Tucker’s a smart guy with a clever tongue. He can lay out an exhaustive, reasoned, rationalist case for basic civil liberties. And then he can come back a day later to lay out an exhaustive, reasoned, rationalist case against them.

Just depends on which side of the line he’s standing. Dude’s a talk radio mercenary. He’ll fight for whichever side he thinks will turn him a profit.

Everyone getting a Russian paycheck is becoming visible right now.

Trump had a falling-out with Russia, Russia wants the US out of Israel, so you will notice that every single right-wing pundit who is suddenly screaming about government overreach are also the same ones who have been saying that the US shouldn’t get involved in Israel.

Seriously, it’s like a line-item list. Owens, Shapiro, Carlson, MTG and whatever other assorted midwits who have spoken out against US involvement in the middle-east, same ones who have had the most glowing praise for Russia or Putin.

Russia wants the middle-east via Iran and they don’t like Trump anymore because he’s too hard to manage and will likely die soon, so the window for shaping policy is rapidly running out.

(It’s not going to get better when Trump dies.)

edit: save your insane replies, I don’t care if it hurts your mental health to learn that the world might be more complicated than you think and there is no real binary of “good guys and bad guys” and absolutely everyone is a bad guy.
