      Carlson gave Putin a platform. I see a trend forming.

        Carlson’s interview was the worst propaganda piece I’ve seen from the right yet. He fanboyed so hard, he didn’t even realize that he agreed with Putin’s assertion that eastern Poland belonged to Russia. Putin himself called the interview a disappointment due to Tucker’s lack of challenging questions.

        Then he goes and gushes over a “Russian” grocery store that was actually a French chain in Russia. He first jabbed at the homeless when he encountered a coin operated shopping cart. At the end, he boasted about how he easily bought groceries at such a low cost compared to the US, neglecting to realize that he spent 20% of a Russian’s monthly income on a week’s worth of food.

        It was an embarrassment.

          He realized.

          He just knows his viewers are morons.

          Tucker Carlson is not stupid. He’s malicious and servile, the Wormtongue of the right, never forget it.

      …in a country that houses multiple war criminals, even as presidents.

      So, it’s totally on brand.

        They’ve exposed themselves as war mongers for decades and it hasn’t harmed them at all. What makes you think it’ll be different this year?

        Pretty sure everyone knows the GOP has been war hungry since forever. The larger problem is many Dems are also in that camp. The military is big business and neither party has motivation to change that because they enjoy the money

        Can we get Harrison Ford as pilot? Love the man, but he keeps crashing his planes so it just seems like a good match.

    “Tonight, I’m happy to announce something else to you: that we will soon be hosting Prime Minister Netanyahu at the Capitol for a joint session of Congress,” Johnson said in a speech marking Israel’s independence, hosted by the Israeli Embassy.

    “This will be a timely and, I think, a very strong show of support to the Israeli government in their time of greatest need,” he added.

    And a show of hostility towards the tens of thousands of civilians Israel has already killed, and the millions more who are currently being starved and bombed by Israel’s genocidal actions.

      Ackchyually, he technically is. Semites, though now a defunct term, applied to any people that spoke a Semitic language.Arabs, Phoenicians, Jews, etc. It’s only after WW2 people erroneously assumed it meant just Jewish people—due to certain events at the time—and the term remained alive and evolved that way.

      So in a traditional sense, Little Ben is becoming his own Little Hitler.

      Guys, vote for us again and we promise we’ll stop him next time.

      Edit: don’t forget Biden called it outrageous that the ICC has labelled Netanyahu a war criminal.

    Any more of those Bell 212 helicopters laying around to transport him around; preferably close to a mountain range?

    So fucked it is even happening but at least we should get a good picture over which members of Congress are devotees to a foreign power so we can never vote for them again.

      I mean, Biden could choose to arrest him when he steps foot in the US, in accordance with international law, but he’s too busy enabling him, so on this issue, unfortunately, they’re not that different.

      On most other issues: sure they’re different, but Biden really is doing everything he can to turn off decent people that oppose genocide.

    If I had the time/money to get myself to DC when he’s there, I’d deck myself out in all my Magen David jewelry and a big fat “fuck you, Bibi” sign.
