    The last media talking head to start speaking ill of Trump was Charlie Kirk if I’m not mistaken.

    Like I’m not saying Tucker is going to have an assassination attempt but it sure would be convenient for that to happen so Trump could have a distraction from the Epstein stuff… Which coincidentally was also a big talking point right before Charlie Kirks assassination…

    Btw I heard an idea that everyone is fighting for Charlie Kirk’s followers: Carlson, Shapiro, Fuentes, etc. That’s why there’s so many weird interviews and headlines as they try to get the follower’s attention. Kinda makes sense.

      Anyone who paid attention at the time could have told you that Crooks was a shitpost conservative who engaged in a shitpost shooting.

      And yes, this was inconvenient for Trump, so the conservatives instantly stopped talking about it.

      The only reason it’s coming up again, is the Epstein emails that have recently come out. And the bombshells yet to come.

      Old fucker Tucker here, is already on the outs with mainstream conservative groupthink. So is trying to position himself for a possible comeback. Not knowing that it will never work.

      See, Tucker is a loser who was fired for costing Fox a shit ton of money. Conservatives care about that shit.

    Knew the gloves would come off with the far right once the pant shitter was found out to have a penchant for kids who were still young enough to wear pull-ups.

    Wait a second, did Tucker actually do a journalism this time? Or is this just a craven “see I go after both sides” play?

      I don’t think he plays for either side. He’s an opportunist who was spurned by one side. Now his opportunities lie elsewhere and he’s exploiting them thoroughly.

      If I had to guess, his hope is likely to do enough damage to become the better devil they know.

      Everyone knows you can make more money from swindling the right than the left.

        He has a side, it’s Vladimir Putin’s side. His clips are aired regularly on Russian media, and he “interviewed” Putin in Moscow last year by tossing him a bunch of softball questions.

        So…a poster child of journalism. Not activism kind of journalism, just journalism. Feast on the weak, no matter who they are.

    Well, yeah…

    If the people in charge of security were honest, they’d be fired. Anyone that doesn’t say what trump wants to hear get fired.

    So when it comes to stuff like this, no real actions are taken to prevent it from happening again. Because you won’t acknowledge why it happened.

    As the right fractures more and more, this will keep happening. Maga has always been a loose coalition of different groups with different goals. And trumps not even trying to keep them all happy anymore. They all thought they’d be the priority, and now they’re pissed and feel used.

    How come Trump stopped talking about Hannibal Lectar after this Iran backed assassination on him took place? Is he afraid of Iran or something?
