Tucker Carlson, founder of the Tucker Carlson Network, said Monday on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” that violence was likely if Donald Trump is in prison ahead of the November election.
Discussing what could happen if Trump is convicted in the federal election case, Megyn Kelly said, “If she puts him in jail pending appeal before the election the country’s going to burn. Then all this blowback, ‘Oh my God she is calling for violence.’ I’m not calling for violence. But there is no way the Trump base is not going to be beside itself with anger at that level of deprivation of being able to simply vote for the candidate of choice. That’s what’s being taken away here.”
Carlson said, “Speaking of violence that is what you are going to get.”
He continued, “If you leave people no alternative, then what do you think is going to happen? I mean, the whole point of electoral democracy is that it’s a pressure relief valve that takes people who are very frustrated with the way things are going and gives them a way to express themselves, have their desires heard and ultimately their will done, to be represented in a peaceful way.”
Carlson added, “You’re rigging the election. And they did that. So, if you keep doing that, and people are like, ‘Wait, I have no economic power. You’ve devalued my currency so it’s like, $11 for a dozen eggs. And my vote doesn’t matter anymore, well then, what do I have? Like, what power do I have?’ And you’re going to get violence if you keep this shit up. That’s just the truth.”

Please do not pull this thread. Where else can appropriate civil disobedience strategies be discussed? We know there’s a line risky to cross. But peace and safety are not always the answer.
I dislike dishonesty and bad judgment.
Tucker has been both on foreign policy, not just Ukraine.
And people here somehow excuse or deny his lionizing Kanye West as a genius, when the guy is literally insane as well as racist and anti semitic.
95% of all other issues, I was a huge fan of Tucker. But he’s being dishonest.

The poster who posted the post defended it on the grounds that he's ALWAYS advocated for Nuremburg type trials for uh, suspected "High Criminals" blahblahblah, which seemed rather weak IMO considering that no one is going to examine someone's "Body of Work" in the face of such a statement.
For me personally, that was the point at which I agreed with the assertion that there are people posting at certain online forums who are not what they present themselves to be.
Contrasted with whatever it is that has been inferred or insinuated into my post here. Just to be absolutely clear, "Face Value".
Nothing unspoken, insinuated, implied nor suggested that isn't expressed in English. That is, unless someone is one of those who are actually, gratuitously looking for cause to be offended, in which case, frankly, TS.
Although one does second your motion for review by the moderators. Wouldn't be the first time one has been mistaken... how about you?
Speaking of keeping this feces up, next county over, small town Texas, 16 year old cheerleader stabbed to death by criminal invader. And Sanctuary places are only just beginning to get what we’ve had for a LONG time in south Texas. The psycho did “try it in a small town”.

I’m too old for this stuff. Alas.
Isn't it obvious that they need a stern talking-too? To be made to see things from the conservative perspective.
And, if that doesn't work ... escalate to "very stern".
But people around here scream like a turpentined cat if you suggest that maybe they should sit in one.
