“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 ?
“I didn’t vote for this!”
Seppuku time, Mr.Carlson.
In case of Tucker, unless he’s ready to dump previously unknown information on his (former) cohorts, I don’t think he can be forgiven. He’s not some small figure, a leftist content creator that did a few mistakes in his career, or a former edgy teen obsessed with “funny slurs”, he is a very well known right-wing talking head.
It’s the explanation for every right winger: you’re either a moron, or evil, thought most commonly a good mix of both.
The ones in the former camp need to repeatedly “learn from their mistakes”. Unless you’re in the latter category, one would think that any reasonable person should think “maybe opinions on how to do things is better left to others”, but alas, a lack of such processes is a requirement for the moron bit.
Never forget what they did, my American compatriots. Never forget.
They lied. They gaslit. They tried to break us.
Never forget.
Every supporter must be held accountable.
no he isnt, its like magats regretting voting for trump, or caitlyn jenner wants help soley for her trans problem. or roegan trying to play a never trumper.
“It was not intentional.”
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you. Don’t you dare try to retcon your selfish, evil, greedy contributions to the suffering of thousands (millions?). No quarter for anyone who harbored these selfish fucks.
I guess he’s just not making as much money / as popular as when he was on TV and hates not being in the spotlight. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Trump and never has.
No he is much more popular. He’s just aligning with most of the anti-Zionist anti-trump population in America.
Tormented he’s not invited to the party.
They are seeing that the end is finally coming into focus, and not only is MAGA going to be on the losing side, it’s quickly becoming inevitable. And that end is going to be very, very ugly, with a lot of prison sentences, and perhaps even some death sentences.
So the slyest rats are starting to jump ship, while there is still a chance to grab some floating debris to escape on. He’s just the first of many to follow.
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 People lose. Always.
The few may go to jail for a bit. But they will live better in jail than millions of people they stole from.
They stole the present and the future, while trying to rewrite the past.
The society and economy left in the aftermath of these cancerous personalities is going to piss me off on the daily.
Tucker Carsalesman:
- 2003: “Please Buy the Iraq War”
- 2015: “I regret selling you the Iraq War, please buy this Trump”
- 2026: “I Regret selling you this Trump, please buy this white nationalism”
Looks like the right wing grift isn’t working for this twat anymore and he wants to see if he can apologize his way into left wing grifting, or maybe just back into polite society.
Sorry bud, the average IQ on this side of the aisle is too high.
putins right wing grifters(poole, shapiro, peterson,etc, even roegan) seem awfully quiet as of late, they are waiting how to pivot against trump while maintaining the grift of the right.
Not left wing grifting. His most recent stuff has been platforming Nazi dog whistles for Holocaust denial.
I think the hope is that Trump dies, and Vance plays their fascist demagogue.
In a few months, these people will have always been against Trump, and they’ll hate us when we call them on it, because despite everything they’ve done so far, they still think they’re better off than with a Democrat in charge.
Tucker Carlson doesn’t disagree with anything Trump has done, he’s just smart enough to tell when to jump ship. This is a strategic move
they still think they’re better off than with a Democrat in charge
“I would have voted for Jim Webb” is a thing I’ve heard conservative asshats tell me on a regular basis.
No raindrop thinks they’re to blame for the flood.
No raindrop is. The flood is a consequence of the land’s ability to drain water relative to the size of the deluge. Blaming individual raindrops is foolish.
I too am very intelligent.
My bad for posting a metaphor on Lemmy. Are you doing a bit right now, like autism blackface or something? Did the Big Bang Theory send you?
Maybe he’s doing a metaphor too? I keep trying to piece it together: “so like the landscape, yeah, is like america, right? No wait, is it democracy? Hmm… Is this guy just talking about actual stormwater mitigation?”
Saw a clip earlier that was coincidentally perfectly topical here: https://imgur.com/gallery/they-knew-they-all-knew-0HTmIvw
I’ll take it. Admitting a mistake is the first step in healing.
The first step in healing is recognizing you even have a wound i guess, but next is cleaning out the wound. Americans have typically just skipped this step in the past and gone straight to believing that recognition was the healing.
