I don’t like Tucker Carlson but this was insane.

    Fuck both of these guys, but in this case I have to give it to Cruz. Not knowing the exact population doesn’t mean he doesn’t know anything about the country. This is just a debating trick. If he couldn’t guess within an order of magnitude that would be a problem.

      In 2028 you’re going to see Tucker Carlson running as a GOP candidate on an anti-isreal stance.

        While that’s crazy to think, it’s even crazier to consider that he’d somehow still manage to be the safer R candidate. I swear, it’ll end up between Dr Oz and Tucker Carlson on the republican side.

      He has always “done his job”, but we need to define what that is. His job is to self-enrich by enraging and exploiting angry white men. Right now, some of the largest hot spots are support of Israel, unnecessary war with Iran, the economy/affordability, and the dismantling of the military (many vets). Most if not all of these resonate with angry white men…his core audience.

      He, like many, has only finally noticed the harm he has caused now that he escaped from the bubble and he wants to clean his image. Like Kavanaugh, it’s not going to happen.

        Thats not true, he just wants to spew different harms then mainstream media. He is anti Israel, not bc of war crimes or genocide, but bc its the “Jewish state.” He’s no longer MAGA, still evil

        I call bullshit. He’s just one of the early rats fleeing a sinking ship. It’s nothing more than that. He’s still the same opportunistic shit he ever was. Someone who is trying to better themselves doesn’t bring people like Nick Fuentes onto his show and give that guy a platform.

    What the fuck is going on lately? Tucker Carlson is calling out republicans. Conservatives are protesting AI. Cats are marrying dogs! The world has gone weird.

    Are we still sure that LHC didn’t break something when they found the higgs boson? Like sure sure?

      I’m not, personally. LHC high-energy collisions timeline:

      • Start of Main Program (at 7 TeV): March 30, 2010
      • Run 2 (Upgraded to 13 TeV): Started in 2015
      • Run 3 (Upgraded to 13.6 TeV): Started in 2022

      To me, these dates all track to changes in… things. That’s probably crazy, I am probably just nuts. Which is lucky because:

      • High-Luminosity (14 TeV with 10x collision capacity): 2030

      I’m sure it will be fine.

      Nothing brings people together like war or tears them apart like peace. When it was all “go MAGA go” everyone was behind it. Now that they got there, all the infighting has started because they were never really united in the first place.

    My eyeballs have rarely been submitted to such hardship as they had watching this clip.
