Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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!

So I'm assuming that Sinclair will be demanding that Tucker apologize and donate and that the FCC will be threatening to cancel his podcast.

I never thought I'd see the day where I agree with Fucker Carlson. Jesus.

LOL, no shit Tucker!

Your kind ALWAYS wanted to do that, no matter what the excuse is.

[–] blacklisted@lemmy.org 5 points 1 week ago

That's the thing with fascism. They believe it's never going to come after them until it is coming after them. Tucker must see some writing on the wall.

Ahw fuck, why does it have to be Carlson? I hate it when dumb evil mother fuckers like him make actual good point

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

They'll come for him soon enough.

"You hope that a year from now, the turmoil we're seeing in the aftermath of his murder won't be leveraged to bring hate speech laws to this country,” Carlson said Wednesday

Yeah it would really be a shame if free speech were to be trampled at some nebulous point in the future. Imagine if it were to happen now!

“And trust me, if it is, if that does happen, there is never a more justified moment for civil disobedience than that, ever. And there never will be,” the pundit added.

The most justified possible cause for civil disobedience in all of human history has been and will only ever be... hate speech laws. Jeez. I'm a white guy and even that level of privilege and arrogance is a little crazy.

“Because if they can tell you what to say, they're telling you what to think...There is nothing they can't do to you because they don't consider you human.”

He seems so close to getting it. So damn close. But considering the right's propensity for projection, it's probably just an illusion.

Whhaattttt?

How do you know Tucker Carlson is grifting? His lips are moving. Be careful, fellas. You know who this goon is. Just because you agree with him, doesnt mean there isnt an agenda at play with this fucker.
