Tucker Carlson Should Put His Name On The Kill List
Okay, so here’s the deal.
No, seriously.
Trump took Tucker Carlson to North Korea instead of John Bolton. He shipped Bolton off to Mongolia during the trip. Quit shaking your head. It makes perfect sense. If you’re pint of alcohol short of a craft beer, it makes perfectly good sense.
In the bell curve of crazy Bolton stands on one end and Carlson on the other. Between them, they’ve got the whole damn bell covered.
So, after the Trump trip, Carlson wimp-splained the situation.
The frequent Trump ally said there “is no defending the North Korean regime, which is a monstrous regime. It is the last really Stalinist regime in the whole world. It is a disgusting place, obviously.”
“On the other hand, you’ve got to be honest about what it means to lead a country. It means killing people,” Carlson continued. “Not on the scale the North Koreans do, but a lot of countries commit atrocities, including a number that we are closely allied with.”
Then Carlson uses a stick to try to make Trump look like a fan of democracy.
Carlson said he thinks Trump sees Kim as a “competent, scrappy guy,” though “he’s not an admirer of the atrocities he’s committed, obviously.”
Obviously? No, not obviously. All Trump has ever done is talk about the love between him and KJU. The only thing obvious is that Tump would love to be able to kill people.
Want a refill on that Kool-aid, Tucker?
Showtime started airing The Loudest Voice last night – worth watching. I can only imagine that Roger Ailes is smiling in his grave and Rupert Murdoch is tiring to figure out what to do about the tiger at the other end of the tail that he’s holding!
1Come the revolution.—Carlson will look good standing up at the wall. What a J— Off.
2Trump Reportedly Demanding Military Tanks as Props for July Fourth Address on National Mall
The event, wrote one critic, “is poised to be one of the gaudiest, most over-the-top displays of jingoism in American history.”
I cannot imagine a more antipodal event of attempted denial of tiny hands/penis size, combined with surly crowds and discount outlet fireworks sales.
Perhaps a Lincoln Memorial party gate crash by (insert malcontents here).

3I don’t know about the rest of Air Force 1, but there sure was a lot of turbulence in Tucker’s brain on those flights to and from Asia.
4You might think Kim or Trump are bad guys, but compared to what Bush did in Iraq, or Obama in Libya, or LBJ in Vietnam, they’re innocents.
The classic question here is “Why do you pick the mote out of Kim’s eye, and ignore the beam in your own?”
…or is that just for Sunday school now?
5What’s obvious is that tRump allies and supporters will excuse literally ANYTHING Fat Donnies says or does.
On the plus side, this whittles down both Fat Donnie’s base, and “Friar Tuck” Carlson’s audience.
You go, Fat Donnie!
6Adam Eran @5: You’re right, but I raised hell about all three of those previous wars, and see no reason to give Trump a pass just because he’s more stupid than all three of those previous presidents.
As for the mote/beam: you’re right, it’s just for Sunday school and apparently has been for the past few thousand years. At this point, all I want is a President with at least the sense that God gave dumb animals.

“A century ago, America had an articulate and educated president who understood the strategic necessity of sea power….More, Roosevelt, despite being born to privilege was always and ever aware of his responsibility as a leader to both the nation and to history…
Today, America is being lectured on naval strategy by a guy who doesn’t know the difference between “straights” and “strait.”…Donald Trump sees everything in terms of money. For him power is merely a means to profit, and profit means more power….
Our president, like far too many American leaders, is an ignorant fool. He is the product of privilege without responsibility, of power without education or temper, of might without compassion or empathy. “
8Which is the mammary gland filled with cool-aide for the republi-cons & -can’ts?
We need to keep it filled for them.
9“The only thing obvious is that Tump would love to be able to kill people.”
