Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The rumors were correct? Holy shit.
If I want to watch someone give Putin a softjob, I can always watch Oliver Stone's interviews.
At this point, it seems very prescient that red was chosen as the color of the con movement....maybe that's why tiny d always wears a red tie - maybe someone should feed that the Qtards.
Tucker ‘Bussy’ Carlson.
The “interview” is just cover.
My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.
Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.
Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…
I think you are right, been suspecting it for a while. Only reason he wouldn't is because he doesn't want to be outshined.
Nah, Cucker seems to be fitting well into his role as Goebbels 2.0
My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.
Tucker Carlson would be absolutely dead weight on the ticket. Nobody who isn't already voting for Trump would want that guy anywhere near the White House. He'd be lucky to get Trump's Communications Director slot.
He's media savvy and when he was in front of a camera, had millions of drooling followers who would eat anything he fed them. Don't underestimate him (or turnip), the cult of personality will fall in line.
Ahh yes, the propagandist too controversial even for Fox News. Tens of millions of Americans will watch this heavily curated interview and think that Putin is a pretty good guy.
He was only too controversial for them when he cost them a shitload of money.
^ This. Same reason O'Lielly is not there.
Is this like a managerial review of his boss or something? Stupid HR probably gonna throw little tucker a pizza party.
I wonder if Carlson is fully aware of how deep the hole is that he is about to crawl into. He likely already is a full russian stooge, but if not, he's about to find out just how tyrannical despots can be when you're in their power. Imagine the open and implied threats to his life and his family as they walk him through exactly what to say. Imagine how they dissuade him when he suggests certain questions that he wants to ask. If he strays from the exact script? Somebody get a picture of him when he returns to the states, and if it's within a week of the interview, see how many bruises, cuts, limps, or other signs of 'treatment' there are.
I just don't understand why.
He already has enough money to never work again. What is wrong with these people?
When you're a psychopath of one description or another, who knows what might motivate you?
Most of us normal people are content to be free to spend time with friends and family doing the things we love. Imagine if you couldn't give a shit about that, and that's basically the world's most successful people.
Their lineages have spent recent human history honing capitalism to be the vessel for the freedom of their kind. Money buys you freedom from consequences most of the time. That shouldn't be possible.
The internet opened up their world for us to see, and for a moment it looked like we might sieze control. Instead, we let ourselves be manipulates into thinking they do in fact give a shit, or at least if we tag along we'll be winners too.
The names we know are the ones who court controversy for the thrill.
Elon Musk is an excellent example. Whatever talents he has are moot next to his moral insanity. All he cares about is having a legacy, and achieving the things he wants. He just pays lip service to any real altruism. I mean, he's the last person who needs to preside over horrific working conditions. He even bans PPE because he doesn't like bright colors.
Money is a drug more dangerous than heroin.
Have to keep your boot on the throat or they might take a breath and see clearly.
