Polls: Society & Politics

Surprised this endorsement came so quickly when the Primaries have just barely started and 51% of Democrat's believe Biden should not run for reelection.

Russian State TV Appears To Offer Tucker Carlson A Job

Tucker Carlson may be out of a job at Fox News, but Russian state media seems to have an eye on him.
Fox said Monday the company was parting ways with its star prime-time host after 14 years, an announcement that came as a shock to media observers who had watched Carlson rack up ratings by delivering frequently bigoted monologues to a conservative audience. The cable news network, embroiled in several very pricey lawsuits, did not give a reason for its decision.

The Russian state media network RT tried to grab Carlson’s attention over Twitter, writing: “Hey @TuckerCarlson, you can always question more with @RT_com.” An earlier tweet from RT had framed the departure as Carlson’s decision.

(Notably, Twitter does not label RT as a “state-affiliated media” organization, despite it being one. Twitter CEO Elon Musk sparked outrage earlier this month when he labeled the U. S. news outlet NPR as “state-affiliated media,” even though NPR receives less than 1% of its funding from the federal government.)

Russian TV host Vladimir Solovyov, an influential state propagandist, also reportedly signaled keen interest.

According to Politico, Solovyov expressed sympathy for Carlson in a message on Telegram, telling him “the United States mainstream media has lost its last remaining voice of reason.”

Like anybody there are plenty of people I’ve encountered or know as public figures (celebrities, politicians, etc.) that I don’t like.

However I can compartmentalize my brain to look at them objectively. While I have my obvious reasons for disliking them but that doesn’t mean I can’t acknowledge or even respect certain qualities about them. Like-ability is not the same thing as respect.

For example I highly disliked former president Obama. I believe he was a Trojan horse for all the radical politics and division going on in our culture today.

However I can acknowledge that he has the gift of gab. Very eloquent. Smooth talker. I can understand how that made him so popular among voters. But again that doesn’t mean I like him. But I can acknowledge and respect that quality.

It’s just in my experience women have a much harder time separating like-ability and respect. Once they decide they don’t like someone then they refuse to acknowledge any of their qualities. They seem to be more all or nothing when it comes to this.

Be it abortion bans or anti-transgender bills, they always say: Any medical professional who does this will be prosecuted. If a medical pro tells me to do something, I’ll listen to them more than old white conservative a**holes.

You pay $100 plus dollars every year. For some people that live paycheck to paycheck, that can hurt them. They can also get a ticket if they can’t afford it. Something is wrong here!

Any one who says Repubs are the party of family is deluding themselves. Anything billionaires want, they get. (This is why billionaires shouldn’t exist)

Why give an update otherwise?

Life is hard because?

We have needs/desires (food, intimacy, sleep, entertainment, curiosity, seeking knowledge, socializing and/or solitude, etc.)

... all the while dealing with following while attempting to earn the former...

- Work
- Information
- Responsibilities
- Distractions
- Mental/physical stress
- Mental/physical health issues (disabilities)
- Human demographic inequality (unfairness)
- Memories (past)
- Worries (future)
- Skepticism
- Attention span
- Competition
- Guilt
- Fear
- Jealousy
- Insecurities
- Time management (priorities)

Miss anything? That should be everything.

Tucker Carlson Departs Fox News, Effective Immediately

Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox News, the network announced Monday morning.

In a statement the network said "FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor."

Carlson's last program was Friday. Beginning Monday evening, the network will air Fox News Tonight as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is determined.

Carlson featured prominently in a $1.6 billion lawsuit brought against Fox News by voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, which was the subject of conspiracies of widespread election fraud and other wrongdoing in the wake of the November 2020 presidential election.

The voting company recently settled with the network, but not before text messages and emails by Carlson and other network personalities were made public as part of court filings.

In one of the exchanges made public, Carlson texts a colleague: "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait."

"I hate him passionately," Carlson added, per The Washington Post.

As a white American I feel I have more in common with white people In Europe then I do with non white people in America.

I would feel more comfortable in rural England then I would in Chicago for example.

How do you feel.

Seems like Americans are anti-immigration currently, like we were when the “America First” slogan was first used. We didn’t allow any Jews in so would we allow victims today to immigrate?
