter may face charges as most Democrats do not want to see Joe Biden run for a second term. Ignoring Hunter helped get Joe elected the first time and prosecuting him may stop Joe’s chances of a second term.

Joe of course hopes to avoid any indictments or impeachments and winning in 2024 will enhance his chances of surviving untouched.

Federal Prosecutors Are Considering Four Charges Against Hunter Biden

The possible charges are two misdemeanors and two felonies, including lying on a federal form to obtain a firearm.

APRIL 22, 2023


Federal prosecutors are reportedly weighing charging Hunter Biden on four counts—three charges related to tax fraud and one charge connected with the purchase of a .38 revolver.

The potential tax crimes include two misdemeanor counts for failing to file taxes and one felony count of tax evasion related to a business expense, and one possible felony charge for allegedly lying on a federal form related to a 2018 gun purchase in Delaware, according to NBC News.

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss will make the final decision as to whether to press charges against Hunter Biden.

Most Democrats don't want Biden to seek a 2nd term, poll says

While Biden has trumpeted his legislative victories and ability to govern, the poll suggests relatively few U.S. adults give him high marks on either.

Gee the bilge from the left keeps growing.

Gee the bilge from the left keeps growing.

Hey, I have no need to spread “bilge.” I can just enjoy the show!

Face it. It’s been your own heroes — people like Tucker Carlson, and your own corporate media, that did this to themselves.

If they hadn’t lied so compulsively, so shamelessly, slandering left and right to back up the crazy “Big Lies” MAGA’s “Great Leader” spread, they would never have ended up in this fix.

MAGA’s own heroes on Fox were so shameless and arrogant and money grubbing, they set themselves up for this fall.

But don’t worry — Fox still has plenty of cash and MAGA still has plenty of “true believers.”

Indeed, Fox already promised … “to continue our commitment to the highest journalistic standards” !

So there is still hope!
