Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They're treasonous because Tucker Carlson needs to stay relevant in the headlines. He's a fucking white nationalist Christian fascist, he's very smart, and he's (somehow to his audience) very charismatic. He can be extremely dangerous.
I'll just add: I don't think there's any real charisma. I think he just has had an audience particularly suited to gullibility, to whom trust is earned by mere repetition, and then been given decades of time to show his face. Every segment of his that I've seen is him speaking like someone spoon-feeding elementary-school logic to a mentally infirm grandparent.
I mean... That's the Republican base. They vote, and they buy whatever they're told to by these chucklefucks. There's a lot of advertising money in the fascist grift world.
Tuckers gift is that he gets them to eat it.
uhhh... have you heard of MAGA? As long as he has his own cult, he'll be dangerous
Yeah, he's a condescending, smarmy cunt.
They are treasonous because Tuck wants the presidency in 2028. He could win too, if not for Israel, I've no doubt he will submit to them though when it comes to it.
I dont know if hes really smart. See a break in the conservative rhetoric and fill it. Already had name recognition from his early fox days. Seems easy to me if you have no actual values and can afford writers for your interviews.
He has stayed "popular" for like 20 years, that requires charisma and intelligence
He's breaking with Trump over treason earlier than the crowd. That's smart.
