because I cant stand listening to, or looking at that slimy little slug, Carlson, I imagine he wants to celebrate the autocratic government of Hungary, and sing the praises of the fascist PM Victor Orban.

So no, I'll pass on this clip, Rhiannon. Tucker is preparing his viewers for the wonderful new type of government we can all enjoy in the U.S. if we'll only listen to the voice of republican fascist "reason".

Pardon my choice of verbs, but fuck Tucker Carlson, the slimy little traitor.

And a comparison to the similar movement occurring now here.

I watched it. I wasn't too far off on Carlson's "reasons" for broadcasting from Hungary, though.

That little fascist bastard pisses me off. Fox is evil, they truly are. How can they allow crap like this being presented as "news"?

OK, rant off. I feel my blood pressure rising, and it's too early in the day to punish my heart this way.

Have a wonderful day, Rhiannon.

But this MSNBC segment mentioned his idiocy as just an introduction into a discussion into what's currently happening in this country. The country would be a lot better off if anything billed as "news" would be required to tell the truth. But if they got rid of Fox, those looking for a replacement would just turn to something worse, like OAN - or whatever other propaganda site has sprung up. I really don't see the point of having an ill-informed nation.

And you have a wonderful day, too, my friend! And you should know that I wouldn't post idiocy, I usually only watch MSNBC - or Colbert who has the same point of view.

I always look forward to you posting the Borowitz report. It's funny how some people haven't caught on to the sarcasm of Borowitz, and get uncontrollably irate when you post one.

As I age it takes less and less to tickle my funny bone.

Take care of eastern New York, OK?

He is profiting from this; who from?
Notice Repub McKinnon never responded to Calloway's callout of RepubliQan white supremacy.

Thanks for posting this. We are nowhere near out of the woods yet.
