Cromwell, everything you hate about hidden agendas

[Suff]

Have a view.

You'll need to go to X and play the video and need 46 minutes to spare. But the story is pretty harrowing. The way it is still covered in the US press is also very telling.

Tucker Carlson, far-right devotee, white supremacist, conspiracy theorist, Fox News 'analyist' and Trumpist.

Such a reliable source of truth.

Thanks for the belly laugh. Loved it.

Blimey Suff.
They say that politics is a dirty business and that certainly was dirty! Funny clip of the drunken speaker though.

Sleepy Joe has his own problems now though.
Senator Joe Menendez (Dem, New Jersey) has been indicted for allegedly accepting bribes. A search of his house by Federal agents found $100,000 worth of gold bars and $480,000 in cash, stuffed into envelops, clothes, safes, etc.
Menendez is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee

But then Republicans are super clean...

There are bad apples everywhere, you just have to look beyond your own personal microscope to find them.

You didn't watch the video did you WM. I don't follow Tucker Carson but that one was an eye opener in any circles.

As Cromwell says politics may be a dirty business but that little piece of skulduggery was one for the record books.

Not only did he survive the impeachment but with a 60% electorate backing he is going to clean house with EXTREME sanction.

As would I.

Suff, you are so wrong. I watched it all, from the test card at the start to the mutual "Thank Yous" at the end. Two mates, Paxton and Carlson, chewing the cud and agreeing with each other. It was their show, their views, no questions allowed.

It was designed to get the unthinking to accept their "truth" I clocked that... you might have missed it. It was an advert for the Tucker on X channel and you fell for it.

I am the archest (if there such a word) of arch centrists.

I feel free to acclaim or criticise the right and left without fear or favour. My blinkers are off. I question and am not afraid to challenge.

George Santos - any views?

George Santos - any views?

A lot of evidence seems to point to him being corrupt.

Surely not, he's a Republican, an angel. Corrupt can't be right.

Carlson will do an X to explain it all. We need the truth, after all.

So you can impeach an AG, gag him, refuse to pay him, against the law and then this is OK because Tucker Carlson aired it?

Nice.

It was corrupt republicans who went after the Texas AG. In fact the Democrat vote is a single consolidated bloc. Republicans are very fragmented.

But it is Carlson reporting so it's not an issue.
