The world is a far better place without this pathological liar on the air.
It is astonishing that some people actually believe what he has to say.
I think this is as good an explanation as we're gonna get as to how people with a (more or less) functioning brain can listen to these lies and not go; "Now wait a minute....!"
Jordan Klepper Recalls His Favorite MAGA Comment And It's A Doozy
"Klepper remembered talking to a woman during Trump’s first impeachment for trying to extort Ukraine and the then-president was blocking witnesses, including former national security adviser John Bolton, from testifying.
Klepper asked if blocking testimony would be an admission of guilt and the woman agreed it would and then Klepper told her Trump was blocking testimony.
“And she takes this very long beat, she thinks about it, and she says, ‘I don’t care,’” he said."
Keppler goes on to say that when politics and identities get mixed up they don't care about the truth anymore.

While Tucker was in his comfortable studio, one of Fox's cameramen was killed and another injured in Ukraine. Tucker then went onto root for Russia!
While Carlson has been bloviating from the comfort of his studio, repeatedly propagandizing for Russian President Vladimir Putin while disparaging Ukraine and its allies, longtime Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski, 55, and 24-year-old Oleksandra Kuvshynova, a local journalist and consultant to the Fox News crew in Ukraine, were braving arms fire there. They died Monday when their vehicle was hit near Kyiv. Another Fox News reporter, Benjamin Hall, was injured in the attack.
Tucker: "Why do I care what is going on in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia? I'm serious. Why shouldn't I root for Russia? Which by the way I am."
Yes, he is almost as despicable as trump.

part ! It was a great while it lasted.
His brand of commentary was refreshing compared to the other host of characters thats on other sites, depending on one’s politics.
He’s gonna be around for awhile , he’s young, he probably signed a nondisclosure agreement and will wait to take on a new news position , like Megan Kelly did before she went on to work for Nbc after parting Fox imopWell who ever follows him in that spot sure has a tough job in meeting ratings ,after all it was the number 1 rated cable news show in 2023.
Good luck TC
Apparently he is very welcome in Russia and if that doesn't tell you all you need to know about Tucker Carlson you're not a patriot.
""You have our admiration and support in any endeavor you choose for yourself next, be it running for president of the United States (which you should totally do, by the way) or making an independent media project. We'll happily offer you a job if you wish to carry on as a presenter and host!""

Still better than trump who believes himself to be a stable genius.
PS. Linking to Fox "News" who just surrendered and agreed to pay a huge settlement (and more to come) because they knowingly lied to their viewers just says it all about you MAGA guys - completely detached from reality.

20 hours ago, Eric Loh said:This got to be a colossal embarrassment for the Maga wing who make it their singular mission to investigate Hunter Biden and foolishly thinking it will implicate Joe Biden and possible impeachment. The 5 years investigation and wasteful spending of tax payers money fizzled down to just misdemeanor charges of Hunter and nothing on Joe Biden. Big disappointment for the Maga supporters who were promised much and got nothing. This looks like a continuing theme for the Maga GOP on other missions they promised when they got control of the House.
Benghazi, Hunter Biden's laptop, Soros etc. MAGA dog whistles the Fox Goebbels-wannabes use to rile up the base, thereby increasing viewership/income.
Murdoch has made billions out of dividing a country and thereby creating an atmosphere were people get hurt and killed.
In a fairer universe Rupert "Sauron" Murdoch would be jailed for life.

That sounds like a way to interpret something said in a way that fits with your beliefs rather than trying to be a rational listener.
It's like a religious person listening to a preacher. Very MAGA indeed.

So how are you able to better interpret what trump said than others? I mean, the guy can't string together a series of coherent sentences if his life depended on it. Watching his speeches quickly reveals that it's just word vomit sprinkled with MAGA dog whistles.

Highly unlikely. The world wide outrage will be epic and even China will be forced to renounce Russia. Game over.

KEY POINTS- President Donald Trump is pushing other countries within the NATO military alliance to contribute more to their defense spending
- In 2017, the U.S. spent (at current exchange rates) an estimated $685.9 billion on defense
- Trump has criticized other NATO members for not spending enough on defense

trump was "right" the way a broken watch is "right" twice a day. He had an excellent relationship with the world's worst dictators and murderous despots but a very strained relationship with the elected leaders of the allied countries of the USA. This individual must never again be in a position of such power....ever.
'Nuff said.

I don't know how long you have lived here, but I came here when there were proper politicians, with good education running the country, no forced 90 day reports like common criminals.
I have lived here full time since 1993 and I fail to come up with any period since then where Thailand was run by "proper politicians, with good education".
It's not that such persons do not exist. It's just that in a society where who you know counts for far more than what you know, such persons will have a very hard time getting into positions of power.

If anybody has the absolute majority in politics, then they have the right to rule.
But obviously they still have to follow the laws and the constitution.
And the politicians are still subjects to the laws. If they do something unlawful, then they should be prosecuted and convicted. That seems to be a problem in Thailand.
How about instigating coups - should that be prosecuted?

No, there's only one way and that's through the established legal ways. Even though you're in thrall of the carnival barker who has made it his life's work to bend and brake rules and laws the rest of us appreciate things being done legally.
Weird, right?

14 hours ago, candide said:It looks like Trump has chosen a winning team to defend him!
From the OP article:
"To defend against these charges, Trump has selected Joseph Tacopina as his lead lawyer. Tacopina is a rough-and-tumble brawler not known for his courtroom finesse or encyclopedic legal acumen."
"The other half of Trump’s legal team is Alina Habba, a Florida attorney with little if any actual trial experience."
OK, so we agree it's not the A team. But to be fair to defendant trump it's not easy to find any lawyers to represent him at all as any lawyer worth their salt have already taken Michael Cohen's advice.

If I had a vote this guy would get it.
"Thailand’s Move Forward Party wants to reclaim the lost decade under a military-backed rule by de-monopolizing businesses and reducing the role of armed forces, its leader Pita Limjaroenrat tells Bloomberg News. The opposition party will also push for decentralization of economic power outside its capital and commercial hub Bangkok if it wins next month’s general election, Pita, an alumnus of Harvard Kennedy School of Government and MIT Sloan School of Management said in an interview on April 19, 2023."

I'm sure you're right but my hope is he fades away like Glen Beck or Bill O'Reilly.
