I agree, there are a lot bigger threats to our country than Tucker Carlson. Just seems like there's a serious bone to pick here with a guy that isn't even in a political positionI think the tucker trigger is set at about 1 lb around here. This should raise it to about 2 lbs.

Millions.... TC has 5 million followers on twitter maybe another 3.5- 4 million on TV.
I agree and to that point @VikingsGuy and @wllm1313 opinions don't matter but we also don't reach like 5 million people every time we post something.
i dunno, my tucker trigger is practically at 0.01 anymore. whether i agree with a point he is making or not, it seems his only goal is to inflame and pull ratings. he's clearly become a glaring symptom of everything that has been grotesquely wrong with the toxic tribalism in our country these past, i dunno, 4 to 10 years. cnn commentators are just as bad, but tucker is the subject of this conversation.
he doesn't add anything substantive to a situation, he gives one side or group of people ammo to demonize another within our own country. so constructive

Very well said. There are definitely perks of no longer having a cable subscription.i dunno, my tucker trigger is practically at 0.01 anymore. whether i agree with a point he is making or not, it seems his only goal is to inflame and pull ratings. he's clearly become a glaring symptom of everything that has been grotesquely wrong with the toxic tribalism in our country these past, i dunno, 4 to 10 years. cnn commentators are just as bad, but tucker is the subject of this conversation.

TC filled the O Reilly cancellation and Hannity inanity void quite effectively. I agree with him much more often than the Cuomo/Lemon/Maddow bunch.
This is my whole point. People here are guilty of the same thing they're accusing the "tribals" of...
Bashing Tucker or Don Lemon til we're blue in the face doesn't solve anything. It's just another form of "tribalism"

Having an opinion doesn't make you a member of a tribe.
No, but bashing the other side and claiming "they're the problem" is pretty close

The decline and fall of the fourth estate might be one of the most serious problems that this country faces

Hum> Since 2014 40,000 Ukrainians have been killed in the Donbass war. I guess then when the world started calling it a Russian invasion it then stopped being a civil war? and now the Donbass war is over.
Donbass War/Eastern Ukraine Rebellion (2014-Present)- Following the fall of the government, pro-Russian militias (primarily in Ukraine’s east), began activities designed to weaken the Kiev government’s grip on those areas inhabited more by Russian-speaking Ukrainians. Combat between these militias and government forces escalated into what can now be described as a rebellion against the authority of the central government. While Russia is clearly supporting the rebels, Moscow denies sending in their own troops to aid the rebels, though both Ukrainian government and some Western sources believe that Russian military forces are operating in eastern Ukraine.

I sure hope you are right, in this info-centric world we find ourselves in it might be more important than ever

@88man Read up on the history of the horn of Africa post Italian occupation onward. This whole discussion is a Red Herring and doesn't belong in the discussion of events in the Ukraine.

40,000 dead in 9 years. Sounds like the Mother of all Insurections to me.
I know and it makes me mad at myself to agree at all with what he says, ever. Maybe the one time...lol.
I can only take so much MSM anymore. They are all in on war and none have ever served. $
Was talking with my sister and she reminded me of dad saying we should learn Russian as a language. He said they would be a thorn in our side for ever and knowledge is power. 1967 and a veteran of the Mermansk run to save Russia in WWII.
The other problem we would face is in the middle east, he said. Oil.
He reminded me we were the only ones crazy enough to drop the bomb...that was a card to hold and not use.
In 2013, 50,000 Alabamians died
In 1 year.
So, it's really 1/10th as bad as living in Alabama, which is bad enough.

I've only been to Alabama once. Never been to Eastern Ukraine but think I'll pass on it.
