why does tucker carlson promote Putin?

wonder if putin has him by the throat too.

american version of comical  ali.

Fox realizes that Trump is done for or nearly so and they are casting about for a macho carboard cutout to prostrate themselves at the feet of. They believe the American public is desperately lacking an ultra-male archetype to rally around in order to restore America to the glory it was in 1850.

Well he does claim that everyone calls him "Sir", oh and there is no way in hell that she knighted that doofus especially in private

 

Let him have this one. A knight is British royalty.  He would have had to renounce his citizenship to be knighted negating his eligibility to hold public office. Buh-bye sir donald.

Reading all the comments on Twitter, Americans seem to be having that good chuckle at the absurdity of this, commenting on the wig or “is this where Liberals hang out?” Or Burger King references for Trump. What no one seems to be factoring in is the fact that a guy with a GUN was out looking to kill people and walking into a public place to do so. The attitude to guns is so casual there, this threat does not even register. Such a lost nation.

And to keep with this theme of a lost nation, I poached one line describing the upcoming election in wacknut MTG's riding:

Flowers' campaign to unseat Greene is a long shot.

I read an article that said when she was " required " to meet him she purposefully wore a broach given to her by the  Obamas.  Subtle , but a statement none the less.

QAnon believers, far-right influencers are reigniting fears of 'satanic panic'
   
Since former President Donald Trump left office, the widespread conspiracy theories of Satanist pedophilia have slightly waned but now it appears those baseless claims are making their way back to the forefront.

In a new analysis published by NBC News, senior reporter Brandy Zadrozny explained the latest Satanic obsession brewing among members of the QAnon community.
"While the current obsession with Satan was boosted in part by the QAnon community, partisan media and conservative politicians have been instrumental in spreading newfound fears over the so-called ritualistic abuse of children that the devil supposedly inspires, sometimes weaving the allegations together with other culture war issues such as LGBTQ rights," Zadrozny wrote. "Those fears are powering fresh accusations of ritual abuse online, which are amplified on social media and by partisan media, and can mobilize mobs to seek vigilante justice."

Zadrozny went on to discuss the difference between witch hunts of the past and the current political climate as conspiracy theorists have begun circulating baseless claims about the existence of satanic rituals, graphic sexual abuse and underground pedophilia rings.

"Witch hunts have traditionally been associated with courts — even the kangaroo kind — but today, the accused can be branded satanist pedophiles at the speed of the internet," she wrote. "Online accusers can bypass police, therapists and the traditional media and out their alleged accusers straight to audiences of millions."

The latest claims have been perpetuated by individuals like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). Zadrozny recalled a number of recent incidents where Satanic conspiracy theories had taken centerstage.  Pointing to one incident back in June, Zadrozny noted that the Republican lawmaker "credited the devil with whispering to women who choose to have abortions and controlling churches who aid undocumented immigrants."

Back in June, Greene tweeted a clip of a man dressed as the devil "stating that the mythical creature would be the next witness called by the House Jan. 6 committee." The lawmaker wrote, "They all know him, they all love him, and some even worship him."
