politics

Republicans are very nearly all either (1) manipulative traitor cunts who amass power and money no mater the cost to others; (2) mentally defective degenerates, useful idiots.

I don't think he's a useful idiot, he knows exactly what he's doing. 1980's Trump was a useful idiot, advocating for the end of the Western international order because it made him look and feel smart and powerful.

Tucker is participating in a quid pro quo. He gets a major interview which makes him the center of the conversation for a while and gives him negotiating leverage in his next project, Putin gets his preferred message out to the American Right.

I've never seen a side shot of tucker Carlson that I can recall. Now I know why.

I wish Hunter S Thompson was still alive and could write a bit in his RS column about this...

Peskov claimed on Wednesday that Carlson’s position on the conflict with Ukraine is “not pro-Russian by any means, and it’s not pro-Ukrainian; rather, it’s pro-American. But at least it stands in clear contrast to the position of the traditional Anglo-Saxon media.”

Pffft hahaha, what a fucking racist dork. That's some 4chan-level shit.

Also, while I think it's overall a good article, I think calling Tucker a useful idiot is unfair. When I think of a useful idiot, I think of someone who means well, but is on the wrong side without realizing it. Tucker's not a smart man, but he knows what he's doing. If you ever watch his shit (which I only recommend to verify his grift), he's not just disconnected from reality, but actively contrary to it. He's trying to poison the well, while inoculating his viewers to reality and any argument based on it. He's not simply wrong, he's lying. He knows what he's doing is wrong, but he's doing it anyway, for his own benefit.

Useful to Putin and his puppets. Useless idiot as far as actual American interests are concerned.

why is he red

I'd almost put money on this useful idiot being used to funnel new information/strategy back to the orange lard and it's lawyer

This is going to be on Tucker's new streaming platform, right?

So at least almost no one will see it.

I think Putin is paranoid about being near someone who is not FSB and having an "accident", because that is how he operates. He is doing a Stalin speedrun, and I don't think he'll last much longer.

Weren't they replaying segments of his show on RT?

That side shot reminds me of Piers Morgan! 😅

I hope that Tucker asks all of the important questions that Putin has avoided until now and then promptly disappears to 'play golf' in Siberia for the next couple of decades.
