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!

Carlson's loyalty to Putin is just an act. He's really there to assassinate Putin on Biden's orders.

Goddamit I wish that was true.

Imagine in the middle of his interview, Tucker LEAPS up and straddles Putin, tea-bagging him while plunging a frozen shard of Swanson TV dinner (chicken pot pie) into his guts repeatedly, all the while singing ‘Walking on Sunshine’.

I'd love to see it happen, might even put it on one of those digital picture frames on an endless loop. Putin will probably get greenscreened over a body double though (to avoid issues with passing through solid objects).

We need to start this conspiracy theory. Tucker is actually a deep deep state asset working as a double agent on Bidens behalf.

Does someone not like the idea of using their insanity and ability to believe anything against them? Too bad because it's time to fight fire with fire. Let's get them thinking they don't know who to trust because everyone (including themselves) are part of the deep state conspiracy.

I think you're a little late to the party on that one.

I don't think so. They are definitely on the path to having the equivalent of a logic circuit burnout but they aren't there just yet and we need to stoke that fire.
