      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.

      Foundations of Geopolitics. It doesn’t matter how hand in hand the two dictators are, Pootis not missing a chance to stir the pot.

    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.

          Yes yes, of course. Russia, Russia, Russia. Complete fact-free fringe lunatic conspiracy theory nonsense, but hey, whatever floats your boat. I think he’s a cryptid Sasquatch from Mars. Has about as much truth to it.

          Or maybe he’s a Adipose like in Dr Who? That’s it! He unzips his human suit at the end of the day to let the farts out!

          Its definitely the evil Russian billionaires. Our good, patriotic american billionaires would never spend billions to promote an ideology that privileges them.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    That’s how it always happens. Makes you think if this all wasn’t “orchestrated”, but lets not get… into conspiracy theories.

    He understands if the situation goes any further, he will easily be on the chopping block.
