“and calling those candidates unqualified.”

Donald Trump? Mike Pence? The entire Trump Cabinet? Trump’s Daughter and Son-in-Law …?

Carlson can say these things. He has a black friend.

It were better that a millstone be hanged about his neck and he cast in the sea.

I’ll get started on the environmental impact report.

It’s only legal if you are choosing exclusively between white men. I’m pretty sure it’s in the Constitution, in the book of Hezikiah, chapter 8, verse 12.

I’m really hoping he suffers a stroke mid-broadcast in the very near future. He is daily apoplectic—about the craziest things.

At some level, this is probably correct. For example, if I was hiring staff and I set aside all resumes that were either white and/or male and disqualified them based solely on those criteria, it would probably be illegal.

But when the comment comes from Tucker, it’s just more racist drivel.

I grew up in a western suburb of Detroit, once known as “the whitest city in America over 100k population” (the “white flight” out of Detroit). Many of my still-close friends grew up in the same city. Golfing with them the other day, one of them said “I like Tucker, I usually agree with him.”

I was devastated. Heartbroken. Prior to that comment I considered him one of the most sane and reasonable friends I still have (his brother, another “close friend,” has gone off the Fundamentalist Christian deep-end).

This is what we are up against.

How about taking him way out to a sea buoy and chain him naked to it? I call it giving a guy the Ailsa. My local pub, you see.

24 hours of that would straighten him out.

Racism and misogyny combined in one disgusting package. For Tucker, that makes it a good day to be alive. He’s Just a bottom feeder in a heavily polluted swamp.

A couple weeks back there was a “Carlson for President” rumble in the media. It would be just like our electorate to put the silly racist bastard in the WH in 2024 after the GOP convinces everyone Biden failed to fix things and we need to return to retrogradeapalooza.

His parents must have been very disappoint with their new baby. “Let’s call him Tucker”. They must have known what he’d be called for the rest of his life.
