I used to watch him regularly until he got fired.

Glad he is back on this new media.

I understand that the Zelenskyophiles hate him but I am a Russophile so I love TC.

Following your example of Zelenskyophile you're saying you're a Putinphile.

Tucker is a Russian asset 

If the Kremlin isn't paying him, they should be.

Unpaid assets are called useful idiots for Putin.

Sounds like a lot of fear on the left, disguised as sputtering vituperation with a side dish of snide.

Where do you get this "fear on the left" stuff?  Because people criticize Tucker?  If that be the case, the right must be petrified of Hunter Biden.  They attack him non-stop.

OK, you got me there.

 

Based on his baseless and idle speculation, I DO now fear an outer-space alien invasion, like he's broadly hinting at.

 

B-but why is he so scant with the details? Wh-who got to him?

 

Next Tucker mini-show (he couldn't even fill a half hour):

 

"All Hail Our Insect Overlords".

Exactly, Musk changed the view count metrics, now a view is counted just by the tweet being served up without clicking on the video, before he rolled it out fully he left the real metric on the android twitter app:

 

A perfect example of such a discrepancy in these two counts can be seen on Republican presidential primary candidate Ron DeSantis' campaign announcement video. The DeSantis campaign is boasting about 15 million views on their announcement video. But, that's the tweet view count metric. Android users, who are still able to view the more accurate video view count, can see that the actual video has only received just over 4 million views.

Yep.

 

It’s still cute how the MAGAbillies try so hard to convince themselves and others that they represent some sort of American majority, though. ????

Well, yes. That would be a good reason to like Carlson for sure.

 

Do not mispronounce the names of public figures as an insult, the moderators don't like it.

He has a piercing and important truth to tell.

 

But he cannot never quite spit it out.

You sound very angry about someone simply sharing their views on Twitter that you happen to disagree with.  Have you given any consideration to the fact that you might be the one with anger issues rather than the people who watch his content?  

When Sean Hannity in the Fox News Town Hall suggested to Trump that maybe he should lower the anger a bit in his comments, he was booed by the audience.

Ya gotta love the guy. He accused  Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, of persecuting Christians.

He also called Zelensky rat-faced.

"Most familiar and alien of all, perhaps, is the range of animalistic imagery that came to stand for Jews in the build-up to the second world war. In Der Stürmer, Nazi Germany’s most influential propaganda sheet, a cover image depicted a Nazi gassing Jewish rats that huddle around the base of a mighty tree. “When the vermin are dead,” the caption reads, “the German oak will flourish once more.”

Definitely antisemitic 100 percent.

But common these days coming from American fascists, magadonians, etc.

 

BTW magadonian was recently suggested by Trump himself to call the maga people. You couldn't make this stuff up.

Not "phile",  I respect Putin but it's Russia I like. The man can be replaced.

And I think that Zelenskyophile i the right word to describe this proxy USA-Russia war.

Me, I'm pro Russia and pro the Russophone East Ukraine and Crimea minority.

Got it 

So you support genocidal war criminal Putin's war of choice against Ukraine.

That's indefensible.

Putin is on record for wanting to erase Ukraine as a sovereign nation and to erase the Ukrainian language and culture. That is genocide.

If he can't have it then he will raise it to dust.

You may think anything you like about Ukraine but it's their sovereign nation to do as they choose.

Russia must be defeated.

If you truly "love Russia", you should hate the violent criminal that's single-handedly caused, and continuous to cause, immense pain and suffering to his own people.

 

True Russian patriots are the ones plotting to take him out.

At this point really not possible to be pro Putin and pro Russia on the one hand and pro the Russophone East Ukraine.

What Next for Ukraine’s Formerly Pro-Russian Regions?

"Russia’s invasion largely put an end to this pro-Russian sentiment: by May 2022, only 4 percent in Ukraine’s east and 1 percent in the south still had a positive view of Russia. Support for Ukraine joining NATO, on the other hand, had surged to record highs: 69 percent in the east and 81 percent in the south, up from 36 percent in the east and 48 percent in the south, according to a poll taken on February 16 and 17 of this year.

Cultural and historical preferences have also changed dramatically. Sixty-eight percent of respondents from the south and 53 percent from the east now describe Ukrainian as their native language, though 49 percent of people in the south and 47 percent in the east still said they used both Ukrainian and Russian in their everyday life."

Love some of the quotes from that article, bye bye Tucker........

 

"The answer to why Tucker Carlson’s show on Twitter is failing is not hard to figure out. Tucker was a product of Fox News. Without the big Fox platform to help him set narratives and reach elected Republicans, Carlson is just another voice in the wild. It was never Tucker Carlson that moved Republican narratives, but the power of the 8 PM weeknight Fox News timeslot.

The Murdochs believe that no one is bigger than the Fox News brand. Tucker Carlson thought he was and he could do huge numbers on his own."

Only if you believe what twitter counts as views really are views.

And you are ignoring the trendline.
