Previously, Carlson said he had planned to sit-down with the Russia president while at Fox News but then called it off claiming the U.S. government was monitoring him.
“I tried to interview Vladimir Putin, and the U.S. government stopped me,” Carlson told the Swiss publication, Die Weltwoche back in September. “By the way, nobody defended me. I don’t think there was anybody in the news media who said, ‘Wait a second. I may not like this guy, but he has a right to interview anyone he wants, and we have a right to hear what Putin says.'”
Really makes you wonder what money is getting passed around on the back end to make these sniveling traitors kiss the ring of America’s biggest enemy since WWII.
Or komrompat. Or both.
What’s " komrompat"? Did you mean “kompromat”, short for “compromising materials”?
No, just got the first two syllables out of order. “Rom Com” Pat, a genre-specific movie critic who moonlights as an assassin for SMERSH.

Did Russia finally realize you can just buy these assholes for a trifling amount of money?
It’s only like 50k or 100k each in Lobby bribes and these fuckers will vote (or not vote) how you want.
Given like 20 million, you’ve basically bought half of the US government for a few years.

Another victim of return to the office
Joke of the year nominee here
“I guess I’m for democracy”
Cool. Now don’t let him come back.
How is this bitch not registered as a foreign agent?
Remember when this cunt’s show was cancelled by a single appearance of Jon Stewart
My favorite part of that incident is how Tucker keeps trying to get Jon Stewart to say something funny instead of something honest and Stewart just refuses to play that game.
Unfortunately, it only resulted in Tucker’s career getting bigger.
“It’s not so much that [your show] is ‘bad’. It’s that it’s hurting America.”
Prophetic words.

Eh Ukraine! If y’all have any missiles aimed that way, now would be a great time to fire them off.
Two birds, one stone.

Russian propagandists are fair game in war.
For sure - he poses a real, tactical threat to Ukraine. They’d be 100% justified in blowing his ass up.
Would be a shame if he had something trackable on him and they happened to fire a missile at him while he was interviewing Putin.
Guys, it was a job interview. He’s not a real journalist.
With any luck they’ll keep him.
Unironically, how great would it be if that loser officially takes a job in the Russian agitprop?
It would probably not be good. He’s very good at swaying right wing folks here in the US. He’d have more leeway over there.
He can throw himself on the mercies of Russia and Ukraine at the same time.
So, now that he’s an employee of the Kremlin, he gets to stay there permanently, right?
Let him out. Don’t let him back in.
Good idea.
Best possible take.
While I would fucking love for Putin to even do an interview with an unbiased journalist that’s not afraid of falling out of a 14th story window, this is not what’s going to happen.
This is gonna be like when Pierce Morgan all but deep throated Cristiano Ronaldo on camera
I loathe him so much. He really has a talent for speaking to rubes. His whole, “why should I dislike X? X hadn’t done anything to me, didn’t call me a racist,” perfectly speaks to his gullible idiots and verifies that it’s the world that is wrong and they’re correct and normal.
The heir to a massive family fortune acts like a man-of-the-people while wearing tailored suits and big-upping the wealthy and influential.
And his working-class Republican fans eat it up.
Just baffling.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Tucker [confused fart-smelling face]: “Is diversity truly our strength? What if I go to my hometown and there are people speaking Spanish on the streets? What if I go get a haircut and the barber cannot speak English?”
I can’t stand his “another person is talking” face. Close your damn mouth, pretend to listen and then unleash the torrent of verbal diarrhea that you invited your guest-prop on to receive.
Diversity has never been anyone’s strength. It’s an oxymoronic phrase. Straight diversity & random shit doesn’t automatically result in a stronger, superior, or better product; it is carefully calculated & rationed components that work towards an agreed upon, common goal that result in that result in strength or advantage.
“Diversity is our strength” is an unsubstantiated, mealy-mouthed, dumb as hell phrase to make everybody feel good. It’s not American, and frankly, not based in reality.
Threatening nuclear annihilation is all fun and games, but calling someone racist? That’s crossing the line.
The thing that freaked me out the most when I first heard him was how much he spoke like that villain from 1984 (I forgot his name). With doublespeak and shit, really freaked me out
I’d love to know who’s footing the bill for his trip.
Also, I thought the terms of is foxnews contract were such that he isn’t supposed to be doing any news anchoring type gigs - did something change?
Putin will be paying. This helps him.
I don’t think he works at Fox anymore, he’s got own thing going now in internet TV shit or something like that.
Sure, but I meant that after he was fired, he was/is still beholden to several contractual terms about non-competes for a set amount of time.
That is probably true and that is why he is doing his shit on twitter. Turns out that its very hard to enforce these contracts if nobody involved cares about the rules.
Fuck Tucker Carlson but also fuck non compete clauses, no one should care about them. I could be wrong, but I recall seeing something about them not even being enforceable anyways. A leaving worker can’t give up trade secrets or confidential information regardless of a non-compete, so the company already has protection for the stuff that’s justifiable.
I don’t even think Elon is paying since Tucker announced he was moving to his own streaming platform. But maybe this will be a Twitter video?
The us government would be stupid not to monitor him
The US government is stupid.
But the need to keep an eye on this guy anyway.
Because of course he is.
