Tucker Carlson January 7, 2021 — 04:18:04 PM UTC

"A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington. A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living shit out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It’s not how white men fight. Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it. Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn’t good for me. I’m becoming something I don’t want to be. The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I’m sure I’d hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn’t gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?"



Well, you ain't Tucker. What a sorry piece of excrement. 



Not surprised by his and the ex presidents support here. 

Hey Rich, have you heard anymore about that huge news about Tucker you eluded to your original post? I thought Tucker echoes your viewpoint. So what? No comment from you? Wasn’t Tucker treated unfairly?

I guess Rich's breaking news wasn't so huge after all.

I will be retired, but my wife will still be working in April teaching part time. I really only have to drive 100 miles south to see the eclipse, but the chance of clear skies in April in northern Ohio is slim to none so I will probably drive down to Texas and haul my teardrop to sleep in. Since solar eclipses are at new moon I’ll probably head down to either Big Bend NP or stay at the Marathon Motel to do some dark sky observing. Darkest sky I’ve ever experienced was at Big Bend in February 2017. I had my teardrop and camped in the back country about a mile off the park road. Very spooky by myself and was glad I had my hard sided trailer to sleep in. For that reason I might lean toward the Marathon Motel, the sky there is not as dark as Big Bend, but still very dark.

I'll be 87. I'll be there if I can, but hope they invent real self driving cars by then so I can take naps along the way. 

Well, I for one really like that big beautiful wall that was paid for by Mexico. What a crowning achievement that was.

The 2024 eclipse passes right over my house. However considering the Indiana weather I plan to head south to Texas. I hope to use the October annular eclipse as a trial run.

Looking to the future, I see Australia has 4 totals between 2028 and 2038. Since I hope to be back home well before then will see how many of then I can see.  Anyone who wants to come over is welcome. (just leave your guns behind! )

Oooh, Australia is on my bucket list. I might take you up on your offer for one of those. I'll do some research........

Well, other than the unkept promise of the big beautiful wall that Mexico will pay for, what are some of Trump's other promises that he didn't keep? 

*    "I know the Wall Street people probably better than anybody knows them," Donald Trump told the Washington Post in 2016, and promised to clear the country's then-$19tn national debt "over a period of eight years".

Halfway through that eight-year promise, the US national debt has ballooned by more than a third, hitting $27tn in October 2020. Mr Trump increased the national debt ceiling in 2017, before suspending it until after the 2020 election in July 2019.

*   Undocumented Immigrants:  Mr Trump repeatedly told his supporters that every single undocumented immigrant - of which there are estimated to be more than 11.3 million - "have to go".

After: As polling day approached, his stance began to soften slightly, then after the election he scaled it back to some two to three million deportations of people who "are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers".

In fiscal year 2019 deportations were at 267,000, a slight rise on the year before, though not as high as the 2012 peak of 410,000 under the Obama administration.

Mr Trump's plans for immigration reform faced defeat that summer when the Supreme Court ruled against his administration's bid to rescind Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca), which protects about 650,000 young people who entered the US without documents as children.

*  Is it infrastructure week yet? The country's infrastructure "will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people back to work as we rebuild it", he said in his victory speech in November.

After: Has repeated his vow to spend big on the country's roads, rail and airports, but as yet, there is little sign of action. By March 2018 Congress had allocated $21bn for infrastructure spending - far short of the $1.5tn Mr Trump has called for. The money will be spent on a wide range of upgrades and investments, according to a congressional graphic.

In April 2019, Mr Trump and Democratic leaders agreed to spend $2tn on infrastructure, an agreement that later fell apart. June 2020 there were reports the Trump administration had a $1tn plan in the works, but no announcement has been made.

*   NATO: Mr Trump repeatedly questioned the military alliance's purpose, calling it "obsolete". One issue that irked him was whether members were pulling their weight and "paying their bills". In one New York Times interview in July 2016, he even hinted that the US would not come to the aid of a member invaded by Russia.

After: But as he hosted Nato's secretary general at the White House in April 2018, the US president said the threat of terrorism had underlined the alliance's importance. "I said it [Nato] was obsolete," Mr Trump said. "It's no longer obsolete."

In July 2018, Mr Trump reiterated his support at the Nato summit, but suggested the US might still leave if allies did not acquiesce to his budget demands.

Mr Trump has continued to argue that Canada and European members of Nato are not spending enough to support the alliance, and recently said the US will move nearly 12,000 troops out of Germany.

*  "Lock her up" was one of the main rallying cries of Mr Trump's supporters.

They wanted to see Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in prison over the use of her private email server while secretary of state.

And Mr Trump was more than willing to back their calls for, at the very least, a fresh investigation. During the debates, he told Mrs Clinton: "If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation."

After: The president-elect's tone changed almost as soon as he had won, describing the woman he had said was "such a nasty woman" as someone the country owed "a debt of gratitude". Later, he said he "hadn't given [the prosecution] a lot of thought" and had other priorities.

In November 2016 Mr Trump's spokeswoman said he would not pursue a further investigation - to help Mrs Clinton "heal".

But I can see why you guys defend his policies. Too bad your boy Donny screwed the pooch when it all comes down to it. 

It's the damn democrats fault anyways, not that nasty bloated lying sack of trans fats and liquid crap rapist/pussy grabber that his followers worship.

Well, that was fun. Break is over, back to the yard work.

Hmm... I didn't hear one leftist here on this forum, mention this mass murder last week of 5 people, by an Illegal alien, a Mexican National who did the murders, which included a child.  

You know, I actually had to go back and take a look at all the previous postings in the last few days, and it was kind of funny that not one of the regulars here, who usually can't wait to post within hours of a mass shooting, and pontificate about how a racist white supremacist engaged in a mass shooting, in order to blame Republicans, did NOT even bother to mention the shooting, even though 5 people ended up dead.  

I wonder why that is? 

Even the resident communist here didn't bother to mention it.  Usually he gets on here within mere minutes to blame White Supremacists for mass murders.  And he was silent.

I'll wonder a 2nd time to myself and say hmm..... I wonder why he didn't post?

I guess this Mexican National who was previously deported at least 4 times, and re-entered the US because Joe Biden and the Democrats who are open border advocates, let him back into this country to kill 5 innocent people.

This mass murder is squarely on the head of Joe Biden, however not one leftist on this forum, and barely anyone in the media reported on the massacre because it didn't fit their narrative of reporting on murders only when they can exploit those murders for political purposes.  

What a crock of shit. I'm just getting sick and tired about posting about the epidemic of gun violence because you guys will just say 2nd amendment and the argument is over. Every time. How did this jackass illegal immigrant get the rifle? Why didn't law enforcement do anything about him getting drunk and shooting off his rifle at night? Supposedly he's done it before.

This whole thread was one of your biggest face-plants in a long time, and that is saying something.

Thanks a lot, Jim. One of his inane posting frenzies began just after you made this post.

He's probably hoping to get this thread knocked off the front page of threads.
