"You're a russian shill" is the new battle cry of "If you're not with us, you're with the terrorists" that we saw in the 2000s.
Think for a second. Please. And these battle cries are coming from democrats who supposedly were anti-war during the bush era.

Again, if you deal with people who you think want to murder you and your family every day, it might be time to find something else to fill your time. The internet =/= real life.
He's been harsher on Lindsay Graham and Mitch McConnell in the last two nights than any of the libs. He also repeatedly ripped Putin tonight but somehow people on here thinks he has a hardo for Vlad.Old McDonald said:
there's not much nuance in tucker's take here. he ascended to fame and fortune by spoon feeding grievance politics to an audience addicted to outrage. this is just him going back to the well and reminding them why they're watching - to be mad at the libs. never mind the nuclear power dictator invading his neighbor on the doorstep of our allies.
if he wants to make the case that we have bigger threats domestically than Russia fine, but he can do it without dismissing Putin's actions

Reading this thread is like taking crazy pills. A bunch of CMs (the usual suspects) don't understand nuance...at all...and jump in this thread emotionally attacking everything that moves because they aren't bright enough to understand Tucker's commentary.
It's easy to see why we are where we are currently as a country. Supposedly college educated adults can't grasp subtlety or nuance so they create strawmen to argue against and blame the "other side" for supporting Putin because they aren't equipped to grasp what should be glaringly obvious (looking at Georgia's true colors re-emerging). When you try to break it down and explain it to them slowly they put their fingers in their ears and start screaming " BUT MUH RUSSIA"!
All I can think about when reading Georgia, OldMcDonald or Larry's posts...

I just perused this thread for the first time.
I think it's hilarious/sad that the usual concerned moderate crowd around here is reacting to Putin dunking all over their beloved President Poopy Pants by expressing their outrage at Tucker Carlson instead of taking a good long look at their own "leadership" and demanding real answers.
At this point, Biden is such a colossal failure (and so hopelessly incompetent) that they're down to accusing anyone that points this fact out of being "pro-Putin." None of us are and you all know that. It's just the first lazy "argument" they can think of when confronted with the stark reality of the situation: the person they put in the White House is completely overmatched, entirely out of his depth, has no business having the job or holding the office, and once again has orchestrated a tragic failure that will cause death and suffering for millions and financial malaise across the globe. Perhaps start with owning that and people will stop rolling their eyes at you.
Maybe hilarious/sad was the wrong description. I think I'll change that to pathetic.
What a load of hogwash.

Or…the failures of Biden are so obvious, the multitude of posts commenting on this failure continue ad nauseum here…and Tucker was the topic of this post. Why continue to add to the circle jerk? People can choose to post on what they want. The converse is true for negative Trump topics and the lack of his sycophants commenting. Biden is an idiot. Feel better?ThunderCougarFalconBird said:Not to play the role of Captain Obvious, but we all know the truth.

So they yack about TV personalities instead of confronting reality.

Maybe people should spend more time worrying about the silence on Putin that matters; like why Biden isn't freezing his personal wealth/assets, or the silence from people like Merkel/Macron etc. who have very recently visited the Kremlin.Quote:
Carlson urged the United States not to get involved in the war in Ukraine, instead saying the West should use this as an opportunity to become less dependent on Russian gas.
'Vladimir Putin started this war so whatever the context of the decision that he made, he did it. He fired the first shots. He is to blame for what we're seeing tonight in Ukraine,' Carlson said on his show Tucker Carlson Tonight.
His comments came just two days after he raised eyebrows by asking what exactly Putin had done to the United States and denounced the Biden administration for painting Russian president as a 'bogeyman.'
Carlson said Thursday night that it was 'obvious' that Putin was responsible for the violence in Ukraine, before asking how the U.S. should respond.

Has Tucker said that Putin is wrong by doing his invasion of Ukraine?
So just to get this straight, the Biden administration's response to the Ukraine invasion is to exempt oil and natural gas from sanction, leave the Russians in SWIFT, and say nothing to the Chinese about isolating Russia. And Biden admits this will likely have no effect.

Hosting one of the highest rated cable tv shows does not exactly fit the term moron. Defending you calling him a moron is actually quite easy. Now I can't defend you getting your feelings being hurt should you watch his show.sultanofshreveport said:
Tucker Carlson is a moron and it's all about clicks and viewership. The more extreme he gets the more $$ money he makes.
You simply cannot defend this.

Well, much respect to you, but I am old enough to remember some past leftist/MSM talking points which our regular leftist posters seem to conveniently forget, whenever a target of opportunity like Tucker pops up on their CCP code pink daily email blast.

There's nothing subtle or nuanced about the garbage that comes out of his mouth. He's actively pro-Russian and pro-Putin and he's using a superficial sense of patriotism to justify it.
Tucker is a traitor and he can go **** himself.

Larry, here's what I don't understand so maybe you can help me out. Clearly you, Blu, Old McDonald, Gordo14, etc. really think Putin is a bad guy. Which is true. However, you guys didn't seem to care about Obama rolling over and letting him take Crimea. I didn't see any of you railing against Biden when he torpedoed the Keystone pipeline because "muh environment" yet green lit Nord stream 2 for Putin or not lift a finger to help Ukraine. You only could muster outrage at Tucker Carlson because you didn't understand his commentary.
For people who hate Putin and Russia so much yet you only get outraged at some talking points from Tucker. No anger whatsoever directed at Obama and Biden who took actions to directly help Putin. Why do you think that is? Seems really strange...
