  1. We just spent a trillion dollars of those. More money is not the answer, actually it is the issue...inflation. We need to cut spending and balance the budget, not spend more on goodies.

  2. Nope, not true at all. Carlson is lost at least 50% of the time in his own sauce. He is especially clueless on foreign policy and Ukraine. He is motivated by rage, not objective thought and has become a conspiracy isolationist. Not a good combo.

  3. Not really, especially on foreign affairs and Ukraine.

  4. Actually, he lied multiple times and continues to do so every time he discusses this conflict. Zelensky demanded nothing. He was very thankful for the aid given and repeatedly thanked the US for it. He is a man besieged by a formidable enemy. The measures he has taken, are to save his country. Think of Lincoln in the civil War. They also called him a dictator. Tucker would be among those doing so, had he lived then and probably would have supported the Copperheads seeking peace with the CSA in 1864, rather than vote for Lincoln and continued war. I think Tucker is motivated primarily by fear of war and guilt over his support of the Iraqi invasion. Tucker is weak. He is wrong on both counts and his views if followed, will not help the US and in the long run only hurt us.

  5. Dumb comment

  6. Really dumb idea. If you never want conservatives to have power again, do that. Have you ever heard of divide and conquer? This 0 or 100% thinking is what is destroying the country. Democracy is about compromise; it is the basis of the Constitution and how our govt. is supposed to work. Get out of this radical mindset and think a bit.

  7. Why Carlson continually lies about Zelensky is beyond bizarre. He demanded nothing, he was absolutely humble and sincere in his address, repeatedly thanking the US for the aid and his clothes are meant to convey a message. His country was invaded by a vastly superior force and yet it survives. He wears clothes which resemble those worn by the troops who he commands. In front of the US Congress or foreign nations, his clothes reinforce the existential threat his country faces. Certainly Carlson, knows this and yet he continually personally attacks Zelensky, why? Did he do something wrong here? Ought he not seek military support to fight back against the Russians? Tucker is either a complete coward, delusional or so mired in his own fame, he cannot recognize reality for what it is. He should be ashamed at the barrage of insults and outright lies he his speaking regarding Zelensky and Ukraine. Regarding ending Putin's hold on power is a better point and one that definitely needs to be thought through. Lindsey Graham only voiced what he sees as reality; a truce plays only to Russia's strengths and likely would simply mean a replication of the invasion, once Russia has regrouped, rearmed and remobilized. Putin also has far too much at stake to simply walk away, so regime change is probably the only way the war will end, short of a military revolt. Zelensky is no Churchill, but he has demonstrated great personal courage and tremendous leadership, which have inspired his nation and troops.
