I remember back in the day when Tucker had a nightly show on MNBC a time when I watched there was not much that I agreed with but from time to time I thought he made a few good points. Then MSNBC kicked him to the curd and he circled the drain for awhile before sliding down the drain into the sewer that was FOX News then there was nothing coming from his mouth that was anything but sewer sludge….then FOX also kicked him to the curb and now he is wandering around searching for that audience he once had….
In the days after the blowhard was shot there has been a wealth of rhetoric especially from Little Donny Do-Little…..he is doing everything he can to subvert any opposition to his restrictive policies….
Then out of the dark Tucker shows up and once again let his thoughts be known….
Tucker Carlson’s volatile relationship with President Trump may have just cycled back to being a critical one, this time centered on the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and the Trump administration’s reaction to it. The former Fox News host’s main beef: the government’s targeting of anyone criticizing Kirk in the wake of his death—a targeting that Carlson says infringes on Americans’ First Amendment rights, per the Independent. “You hope that a year from now, the turmoil we’re seeing in the aftermath of his murder won’t be leveraged to bring hate speech laws to this country,” Carlson said on a Wednesday edition of his online show, calling Kirk a “free speech champion.”
And if those laws do come to pass? “If that does happen, there is never a more justified moment for civil disobedience than that, ever,” Carlson noted. “And there never will be. Because if they can tell you what to say, they’re telling you what to think.” And at that point, “there is nothing they can’t do to you, because they don’t consider you human,” Carlson added, per Newsweek. “They don’t believe you have a soul.” The Independent notes that Carlson’s diatribe seemed to target Attorney General Pam Bondi more than Trump himself, after Bondi made comments suggesting the DOJ would target hate speech in America.
Carlson added of Bondi’s remarks that maybe she “didn’t think it through and was not attempting to desecrate the memory of the person she was purporting to celebrate.” The Latin Times notes that the US “does not have a ‘hate speech’ exception to the First Amendment, meaning most forms of such expression cannot be punished by the government.”
Once again I find myself agreeing with Tucker at least on this issue….
Time for civil disobedience is now.

“lego ergo scribo”
His show is not on air over here, so I know little about him. That’s okay with me.
Best wishes, Pete.
i could never stand the man and just slid by him on TV. Now we don’t have that…
It does seem that the longer Charlie Kirk is dead the higher his credibility rating as a human being is rising at one end. and dipping at the other. Damn all he’s a human teeter totter.
Martyrdom is what they are hoping for and the media is assisting on that. chuq
He is a tool….will change his spots to make a buck…..but I agree with him on this situation. chuq
Civil disobedience at this stage of the game is only going to bring the wrath of the right wing down on those who do the disobedience as well as those who support the disobedient ones or who speak nice things about them or who promote or agree with civil disobedience… and it begins with identifying and segregating all people who are associated with the democrats or progressives or anybody else in disagreement with the government…so at this point civil disobedience is an act of well…..call it for what it is …..internment or termination.
Nothing tried, nothing gained….and that is what the cowards are hoping for…..submission is the highest form of cowardice. chuq
agreed. I have for years pretended Tucker Carlson did not exist, and finally he’s making sense. Then again, the cynic taps me on the shoulder and says, quietly, “does Tucker see this as a path possibly leading toward him? Possibly?”
Opportunistic bastard….is the best thing I can say. chuq
