They are just continuing the move to make all opposition illegal, despite our constitutional rights to free speech and to a government that is of/by/for the people. This may backfire as before it was all the libs and dems that were an issue and now some of the biggest repub political commentators are being called out. This may unite vs. divide. TBD

Anyone who is paying attention can see where all of this is headed. The million dollar question is — how will the people respond once the noose gets tightened to the point that none of us can breathe?

Do we fight to get the noose off from around our necks, or just let it continue to tighten and slowly suffocate us to death?

To our overlords, a terrorist is anyone who who does anything, whether physically, digitally or verbally, to thwart their agenda (because not being able to continue fucking over humanity however they please fills their cold, dead hearts with terror). By their criteria, boy am I a terrorist too! 😂

Little man Gorka finally gets his 15 minutes of fame. His 50 points are 50 belches into the wind. Tiny pseudo-Christian hoping to be heard, finally, after years of talking to the loyal few. What is going to surprise us all is the day that we have all had enough, and demonstrate how frail the anti-freedom gang is.

That Gorka dude is seriously flawed. That he is in the position he is in with the qualifications that he has is shocking. But just another clown in the packed wagon of all clown cars aimlessly driven by the biggest clown of them all.

Just some context why it is more than being anti Israel:. Tucker is absolutely an antisemite as well. His most recent interview was with Tyler Oliveira, an antisemitic YouTuber who 'exposed' that Orthodox Jews (my community) legally use welfare because they have large families. To be clear, he is talking about legal welfare use by American citizens who he would be totally ok with and support if they would be white Christians (though not blacks of course). Oliveira couldn't even find people who were unemployed.

Fuentes obviously is an antisemite. He has said in the past to exterminate all noj Christian Jews (although he 'walked it back'. )

Excellent piece. The mainstream press must be more afraid of being targeted by this regime than they are of enabling Big Bro. And that’s how it happens. It’s only really delicious if we like eating shit. Greed for money and power vs. Democracy.

I’ve been saying this for a while now. If the Trump administration intends to crack down on the press, their first move will be against a right-wing apostate. I mean in a bigger way than what we saw with Don Lemon. Why? Because if they are successful in branding someone like Carlson as a terrorist, a lot of people on the left will love to see him go down. Sure, a few of us will complain on principle, but someone like Carlson or Fuentes would not have a lot of defenders.

I’m talking about real DOJ investigations into foreign influence and charges brought, shutting down an outfit like theirs. Trump needs the “left wing nutjob” mainstream media as a foil, a boogeyman. He doesn’t want the backlash we saw over Jimmy Kimmel. But he can’t have major influencers on the right speaking (what is actually) the truth about what he’s doing, especially regarding Iran.

"You don’t have to like Carlson or Fuentes (an avowed anti-Semite who is quite easy not to like)"

Correction: Both avowed antisemites quite easy not to like.

Ken, thanks for this. We really need to talk more about Sebastian Gorka. He’s one of the slimiest, most vile scumbags on the political scene, and unlike most of Trump’s shadow cabinet, he happens to be smart.

Says Humpty Dumpty, "it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."

This is before his great fall.

Really. Have these people got nothing better to do than divide their country? This tired old bullshit goes on and on and as always I wonder what 'left' in the USA. ........there is. not a left.

Tucker making sense about Israel doesn’t absolve him of the way he laughs. He must be jailed for it.

Right on! Dauntless journalism at its best. Thank you again.

I'm kind of tiring of reading about clowns.

I think of the "Night of the Long Knives" when Hitler had Ernst Rohm murdered along with other leaders of the SA, the Brownshirts, because of the threat to Hitler's power they presented. A German citizen at the time could have been forgiven for saying, "wait a minute, I thought they were on the same side!"

Trump cannot have people murdered (I hope!) but Carlson is a huge threat, Fuentes not so much because he is openly antisemitic and makes idiotic comments about Hitler and Stalin in order to grab attention. Carlson projects and all-American boy image complete with the impression of innocence being shocked at what is happening. He has huge political potential far beyond the tainted Vance who can be as mean as any Trumpist and obedient to a fault.

Gorka is another foot-soldier pulling the levers of government to work against we the people. He is yet another Zionist, I don't mean Jewish, alongside the Kushners, Miller, Witkoff, etc. Israel likes this war it wanted us to start and the threat that Carlson is to the "special relationship" with Israel has to be dealt with.

Trump is not just in bed with Zionism, he is buried under many heavy blankets very tightly at the bottom of the bed if not to the point of suffocation, certainly to the point of inability to be critical of Israel in any way. Megadonor Israeli Miriam Adelson waits for Trump to recognize Israeli annexation of the West Bank as he did that of the Golan Heights. Desperation and panic are in effect with Ellison spending hundreds of millions of dollars to give us CBS/60 Minutes with war criminal Netanyahu with the host deferring to him with gravitas as if he were a respected statesman.

Israel is doomed as far as life support from the US goes. Carlson is joined by MTG and Megyn in bringing it about. Expect more crazy things to come as the inevitable is fought with every bit of money and influence that American Zionists can command.
