Let me point out: Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson was born in 1969. He does not personally remember the 1950s, and he’s more than old enough to have figured out that change is a human constant, not a personal affront.
Tucker Carlson rails against America’s demographic changes. “Most immigrants are nice … this is more change than human beings are designed to digest." Tell that to Native Americans, Tucker. https://t.co/GHFfj2JyLO via @voxdotcom

Carlson "told the American Conservative in February, 'We have wonderful neighbors, and we love it. And what’s not to love? Our neighborhood looks exactly like it did in 1955.'" Not even subtle. https://t.co/FqHINoZyRF

I encourage you to click over & read all of Michael Harriot’s hilarious excoriation of the “sentient celery stalk” at The Root:
… Here we should point out that Hispanic immigrants have not pushed out Hazelton’s white population. There are just as many, or more white people in Hazelton as there have always been. There are just more Hispanics now. Hazelton just grew. Hazelton’s white residents are free to have as many white friends as they always had. For them, absolutely nothing has changed except they are now outnumbered. There’s a name for people who want to hold on to that kind of society:
White supremacists
Carlson’s entire argument is based on the fact that he doesn’t want to live around brown people. More pointedly, he doesn’t want to be a minority. But if—like Tucker often claims—he’s not a bigot and racism is overblown, why would he have any problem being a minority? After all, he’d still be white…
But he’d never know what those “Hispanics” were saying to each other, in their weird inscrutable furrin languages. They might even be laughing at him!
(Spoiler, Mr. Carlson: Even us monolingual White people are perfectly capable of laughing at you… )
MisterForkbeard
You don’t understand! Tucker’s not RACIST, he just believes he can’t cope with too many brown people around him at a time!
It’s scientific, I pinky swear.

well, if we’re following the money and we’re assured that Bobby Three Sticks is in fact doing that…
Does the money being dumped into the Cambridge Analytica coffers imply that Vlad was hedging his bets by supporting a wide range of candidates in hopes of compromising the eventual winner, while his main horse was DJT?
Does it also imply that since the Russians were in fact behind the DCCC hacks and the apparent links that they were working with the GOP not only at the national level, but at ALL electoral levels, that the majority of the GOP party is in fact compromised? I know that the MSM is apparently lagging behind on that idea, but based on how the evidence/information is being provided and the number of dots that are lining up, is there still a hope that there WILL be elections in 2018 and if so, will they be legit?
How can that possibility be continually overlooked by the press? Oops, sorry, I forgot that unless it is in their interest to be discovered, it won’t be talked about… despite the fact that we’re dealing with the whopper of an actual treasonous administration, is the MSM unable to do the next intuitive leap and understand that all of those fuckers that they so desperately want access to are also apparently just as complicit?
Do all of these 4th estate bastards even know where they live or do they simply consider themselves to be citizens of the planet?

It’s always weirdly horrifying to discover some right-wing asshole is the same age as me.
Of course, Ice Cube is also the same age as me (to the day), so I guess I’m some kind of average between the two.

I will cheerfully laugh at Mr. Carlson, but first I want to punch his face a couple of times. These people are arousing in me a violent streak I didn’t know I possessed.

Gosh, Tucker just think of the trouble we could have avoided back in the day if we could have kept those people out!
ETA: I graduated from an all male Jesuit prep school, and hence have extensive experience with hibernian ball busters. Some of their forebears definitely should have been kept out.

Carlson is certainly a piece of work. He appears to have always lived in a controlled environment, went to a boarding school, attended a small private college. He could just wall himself off in a gated community and let less bigoted people get on with their lives.

@piratedan:
Re: the republican party’s treason, the MSM ain’t saying anything ’til they find a way to both-sider it. As soon as Killary comes clean about Uranium One the current subversion of democracy may get a small article in the Farmer’s Almanac.
I know there are a million reasons for the miserable failure of the American free press but I really think the MSM has come to believe the right-wing malarkey about their alleged liberal bias. Therefore they always slant right, and since they already have a right-wing bias to begin with we end up the constant drumbeat of Clinton-did-it-too-and-probably-while-wearing-a-pantsuit-that-hag.
I also think a lot of the MSM’s right-wing bias is just lazy thinking—they lap up the Fox talking points because it’s easier than looking at the facts and drawing their own conclusions.
True story: if the Trump regime suspends elections CNN will find a way to drag the conversation around to FDR interning the Japanese or Bill Clinton’s indiscretions.

Does F*cker Tarleson even know about the many places in the us, like sw Texas, when many of the Mexican families have been there since before the anglos figured out they could ranch, robe the resources, and generally be a pain in the ass when they came and settled?. Hence, the Alamo, for example.
Mnemosyne
@MoxieM:
True story: Texas became a “republic” and then joined the US because the Anglos were pissed that Mexico had outlawed slavery. There are quite a few people in Mexico who are descended from Black Texans who fled deeper into Mexico to avoid being re-enslaved.
(Lin-Manuel Miranda found out a couple of years ago that he is descended from one of those families on his mother’s side.)
Chet Murthy
@Mnemosyne: Also true story. When I was growing up (70s), they didn’t teach that in either of the two semesters of Texas History (once in middle school, once in high school, as I remember). I forget what rationale was given for the Texas Revoution, but it sure wasn’t slavery.
And while it’s *possible* that that was only in my school (Weatherford, TX), the fact that schoolbooks in TX are mandated at the state level, leads me to believe that this was the state of affairs all over Texas.
Fuckers. Couldn’t even teach the truth.

@Jay: Heh. I just searched for “Tejano” in Wikipedia. That’s the term I remember for “Texans of spanish/mexican descent”. Turns out the description of the Texas Revolution on that page makes -no- reference to slavery. Love it! Damn, denial is a river in Texas!

If there’s no elections, there will be riots, or at least mass protests. That will hasten the GOP’s demise.

What an amazing string of obviously false bullshit.
The younger Ben Franklin 250 years ago complained in the same way about those very dark and weird looking Germans with their jarring foreign ways, who would never learn English.
Ben wised up, so maybe Tucker will too. But very doubtful. Tucker will get elected to the Royal Society first.

@? ?? Goku (aka Amerikan Baka) ? ?:
There will be elections. Even the most desperately partisan state governments like North Carolina have not dared to touch them. Trump is certainly to lazy to, and the machinery of government expects to do it. Elections have huge inertia. In much the same way, despite Trump’s wish everyone would ignore judicial decisions against him, they get enforced.

@Calouste: News here on the UK side says ‘EU allies’ are preparing to expel Russian diplomats. Then there will be the reciprocal Russian expulsion of those countries’ diplomats. I’m personally hoping (as I’ve said here on many occasions) that the bastard has overplayed his Brexit hand with this one and we get a second referendum. CambAnalysis ratf^cking re: Brexit could do the trick, and today’s the day they’re (UK) supposed to get their warrant.
On a separate note, isn’t Tucker the guy who was on MSNBC as a moderate conservative until just after the election? He should have been boycotted by MSNBC viewers, petitions circulated, etc. He was never a moderate, he’s always been this vile, and never should have been allowed to be presented as anything other to viewers.

@Steve in the ATL:
So today you’re “in the ATL.” Yesterday you were “in the DFW.” Last week (I think) you were “in the SFO.”
Why not save yourself (and us) some time by making it a catchall, such as “in the TBD,” “in the ***,” “in the IHNFI,” “in the WTFKW,” or “in the WUNB.” Might help some of us with low IQs.
And in case the abbreviations weren’t clear:
IHNFI = I Have No Fucking Idea
WTFKW = Who The Fuck Knows Where
WUNB = Wherever Unions Need Busting
On a more serious note: not sure how you hold up from all the flying. I would think it gets tiresome after a time.

A rather short time actually.
You get semi used to it for a while and then the hassle factor sets in. It isn’t the actual plane ride as much as all the wasted time standing/sitting, just waiting for something to happen. I used to be able to get to the airport about 1/2 hr before departure with just a reservation. Print my pass at the kiosk, walk to the gate and board. Now it takes a minimum of an hour and security is like a chow line in the service, stand in line, shuffle forward, the service and the product is so very underwhelming but you don’t have a choice, then find a place to sit and spend a while not enjoying your time before anything else happens. I tried to tell myself that flying is fun, but lying to one’s self really doesn’t work after you are what, 4 yrs old.
