Should we just forget people’s utter hypocrisy? That’s the so-what. In my opinion, Tucker Carlson has been one of the handful of the top most norms-damaging individuals in the United States over the past 5 years. He has shown he is a liar and not trustworthy, so why should we take anything he says now at face value?

I should have been more clear. No Democratic elected official is in favor of open borders.

Considering how small potatoes this is compared to the endless scandals coming out of the White House, I’m not surprised this hasn’t become a big story.

It’s not reconcilable with what happened in 2020. And that is because there was no election fraud. Those who believe there was have been duped.

Label it whatever type of argument you want. But the fact is Tucker Carlson carried Trumps water for four years. Of course Carlson has always been a hack, but the hypocrisy of his texts are next level.

It can’t be explained because it’s not a blue tribe signal at all. The people who wear masks in the US are those who really don’t want to get a cold, flu, or COVID. I see it mostly with Asian-Americans (who masked at a much higher percent prior to COVID), but present day maskers come in all shapes and size.

Stephen Colbert correspondents dinner: https://youtube.com/watch?v=IJ-a2KeyCAY
Jon Stewart in Crossfire: https://youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB5YpDZE
Both of these men have largely become more vanilla, but these clips really highlight their young brilliance.

Just a reminder that Tucker Carlson is a proven liar and despised trump during his presidency. I would take what Tucker Carlson says with a heavy grain of salt, if you choose to even believe it at all.

Even if that was his debate tactic, his point came off quite clearly. His point being, shows like Crossfire and pundits like Tucker Carlson are harming political discourse in America. It’s a debate style the hosts were not accustomed to and I think it works to good effect.

You may be yelling into the void here with this comment, but I’d argue this deserves one of the monthly top comment awards.

I’d be very skeptical of any of these claims.

48/50. Had a few guesses due to running out of time, so easily could have had a 45/50. Either way, this test is judging people who’s skill lies in catching an oval ball and beating the crap out of each other. The test is meant to be easy and many quite good players have scored very poorly (thinking about Frank Gore in particular).

Yep. I don’t think he’ll be able to launder it back to respectability, at least for those who are able to detect lies and deceit.
Interesting that he just spoke at the RNC. Looks like he’s back to riding trumps coattails.
Edit: and to be honest I don’t think he’s had any respectability since John Stewart showed what an ass he is on live television.

I have, for the most part, given up on individual stock picking and activist investing. When I was younger, I read such things as The Intelligent Investor, A Random Walk Down Wallstreet, Get Rich Carefully, among others, but I’ve since become a FIRE follower and Boglehead. I have a small portfolio of individually picked stocks, but 90% of my net worth is tied up in index funds, mostly S&P 500 and target retirement funds. I still dabble with stock picking (and even options trading during the COVID insanity) but for the most part I just do boring, automated ETF purchases.
I won’t get rich fast, but ideally I will get rich eventually. I also don’t have to worry about picking stocks, beating the market, or questioning where I should invest my money. I simply transfer it to Vanguard and call it good.

Similar concept, don't you think? Just felt a lot more improv-y rather than the tight righting of Party Down.

Haha wow, that is a late 2000s trailer right there.
I think you just gotta watch the first two episodes and see if you like the humor. The first episode feels very “pilot”-esque, so the ball doesn’t really get rolling until the second ep.
I just really liked Ken Marinos character. His mix of pathetic-ness and ego is just brilliant writing and acting. It also hits harder if you’ve ever worked in the catering or restaurant industry.
No democrats are in favor of open borders.
