    It's an opinion that Carlson can start a podcast? I'm pretty sure he can.

    If Carlson makes a podcast called "Let's Eat Babies" and he convinces people to eat babies to the tune of millions, it's still a moral good, because it upsets liberals.
    It's the only value "conservatism" has anymore.

    I think the real question is when fucker runs for president will @Bill Carson commit voting fraud to vote for him more than one time?

    You REALLY need to look up the definition of facts and opinions.

    Or look up the Richard Dawkins (cunt at he might have turned out to be) example about polar bear camouflage.

    Right up to the point he actually starts one, yes, because there's a chance he doesn't know how, doesn't want to, etc etc etc

    LA Times are reporting it has to do with the discrimination suit filed by former producer Abby Grossman, combined with Murdooch's concerns about Tucker's coverage of the election. Dominion says it wasn't directly due or part of their settlement.

    Rupert Murdoch ordered the firing personally.

    Any way to twist things around so you can be right, I guess.

    Not really - it's quite likely Carlson CAN start a podcast, but it's not a FACT that he can. You even allude to this in your own post ("pretty sure") but you do have this issue with confusing your own opinion with facts.

    On the other hand, when I say you support fascist cunts, I'm open about it being my opinion, but you don't do much to provide evidence to the contrary.

    Olbermann is almost certainly over the moon as well. He hates Carlson and Rupert with a passion.

    That's because your opinions are not based on reality and you offer no proof for your claims.

    No, it is a fact that Carlson has the capability to start a podcast (but then again, pretty much anyone who has money and/or who can fog a mirror can start a podcast). But of course, that's not what you said.

    It is an opinion that "Tucker Carlson will be back on his feet in no time. All he has to do is negotiate a deal with Spotify or something and start a podcast and he will have an even larger audience."

    Which is what you posted. There is no guarantee that Carlson "will be back on his feet in no time." even though, as I said, it's likely.

    There is also no guarantee that if he starts a podcast that "he will have an even larger audience" than he did at Fox. That strikes me as far less likely.

    It's a fact that he can start a podcast. He is physically able to start one. That's a fact. But please continue to distract from the absolute fact that you can't show me how my statement is somehow showing support for Tucker Carlson.

    Show me the posts that shows my support for Tucker Carlson. Show me the posts that contain something Carlson/Fox News stories I've posted. Show me the Tucker Carlson videos I've posted over the years. You keep making this claim that I watch Tucker Carlson, it should be easy for you to find posts where I reference Tucker Carlson. I know you wouldn't just post some stupid shit that is not rooted in reality and I know that you wouldn't just fling insults without you being able to back them up. I also know you wouldn't just make shit up.

    It's an opinion that you did show support for Tucker Carlson through your previous post. (Though not necessarily my opinion).

    It's a fact that I never claimed that you did show support for Tucker Carlson through your previous post.

    The fact that you have not answered a simple question posed to you about what you would think if Tucker bounced back from this with a bigger audience than he had at Fox might lead one to the opinion that you are happy about that possibility but unwilling to acknowledge it.

    As has been explained to you before, even if you don't watch him, then you must be watching someone who gets their marching orders from him.
    Walking quacking ducks, and all that.
    Your whole thing of licking Putin's taint in the Ukraine thread comes from Tucker.
    There's no "independent thinkers" coming up with this shit, they all copy-paste it from him word for word.
    It's one example, but the only one I need.

    So, why do you care what left leaning politicians and other public persons think or do?

    And trans people having rights makes a flying disembodied pee-pee fly into your mouth.
    Oh, wait, no, nothing happens, and it's none of your business.

    It's your opinion that there's no independent thinkers coming up with this shit. It's your opinion that people can't come to similar conclusions about things. How do you even know what Tucker Carlson says if you you don't watch the show? I don't see how not wanting to continue funding the Military Industrial Complex is me somehow "licking Putin's taint". What the hell happened to the anti-war section of the Democratic Party? The must have been run off by the war mongers.

    I don't have a problem with trans people having rights. Where are you getting this from? Where have I said trans people don't deserve rights?

    It's an informed opinion based on there's no such thing as direct telepathy so far as science can prove/disprove.
    Minus telepathy, they're lifting these crappy ideas in a boring mundane conventional way.

    Or it could be that two friends sit at a bar and discuss what they they think about a certain story that's in the news and they both come to the same or similar conclusions. Did you ever think about that? Jesus

    Do I have to oppose a specific legislation to in general not agree with how they want to run the country? We could start with Biden spending like a drunken sailor.

    If you oppose government spending, why didn’t you rail against it when trump was president?

    And if you do oppose government spending, you should be opposed to a lot of shit you approve (at least on this board) like bailouts and unlimited military spending and ongoing wars and, well, basically every post you’ve ever made here suggests you do not understand government spending so calling Biden out on it, suggests you have no idea what yoou’re talking about.

    Ah, yes, your loophole being the things they want don't count as rights.
    Like being left in peace from bigot harassing.
