I saw that ad - utterly bizarre and highly homo-erotic. Thank god for he-man Alpha male Tucker “take my lunch money” Carlsonski to tell us where we’ve been going wrong.
Some of the most udderly bizzarre shit I have ever seen. It also features guys milking cows.... but there is no bucket. WTF? It's OK Tucker, just say it....
Lions Fans.
Demanding Excellence since Pathetic Patricia Piddled the Pooch!
Tucker Carlson is an absolute cancer on US and world politics.
A wretched, bigoted POS pushing anti vaccine nonsense. I’m in Turkey right now and they had Russian State TV in the gym - they had Tucker Carlson and Hannity on repeat mocking Biden. Russia aren’t even bothering to edit It, just translate. They also played Carlson talking points about how Russia is the victim.
As a Brit and Atlanticist I hope the US get it together but I have very little faith. Divide and conquer. The US is riven, split in half. It’s not even just Trump although he exacerbated it - it was like that before. I think Bush and Gore was where ther fracture started and the chasm has just grown and grown. Endless hyper-partisan fighting while China marches on with 1.2 billion people united in the same brainwashed direction.

Well, I'd say it's more 1.2 billion people who are under no delusion about who is dictating the direction the country and know there's no real point in objecting. Eventually, they'll start cracking at the seams as well. It tends to happen with ANY population grouping at some point.
The MAGA stupid-fever is never going to break. While they might be a very strange logic-opposed minority, short of the will to excise this cancer, it is going to be a long slog waiting while they whither away under their own inability to function in reality.
Mother Tuckers be nuts. 1/3 of the US has literally lost their mind.
They think there are litter boxes in schools for furry kids, that pizzeria kiddie-diddler cabals are a thing (but fraud-a-lardoT is a saint), that Bill Gates put chips in a magnetizing vaccine - because ya know, they are so interesting to track (and obviously they don't have a cell phone), That JFK Jr. is going to literally RETURN FROM THE DEAD to re-instate the orange baboon to office or run as his VP. Jaysus.
Yeah, you right wingers, I fully support you lasering your balls. Do it. Dig an amateur oil well in your back yard. Don't get vaccinated. Go out with your buddies and play GI Joe with guns. Go down to the hospital entrance to protest and breathe the free air like a Man! And again..... Laser your balls! FreeDumb!!!!!!
I am shocked nobody has come in here yet to defend the MAGA nonsense. I guess it's true. Low T in America today. You fukkers aren't tanning yer balls enuff. You better get it together. You're a fukking meme.

This is worth the 3 minutes, but please scroll to 1:56 ; McGlashan's 40 billion is always superb!

It’s not just the US. We get it in the UK too - a lot of it has come out of the US though. There is no shared reality anymore and there is such mistrust of the “MSM” from some people think that “BasedPatriot” and “DrKekistan” on YouTube and Telegram are telling the real truth that the MSM don’t want you to hear about.
Now the media do lie and exaggerate, even politically. I remember watching US news networks going insane nightly about Trump/Russia, which turned out to be largely exaggerated (I always thought the notion of that chaotic shit show campaign being part of a huge international conspiracy was far-fetched) for example. But that doesn’t mean that a guy hawking hydroxychloroquine is telling the truth.
Its also clear that foreign adversaries are stoking this discord by using our relative freedoms against us and funding cranks all over the Western world. Putin has backed far right and far left politicians all over Europe. Imagine if we could freely pump information into Russia and China - both have become more authoritarian than ever while pushing conspiracy theories and nuttiness into the West’s body politic using a network of paid shills and useful idiots. The end result is that no one trusts anyone, liars are emboldened and the political systems break down in a post truth world.
It’s pretty depressing frankly and I don’t see how you can truly combat it. Trump winning again unconstrained by polls and an electorate would be a disaster in my opinion.
Just on the BBC News ……., (I hope none of you have “news fear” and avoid the news, apologies for this if you do)……., but this is serious shit. The Boots pharmacy has just revealed >> ON THE BBC NEWS << that women are growing their hair longer and no longer washing their hair as much.
“Ah fuck, missed the news. Whats happening in Eastern Ukraine today? Mariupol been taken yet?”
”They didnt say. But listen, if you need any coconut flavoured hair rinse with aloe and cojoba, Boots is the place to go. They got a shed load o the shit.”
(thats flavored for Jaadam)
"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”
I mean, I understand the lack of faith in the news for its biases. What's baffling is how that translates into getting your info from even less credible sources and believing it unquestionably.
Because it truly doesn't matter what the source is or its credibility. All that matters is that it tells them what they want to hear in the first place.
They aren't looking for information. They are searching for validation.
Dunno like…….. since my wife got the 3rd Covid booster, the Alexa thing can read her mind.
Just the other day we were sitting looking through our phones, all quiet, then it blurted out, “No Sacha, he’ll not make the dinner. Get off your arse and get it made woman.”
Definitely something going on!
