The moment one thinks Tucker Carlson couldn't get any more infantile

On his Thursday night program, Carlson sought to stir up his sadism and prejudice into something that he thought would be fun. So he presented his audience of deplorables with a Twitter poll to rename the Monkeypox. Because what could be funnier than some jokey names for a disease that is contagious and painful?

Carlson's poll included the following suggestions for a new name: Hunter Hives; Midterm Variant; Adam Schiffilis; and Sclong Covid. Note that three of the choice were overtly political, albeit typically infantile in nature. The fourth was profane and purposefully derogatory toward gay men who are among the sufferers. And of course, it was the fourth that won.

TFG goes full-on authoritarian: executions, internment camps

Holy Moly, I just don't have the words to express my disgust:

So so so sick of Gonad Trump Nazifest

I can't even keep up with the cringeworthy "Groomer" anti-LGBTQ incident headlines from the recent RWNJ Florida hatefest.
As predoctable as their dated RWNJ narratives became more difficult to maintain:
Misogynist anti-choice now a hemorrhaging wound.
The anti vaxxer shit fell apart.
Denying climate change getting the undeniable reality smackdown.
"Stop the steal" fracturing their own into Trumpers vs RINO's..
Fox News "Biden did that" whining narrative is on life support especially as a full on distraction from the hearings.
Then Gonad Trump went full on fairy tale about his stupid border whall.
Scott Snot and ilk no longer hide the low income-bashing narrative.
So all they have left are the most puerile "radical left democrats" confabulatuons:
How us evil LGBTQ are coming for your chilluns so "burn duh books".
I just can NaZi how much more sanity they can alienate.

I recall how progressive public transit was in Carter's future agenda

And how quickly it all got repealed under oily-garch puppet RayGun.
I've lamented here before how this screwed all of us.
Watched over the decades that Fox News extinguished all hope of alternatives to polluting, individually powered luxury transport. Even to all our demise.
I read with intrigue as practically the whole rest of the world moves people in communal luxury.
As "Duhmarican exceptionalism stares at "BROUGHM" on the dash.
Now here's yet more proof how idiotic we've been about this:

While the USA got it's head stuck up it's "Murica nummer won" 1950's poop chute

The rest of the world made progress.

Early teenage years reading about the fantastic systems in Popular Science magazine, predicted to criss cross our nation, I grew up and watched the auto/rubber/oil oilygarchs jail us all deeply into debt, paying exhorbitant insurance, tolls, taxes, fuel, licence fees, traveler assistance programs, snooty jonesing better-car syndrome, choking on CO2 and complex carbon gasses, lead poisioning, deteriorating highways, bridges, more and more unsustainable hellacious traffic, traffic violations, policing, road ragers, drunk drivers, horribly injurious collisions, repair costs, accessories, crappy glassed-in attitudes, noise...
I cry, USA, we're getting increasingly stupid every year.
