“initiate him into the ways of adulthood”

I don’t think of myself as that much of a prude, but good God. Among other things, adulthood to me is about more than banging naughties, to say nothing of “initiate”… I need a walk, or more likely a shower.

Talking nasty challenging laws about age of consent (rape) with White Nationalist organizer (since “retired”?)

Quaint. Such the charmer.

I am sure this news will up you favorabiliy ratings with the White Nationalists and incels.

Just what happens in the Carlson household?

Teenage boys, and girls for that matter, have a sex drive - it isn’t a drive “to procreate” - and masturbation or hooking up is the normal way teens deal with it. F*cking teachers or other adults is not.

This is very much like the sick statements from that Milo guy who lost his day job and a book deal.

FTucker needs to lose his show now.

The sick reality is that Tucker Carlson probably is jealous of the Jeffs of the World. Subservient young women, staying at home, with no opinions, too young to be able to realize how fucked up it all is. It is right up his ally, and probably the core of his view ship (not the young women, the old dumb white dudes who yearn for the good old days).

Child-Rape Advocate Tucker Carlson:

“So you’re a 15-, 16-, 17-year-old boy. You are driven by biology to procreate, so you are either going to be inflicting your attentions on one of your peers, who let’s be honest is not ready for it…

Or, you can have a safer, albeit technically illegal outlet, with a woman who knows what she’s doing…

I’m not going to pretend that’s rape, because it’s not.”

He’s the poster child for everything that’s wrong with Trump’s GOP.

(And if journalists aren’t publicly asking Pence to condemn this, then they’re guilty of professional malpractice.)

So this puts Tucker Carlson in the same camp as Bill Maher.

I think Tucker has proven that he can say anything at this point, no matter how shitty, stupid, or crass, and still keep his job.

Sounds like he’s also advocating for the legalization of prostitution.

So, to sum up, Carlson believes that statutory rape laws and the illegality of prostitution need to be changed in this country. I’d say that his christianist viewers should have a problem with this but they sold their souls to follow the fatted calf BLOTUS.

I am awaiting Donald Trump Jr.'s response to this.

He added: “So you’re a 15-,16-, 17-year-old boy. You are driven by biology to procreate, so you are either going to be inflicting your attentions on one of your peers, who let’s be honest is not ready for it; she’s going to get hurt emotionally—90 percent, I mean I’ve never seen a woman—girl—not hurt at that age.”

This must be the version of the Bible Trump has been signing, where celibacy is not even an afterthought. He’s another Kavanaugh without the Squee or the beer -an overprivileged frat boy who’s never suffered a consequence for any misdeed.

“Of course it’s a double standard! All standards are double standards,”

I was just writing about how what Tucker wants is a double standard but then clicked on the link and see that he was so dumb he openly admitted this because conservatives have no response to criticism beyond going deeper into the abyss; which I now remember reading at the time.

All standards are double standards, he says. That’s the conservative attack on liberals in a nutshell, that everyone is immoral so therefore liberals are hypocrites for pretending they have standards because society itself is a hoax and we’re all selfish pigs. And he openly admitted that he always lies while speaking about morals in public because he’s required to, yet now insists that these words can’t be his true belief because he doesn’t say them out loud anymore.

It does make you wonder what Tucker has been up to. But really, I don’t want to know!

I understand his position. It is the same position I had when I was 17, but in 2015 he was supposed to be an adult and adults who have a public voice should advance a grown up point of view. That grown up point of view is what is missing these days.

My gut feeling is that it was wanna-be-jock edgelording: Carlson would love nothing more than to have us think he was getting all kinds of intimate attention when he was that age. He felt inclined to talk about the topic in terms so crass, so boorish that we would all KNOW FOR SURE that 15-year-old Tucker was very, very sexed.

That is, it’s much more projection/bravado than any real belief or position. I’m not sure Mr. Carlson has those.
