4. Now does Tucker get paid from the Fox News Channel or right from Putin?

Now, I know that this shit is written for Tucker and he doesn't say word one w/out
the bosses' OK but God Damn it is he un-American little shit who is actively fomenting
civil unrest for money.

My prediction is he is heading for a fall like O'Rielly.

Seems like Fox is rooting for the Insurrectionists.

... in Croatia (one of the Countries that Russia used in their cyber attacks on America) in the late
summer or early fall of 2016 w/Ivanka right before the Steele Dossier had Michael Cohen and maybe
Ivanka and Jared meeting up with Russian agents in Prague.

BTW the installation of TFG into the White house and the rat fucking of our elections in 2016 was part
of the largest crime operation/foreign attack to ever hit America and it is so big that I think only Vlad
Putin and Bill Barr know the whole "thing." And Fox News' use of Russian disinformation then and now
can not be disputed.

A totally fictional tale where a US President and his Party are co-opted by a Dark State that wants world-wide criminal dominance?

That's a picture I'd love to see. A "Don't Look Up" of political reality.

If you're listening Earl G, this would be a great feature in the next gen version of DU.


Succint and to the point. Putin wanted Trump to overthrown our Democracy....the Republican Party has been complicit since the 1st impeachment.

11. Interesting that truckers aren't as upset about all the actual federal trucking safety regulations.

Things like alcohol and drug testing, CDL standards, financial responsibility laws for motor carriers, driver qualifications, hours of service for drivers, vehicle inspections, repairs and maintenance, transporting hazardous materials and even a ban on texting.

15. Thinking about the life of a truck driver,,,,and why they fall for this shit.

They spend a lot of lonely time on the road and probably talk exclusively amongst themselves - they are a brotherhood for the most part. Telling each other the same lies, promoting the "we" vs. "them" hate and paranoia. Racist, homophobic, misogynist behavior encouraged and promoted.

Not saying that there aren't intelligent truckers that don't buy into the brotherhood bubble. I just don't know wgat the % for each group....I fear it's weight towards Trump.
