"LEAVE HUNTER BIDEN ALONE!" says...Tucker Carlson?!

Tucker Carlson Suddenly Says It’s Time to Leave Hunter Biden Alone



There's much more to the article but I don't want to spam the forum.

These were my favorite parts -

After admitting that he had made copies of the documents before they were shipped out, Carlson continued in his conspiratorial vein on Thursday night, questioning UPS’ explanation that the contents of the package—a flash drive containing documents—had been found on Monday night after suffering a rather mundane mishap in which they came out of the package

So there WERE copies...and he lied about it to gin up fear and hate.

“I never thought Hunter Biden was a bad person,” he concluded. “I thought he had demons but in the time I knew him he kept them mostly under control. At some point, he lost control of those demons and the world knows that now. He's now humiliated and alone. Probably too strong to say we feel sorry for Hunter Biden, but the point is pounding on a man, jumping on, and piling on when he's already down is something we don't want to be involved in.”

And he feels bad about smearing the name of a private citizen and ginning up conspiracy theories. And you weren't afraid to pile on him earlier, you piece of shit.

Tucker Carlson is acting like the mouthpiece of a domestic terrorist.

There are zero "originalist" or "textualist" grounds for striking a law that expands the court.

Do you honestly think they won't twist their minds to make up some bullshit to try striking that law?

What do you bet the source of his "documents" was that supposed Martin Aspen. You know, the guy who doesn't exist? Odds are Tucker realized he got suckered by Russian disinformation and is trying to desperately run away from it before it gets out that he fell for it.

Carlson's just trying to save his ass from another slander lawsuit and having to admit, again, that he's full of bullshit under oath.

Yeah, think it is safe to say, that anything they had against Hunter Biden, was bullshit. No wonder they didn't want to go on the air with it.

So first, let me say that I agree with you. The Democrats owe the Retardicans nothing - nothing - in the coming legislative session. Those that sided with and propped up Dipshit-in-Chief should be categorically ignored. Any "problem" they bring up critique of the Democrats can be pushed aside like so much dog turds.

That being said, it can't hurt to pretend to get "bipartisan" input on issues. Biden can be of two minds - putting the Commission together - but also knowing that he won't listen to the advice at all, or even better, setting it up so that the outcome is preordained. That way he can look better to those in the country still making up their minds on the Biden Presidency (/knockwood).

In other words, there will be enough people willing to work on various projects that we can throw fodder to the GOP while at the same time trying to "recruit" non-Trump supporting moderates.

True enough, see if the Republicans will actually work to clean up their mess to save face and not just to try and sabotage it like they did with the ACA Amendments.

My thing is that there are no real republicans left in the party, they either all bent the knee to him or left. But yeah, let Biden offer them to help so long as he doesn't give them any position where they can mess it up, intentionally or otherwise but also anyone he offers them to must be thoroughly investigated and vetted given all they have done at this point.

To be honest, if I were Biden, I would only offer the help to new Republicans that replace incumbents and actually say that the current flock have proven themselves devoid of morals and untrustworthy to offer those jobs to. Watch the new crop being the only ones given any influence while the others whither in the minority party.

Inc major settlement over some kind of behavior at fox for Tucker? Its about time if you follow the patter of everyone hired there by the King pervert

Eh, I really have zero faith that the GOP politicians stand for... well, really anything but propagating their own power to enrich themselves and their buddies at this point. Any other pretense at morals exists only so they can create the barest pretense of opposing something the democrats are doing. Their excuses have become so utterly hollow, hypocritical and transparently self-serving (look no further than McConnell's actions with the supreme court justice replacement vis-a-vis Obama's nomination vs Trump's nomination) that I'm really not convinced that they have any moral fiber remaining between them.

Obama tried to be bipartisan; he tried to get them involved, and he was repaid in obstruction and attacks his entire eight years of presidency for it. And despite him trying to be Bipartisan and actually being so in many cases, the republicans spun his entire presidency as an example of a completely one-sided, runaway train of liberal socialist values that was destroying America. And if Biden wins and attempts to be Bipartisan, even simply to show good faith... the republicans aren't going to go along with that. They'll take whatever ground Biden gives them to obstruct and then do that exact same thing... claim Biden is being a liberal railroader ruining the country and pushing them, the GOP and "voice of the american people," out, no matter how much say they have in his proceedings. And those claims will work with the public, at least enough of them to have it be viable political ammo again come next election season.

Unless there's some serious hard-lined back room deal agreements between Biden and individual Republicans who essentially promise not to be horrendous shitbags, I say... keep them out of as much as you possibly can. No bipartisanship; they'll spin anything Biden does as being partisan anyway. So why even give them the time of day?

I don't think the republicans will ever see the writing on the wall. The ones that have left the republican party; the ones that remain, even if they dislike the direction of the party, are obviously too spineless and complicit to do anything about it to really be trusted. Not once throughout this entire Trump shitshow of a presidency have I seen republicans come out in any significant or meaningful way against Trump, and it's fairly obvious at this point that they hate him. We often talk about Trump being a symptom, and not the disease, and I agree... and I have no reason to believe that the republicans wont just go back to supporting someone as equally greedy, malicious or incompetent as Trump in the future, even should Biden win the presidency in November and effectively end Trump's power and any of the GOP's affinity to Trump.

Considering this time he made objective statements of fact, good luck with that. His TV shows are something he doesn't have -- evidence.

I wonder if legal had a chat with him about his "legally unfactual statements" and how they were pushing dangerously close to libel and defamation....

I would assume so since Hunter is not a public figure so Tucker doesn't have the same legal wiggle room he has if he was going after Joe instead.

That's a good point.

Carlson forced for any reason to back off the story just furthers the "there was no story". There is no legal issue with saying something you can prove is true.

Do you know what I just realized?

In the light of Jack Nicklaus "getting political" by endorsing Trump, why aren't conservatives telling him to "shut up and golf" like they do when athletes back other candidates?

I remember my dad was fond of Nicklaus back in the 90s and early 2000s; they're both left-handed and my dad has a real admiration for left-handed athletes.

He started to sour on Nicklaus when Nicklaus moved out of California simply to avoid paying taxes coming due on his millions. I'd imagine this has thoroughly put my dad off him for good.

That being said... multi-millionaire that does nothing but golf all day supports Trump? Who'da thought.

Probably the same reason they haven't told James Woods to stop Tweeting. He supports Trump, so he's "one of the good ones". (Yes I know I'm conflating athletes with celebrities but it's essentially the same thing.)

One of these days he'll stop being a filthy liar and actually quit Twitter for good when he gets booted off for violating the rules for the dozenth time or whatever.

God, the way that out of work actors like him use politics to cling to some sense of relevancy and try to maintain some kind of career is really sad. I actually looked him up and I guess he thinks Twitter is Hitler now. But he's still on Twitter. Jokes on him, he's voluntarily associating with a platform he views to be basically Hitler.

Seriously, the fuckin galaxy-level brains of some of these people truly astound me.

It's only bad when athletes and celebrities back Democrats.

I think he'll either end up dead from an overdose or get brought up on some sex-related charges. He just seems the type. The kind of shit he says these days is just fucking bonkers level and yeah, he never fucked off to Parler like all of the other MAGA cult on Twitter keep saying they're going to do (but never do).

I've liked some of his work in the past but lately whenever I think "James Woods" the only image I can seem to conjure is, well, this:

I'm just going to put that over here, next to Jack Niklaus "clarifies" remarks on blacks.

Golf was a sport with, um, "a certain class of people" pre Woods.

NO NOT HIM the other Woods.
