Tucker Carlson commits heresy!!!!!

Tucker Carlson is a Fox News opinion-monger who up until now, has been a fawning, drooling Trump lackey. However, last night (Friday), he was sharply critical of Trump's latest war move. He pointed out that for two decades, we've gotten involved in the Middle East--over and over and over--and each time, it's been far more expensive, lasted far longer, and cost many more lives than was expected.

Sean Hannity came on next and, as I predicted, whipped out his dick and started jerking off live to the latest Trump tweets, especially the one that claimed he had made the world safer by bombing the capital city of an ally in order to commit an assassination. He pretty much stated the exact opposite of each point Carlson had made.

This is unprecendented. Until now, the Trump propaganda network has marched in lockstep. Only very occasionally have we heard even a murmured mild criticism of Trump from any of those scumwad liars. I wonder what made Carlson diverge from the party orthodoxy?

Actually, as I was typing this, I remembered that there is a possible reason. Carlson has been making noises about a Presidential run. His thinking was that if Trump gets shot down before November, there would be a void (aka Pence) that he could step into. Thus, differentiating himself from Trump might be part of his long game.

Or it could be (I hope) simply that there's a limit to what Trump can do without starting to alienate his supporters after all. I don't mean our resident Trumptards, of course--they appear to be beyond redemption.

You mention in your opening sentence that Carlson is an “opinion monger” which is just what he did, give his opinion. He does not have to agree with Hannity on his opinions. Unlike CNN they can give a differing opinion then some on there network.

number 1 rated news network and it is not even close!

Fox News consistently supports Trump on "there" opinion segments as well as on "there" so-called news reporting. That's why Carlson's defection is so noteworthy. Also, note how Trump has always come down savagely against anyone who DARES to criticize him. This time, he was busy starting a war and cheating at golf, so he may not have noticed Carlson's heresy right away.

Fox "News" may have high ratings, but so what? That just means that there are a lot of morons who like it. People very often would rather hear lies that they like than truth that they don't.

Republicans don't express opinions as such. They just parrot whatever the party tells them to. Unless, of course, you REALLY think that all Republican senators, Congresspersons, news anchor, opinion pundits, and that drunken fool at the office Christmas party actually approve of everything Trump does.

Yep CNN will never ever give Trump credit for anything and Fox vice- verse they know their audience.

Nah, I do not agree with all Trump does or says but, the guy is getting shit accomplished that the others have not. We can agree to disagree on our political choices which is fine. Or hell, we would all drive white cars!

it's hilarious to say that Trump has "accomplished" anything, but sure, you can regard his various fuckups and crimes as "accomplishments" if you want.

The thing is, Trump's not a political choice, because he's not a politician. He's an ideological choice, and he's an ideologue/demagogue. The stark fact is that Trump is against standard Republican positions as much as he is for them. But he's found a way to appeal to the darkest parts of millions of Americans' souls. That transcends politics. The goons who laughed when Trump talked about shooting Mexicans across the border would have been equally delighted if Bernie had said it.

It's sad to think how conservatives used to be so much for the rule of law and our country's institutions, and now they've sold their souls to a deranged orangutan.

Kevin, you speak so poorly of the folks that are subsidizing your way of life.  How about a little gratitude.

And what do you think my "way of life" is? No one is "subsidizing" me. Don't try to build a straw man. That's a cheap, flaccid way of making a point.

Sure Kevin, we all believe you.

 I believe this describes Kevin ...

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
