You’re grounded

You can lock all of these threads of political nature as far as I’m concerned.

Have we all said our piece yet? I don't think dragging this conversation on any further is going to go anywhere productive.

Can we get back to discussing this trainwreck of an administration?

Sure; everything they have touched they've destroyed. 

Someone explain this Sudan situation to me like I'm 5...

So when a 5 year old asks you to explain something to them, you're first reaction is m"Hey kid, go read this Wall Street Journal article"?

19 nations have requested to join BRICS ahead of their annual summit in South Africa. 

In news that should be welcomed by anyone with an IQ above room temperature, both Tucker and Don Lemon got released into the wild by their respective news stations.

While I hope to never hear about either of them ever again, I’m certain we will.

I guess I should be ashamed to admit I actually like Tucker Carlson but I’m not. This obviously means I agree with everything he’s ever said about anything.

I don't watch too much television anymore. I never watched much of it anyway, but working midnights really cuts that activity down to almost zero. But I've seen a lot of people that I follow on youtube, that are on the left, mention the fact that Tucker gets to tell the truth too often and they can't figure out why. When they show clips of him it is usually something Tucker is talking about, in a favorable manner, that supports left ideals. Off the top of my head, I remember some topics to be Nordstream, anti-war, and having lefties on his show.

All of those things are enough to piss FOX off and I am not sure why the station has allowed it to go on for so long, but now it looks like they've finally had enough and aren't putting up with it anymore.

*Edit*
Also, I saw a vid yesterday or the day before of Don Lemon trying to pull the race card on Vivek Ramaswamy and Ramaswamy intellectually slayed him. It was pretty funny!

As for Don Lemon, I'm sure some other station will want to pick him up. Name recognition means a lot to these medias. Maybe he'll end up on FOX, wouldn't THAT be a hoot?!

I hate to keep on editing so I'll just spam instead!

But I'm watching a Jimmy Dore vid right now and he's got a guest host on his show that is featuring a Tucker Carlson clip. In it, Tucker says " the latest group of Americans to find their Constitutionally protected opinions become felonies are, believe it or not, an organization of black nationalist left wingers who oppose the war in Ukraine"

Seems like a pretty out of the ordinary statement for FOX and I'm sure that station's ass is on fire right now.

The vid I'm watching:

Seems like a genuine guy. I’d definitely have a beer with him. 

Still the greatest Tucker video of all time pic.twitter.com/IQvJNLuPZN

Tucker was once a contributor on MSNBC, I think, which goes to show that he really is more of an actor than anything.

And Don Lemon once speculated about the possibility of Malaysian Flight 370 "disappearing into a black hole".

Lemon was basically telling an Indian American, whose skin is as dark if not darker than Lemon’s, that he isn’t “dark enough to have an opinion”

Interesting perspective on the situation in Sudan from someone there. If this is to be believed it’s just another proxy war between the US and Russia, which certainly seems plausible.

The Nile river, strategic Red Sea coastline, valuable minerals, impoverished population, foreign powers jockeying for influence. 

I'm completely ignorant of what's going on in the Sudan. Luckily we have Sparks around, the adult in the room lol

I don't want to get into a 50 page argument, but are we just glossing over the fact that what he was saying wasn't true?

(if you believe its true thats fine i definitely dont want to argue about it. Imo not only isn't it not true, but from my knowledge and what i have read throughout my life its actually quite the opposite.)
