1. Can there be anything more repulsive than having to be in agreement with this putz on this issue?

[marble falls]

2. Eating a urinal mint. Just barely.

8. Ouch! Well, yea....that's close to it.

[RVN VET71]

4. Couldn't bring myself to watch because I'm not on strong enough meds

But don't be overly harsh on yourself. Carlson will back off of any criticism he may have inadvertently put out there.

5. I essentially said, the same yesterday.

3. Night is now day. He'll walk this back tomorrow or be off the air.

6. That

was amazing. I'm ….. aghast but Mr. Carlson was spot on and seemed at least to be sincere. He laid out many salient points and much to my amazement and ….. disgust I must admit.... I agree with him. What the hell is going on?!?

[redstateblues]

7. "Slam" is too strong a word. He mildly disagreed.

I’ve heard him slam before.

9. Get ready for the back-pedaling and groveling to Barr in order to keep his news job.

Just you wait!

10. Broken clock and all that...

11. I just watched the video, and I agree with Tucker Carlson, basically.

It was good journalism, and he made some very good points, that all Americans need to harken to, including Trump. But Trump was not acting in American national interests when he ordered the strike on Soleimani - he was acting solely for his own personal political interests. I don't like Tucker Carlson, because he is usually solidly spewing Trump / Republican propaganda, but in this case, he offered sage opinions and advice. I definitely didn't need any strong meds to listen to him - I take medicinal herbs instead - but still, I didn't need any full strength Valerian root. Just the title made me feel that perhaps he had come around to a more reasonable viewpoint.

12. Bizare position for Faux and Tucker

This sounds more like a progressive dem.

Huh?

Glad to hear it though.

[Skittles]

13. huh

is Tucker FINALLY realizing Trump does everything for HIMSELF and not for AMERICA? There may be some hope.

14. Government has been increasingly against the will of the people since 1969

and I'm afraid both parties are to blame, although the lion's share of the mischief certainly belongs to the Republicans, a political party that has devolved into a racketeering organization backed by a handful of billionaires here and abroad. Looks like ole Tucker has finally noticed.

Never fear, he'll be handed an old brandy and fine cigar and be talked to and he'll fall back into line. If he doesn't, his time slot will be something like 4 AM-5 AM Eastern and eventually he'll simply disappear off the air, his contract and non competition agreements keeping him quiet on the subject.

My guess is that he'll go back to being a good company man, those golden handcuffs at Pox News are stronger than patriotism, the nagging pull of reality, or even self preservation.

Shepard Smith was the only one with enough integrity to walk away once he had a bellyful of lying to keep a malignant narcissist with Putin holding his balls in power.

16. I think our goverment ITSELF is not the will of the people

most people certainly did not vote for Donald Fucking Trump (and they didn't for Dubya either) - throw in gerrymandering, voter suppression and the ANTIQUATED, OUTDATED Electoral college and we get conservatives we don't want making decisions that are not in our best interest. AND they're poisoning the courts - all the way up to the Supreme Court. IT SUCKS.

15. This tells me he knows exactly how mendaciously shitty his usual shtick is. (n/t)
