Tucker only cares about Iran because his financial backers care about Iran. Go marvel at Russian supermarkets and lob softball questions to Putin, Tucker. Go suck up to Alex Jones and Viktor Bout. Ted can hopefully drown while snorkeling in Cancun.

So a lying scum bag opportunist and a lying scum bag opportunist are disagreeing

Fun fact:

Ted Cruz daddy (ted too) is also a member of the new apostolic reformation (NAR) whose appeal to heaven flag is flying in DC today.

This is what papa Cruz said about ted:

During a sermon at the New Beginnings church in Bedford, Texas, in 2012, Rafael had described his son’s Senate campaign as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy that “God would anoint Christian ‘kings’ to preside over an ‘end-time transfer of wealth’ from the wicked to the righteous.”

“According to his father and [New Beginnings Pastor Larry] Huch, Ted Cruz is anointed by God to help Christians in their effort to “go to the marketplace and occupy the land … and take dominion” over it,

the fulfillment of biblical prophecy that “God would anoint Christian ‘kings’ to preside over an ‘end-time transfer of wealth’ from the wicked to the righteous.”

A) I thought the Bible taught against hoarding wealth.

B) Aren't they all supposed to be Raptured into Heaven anyway, leaving us sinners alone here on Earth, where we'll end up with their stuff anyway 'cause their stuff isn't going to Heaven with them? So what do they need it for?

So what do they need it for?

To bring about Armageddon, as their Doomsday/Suicide cult salivates over. Were I their diety, I'd be pretty pissed at them wrecking my creation for their selfish desires, and the whole mass murder thing that conflicts pretty solidly with the 10 Commandments.

Why is Tucker Carlson speaking sense recently. What's going on?

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Putin doesn't want Iran attacked.

Fox News does.

Tucker often ends up speaking for Putinist agendas for some reason.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I mean to be fair lots of people don't want Iran to be attacked. The only people who do are Zionist fascists and their paid stooges in the US.

Russia is allied with Iran.

Which also in a roundabout way underscores that even objectionable entities (like Russia) can have some agreeable opinions even if only because they're self-serving.

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Never assume these assholes are ”speaking sense”, it’s always sketch as hell and there’s an underlying motive. For example: “Large” Marge Greene is against it because she just hates Jewish people that much (see also Eric Clapton’s alleged support for Palestine).
