Tucker has said multiple times he opposes free markets



"Free" in the sense that a bigger guy is "free" to kill you and take your wife and everything you own because there is no law enforcement and they are more powerful?

It's just machiavellian thinking. The "free" part is just a justification for the complete lack of morality in those who worship wealth alone.
Yeah, corporate oligarchy are just like any other tyranny. If they are perceived to be too powerful and too detached from the citizenry, some form of rebellion is going to happen.

Those who live and die by the stock ticker will continue to sneer at it, as they did when they dismissed Trump as useless "populism". Then populism failed. Socialism has always found purchase in similar circumstances. We can turn back, but those whose entire life is based on their net worth will never see it.
Socialism isn't the answer, but the brand of capitalism currently dominating our nation isn't healthy either. One will destroy us quickly, one is in the process of killing us slowly. Neither are good.
Trump is Trump... a narcissistic a-hole with a healthy God complex. It's what gave him a chance at being effective, but then he wanted to get re-elected so badly that he got bought. Now he's a problem along with all his bad qualities. Really, I'm just ready for him to be done.

Edge, line and QB are positions we haven't had much success with in quite some time.
He could have made a case for war. He didn't. He could have demonstrated his "intelligence" on Iran's nuclear weapon technology. He didn't. He could have acknowledged his own criticism of forever war in the middle east and his turn away from that philosophy. Instead, he called critics names as usual. After decades of Bush's wars and the lies that sold them, he should have known better, but Trump's ego will always be his worst enemy. This will likely go down as the most glaring example of that.
He's a clown. Nothing to see here.
You got a tough lesson coming.
Shut the frick up.

Spending, war and all the things killing our nation are ok, then? Because it would be hard to change it?

You know why it's hard to change? Look in the mirror, bud.

Gee. There's an original, non-modern Hollywood approach.

The ones who dont show up to vote?


That's the good news.

The bad news is when those same people look for an off-the-script alternative. That used to be Trump. It appears to now be communism.

I can promise you they aren't turning out for Marco Rubio.

So why are you wasting time here?


If "political talk" begins and ends with our electoral system, I'd offer you the same question.
China is the driver behind our monopolistic oligarchy.

They're only a bad guy when convenient.
It's always the same thing. "If you don't vote for the globalist puppet we shove in front of you, ____ will get elected and the world is doomed!"

It's a farce. Voting is no longer a way to effectively change a thing. Trump should have been the last bubble popping in that fantasy.
MAGA is over. There is no America first because money is all that matters in this warped reality our nation has become.
To those, Trump is a myth... entirely divorced from the ideas he painted around himself to get elected twice. They still think they're dealing with that person when that person doesn't exist.

In reality, Trump has us in another war, has outspent every President since Reagan not named Biden, is overseeing a poor economy, greenlit the MRNA poison for big pharma and has been consistently thwarted in what policy he has championed by Congress. At best, he's an ineffective leader. At worst, he's a joke.

I couldn’t agree more about these opportunists and grifters. Especially calling out Flynn’s retarded son


But the clown talking about drafts, 50 year loans and calling his own support base "losers" does?

GFY.
He didn't get these Netflix and Bud Light deals just to be funny... which he only moderately is, in any event.

But he's not alone. The GOP needs to worry about those without tv shows that Trump is alienating.
He's no longer worth considering a serious person at all.

No such thing.

It's an evil, corrupt system. Trump was elected because voters believed he had a chance to interrupt or break it. Instead, he became more of the same. The players behind him are corporate backed lesser-knowns like Vance and more neo-cons like Rubio and Cruz. Socialism is a disease, but when given the choice between two evils, many are going to choose the one less tried. It's poor thinking, but in our corrupt, corporate bought electoral system, what choice do voters really have?
