Holy shit, one of my old friends used to say "that's gay... and not the good gay either" 20 years ago. I haven't talked to that guy in forever, but every once in a while I'll think of that and laugh. Can't believe Eminem made that exact line a lyric.

Cucker Carlson finished his Putin’s Cumsock Tour and is now back to firmly attaching his mouth to Pedo Trump’s asshole like some kind of right wing remora fish.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 months ago

Damn that is a wonderful conglomeration of words, kudos to you.

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 13 points 3 months ago

remora fish.

So in case somebody else here doesn't know squat about remoras, I went on Wikipedia and found out that they're fish that attach themselves to a host animal in a mutualistic arrangement. They remove ectoparasites and loose flakes of skin etc, and their diet is mainly composed of the host animal's shit.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Incredible! Now do matt walsh, steven crowder, ben shapiro or charlie kirk.

That is fucking perfection and I will not discuss it further.

I admire your way with words

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 66 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This is actually an example of one of my fears - that even down to the fucking Tuckers they are using their found idiot and his wake of voters to get into power and will be rid of him at the first opportunity.

And here’s the controversial part - they will make hay out of his removal after planning it. And by hay I mean war.

[–] Nobody@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Would a Vice President killing a President be an official act that grants immunity under the supreme court’s new “laws don’t apply to presidents” bullshit?

What if Vance uses the 25th amendment on Trump, then becomes president? He can do anything at that point.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Vice President killing a President

Vance killing the president is now on my Bingo card.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

I watched The Boys finale, I know how this can go

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Yes, but only if they can delay the trial until after they're sworn in.

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

That depends on how many motorcoaches you can afford to give to the supreme court members.

[–] Ranvier@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 months ago

Vice president doing it wouldn't be but once he kills the president, he is automatically president per the 25th amendment. Then he just pardons himself. Bam, criminally immune. And pardon power is in article 2, can't be questioned, automatically an official act with presumptive immunity.

This supreme court ruling is so dumb.

Using the 25th amendment to remove a living president would require cooperation of the cabinet and congress (if Trump contests the removal).

I don't think there's a reason to try to get rid of Trump. I imagine he's easily controllable since he has no apparent ideology, and is just a greedy narcissist. So, money and praise should be enough.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Tucker changed his mind about Trump when he told Trump that Russia had shopping carts and fresh bread in their supermarkets and Trump was amazed.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

It's called a Reverse Yeltsin.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Does he even have bone spurs?

Fucking draft dodger.

(I respect and admire people who dodged as conscientious objectors. But that’s not trump.)

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

FWIW my dad was drafted and couldn’t afford bone spurs. But he absolutely respected Muhammad Ali for standing up for what he genuinely believed in and exercising his right.

But agreed - that is not Trump.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Exactly.

The kind who dodged (or went to jail,) because of their convictions- courageous, and have as much respect in my eyes as anyone else. (And then there’s the hacksaw ridge guy. Geeze, I can’t even fathom that level of insanity. Desmond Doss.)

Trump bought his way out because he was a rich coward.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My uncle was able to escape at the last minute by getting accepted to a Canadian university. He eventually became a Canadian citizen, although he did finally come back (and got a U.S. federal government job, no less) after Clinton forgave all the people who fled the Vietnam draft. He's back in Canada now that he's retired.

He still holds his draft card in his wallet though.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I asked my Dad about his thoughts on Clinton dodging. He said he was fine with it because he was very intelligent and a Rhodes Scholar, that his talents were needed elsewhere (mind you, this was the 90’s and before we knew a lot of what we know now).

It made me sad when he said it, like he didn’t consider himself “good enough” or have a good excuse to try and avoid going.

That’s a cool story though, I’m glad everything turned out okay for him in the end.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

At least your dad felt that way about people who avoided the draft. There are plenty of people who felt the opposite way of your dad and derided Clinton for being a draft dodger (while forgiving Trump for it).

But I'm sorry he ended up having to go. I wish no one had to go.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Tucker knows who watches him.

Having looked at the republican field, I agree with tucker.

[–] theonyltruemupf@feddit.de 3 points 3 months ago

I agree with tucker.

Brand new sentence

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

After watching the newest Jon Stewart and Bill O’Reilly, I really want to watch Jon Steward have round two with Tucker.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

I'd rather the spineless hate spewing sack of shit lose his name recognition.

[–] Juvyn00b@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Didn't they do a podcast the next day?

Tucker's dad used to shoot people like Donald Trump for a living. Look at how far he's fallen.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

Dude is so far up Trump’s ass they should rename the colonoscopy in his honor.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Fake little Cucker Tarlson.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 4 points 3 months ago

I would prefer to learn my news from a Mexican Novella styled news show where the actors and actresses intersperse their lines and slapping basterds with current events, sports, the weather, and entertainment news.

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Not a single person that watches him cares at all

[–] RootAccess@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 3 months ago

Unpopular Opinion:

I think Tucker Carlson is a piece-of shit and a coward. That said, there is no contadiction in someone hating the bravest person they know.

[–] MisterMoo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

hahaha that chyron “historic” RNC

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

chyron

TIL there's a name for that off-topic ticker at the bottom of newscast screens. Thanks! I love learning new things.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I’ve never been to a more fun convention. I’ve never been to a convention with better vibes.”

If Tuck Tuck is really into the "vibes" of the convention, maybe he should come down off his high before checking in.

[–] Vaginal_blood_fart@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

Cucky tarbag is such a loser douche
