about Abu-Garib and all police shootings?

Now that the military is ordering GIs to get COVID19 shots, orders are up for debate?

but his need to attention is alarming. I remember when he was on CNN years ago and though he was incredibly annoying and smug, he wasn't extreme like he is now. Being on Fox tends to do that to people.

some sort of warning flashing on and off on the TV screen before assholes like Carlson, Ingraham and Hannity begin their programs.

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS ENTERTAINMENT, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED NEWS. THESE ARE THE OPINIONS OF THE HOSTS, AND THEIR GUESTS, AND DO NOT REFLECT THE OPINIONS OF THIS STATION OR THE NETWORK.
ENGAGING YOUR BRAIN BEFORE WATCHING IS ADVISED.


These fucking morons are getting people killed. Why the hell should I care if they're right-wing nut-jobs, right? They were human beings before they started out on Limbaugh, then graduated to Fox Noise. If they could be weaned off the hate and scare channels, maybe they could be real human beings again.

Since apparently only people who aren't sincere Christians, aren't free thinkers, don't have high testosterone levels, and who love Joe Biden, would allow themselves to be vaccinated!

It's a condition of employment in the Fox "News" studios.
So Tucker isn't any of those religious/macho things he's crying about.
Of course he won't tell his brain-dead viewers that.

Paraphrasing:
Most Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Mormons, etc say there is NO religious exemption in their faith's beliefs that would prevent their followers from being vaccinated,
and they urge folks to get vaccinated.

That the press-titutes working for Faux Noise would claim that people buffaloed by BS and peer pressure into refusing the vaccine are “free thinkers” is irony of epic proportions. Once upon a time, a very long time ago, back when I was in knee britches, one of the Republican Party’s selling points was that they were the party of clear-eyed realists, the people willing to modify their theories and policies when reality proved those theories wrong, the party of realism and reason. (Please don’t laugh, dear readers, this was a major faction of the Republican Party of over half a century ago). And there were just enough Republican politicians of that stripe to make such claims look realistic.

As we have seen, such claims began to lose credence with the rise of Reagan and turned into make-believe bunkum with the rise of people like Grover Morquist and Newt Gingrich.

Free thinking is a trait that hasn’t been encouraged in the Republican Party for over thirty years. The RINO hunters have seen to that.

There may be a handful of free-thinking Republican Party activists who know how to govern competently. At this point, I am forced to believe that the ones who remain are in their mid-nineties and older.

Their successors in the GQP are neither free thinkers or competent.

The biggest MAGAs are very insecure, not free thinkers at all, and have zero clue how a true Christian would behave.

Really?

He is getting more extreme. Is it possible to shut him down, legally?
Or is a drone strike called for?

Well, maybe not.
But an accidental disruption of power supply to the building wherever Tucker has his studio as soon as he appears on screens would be highly appropriate.
