What the hell is with these right wing sycophants like Tucker and McConnell coming out and criticizing the regime when they were part of the driving force that pushed us to this point?
Honestly I've never agreed with him until he left fox news. I'm sort of wondering if he had to tow the company line before and now he doesnt. He was definitely part of the problem and should not be pardoned for it, but he has not been throwing the fox rhetoric for a while now.

I dont like it but I accept the correction.
There really isn’t enough credit given for humbleness. Thank you.
He’s a Russian foreign asset.
Its definitely the evil Russian billionaires. Our good, patriotic american billionaires would never spend billions to promote an ideology that privileges them.
Fixed. Ass(et).
Putin and Murdoch aren’t always on the same page.
Ahh, those lovers quarrels are soooo passionate aren’t they?
It's all about, and ALWAYS about the grift. See if it makes sense now. Flip where the flop flows. And the money comes in. It's always the grift. It's literally the true American dream.
Except here Carlson doesn't realize that he is already marked for the Dachau.
This is what I keep saying. When our we going to We The People on this?
Kimmel didn’t even say anything about Kirk he criticized the machine trying to create a narrative.
Who he really criticized was Trump. He showed the clip of how mournful Trump was. A reporter asks how he’s doing with the death and he waves a hand dismissively saying “Im fine” and in the same breath starts waxing poetic on the ballroom he’s building.
THATS why Kimmel was suspended.
Even his critique of the MAGA side could be applied to pretty much everyone:
MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.
I think everyone knew there's political benefit to the shooter not being on "their side" and many people actively pointed to evidence that indicates he wasn't. Kinda didn't help that the shooter basically turned out to just be some dude with no obvious affiliation.
It just so happens that there's one political party that controls every aspect of the hill and who's been clamoring to suppress dissent that make them an obvious stand-in for the subject of the joke when anyone else coulda been seamlessly slotted in.
It's infuriating that this is how we're losing our freedom of speech. The most milquetoast, unprovoking recognition of the state of things. He didn't even call the fascist Nazi president a fascist Nazi--just described him as being like a child and that was enough.
That's what baffled me. I watched the episode and couldn't figure out what he said about Kirk that was so bad.
It is so fucking bizarre because it has been a favorite American past time to hate the president. Motherfucking Trump tried to float the idea that Obama wasn't even an American citizen. That is a hundred more times disrespectful than anything that has been done to Trump.
Trump constantly talked shit about who was President. Why the fuck does he think he deserves some special kind of respect he refused to give anyone else. He is the worst kind of snowflake crybaby man child I have ever seen.
This is how Cluster B Personality Disorders work. Narcissistic type is a fragile snowflake that creates a false reality and freaks out / throws abuse when anyone contradicts that reality. Worse, if they’re exposed for what the ly are. The difference with Trump is he has a following playing up that false reality to an entire nation.
Trumps behavior is not bizarre, it’s Cluster B doing Cluster B things, on script.
The problem is he’s been ramping up on power grabbing and this is step one of suspending the bill of rights.
What timeline am I on?!!??
His whole empire is built on hateful rhetoric, so while he supports the right thing it is not necessarily for the right reasons.
Also it is important to point out that Kimmel didn't really say anything about Kirk, he simply made fun of trump being over Kirk in just 1.5 days and when being asked about him, he changed topic to his ballroom.
Kimmel didn't say anything hateful only showed that trump doesn't give a flying fuck about Kirk and exploits him to consolidate more power.
Pretty sure all of them have merged into a single one, cause no single one can be this weird.
The Kimmel thing is a nail in the American coffin. If conservatives don’t rise on this it will be the final nail.
Just use the bill of rights as Trumps next diaper because that’s all it’ll be good for if this stands.
Fascists don't care about hypocrisy or logical consistency. They call socialism the devil, yet "worship" Jesus.
Tucker Carlson is a propagandist for the Kremlin. Broken clock and all that.
Something must be wrong with me. This is the second time I have found myself agreeing with old tuckester here this year. I must be unwell. I’m going to go to my doctor this week.
There’s nothing wrong with you; it’s not uncommon to share some ideals with people across the full political and social spectrum.
Even ol’ Tuckey here can be right every once in a while - even if the rest of the time he’s an otherwise unredeemable arse.
It still doesn’t stop me from feeling incredibly gross though. The thought of agreeing with him makes me shudder.
I mean a broken clock is right twice a day.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Tucker's still on Putin's payroll, and he and Orangina are having a little lovers' quarrel.
Foundations of Geopolitics. It doesn't matter how hand in hand the two dictators are, Pootis not missing a chance to stir the pot.
I guess payroll at The Kremlin stopped issuing those checks & bonuses to a certain little spoiled rich boy.
I think they just switched their marching orders to cause chaos in the republican party.
Hmmm, I reckon I could see that angle.
Even a broken clock is right two times a day.
Wait til Tucker learns how we got the Patriot Act....
He understands if the situation goes any further, he will easily be on the chopping block.
I fucking HATE when monsters like the piece of shit make a good point I agree with.
Just keep in mind that the big split on the right is whether Kirk was murdered by trans-antifa or "the Jews".
Besides, Tucker works for Putin and any political turmoil is good for America's enemies.
The Russian puppet is right for once!
It's almost like Russia wants to sow discord and is doing it through compromised individuals.
What is he going to do about it? Will he put even 1% of the effort he used to denigrate Obama for supposedly taking away our rights? He's got a shitload of money he could use to help, but won't.
