Right wing nut jobs are already saying "Tucker who".

Humor/opinion follows... FWIW, there is no truth to the rumor that Rupert Murdoch offered to trade Tucker for his own WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich, and a player to be named later. Putin evidently said that he didn't want Tucker as he was a useful idiot right where he is.

Who can beat Biden? The Republican candidate. A "no-label" candidate, like Manchin, said to be considering "other" election opportunities, would in theory swing the election from Biden to the Republican candidate. The 2024 presidential election will again come down to four or five states, and probably fewer than 150,000 total votes. We all remember Ralph Nader in 2000, and Jill Stein in 2016.

Well, I guess they could avoid the alarm bell by not sexually assaulting women, and/or men?

Yes, I finished it, over two days. Loved it, highly recommended 9/10. I also loved The Night Agent but IMO that is a definite cut below The Diplomat. I was not disappointed with the ending - it was quite clear that things weren't going to get wrapped up - and I was pleasantly shocked with the ending. Well the dialog, the "walk & talk" style, the inner workings of the Executive branch and of course Debora Cahn, the show creator worked on both the West Wing and Homeland, are the similarities I was referencing. I'm looking forward to The Citadel on Amazon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0JG6V-12ac

Interesting that the article fails to mention the drug(s) involved. My best guess is that since they didn't mention cannabis it was yaba, which for some reason rarely gets mentioned outright. Strange.

Blame it on Mexico. Well that, and immigrants seeking a better life (like all of our forbear-ers), oh, yeah, and Fentanyl.

I think the dirt the Murdochs have on Tucker is far, far, far worse than some dodgy texts with the c-word. Is it barn animal level dirt? No. But it'd probably be shocking to the "typical" Fox viewer. And you can be sure Putin has similar kompromat on him. The freakin' guy, Rupert, is 90+ years old. Do you think he doesn't know how to compromise people? I think Tucker is toast. Father Coughlin had 30 million listeners when the population was 130 m. The broadcasts have been described as "a variation of the Fascist agenda applied to American culture" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Coughlin Who remembers him? And Tucker's a pimple compared to Father Coughlins' volano. Hucksters, salesmen, swindlers, just when you think people learn, they disappoint us.

If she corroborates Ms. Daniels observations... "She describes Trump’s penis as “smaller than average” but “not freakishly small”. “He knows he has an unusual penis,” Daniels writes. “It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool …" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/18/stormy-daniels-tell-all-book-on-trump-salacious-detail-and-claims-of-cheating then maybe not "whoppers", but not freakishly small either. My guess is that he can't see it unless he uses a mirror, maybe two mirrors.

With more and more countries legalizing Cannabis, and considering it, Singapore probably wants to send a message reminding everyone that Cannabis remains a Class A Narcotic (which includes all the biggies). And a long drop method hanging at dawn should get everyone's attention. Singaporean citizens who smoke cannabis outside of Singapore can be tested upon return. Most are sent to drug rehab programs, maybe with a bit of caning.

Fox is probably going to start the negotiation position with a five year non-compete, even if they choose to pay all five at 20 mil per for 100 mil. And they have ALL the power. They'll probably save more than that over all the settlements? Carlson, and Don Lemon, both hired Hollywood lawyer Bryan Freedman, who negotiated Chris Cuomo's package, to represent them. Although the two terminations seem quite different. Tucker for 'cause', and Lemon for 'performance'.

The Thaiger is in on the faux outrage grift I guess. Animal advocacy group Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand said they feared Bailey’s post and the zoo’s appearance on Disney-owned talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! “could influence tourists into supporting controversial wildlife attractions that campaigners say cause immense suffering to animals.” World Animal Protection Thailand described Bailey’s post as “a real bummer.” First of all, Ms. Bailey is at the mercy of her contract, and the requirement to promote a film. She probably assumes that these activities are reasonable and acceptable within Thailand. If you want to shame someone, maybe start with the Thai owner/operators of Safari World, and these two lame "Animal" activist groups for not doing anything to stop them.

Who didn't love Trump's initial response... 'She's not my type,' Trump says of E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of sexual assault “I’ll say it with great respect: Number one, she’s not my type. Number two, it never happened,” Trump told The Hill in an interview at the White House. In 2016, after a former magazine writer accused Trump of assaulting her in 2005, he responded: “She lies! Look at her, I don’t think so.” And when another woman claimed Trump groped her on an airplane in the early 1980s, he said, “Believe me — she would not be my first choice.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/she-s-not-my-type-trump-says-e-jean-carroll-n1021331 I can't wait to hear him tell the court what "type" he does like to rape?

Any future plans for Carlson may be limited until his lawyer negotiates the terms of his settlement. Yes, he can pop out videos, but again, his lawyer is probably advising him to keep quiet - which is just all so satisfying to think of him having to shut up - until there is a settlement. That video he released was very strange. Without his faux agency of the Fox he comes across as weak, powerless, claiming to be a victim and yes, pathetic.

I wonder what kind of dirt Fox has amassed on Tucker? I suspect it's juicier than just some texts mocking management. "Eight sources."!!! Message received. Fox Has a Secret ‘Oppo File’ to Keep Tucker Carlson in Check, Sources Say FOX NEWS EXECUTIVES have in their possession a dossier of alleged dirt on Tucker Carlson should he attack the network in the wake of his departure, eight sources at and close to the network tell Rolling Stone. When Fox announced Carlson’s departure on Monday, the network presented the separation as amicable. But according to one former on-air Fox personality, the anchor and some of the channel’s top executives are parting ways on “the worst” and “messiest possible terms.” Indeed, in private communications released last month as part of the Dominion-Fox lawsuit, the now-fired Fox host gossiped that one such exec “hates us,” claiming she was covertly working against him and other hosts. But if Carlson attempts to torch the network he’s leaving, Fox is prepared, the sources say. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/fox-news-tucker-carlson-secret-dossier-oppo-file-1234723855/

Yes, your humility is on display in nearly every post. So you, and presumably Carlson, are "just asking questions"?

So what is the concensus on Mr. Calrson? Did the Woke Mob cancel him? I think Bud Lite should issue him a ceremonial can (pun intended) to commemorate his transition. And Mars Inc. could gift a bag of the green M&M's ("the sexy ones"), for which he seems to crush for.

Old Puddin' Fingers can't resist bullying anyone. Thank goodness he's makin' a mess in Japan. Even Trump has castigated Desantis on his war with Disney. Trump attacks DeSantis by suggesting Disney could leave Florida because of the governor https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/trump/2023/04/19/trump-criticizes-desantis-on-disney-with-economic-disaster-in-florida/70129695007/ Trump will pummel Desantis in a debate.

While Fox's number were down... Unsurprisingly, Fox News ratings suffered Monday night without the channel’s most watched host. After the surprise of Fox News and Tucker Carlson “agree[ing] to part ways” on Monday, the network’s 8 p.m. hour had a significantly smaller audience Monday night. The debut of Fox News Tonight, hosted by Brian Kilmeade (the first in a series of rotating hosts), pulled in just under 2.6 million viewers — about 21 percent below the average for Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.3 million viewers) over the past eight Mondays. Fox News Tonight also took a hit in the key news demographic of adults 25-54: Its 0.24 rating was 37 percent lower than the 0.38 Carlson averaged over the prior eight Monday shows. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/fox-news-takes-ratings-hit-after-tucker-carlsons-exit-1235400150/ ...there are plenty of right-wing outlets available to spread the Gospel. OANN and Newsmax are getting significant bumps.

While there are fewer female serial killers, many of them are poisoners.

The obvious solution is to raise the PSC from 700 baht to 1,000 baht, but the Tourism and Sport Ministry wants to "handle" this 7.5 BILLION Baht windfall on their own. * assumes 25,000,000 tourists this or next year, a not unrealistic estimate This money will be pilfered, stolen, embezzled, used for anything other than the 300 million baht in unpaid medical bills, or protecting the natural beauty of Thailand.

Time to trot out forensic specialist Pornthip again, the former head of the Central Institute of Forensic Science in Thailand, with her re-purposed GT200 "Cyanide Detector"? That's his brand, and I think it is mandatory to use his brand name in any/all publications. Were the initial deaths categorized as suspicious? What was the legally published cause of death?

Your posts reveal something far more sinister, ugly, nasty and despicable, and claiming "indifference" does not provide you with any teflon. I wouldn't even give you a participation medal for that weak post.

Nor should you want to, but if you do Google setting up a VPN router for words and videos.

Meh. Ignoring the sort of folks looking for a beef is a much better approach.
