    Cucker Carlson finished his Putin’s Cumsock Tour and is now back to firmly attaching his mouth to Pedo Trump’s asshole like some kind of right wing remora fish.

      remora fish.

      So in case somebody else here doesn’t know squat about remoras, I went on Wikipedia and found out that they’re fish that attach themselves to a host animal in a mutualistic arrangement. They remove ectoparasites and loose flakes of skin etc, and their diet is mainly composed of the host animal’s shit.

    This is actually an example of one of my fears - that even down to the fucking Tuckers they are using their found idiot and his wake of voters to get into power and will be rid of him at the first opportunity.

    And here’s the controversial part - they will make hay out of his removal after planning it. And by hay I mean war.

      Would a Vice President killing a President be an official act that grants immunity under the supreme court’s new “laws don’t apply to presidents” bullshit?

      What if Vance uses the 25th amendment on Trump, then becomes president? He can do anything at that point.

        Vice President killing a President

        Vance killing the president is now on my Bingo card.

        Vice president doing it wouldn’t be but once he kills the president, he is automatically president per the 25th amendment. Then he just pardons himself. Bam, criminally immune. And pardon power is in article 2, can’t be questioned, automatically an official act with presumptive immunity.

        This supreme court ruling is so dumb.

        Using the 25th amendment to remove a living president would require cooperation of the cabinet and congress (if Trump contests the removal).

      I don’t think there’s a reason to try to get rid of Trump. I imagine he’s easily controllable since he has no apparent ideology, and is just a greedy narcissist. So, money and praise should be enough.

    Tucker changed his mind about Trump when he told Trump that Russia had shopping carts and fresh bread in their supermarkets and Trump was amazed.

    Does he even have bone spurs?

    Fucking draft dodger.

    (I respect and admire people who dodged as conscientious objectors. But that’s not trump.)

      FWIW my dad was drafted and couldn’t afford bone spurs. But he absolutely respected Muhammad Ali for standing up for what he genuinely believed in and exercising his right.

      But agreed - that is not Trump.

        Exactly.

        The kind who dodged (or went to jail,) because of their convictions- courageous, and have as much respect in my eyes as anyone else. (And then there’s the hacksaw ridge guy. Geeze, I can’t even fathom that level of insanity. Desmond Doss.)

        Trump bought his way out because he was a rich coward.

        My uncle was able to escape at the last minute by getting accepted to a Canadian university. He eventually became a Canadian citizen, although he did finally come back (and got a U.S. federal government job, no less) after Clinton forgave all the people who fled the Vietnam draft. He’s back in Canada now that he’s retired.

        He still holds his draft card in his wallet though.

          I asked my Dad about his thoughts on Clinton dodging. He said he was fine with it because he was very intelligent and a Rhodes Scholar, that his talents were needed elsewhere (mind you, this was the 90’s and before we knew a lot of what we know now).

          It made me sad when he said it, like he didn’t consider himself “good enough” or have a good excuse to try and avoid going.

          That’s a cool story though, I’m glad everything turned out okay for him in the end.

            At least your dad felt that way about people who avoided the draft. There are plenty of people who felt the opposite way of your dad and derided Clinton for being a draft dodger (while forgiving Trump for it).

            But I’m sorry he ended up having to go. I wish no one had to go.

    I would prefer to learn my news from a Mexican Novella styled news show where the actors and actresses intersperse their lines and slapping basterds with current events, sports, the weather, and entertainment news.

    Unpopular Opinion:

    I think Tucker Carlson is a piece-of shit and a coward. That said, there is no contadiction in someone hating the bravest person they know.
