I'm so glad he's being called out on all this bullshit, i sensed it 10 year ago when he started popping up but couldn't quite put into words what he was doing.
I completely lost respect for Tucker after he hit Ted Cruz with a gotcha series, and I dislike Ted Cruz (not half as much as John Cornyn, but still). He never asked Putin those kinds of questions. For those who don't really understand what Tucker was doing, the point of a gotcha series, which is an age-old MSM tactic, is to make your interviewee look stupid. What you do is prepare a sequence of trivia questions of increasingly esoteric nature. If your subject gets one right, you silently go to the next question (so the audience doesn't notice what the subject gets right) until he gets one wrong, then you lambaste him for being a fool.

The first question was, "What's the population of Iran?" Tucker's go-to, "How do you not know basic facts about the country?" was clearly rehearsed. His prepared responses were likely something like:
  • 80 million or less: "That number is at least 20 years out of date. How much of your Iran knowledge is decades out of date?"
  • 80-100 million: "You don't know the actual number? How do you not know this?"
  • 100 million or more: "That's way too high. Iran isn't that large; why would you think it is? Where do you get your information? Is all your information this bad?"
  • 90 million: "The actual answer is 91.5 million, are America's bombing targets chosen this imprecisely?"
  • 91.5 million: Tucker nods, silently proceeds to ask demographic questions.
If Ted Cruz had rattled off in detail all the population and demographic figures, Tucker would have simply not acknowledged his answers, then moved on to economic statistics. At some point, he would have hit something Cruz didn't know, and we would have gotten some version of the clip we got. Generating the "Ted Cruz is so stupid, he doesn't know anything about Iran, what a fuckhead" clip was the point of the interview. It's total bush-league bullshit and unworthy of anyone who wants to be taken seriously.

TL;DR - Behead all journalists, including Tucker Carlson
 
I'd say our biggest expense is the Military/Pentagon
It’s not even close. Here, as an example, is the 2022 budget- income is the pie in the middle, expenditure is the ring around the outside.

Here’s 2010:

If you count Medicare/medicaid as forms of social security the picture gets even worse.

And even if all 10 million illegals are deported, i doubt wages will increase much, considering they occupy lower skilled/paying jobs in general.
Wage suppression and inflation have taken us from comfortable one-income average wage households with two kids to ‘working poverty’. Deporting 10 million illegals isn’t a silver bullet, but it is a start.
 
I remember back before Trump when all of the weather predictions were 100% accurate and nobody ever died of natural disasters. I can't believe we let this guy get the nuclear codes :(
For people who like to say we worship Trump (PBUH), some of these niggas legit acting like he's Chaac or some shit.
 
Wait, there's still leftwing retards that think military spending is even close to the top expense? It's been social programs forever.

There's never enough evidence for these fools to understand that social spending, which they act like isn't enough, is pretty much the entire US spending budget.

There's also those on the right that bitch about science/NASA and don't realize that's a tinnnnyyy fraction of what it costs for SS and welfare. (CA spends endless more than NASA's budget per year on supporting illegals alone, not even close. The 'net revenue' from what they pay makes it fairly close, but the #'s on illegals alone all over is nuts, and that doesn't count the crime and general destruction of society they do).

ETA: To piss off a shitlib, show how this is true. Show the spending of social/education/welfare/health vs 'bad' things like military and so on they hate. They'll stop talking to you, because it very much disproves their entire worldview. It's same as telling a tranny 'you'll never be a woman'. They hate objective stats and facts.

Ask them how much more needs to go to it. You might get a Robert Reich small person that goes 'tax the rich and it's all paid!' then show how if you take everything from the 'rich' entirely it'll only pay for a few months of spending currently, much less what they think is needed.

The answer to many of tucker's bullshit questions is "because we can and they can't do shit about it". Or more specifically "by killing those towelheads with a drone there's a .0001% chance it makes us safer and it costs us absolutely nothing to do. And there's a 100% chance it prevented many children from being raped so that's an added bonus". Any actual pro american should be okay with that, but he will dance around with all sorts of logical fallacies
World's largest military budget, larger than the combined total spending of the other top ten nations. All but two of who are allies. That's not to mention the cost in years, body parts, and lives of service members so we can all laugh at Ahmed getting blown up mid goat rape.

The world's largest military ought to achieve greater results for the American public than whatever the fuck the last twenty odd years of middle eastern policy has been. With the money we spent in Afghanistan alone, we could have had gun plated machine gun turrets shooting solid gold bullets at every border hopper. We could have built a second Panama canal, but this time along the US-Mexico border.

"What if it does lead to boots on the ground?"
This is the only valid concern but he always packages it in with "LEAVE THE MOSLEMS ALOOONE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION!". No, the answer to this question is "if we are forced to put boots on the ground we will do so in a warlike fashion, no mercy, no concern for civilian casualties, no holds barred, the safety of our men is our only priority other than achieving the objective. We will go scorched earth in such a way that makes the IDF's actions in Gaza look like a red cross mission". Every US military disaster from mogadishu to afghanistan has been directly the result of trying to hold back and play nice in an attempt at nation building. It has been made explicitly clear that when we treat military action like it's an actual war we can achieve near 0 casualty rates and be done very quickly. I'm still not saying we should run into war just for the fuck of it, but having a military you openly admit you're afraid to use is pointless.
America has never waged war like this. Will never willingly wage war like this. To say otherwise is simply a total rejection of reality. The closest America has ever gotten to your no-holds bar warfighting was the bombing campaigns of world war 2. Something the military has spent the last 80 years trying to get away from with ever more advanced, and accurate bombs. American soldiers do not like to kill civilians. They do not enjoy killing women, and children. You'll never achieve that type of mindset unless you only enlist total sociopaths.
 
Immigration is not America's biggest problem. Not even close.--99.9% of crime is committed by citizens.--95% of gangs in America are American.--90% of drugs moved in America is by Americans.--The number one cause of death in America is cancer.--The second cause of death is heart disease.--Then Alzheimer's. --Then car accidents.--100% of school shootings are done by Americans.If you want to make America great again, fight real crime, fight real criminals, fight cancer, fight heart disease, fight accidents, but please stop fighting the boogeyman under white people's beds.
Talking out your ass again, huh? I'd ask you to back this up but I know you can't. Please go to Reddit where you belong.

You know here is a good question to ponder, if you have a piece of media that is meant to satarize or make fun off a certain group of people, but those said groups being made fun odd instead embrace the piece of media, then does that mean you failed at making satire?

Look at something like at how certain people describe warhammer 40k. They will claim it is a parody or satire of fascism or authoritarianism but when you actually dig into the lore and stories of 40k you come to realize that EVERYTHING the impurium does has not only a good explanation behind it but also good justification. The reason why the impurium kills 1000 psykers everyday is because if they don't, then the emporer will die and thus making warp travel impossible and segregating the impurium, everything the impurium does it does so not out of intended crulty but out of a cruel necessity.

And this applies to other series and franchises as well, star wars, starship troopers (movie), helldivers, etc. In the end if you intend to starize people do t make the people you're satirizing look cool.

You just aren't hecking educated
 
Tucker's totally a CIA Operative, you got him, nick. After all, the modern glow niggers famously want countries in our hemisphere to be stable, well run, right-wing governments who destroy gangs and bureaucracy, and the number one goal of the deep state, as we all know, is to advocate for NOT going to war Russia and Iran.

fuck, if this is the swamp i want to live in it like Shrek.

I've heard retards say "What if NASA had the military budget", but the real question is "What if NASA had SS, Medicaid, and Medicare's budgets?"

Part of me wonders if these idiots have ever stopped and thought that maybe most Americans can relate to the song even while being pro-America? Like yeah, I get how the song talks about how horrible the dude has it. There isn't a line in that song that the average American can't relate to: if its "dead man's town" talking about the death of small town America, or "Hirin' man says, "Son, if it was up to me"" as if most WHITE AMERICANS have never faced hiring discrimination, or the lines about a dead loved one killed over seas as if America hasn't just spent nearly two decades in the fucking sandbox. These people think because you don't take away "America is foul, and should be destroyed" from the song, your "media illiterate". No, you're just a worthless commie if you do. God Bless the USA.

“I look at it generally as the fact of how precious democracy is, of how vulnerable it is and how it always has to be protected,” he added. “I hope that what we’re struggling with right now is a reminder of all the hard work the Czechs did in gaining their freedom and independence. Politics now seem to be for profit. Money has entered democracy as a profit centre. People are going into politics now to make money. We maintained an ideal, an idealism in the U.S., which does not exist now.”

Even if Elon Musk was somehow successful in forming his gay litle party, who the hell would be the presidential nominee for said party?
Vivek I think. But he's so distinctly not american that i don't think he'd get far. Think of all the depictions of a US president in popular media. Always a WASP or a black man. sure there are women sometimes but all the popular depictions are one of those two.

That's the expectation generally. An Indian don't make the cut. And the only black man to do it had to be like 3/4's white to pass.
