Has he ever poisoned me with polonium?

Indirectly or directly, Swanson has to be taking Putin’s ruble. This level of overt dedication to licking the autocrat’s arse can’t simply be but down to a shared affinity for white supremacy and gay-bashing.

I wonder whom all Tucker met at fascist summer camp in Hungary.

Well yeah, I don’t bash my boss’ boss either. Not good for the career right?

Funny you should mention Salisbury. Folks who live there know what happens to those who disagree with Putin. Poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal - Wikipedia

I humbly offer my services to kick Tucker until the Rubles start coming outa his nose.

It may be worth asking yourself… why do I hate Putin… Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him?

Hooooooly shit. Leaving aside the whole “What has Hitler/this serial killer ever done to me!?” argument here… Actually no: Fuck me, this is just straight up the racist white dude version of the quote attributed to Mohammed Ali, “I got no quarrel with the Vietcong. No Vietcong ever called me n*gger.” He’s identifying and appealing to the racist old people who watch Fox and their greatest fear, what they feel is their “persecution.” Instead of being the subject of vicious discrimination and abuse, they’re upset about being… accurately labeled. They’re upset their racist abuse of others might have consequences. And this is his defense of Putin? “Sure, he might be a terrible dictator who has killed and persecuted a bunch of people, but he hasn’t done anything to me (implication: he’s a fascist on my side against the woke lefties! Go kill 'em Putin!)” I just… I… words fail me. Fucker would have been right at home at the Daily Mail cheerleading for Hitler in the '30s.

Like Saddam’s chemical weapons, the Russian Army is a myth invented by Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney?

Putin probably believes that it’s time to get over the “so called end to” the cold war.

What has Hitler ever done to me? John Wayne Gavey never threatened to have me fired.

He’s really got this routine down pat. Go slow enough, plausibly deniably enough (really more like a fig leaf), and don’t attack too close of NATO allies, and eventually you can just take back parts of the soviet union with a modicum of displeasure from the US and other European allies. Because nobody has the appetite for a direct confrontation with Russia, despite the likelihood we will win.

It’s like kids at school letting a bully pick on the nerdy kid. “Hey stop, that’s wrong”, but they don’t want to come to save him, because bullies fight dirty and it’s going to be some pain to win that fight.

Right? If he really wanted to rile the right-wing rage Tucker would’ve asked, “is he a vegan?”

/s

Srsly, though, the more clips I see of this guy’s show, the less I can respectfully engage with anyone who watches that shit.
