    Forgive me if I don't share your view of Carlson and his journalistic chops. Perhaps you need reminding of the text that got him fired...

    Tucker Carlson’s Text to a Producer

    EXHIBIT 276
    Tucker Carlson January 7, 2021 — 04:18:04 PM UTC

    A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington. A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living **** out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It’s not how white men fight. Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it. Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn’t good for me. I’m becoming something I don’t want to be. The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I’m sure I’d hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn’t gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?

    I won’t bother to repeat myself. You’ve asked similar questions and been buried in documentation. I’ll be happy to hear if you insist.

    Trump’s act of “questioning” foreign aid is nothing more than a sop to isolationist parochial America. He’s saying the same thing Charles Lindbergh did in 1941, and to the sons and daughters of the same audience.

    That is an honest accounting of how he felt. And he was in the final analysis ashamed of his “hating” the kid because of the kid’s group affiliation and realizing that thd kid was a human being.

    BTW Carlson was not fired. His show was canceled presumably as part of the Fox News settlement regarding the Dominion Voting Machine issue. Carlson continued to receive his Fox salary until the end of his contract which might be still going on.

    So you have no proof or evidence that Trump has told Ukraine to throw down their arms and. surrender.

    And you have no proof or evidence that Trump would not expand natural gas production and the supply of LNG to Europe as he has done and offered when he was President.

    Questioning specific instances is isolationism?

    It sure is an honest accounting - I'll give him credit for that. But he blew his 'final analysis' when he suggested that someone 'probably' loved the kid. And saying that reducing people to their politics makes him no better than the kid he watched getting beaten up.

    We could use a little isolationism.

    I don’t believe Trump has any intention of following an isolationist foreign policy. He’s not smart enough. Like so many issues, he and dumb Joe are one.

    Please read…it’s about money as always.


    After eastern Europe was peacefully liberated in 1991, however, this Captive Nations gambit became self-evidently obsolete, but the Clinton Administration soon had a handy PR substitute. Namely, NATO membership for the woebegone remnants of the Warsaw Pact—a seemingly harmless gesture that had no real purpose other than to express solidarity with back home constituencies of eastern European descent.

    NATO expansion, in effect, was a way for Washington politicians to say: We are still with you!

    Indeed, since there was no plausible reason for maintaining a war alliance against an enemy that didn’t exist, NATO became the equivalent of a diplomatic American Legion hall. It was a place for bureaucratic veterans of the Cold War to swap combat stories and to pretend they still had something worthwhile to do.

    Unfortunately, it didn’t stay that harmless. The military-industrial complex soon realized that it needed a tangible enemy to justify current procurement and new weapons systems and also that the former Captive Nations comprised an expanded market for its wares.

    So the 14 new NATO nations formed a ready-made shopping mall for additional weapons sales.

    His analysis says exactly the opposite of what you claim. He acknowledges his imperfection as a human being influenced by the violence which antifa has perpetrated especially against Andy Ngo. But then he shows that as a human he is capable of realizing his human failures and correcting them:

    You claimed that he was fired over this statement??

    Generally you are learning how the opposition thinks- and how they see you. You may not realize it, but those are distinct advantages.

    One of Putins comments was this-

    "America goes around the world caring about and defending borders, but fails to protect it's own, and that's deadly."

    He's obviously an intelligent man; he sees what a lot of Americans don't.
    Chances are there's a lot more of our mistakes he sees, and learns about our weaknesses in the process.

    Of course I realize that. Almost to a man, righties do this "you lefties may not know/think about/realize/know -------". Why do you do this?

    He's an intelligent man. He's manipulating those of us who let him. One of the people who assists him and knows better is Tucker "Lying *******" Carlson. Hard-hitting journalism, to be sure.

    We are in a time where civility itself is under attack, and the idea that we must be able to respect ourselves seems to have been lost by many.
    The difference between the civil and uncivil people is in how they allow their emotional reactions to dictate the actions they take.

    Such things are suggested because many positions and statements of the left imply that they may not know. The alternate belief is that they do know- but don't care or lack the values that should alter the view.
    To assume they don't know- is to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    IF people can talk honestly about differences, the possibility of compromise, of understanding, or even agreement is open. If they approach everything with a chip on the shoulder, the atmosphere is totally adversary and nothing of value can come of it.

    When you start a conversation by insulting the person you speak to, what follows will not be a conversation at all, and will not be productive in any way.

    You recall the Dominion defamation case against Fox and Tucker's admissions in emails and texts which were released as part of that case, right? He's a LYING LIAR WHO TELLS LIES. There's no serious question about that.

    Hell, no---he's not manipulating me. I know better; there's a whole mass of posters here who are manipulated by him, who apparently don't know any better. Yes, congrats to Tucker for giving a murdering dictator a forum. Yay!

    We already knew who Putin was and didn't need an ass-kisser to magically reveal it.

    No, I don't remember any admission by Tucker that he lies. What are you talking about?

    Which posters have been manipulated by Tucker's interview with Putin? You claim that there are a mass of posters here. Please give examples.

    And now we know more about Putin. Thanks Tucker. Hopefully he does more of this.

    Oh Lord. You're more forgetful than Ben Hur says that Biden is. I won't name names---that's against the rules here. We know who they are.

    There is nothing in that link (you gave the same article twice) where Carlson admits to lying. And you won’t name names but claim masses.

    You have nothing.

    The thing about faith based narratives is that facts don’t matter.

    I wonder what exactly he was thinking posting a link that was the complete opposite of his claims.

    So typical. So cliche.

    This kind of delusional thinking occurs with every war. Dupes of the state always support war and call those who oppose war traitors.
