“You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time – I will be,” Tucker Carlson said. “And I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional, that’s all I’ll say.”

Though Carlson in 1999 had referred to Trump as “the single most repulsive person on the planet”, he beat most pundits in calling for Trump to be taken seriously before he won his first presidency in 2016.

Trump recently published a social media post calling Carlson “a Low IQ person – Always easy to beat, and highly overrated!!!”

FFS now I agree with Trump ?

    Well, you sure are the hopefull sort… me? Not so much. Who do you forsee going to jail? I doubt anyone is getting more than a slap on the wrist, or much more than a Tucker Carlson style “I guess we shouldnt have done that… but we didnt mean it” style apology, if that. Death sentence? Hahaha not happening.

    But heres to you mate! Never wished I was on the wrong side of a discussion more than now.

      YOU are the problem. If you keep telling politicians that you expect them to do nothing, that’s exactly what they’ll do. They just go back to their insider trading, and ignore you, like you told them to do. Don’t give them permission to be incompetent.

      We should be telling them every chance we get that we will absolutely NOT tolerate their political cowardice any longer. We are in the mood for change, and we will gladly swap out any recalcitrant Democrats, right along with the MAGAs.

      And they are getting the message. Last Fall, as Americans were going hungry, they stuck with the shutdown, until it hit the airports, and their wealthy campaign donors couldn’t maneuver their operatives around the country. So the Dems fully surrendered, with nothing in return, and the Dem voters went NUTS, and it scared them, especially Jeffries. Schumer is too blinded by his greed and allegiance to Israel to umderstand how much he is despised. When this is over, he deserves a noose as much as any MAGA.

      So this time when the shutdown hit the airports, the Dems knew to just let it play out, and it was glorious. It only hurt those flying during Spring Break, which is mostly rich people anyway. They were forced to stand in line for hours, contemplating the wisdom of their MAGA vote. This time the shutdown hurt MAGA as intended, and it continues to hurt them.

      We need to apply a LOT more pain on both sides, and make them FEAR our massive angry numbers more than they fear the tiny minority of wealthy. Then we can force them to submit to our demands when we take the government back.

        The way to cause pain on both sides is to primary the Democrats who aren’t helping and vote against all Republicans because none of them are helping. If you vote against Democrats in the general election, you are not causing pain to both sides. You’re telling Republicans to continue.
