The best part of this field trip is how YUUUUGE Tucky undoubtedly believed his interview score was. THIS would surely restore Tucker’s reputation and all the nutter networks would come calling. Except his “interview” flopped, it was mostly 2 tedious hours of Putin rambling about fantasy Russian history. It even bored and embarrassed Putin, who wasn’t able to show how strong and smart and ready he was. Tucker giggled and grinned and barely asked anything. Then he pretended Russia must be a utopia, because Moscow is fancy and groceries are like…HALF!…what they cost here! Nevermind the average annual income in Russia is about $12,000-$15,000 USD. 60% of Russians spend at least half their income on food. That’s a clear sign of a nation in trouble economically. Imagine a family of 4 here making $80,000 a year and spending $40,000 on food. Maybe it’s why Jason Chaffetz went on Fox News in November and cried about Biden raising the prices on whole frozen turkeys to $90. As usual, all bullshit. So, Treason Trips with Tucker is being laughed at by everyone here, and isn’t likely to become a series. “Weak sauce,” says Putin.

Putin's response when being introduced to Tucker Carlson:

Putin hates Tucker? Join the club Pootie. I am however very disappointed that Poot did not show Fucker “wery lovely penthouse apartment and oops! View of sidewalk wery buutivul close up!”

Also if Russia is freaking special why don’t you move there? At the rate your “journalism” career is going no one will miss you at all.

Evan Hurst,

'Putin referred to the CIA as “the organization you wanted to join back in the day, as I understand. We should thank God they didn’t let you in. Although it is a serious organization, I understand.” Ha ha!'(Evan Hurst, article)

Putin has nothing but contempt for these tools who willingly allow themselves to be used by him against their country's best interests. It's not surprising as traitors are among the LEAST respected of all people.

Putin prefers his blowjobs to be more manly than what Tucker Carlson gave him.

I've hated Tucker since his brief stint "writing" for Russ Smith's right wing rag, NY Press. Everyone hates Tucker. That's just science.

He'd probably never actually watched TC in action, just believed all the tripe his media has put out painting him as America's most influential communicator and opinion leader. Hard to imagine how he would have agreed to do the interview otherwise. Behind the scenes some heads are probably gonna roll for this one.

They actually used to rebroadcast him on... I believe it was Sputnik TV. I think they find him amusing.

I know... but Putin lives in a level of isolation where he may not even watch his own stuff, or at least not that much of it.

He's in favor of public transportation as long as we don't let 'those people' use it.

Right, the reason we CAN'T have public transportation, public health, or even public schools anymore is because of right wing white nationalist traitors... just like Bowtie Swanson here.

The cherry on top is Vlad saying he likes Biden better than Shitler because Biden is more predictable. Some think it was a diss at Biden, but I disagree. It was Vlad calling Shitler nutz.

I'm sure Tucker is ready to say good-bye to American degeneracy and migrate to the great white North! No reason to put it off, heck if he moves now he'll be ready for conscription for the spring offensive!

Isn't it amazing how contemptuous dictators are of the people who shamelessly toady to them?

Trump is the same way, which is why some of the obvious panting puppies like Stefanik or Kari Lake probably won't be VP. That's one more way in which Trump identifies with Putin. It's almost like a one-sided bromance, and could there be anything more pathetic?

"to be frank, I didn't get much pleasure from this interview."

In fairness, when Putin talks to actual journalist, they usually have a car battery clamped to their nipples.
