bedroomsTucker Carlson: Putin takes charge as TV host gives free rein to Kremlin
The Russian leader was given the opportunity to expound familiar grievances unchallenged.
Putin wrote a long essay before the war that denied Ukraine's existence as a sovereign state. He now appears to have learned it by heart.
I mean, that's the job of a body double. He's right there in the picture.
Russian propaganda molded a big part of a nation and some of its media into a submissive lab dog. Amazing that it became the Republican Party cozening up to Russia and making this 180° turn of it previous stance without losing the empty mind of their followers, as Russia transformed themself closer to the republican extreme it is today creating a match made in hell. Brother in heart, cruel, authoritarian, corrupt, brass, lying, projecting, and slaying anyone who falls out of line. And in the End of all the politics Bowtie-Tucky sits on Putins lab, panting, drooling, like the spineless overbred dog he is.
Carlson is a millionaire funded by billionaires (Rutger Bregman).
SonoriI don’t see the contradiction, Russia went from the center of a nominally socialist union to a hypercapitalist libertarian dictatorship, of course the Republicans are going to try and support it.
…and on a more surface level, if the Democrats are against Russia, the Republicans are going to be for Russia, simply out of spite.
It’s so crazy how true that is.
If you follow politics, the recent deal between Biden, Democrats, and the Republicans gave Republicans everything they supposedly wanted for border security. They aren’t voting for it because Trump wants to keep hitting Biden on that issue during the election. It’s fucking insane.
Is this true?
It is, but I’m the guy that originally said it, so you shouldn’t trust me. Here’s an article about it, and another article here.
𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍It almost makes me wish for the good oa’ days of McCarthyism, just to see the shocked Pikachu faces. And, boy, Julius & Ethel were lightweights compared to today’s traitors; the electric chair would be going nonstop for a long while until the House was truly cleaned out.
And, boy, Julius & Ethel were lightweights compared to today’s traitors
Yup. Super dark period in US history, and a tragic couple, regardless of their crimes. Not a good look for us.
Yeah I don’t know what’s worse, cozying up to dictators or looking for ‘commies’ behind every curtain.
Both stink. Fascists, either way.
NeatoCan we just, cancel Tucker’s passport so he can’t return? Pretend we aren’t home and turn all the lights off?
To be clear here, I actively hate what Tucker does. He’s a symptom of a great sickness to society that causes more harm then anything else.
The only part of this that is Carlsons fault is that he took the interview and went to Russia. There’s no other way this would have played out when a reporter does an interview of Putin. Carlson was likely in that room with nothing but Russian agents who let him know exactly what was going to happen before the interview.
Anything else could have easily resulted in Carlson never coming home.
Maybe they got kompromat on Tucker so there was never any worry? Or he’s just a useful tool for them, any definition of tool will do in this case.
The reason he took the interview doesn’t matter, that decision is his fault. Even if kompromat, he did something he wants to hide in that case.
But the moment the interview was announced, we should have been expecting this exact thing.
Anything else could have easily resulted in Carlson never coming home.
Nah. Anything else would have resulted in him going home sans interview tape. Putin is not dumb enough to start another Khasoggi style incident.
He’s a total sycophant yeah but he wouldn’t be murdered.
'Course, that wouldn’t stop the FSB from implying or outright threatening it, nor possibly iCarlson believing the death threats to be real especially given their track record of defenestration. That would effectively accomplish the same goal.
Carlson never coming home.
If only.
Never watched this Carlson fool but it seems that others do to their detriment. If you are so desperate for ratings that you need to give a platform to Putin, your life must be in tatters.
noctisatraeI didn’t watch the whole thing… as the amazing J Cole Says « Nothing New Under The Sun »
I expect to hear in a few years that Carlson has been on the payroll of the Russians for years.
ArugulaZThe biggest challenge of the interview was the translator trying to understand what Tucker Carlson was saying with his mouth full.
The fact that we’re talking about this means that, as a publicity stunt, it worked. Tucker got a massive amount of media attention for this.
And in the social media algorithm, there’s no such thing as bad publicity; all that matters is engagement.
Personally I won’t be watching. Not even for the memes. If enough people ignored pundits like Tucker Carlson, they’d go away.
