i Don’t want to say Tucker is completely dumb, but he and that Whinney bunch of Jan6th jailbirds, are several software updates behind the times.

And their owners/masters won't pay for them.

BTW The Mustelidae family is highly insulted by the comparison to F*cker C. Weasels are noble beasts compared to that lying layer of pond scum.

and the driver behind all the shenanigans going on by Republicans since that fateful day in January. The last thing they want is the full truth of 1/6 to ever find the light of day and they'll do damn near anything to keep that from happening.

for NOT taking the original Jan 6 commission deal? It would have wrapped up by Dec 2021 and they could have made as much of circus out of it as they did the impeachment hearings. Now, he and his ilk have no control of the narrative. All they can do is flail their arms while the commission the Dems really wanted does it's business, drags the truth into the light of day and makes this whole thing the talk of the 2022 election cycle. The truth Carlson doesn't want to emerge per the above statement.

was deliberate, right down to including Jim Jordan as his nominee for the committee. He knew that Jordan would be rejected. That was his excuse to refuse to cooperate and to set up his own investigation - not of who started and planned the insurrection, but of Pelosi. The RW narrative to distract from who was behind the insurrection is that Pelosi was at fault for not having adequate security at the Capitol.

From outside the committee, the Rs can push that narrative better than from being on the committee.

accountable and be required have some ethical standards. Lots of thorny 1st amendment issues but Fox and other cannot be allowed to continue to lie, enrage, and divide a portion of this country who have no ability to think critically. Free speech has its limits which Fox and rw media have clearly overstepped.

Rush never served. Trump didn't serve. Doesn't matter. They wrap themselves up in the flag and a certain set of people applaud and rejoice. Their false patriotism is only used to degrade their opponents.

want the truth about what happened, and who was involved in making it happen, on the January 6th insurection. They all want to turn it into the usual GQP clown show at which they're so adept.
The bow-tie master of clown ceremonies, Tucker Carlson, is nothing more than a snot-nosed rich boy who was born on third base, but is convinced he's hit a home run. He serves no one but himself, which seems to be the republican credo.

He's the one that hires them all and pays them a ton to say whatever he deludes to

Over 80+% of all media in the U.S. is owned by wealthy Republicans.
