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!

I mean after tucker spent an entire episode selectively editing out Kanye's antisemitic rants and then trying to portray it as a smear campaign by mainstream media.. why does anyone watch this moron still with the complete knowledge his stories are fully fabricated propaganda.

Tucker is a liar and a fraud. Of course he's also taking Russia money, probably saudi and musk money too.

Yes this, sure, but also he LITERALLY went to Russia, as they were invading Ukraine, and filmed some slop where he went into their supermarkets and walked around and said, "Hey... Now this is pretty fucking nice! They got broccoli and shit!"

It's so fucking naked.

Their shopping carts have a coin deposit-return system! I've never seen technology like this before!!!

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The best part was him saying that implementing this system in the US would fix homelessness - since homeless people use stolen shopping carts to carry shit around.

Jon Stewart made the remark

I’ve got this great house going on, but you know? This shopping cart looks pretty good.

I think the thing that bothers me the most is he's like some university dandy whose dad married into inexaustible wealth who portrays himself as some cross between John Q Everyman, and Joseph Rogan. Impartial Journalist facade while directly taking RT money. Every aspect of this guy is a fraud,

Everything he says and does just screams "I am a fraud".

Just like Rush Limbaugh no one will ever think of him again when he's dead.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

God damnit, now I’ve just thought of rush limbaugh.

You think that's bad! I just lost the game!

There are probably former children in the Dominican Republic who still think about him from time to time.

Read a little deeper. Ever hear of Swanson dinners? Guess who his adopted mother is. His dad is the one who married into inexhaustible wealth, and he's been financially secure for most of his life, if not all of it. There are few people in America who could be less John Q Everyman.

[–] Raiderkev 6 points 2 months ago

Close, that was his dad, and that's why Tucker is the heir to the Swanson frozen dinner fortune.

If only he'd gone away into obscurity after Jon Stewart got Crossfire cancelled.

[–] Furedadmins 2 points 2 months ago

The cadence is designed to hypnotize people. The people that watch him just accept it all as truth and probably have no idea how often he's been caught lying.
