Why the lyrics “Bawitdaba, da bang, da dang diggy diggy, diggy, said the boogie, said up jump the boogie” should be taught in every school in the nation, tonight on Tucker Carlson

Kid Rock singling out "snowflakes" for his ire in 2021 was somehow behind the times even for the Fox News crowd. It was a very 2016 thing, they had definitely moved on by then.

I've said this just about anywhere possible but Tucker Carlson has the world's most punchable face. For the absolute horseshit he spouts either because he believes it or is too lacking in moral integrity to stop and the critical damage it has done to politics globally, if given the opportunity, I wouldn't stop punching that face until my own knuckles fell off. He's not a useful idiot, he's either a true believer or should be consigned to the deepest pits of hell as he chokes on the filth, the lies and the sheer venom he spits to line his own pocket while the country he supposedly loves festers from its already rotten core.

I like that Tucker deliberately makes that face too. He puts on this confused mug because he thinks that's how thoughtful people look when smart people are talking to them because he thinks he is a smart person and when he talks to people they look utterly confused by whatever nonsense he's trying to sell them.

Entirely possible. I think this is giving him too much credit though. His elitist and proud persona was the same tired old racist\bigoted rebellion. 'THEY want you to feel guilty for being proud of being white!' Except his, being an actual rich\elite, extended to 'They want me to feel guilty about being rich!'

I think he's not as hardcore a white supremacist as he plays. Like, I'm sure he's a racist and thinks awful things about people of color, but I don't think he's quite as white supremacist as he's doing for ratings. Having said that, if you stare into the abyss and all that, people eventually become what they pretend to be. And it doesn't matter if he's a true believer, it's irrelevant to what he does.

Fucker Carlson warns that removing Putin would make things worse. “So, Russia has a large and restive population of Islamic extremists. Do we think it’s possible that with no one running the country ― because of course we have no chosen successor to Putin ― is it possible, if we did that, that one of those 6,000 nuclear weapons might wind up in the hands of some anti-American terror group and be used against our civilian population here?” he asked. “A nuclear weapon! Well, it’s not just possible, it’s likely.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/tucker-carlson-goes-big-protecting-065556448.html What a POS!

CocoaNuts posted:Fucker Carlson warns that removing Putin would make things worse. Russian state collapse is legitimately a terrifying prospect. The Soviet collapse was messy as hell as it was, and obviously led to widespread devastation and even death for many of the people living there, and that was with at least some amount of cooperation between Russia and the West to deal with nuclear security issues. State collapse is obviously an extreme scenario, but if the sanctions pressure really did tip Russia into failed state territory to the point where regime survival was at stake, the consequences could conceivably be bad in a whole bunch of ways, even if saying nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terror groups would be likely is overstating the case.

It’s stupid because who’s talking about regime change in Russia except for the chattering imbeciles who populate cable news? Oh it sure would be bad if crazy Old Man Biden did a color revolution on Russia with the CIA. Nobody but the ghouls in the press corps are interested in that.

Biden borderline called for regime change the other day even if he kind of walked it back and said it was just a moral perspective rather than his policy position, and some of the biggest advocates of crippling sanctions have made it pretty clear that regime change by other means is at least a longshot goal. I think there would be huge buyer's remorse and a lot of policy wonks would suddenly say they didn't mean to actually do it if it suddenly materialized (which, to be clear, I don't think is likely), but this level of sanctions pressure overnight is pretty much unprecedented, so it's not like they can say oops we tried to be careful but accidentally went too far.

There's a decent chance there would be another war inside Russia, and like I said if the Soviet collapse was any indication state/economic collapse within Russia could lead to a whole lot of early deaths. Maybe it's hard to remember while hyped up on war propaganda, but Russians are people too and we should care if our policies contribute to suffering there even if they can't retaliate against us, especially since everyone agrees Putin is a brutal dictator so he doesn't represent the will of the Russian people.

Wasn't the collapse not the actual cause of the misery but Yeltsin's subsequent dumb loving policies to rapidly decommunise the economy that caused market shocks and supply chain collapse? Like obviously losing access to the satellite republics' resources was one thing but I was under the impression it was the economic reforms that did the damage.

What's half of the worst scenario? That's what I'm worried about. It's not that this regime will be effective, or anything and actually be a threat. It's more that end of Putin's regime is open ended and not in a frolicking in democracy kind of way. Russia has never been democratic. Even after the Soviet Union fell, the stock distribution program made the existing capitalist structure inside of Soviet Russia able to open their arms an envelope the entire country. Russia has now been enveloped in this superiority complex for so loving long that anyone who isn't more to the right of Putin is going to just be a non-candidate.

Flew Delta from Ft. Myers, FL this weekend. They had the free in-seat movies and live tv thing. Which was awesome. However, walking back to the bathroom to change my boy's diaper, i had no idea i'd leave one claustophobic nightmare just to walk into another... Tucker Face. Coming from way too many seat back monitors than I was comfortable with as I made my way back to our seats. The lesson? The 40% is REAL. And it's mostly retired white males. I mean, gently caress. They had free Dune or Far From Home on tap and they choose to look at that bobble headed moron.

Tucker Carlson is dangerous precisely because he does stuff like poison the well when it comes to antiwar movements. His core audience isn't going to buy into a message of peace, but DNC hawks will point to him saying 40% of the right thing and smear the antiwar movement with it. GOP hawks can feel free to disregard, of course. It's not a coincidence that he took up this isolationist mantle right around the same time that orgs like DSA became more reasonable about their foreign policy platform.
