Throw dog shit at him if you see him in person

If "we" were like "them", we would be chortling right now at the prospect of "them" cutting off aid to Ukraine and handing Putin a giant victory. "We can really beat them over the head with that in November!" "we'd" say.

Thank Jesus, Buddha, and the cloud, we're not like them. Hope it's enough to avert this particular catastrophe.

Pitiful Candace Owens tweeted that Fucker is a “national treasure.”

She sure is right. The only caveat here: which nation exactly?

Expand full comment

Yep, a Russian national treasure. They don't call him "Our Tucker" for nothing.

Actually, what I hear is that he gets mocked frequently, not only by Putin, but also their state media.

They all know he is just a clueless ugly puppy.

Yes. The Russians are mocking him, when they call him that. Russians are Jedi-level snark masters, who know Tucker is a worthless traitor to his own country and they will exploit it to the hilt, same as with Tangeranus.

So ultimately the end game for Carlson is to protect his wealth. As white conservatives lose their power and as global warming heats up with all its attendant migration and other catastrophes, Tucker is betting that a good old fascist dicktator in the US is his best bet to protect his enormous wealth for himself and his children. Yet, he is a lot more likely to lose his wealth from an unstable dictator or its aftermath. I believe that this is the belief of many billionaires and that is the reason they seem to support the end of democracy. Pure unmitigated evil greed.

I assume they plan to move to some gated community for the super rich in NZ, to live in their bunkers happily thereafter.

I would like a step by step plan so Canada can cheat off the EU’s paper here. He got in a few weeks back and riled up the premier of Alberta, who is a Known Dummy. He’s going to rile up our dumb SK premier if he comes back.

Is there anyone we could trade the Swanson heir for? Like a real journalist in Russia whose life is in danger?

Agree with your suggestion, but just for the record, he is not a Swanson heir, that was his stepmother, whose brother Gibby, stole her, and her sister's trust funds, and bankrupted the company which was then sold to General Foods who kept the name.

"Over the rest of that year, each of Gilbert Swanson's heirs signed a mountain of legal papers and estate documents prepared by the family lawyers. Ten years later in Federal court, Carla and Patricia would claim that they had done so with misleading or incomplete information. Patricia's allegedly blind endorsements included an addendum to her trust making Gibby a trustee and allowing Gibby and Jay to draw cash from her portion of one of the family's trusts...

Years later they took him to court:

The offer was refused in short order so Gibby tried another maneuver. According to family sources, he sent a message to the sisters in which he claimed to possess documents that could have a disastrous financial impact on them and that he was prepared to show the documents to the Internal Revenue Service unless an agreement was reached that would stop the court case and guarantee him $50,000 a year for life. Carla and Patricia ignored the threat as the case went to court.

Aside from the repetition of charges alleging incompetence and double‐dealing, the most enlightening information revealed during the Swanson's days in court last fall concerned Gilbert's current finances. Under oath, he listed $1.52 million in assets and $2.9 million in outstanding liabilities, including a $224,000 cumulative tax deficiency. Each month he was going more deeply into the red by close to $19,000. As of Sept. 1, 1978, Gilbert Swanson Jr., the principal heir to one of the largest fortunes of the Middle West, was, according to papers prepared by his accountants, insolvent....

On Dec. 14, 1978, a settlement of the Swanson family dispute was reported. The terms of the agreement have never officially been made public, but The Omaha‐World Herald reported that its key elements were the resignation of Gibby, Cecil Johnson and Gerald Sawall from the sisters’ trusts and the dissolution of the joint family holdings. Shortly after the settlement was made, it became clear that the Swansons were cashing in their chips. Before the turn of the year, the Swanson Indian Hills Theater, the Swanson Professional Building, some assorted plots of land, the Swanson Towers apartment complex and the family's Beebe and Runyon wholesale furniture business had all been sold. By New Year's day, Gilbert Swanson Jr. was hereditary president of an empire upon which the Middle Western sun had finally set.

Russia has electricity sometimes. So does Texas. Coincidence?

Tucker's so thirsty he's publicly crawling into bed with Putain (spelling intentional en la langue Francaise). Somehow, I don't think this will end well for him.

Better yet would be if he went to Russia and never returned.
