Not only does Carlson have an audience but odds are he has a shit ton of dirt on Don jr. Et al. These are a bunch of drug abusing idiots, high on their own supply and tucker is crafty enough to have receipts....

I imagine we'll find out at some point when Will Summer uncovers the dirt

All I can say is that the Trump turd certainly attracts not just the MAGA, but the maggots. Laura Loomer and Tucker Carlson are just two of the more outspoken ones, who know how to tap into Trump's hate-filled brain. I don't know who voted for this, but we have to get rid of them and force them back into the farthest edges of the internet.

Tucker Carlson is the only charismatic person who could replace Trump. He's a lock for the Republican nomination if he wants it. And that should be of major concern to us dissidents.

during the Watergate investigation, there were a group of frat boy mafia, that engaged in what was what was appropriately named“rat fucking”. The face of that group was Donald Segretti. They spent most of their time is issuing false propaganda, and the beginning of opposition research.

What we are seeing with Nick Shirley is only the latest iteration of the dirty tricksters subculture.

By the way, Donald Segretti, I believe was disbarred and may have served a short prison sentence.

Any clarification is always appreciated.

Most of us appreciate the great writing and humor that goes into this also

"There are better explanations of why Carlson spends so much time at the White House. The first is that the administration sees him as too powerful a media figure to keep far outside the tent. The second is that they kind of like the guy—even as he pursues policy goals diametrically opposite of their own." The last sentence almost gets it right, usually the Bulwark gets it totally right. The real answer is that Trump values loyalty to him, personally, and is quite unconcerned with policy differences as he has no deeply held policy values. Tucker always comes back to Trump even after straying, and kisses the royal **** again.

My suggestion is follow the money for the Epsteinth time.

The White House won't cut Tucker loose because they might be able to use him to some advantage at some point. Trump is assuredly aware that kooky Carlson has stated emphatically that he hates Trump's guts, a statement designed to delight the famously transactional and ethically extinct President.

As long as Carlson is willing to enter Trump's White House it means to Trump that Trump is the boss dog.

When Carlson tells them to screw off and turns down an invite, then the dynamic may change.

Meanwhile the different mentally ill factions of MAGA will continue to careen against each other in delusional combat in Trump's gold painted rubber room.

I need one of those "crazy walls" where the factions are identified and there's a Venn diagram that helps me understand this stuff. Who's a groyper? Who's an incel? Whose son is Vance's aide? Why is Loomer looming people? Why is TPUSA imploding about murder? And did Randy Fine really hide under his desk from creditors? Thanks Will, I plan on reading every False Flag until I get it.

Carlson’s son is a Vance aide.

"legal bind delighted Loomer, who takes whatever victories she can when it comes to Carlson."

The rats are chewing each others tail's off. Ya gotta love it.

BTW: When do we get the headlines from the MSM: "GOP in disarray"? Never?

Only pundits on the left get those headlines when they're sniping at each other.

Carlson has a big enough audience that one of his principal commercial sponsors is EveryLife, a "pro-life" brand of *diapers*.

Carlson thus arguably competes with Huckabee for that share of the MAGA Right - a constituency, BTW, that Trump has repeatedly alienated and to which the latter may not want to burn any more bridges.

Carlson is on record saying that he "passionately" "hates" Trump, but he also won a slander suit by convincing a federal. judge that his shtick is just that and not factually serious.

But apparently his lawyers warned him that Israel's President is not some alleged Trump paramour whom he can casually defame and then laugh it off with a judge's connivance. I wonder, though, how Tucker's fans will react now that he's revealed himself to be a pussy.

No, I don't get the thing with Carlson. But Huckabee, yuck. He's so smarmy and "Christian", a caricature of piousness.

I'm no expert on where Huckabees' spirit is going when he shuffles on from this life, but I can't believe so many devout evangelicals have been taken in by him. I'm pretty sure he does indeed think Israel should have the whole shebang.

I believe that Huckabee sees Israel's desires as a next step toward the Apocalypse and Jesus' return. I told my husband that when the nations attack Israel in Revelation 20:7-9, I didn't know it would be because Israel deserved it.

I keep telling Xns that you can support Israel without supporting Netanyahu's aggression or Israel's genocidal actions. God has been mighty unhappy with Israel often (e.g., the majority of the Old Testament and much of the New).

BTW, as an aside, Christian TV is making a beaucoup of $$$$$ on selling Israel's innocence and victimhood. I know Rabbi Jonathon Cahn is all over Xn TV making a "biblical" case for why Israel needs to do what it is doing. Apparently, the mainstream media is lying. Yes, many believe it.

"Huckabee sees Israel's desires as a next step toward the Apocalypse and Jesus' return."

Ding. Ding. Ding. You are correct.

The Evangelical death cult only wants Israel around for one reason. So the death cult prophecy in the Bible can come true. That's where Jeebus comes down and takes all the Evangelicals with him back up to heaven, and he kills all of the Jews.

They’re trying to keep him inside the tent pissing out rather than outside the tent pissing in. Trying to co-opt him if possible.

They won't cut Carlson loose because all the energy in the GOP is bubbling from the base upwards to the 'elite', and the base likes the insane conspiracymongering. As long as he can mobilize his fans, he's a true center of power in the GOP the way that say, a senator isn't.

In fact, I think Carlson is a reasonable choice for kingmaker or even POTUS candidate when Trump has one too many hamburgers and shuffles off the mortal coil.

It would be wrong of me to suggest that Carlson is the white houses special blankie, then again.

Thanks Will. No matter whether it's Tuck or Huck or any of the other swampiest creatures, I know we can count on you to dredge up all the details of their shenanigans.
