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!

He's a nazi propagandist that turned against the nazi party because his version of nazism hates Israel for antisemitic reasons.

He is not a changed man. He is not becoming moderate. He is not progressive. He is not on our side. Do not fall for it.

Bullshit he "turned" on the GOP. He's just trying to save face and strategize. He's a snake, through and through. He'll be back to the grift in no time.

Fixed that clickbait for ya. It was Israel:

Carlson alleged during the June 18 podcast episode that Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign was “funded largely by people with loyalty to Israel.” 

He also asserted that the U.S. entered the war “because of pressure from the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.” 

“Knowing that is knowing that the U.S. government betrayed the United States. Like there’s no other way to read it,” Carlson added, noting he can no longer defend the party because it’s “immoral.”

Still a traitor

Like all the other current rats, he's positioning himself to appear more moderate than he has in the past, ready for a post-trump GOP. Also, he wants to be President and he can't do that unless he appeals to a broader base than he currently has.

He's also acting like he didn't have a major part in setting up the current regime and all it's predecessors.

Plus, he also said in this same conversation that he's not going to vote for Democrats, so this is really him just trying to pull the same shit that men pull on dating sites - "I'm apolitical", "I'm libertarian", etc.

Tucker Carlson's job is to get his name in the press. He used to be a somebody, now he says things on podcasts you've never heard of to get attention. The real question is: what is MTG doing this week?

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Joining suit.

$50 says they're going to try to form their own party called something fucking stupid like the "America IS Great" party or some shit. Probably going to poach all the people Trump fucked over and start pushing for elections in 2028.

... he said, while licking Putin’s boots.

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

Not Putin disliking Trump at the moment?

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

More money from Putin?

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Tucker Carlson will run for president as a Republican in 2928.

I have been consistently predicting this for 12 years now. Every year seems more and more likely.

[–] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

well by 2928 he will be in the right age demographics as all the people currently in power

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Lol whoops

2028*

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Is he bringing back the bow tie?

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

He'll get over it.
