ended up dead in Nazi concentration camps

Anybody familiar with young children will recognize this use of passive voice as the phase where the child admits that something bad happened, but is not comfortable assigning responsibility yet. "The lamp got broken".

Has Tucker had plastic surgery? I'm just asking questions.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I'm sorry, but he just looks like Charlie Chaplin.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

It's a shame Hitler ruined the mustache, because that's the only part of mine that grows in full.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Such a rascal of a tramp

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hitler actually stole that look from him. He was a huge fan of Chaplin's movies back in the day. And that is why no one can dress like Charlie Chaplin for Halloween anymore 😔

Hes a trust fund kid. Probably the first supermarket he's ever been inside.

Big "Ben Shapiro goes to Home Depot" energy 😄

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

First time I've seen this one. So many questions!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

Allow me to answer a few potential ones:

He went there to support Home Depot's lack of opposition to the Georgia voter suppression law that made it illegal to give people standing in line to vote food or water

Yes, he's that much of an anti democracy weirdo

No, he's clearly never been to a Home Depot or any other home improvement store before or since

No, he wasn't going to build anything with a single board of wood even shorter than he is

No, there's no reason other than (completely unnecessary for anyone who knows what Home Depot sells since the name is behind him in letters much taller than him) branding and pure idiocy to put one board in a plastic bag.

Yes, the person working the checkout definitely asked him "are you sure you want me to put it in a bag? We don't have one that fits.."

Yes, the fact that the unnecessary bag is plastic might well be a childish "haha I'm using oil based resources unnecessarily! In your face, snowflakes!" message to people who care about climate change

Yes, he called the board "magnificent"

Yes, he's enough of an out of touch weirdo that he did this with a straight face, thinking it would make him look like a badass defender of freedom rather than a sad little weirdo doing performative nonsense to excuse the inexcusable from demagogues on his "side" while demonstrating his "never did physical labor in his life" privilege

Yes, he's also the guy whose wife is a doctor with a dry ass pussy

Breaking: Nazi continues to nazi after years of naziing

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.

He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letters, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.

That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

This is less than mild shock

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

He's been doing that ever since his media career started in the 90s.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Well, I am shocked! Absolutely stunned. No, no. Wait. I meant unsurprised and jaded.

Why does Tucker Carlson look like he just realised he sharted.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He looks like he's constantly bewildered. He uses it so that he can give the appearance that what's going on is insane and that he's the last normal man standing...

And for the most part it just makes him look clueless...

I actually was worried he was an adult with disabilities being exploited by Fox when I first actually watched his show. The fact that he laughed at the idea that tacos are Mexican an origin when it's "obviously an American food from California!" Did not help

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

The worst part is that he isn't that stupid. He's just genuinely that evil.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

That’s his concerned look. It probably works on his fans.

Tucker hanging out with nazis? Why, I find that hard to believe. /s

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

He's just asking questions.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

"Accused"?

I'd be surprised if this absolute failure of a human being wasn't spreading Nazi propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The dude is doing a live tour right now, or is about to be, and one of his shows is gonna have Alex Jones as a guest. This is not surprising and if anything, is super expected.

I accuse the sky of being made of air!

Well if the jack boot fits…

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Can Fucker's tan guy tell tRump's tan guy that it can in fact go up to the eyes.

Then at least he'll have done something positive in this life via association.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Don't forget: this weirdo wants his green chocolate candy to be gendered and fuckable.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Was that the video Musk spread on his Twitter account? I knew it was bad because of Tucker in general - but this?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I hate his fucking stupid face so much

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Oh somebody finally got around to saying it out loud huh.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure this is a fact, not an accusation.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Are these the same people who claim opposing Israel is "antisemitism"?
