January 6th was just a tourist tour, according to Tucker’s sliced and diced version, so yeah.
TV dinner heir is the high salt content inside a crappy idiocracy media diet.
Needs a warning label.
Think about how stupid a person would have to be to tune into this cut-rate Goebbels’ show night after night.
The sad thing is, I don’t think even if convicted he will face any significant penalties, like actual jail time.
Now, if fucking Georgia would indict him for election tampering, that should have some actual teeth for penalties.
We are still a long way off from the election, and there is a lot that can happen in 2 years that will prevent him from winning the primary. Fingers crossed/knock on wood.
What Americans really want to know is, when is Tucker going to take that giant shit he’s been holding in? The pain has to be enormous. It’s clearly constipation of the worst order, just look at his face all screwed up all the time. And then to see how it’s completely ruining his mind. I’m just asking questions. I’m just trying to get to the bottom of them. When is Tucker going to seek help for his bowel movements?
The phrase “weaponization of the justice system” keeps popping up, it’s the new talking point they’re all using. A deliberate choice to pound it into the zeitgeist and our brains, I’m sure.
And yet the GOP “weaponized” congressional investigations from Ken Starr right up until Benghazi (and now Jim Jordan’s weaponized committee investigating the weaponization of the Justice Department.) They know there’s nothing to find, the committee exists to create soundbites and short video clips people like Carlson can use on his show.
Another fascist trying to make the Divine Right of Kings an American institution.
If the justice system is a weapon, doesn’t the Second Amendment that Fox “News” and the GOP holds so sacred require that our right to keep and bear it not be infringed? I mean Lady Justice carries scales and a sword for Pete’s sake.
Of course! Holding a wealthy white man accountable is far worse than trying to overthrow a government trying to hold wealthy white men accountable. Dammit.
34 charges of business fraud? Then there is no law and no justice in this country.
Well, not for the top tier.
It’s rail justice for the rest of us.
Bar metaphors make me thirsty.
These kind of crimes are ones even wealthy, well-connected White men go to prison for.
He didn’t have the US Congress running interference did he?
“In the early Trump years, there was initially some expression of support for the rule of law, some outrage at his immorality and indecency, his violence and vitriol, his lawlessness,” Schiff said. “Year after year that would give way, to the point where they’re rushing to defend someone accused of making hush money payments to a porn star.”
I didn’t know Congress had authority over…checks notes…the District Attorney of New York State?
Exactly. But, why do I have a feeling that it’s all standing on shaking stilts during a Cat 5 hurricane?
