Smart folks in advertising were like... why are we paying a 12x premium for shitty NBA spots.
His message of, "people should not be judged by their skin color," is just right wing propaganda
Hitler also didn't want to judge people by their skin color! Remember MLK's dream speech "I have a dream that we will judge people on the color of their skin, and that whitey is bad!"
If the commies take over they will change history just like this.
"The content of your character isn't just secondary! It doesn't matter at all! All that matters is the color of your skin and how it has affected you! If you don't agree with my politics, you ain't black! And if you are white and don't agree you must be cancelled, you must be beaten, you must be purged and deplatformed! There will be no forgiveness for such bigots!" - the great Martin Luther King.
I thought Biden said that.
Too coherent
He had a teleprompter at the time, If I remember correctly.
C'mon man. We'll judge people by the table of their contents, you know, the thing!
By their index, Joe?
You certainly don't. ;)
The "content of character is out of the window now. The postmodern, critical race theory, etc. dictate that character is only a product of one's "lived experience". Truth it self is a product of ones "lived experience".
A black guys feelings about reality determines "his truth". Him acting out is a product of the reality he grew up in. It it therefore justifiable to fight the "oppressor".
If you remove all objective reality then every action becomes acceptable.
No. You can't remove reality. No matter how hard you trye.
COME ON MAN COCAINE JOE BIDEN is a RACIST in his own words.No one is black unless they vote for Biden. This is According to Joe Biden in his own words.#YouAintBlackBiden https://youtu.be/Txj9QY3qCuQ ......PS: MANY SAY CENSUS SAYS BIDEN’s FAMILY OWNED SLAVES ...
Wait, If I'm White and I vote for ‡iden, I'll become black?
Holy cow do you work for the WaPo?
Literally. MLK was a Republican, and was spied on by the Democrats in the FBI who tried to sexually blackmail him.
Democrats were pro-segregation then and are still trying to push that from the other side in colleges these days. The party swap is a mere propaganda trick.
judging people by their character is so racist.
And the CA dem controlled legislature is in the process of removing the state's civil rights act so they can...
Judge people by the color of their skin AGAIN!
Thank you and only need to add Orange Man Bad.
takes a sip from my zero water, reclines back into my mypillow
I got a promotion this week. I want to treat myself to a MyPillow!
Don't forget to read the instructions which say to throw said Mypillow into a dryer on very hot heat, so it fluffs up like the greatness it is when done so.
Machine Warshable
This pede Mypillows.
Scrunch it up to fit into your microwave and run it on "HIGH" (or "HIGH!!!", if you have that setting).
When the pillow liquifies, the germs are all dead.
I have a MyPillow. It’s great! We use wool dryer balls and they helped with the fluff up process as well in the hot dryer.
They are worth it. Never hot & always comfy.
They’re too fluffy. I have like 10 of them but I use my daughters purple pillow that came with her mattress. Too fluffy tilts my neck and makes me snore.

Who's this fag?
People can have difference in opinions. As long as he doesn't bash the president, everything else is fair game really.
Why would you call the only man speaking truth to power on network television a cuck? You know his numbers are only going up because he's the only person worth listening to on TV
He was referencing anaconda, a well known troll here, and cuckoldry enthusiast.
The deleted comment I replied to was anaconda
Hahahahahahahahahaha
That dude needs a girlfriend. BAD.
Lol, seriously scroll down from this comment. He's already here crapping on tucker.
Please tell me - what does "truth to power" actually mean? I never could figure it out.
I can only tell you what I mean by it. I mean that he is the only voice in the mainstream that is bringing attention to just how ineffectual our leaders are. And he doesn't quite say it, but if you read between the lines the story shifts to just how badly we were being sold out and milked by our leadership in Congress ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE. He is the only voice highlighting how radical the left wing of this country is turning and also how weak the conservative leaders are playing. I have watched him call out how republicans have been promoting and underdog mentality; both to explain why they never get anything done ever and to fundraise by playing up the dem's power to their base to galvanize them into donating.
You can tell he's the only one by the vehement reaction to him by the left. They go to his home and intimidate his family. They target his advertising, which has is the most effective way to shut him up because if Fox isn't making money they can justify taking him out of the primetime slots. But he will not be silenced, and I for one appreciate him greatly and will do what I can to support him for it.
Thx, I totally agree abt Tucker. I watched Tucker since before he even had a show on Fox, and just used to fill in for, or be a guest on Hannity, or it might have even been Bill O'Reilly - can't remember. Always though he was outstanding & wished he had a show rather than others on back then. Then one day, he did!
But I just don't understand what "Truth to Power" means. It doesn't mean anything to me. What is Truth to Power? The Left says it or used to say it all the time and that is probably why it annoys me so much, (that wasn't a put-down that you said it, just asked you because I thought you might know what the heck it is supposed to mean exactly).
It's quite literal, telling the truth to people in power. This is often hard to do because the truth is not what they want to hear. Take, for example, any liberal. They censor the truth because it is inconvenient politically, and there are powerful people who have built themselves up off those lies. If you threaten them they will come for you, which is why "truth to power" is an evocative phrase
Not only is the truth something they don't want to hear, but a lot of people with a LOT of power don't even want to be seen as the "Power" that needs truth spoken to it.
I mean, a party with 90+% of the press willing to straight out LIE for them (in addition to the more subtle slant, framing, selective editing, adjectival choice and coverage selection methods of propagandizing) can hardly be considered the plucky underdogs of the political world. Despite what your sister-in-laws girlfriend might say.
Wow, I just did not comprehend it. I never heard it explained and heard people shouting about it, just annoyed me and I didn't see any result of "it". Perfect, it is not "magically" somehow turning truth (whatever someone's "truth" is, into power, however they planed on doing that?) - that is more what I was thinking they were stupidly saying. What you say is clear, EASY, and not the direction I thought it was coming from at all. Totally get it now. Thx sooooo much!
Tucker lives rent-free in your head snake-oil.
He has for a while now been number one in viewers. I think this is saying he is number one in ad revenue too.
Those are called straws, and you are grasping at them.
I don't even read the comment anymore. I see tucker, I see Anaconda, I downvote.
I didn't recognize until later in the thread. TIL, douches come in XXL too.
yeah i dont read any of his posts. he's an idiot.
he believed fake news about McCloskey being a lifelong democrat for over a month and he called me a fucking cuck when i corrected him with a source but thanked someone else who thanked me for it.
This dude's a dipshit.
Yeah 4M viewers is meaningless - they could pull all commercials from his hour and still pay for his production costs 10x over just with the residual viewers from the following hour. Advertisers don't ignore these types of numbers. Unless Suzanne Scott pulls an A&E style seppuku, I think TC will do just fine.
You’re still alive?
Wow, I have said that so many times. I felt like no one ever heard of it. That is exactly what this has reminded me of so many times. smh
It’s criminal that we don’t have a stickied watch party thread for his shows.
Love Tuck
Agree! Good idea pede:)
COPY AND PASTE TUCKER COMMENTARY ALL OVER THE NET....
THE LEFT CAN NOT DEFEAT HIM...AND THE RIGHT IS NOT PROMOTING HIM ENOUGH.
Tucker only wants trump to be stronger. You can’t fix a weakness if you refuse to address it.
No we also need to be an echo chamber and refuse to reflect on our short comings and figure out how to be better we can be the new left. /S
I, apparently, need a new "look', too. I am repeatedly told the one I have is not a "good" one?
The weapon 'TUCKER' should be used against leftist targets...
The Tucker is not effective against COVFEFE protected targets... but is especially effective against Leftist and Marxist targets...
Keep safety on, read instruction booklet before use.
How is any of that wrong? Last I checked Obama actually used the DOJ and FBI. If a coup attempt was made on the Democrats, the Right would all be in jail. Tell me where I'm wrong.
You are a deluded dickhead.
Tucker has the best show on TV - hands down
Ingraham ahead of Hannity. Not surprising.. she's much better.
Mother fucking Streisand Effect!
In an industry of emasculated liars, Tucker stands tall.
Dats a lotta pillows
This guy says he still reads CNN online for news. Seriously?
You know how I know you are gay? You read cnn online for news while dancing to show tunes.
I like Tucker. Can't listen to some of his guests though. The radical leftists he invites get muted.
This deserves the position of debate moderated.
Disney sjws got got recently too.
As a marketer, it amazes me that Tucker can only get shady advertisers like My Pillow and various geriatric gadget peddlers. A smart corporation, say a car maker or a major restaurant, should be able to look at the numbers and do the math. Cancel culture virtue signaling pussies have them running scared. You gonna boycott McDonald’s or Jeep? Good luck with that.
And yet big companies like McDonalds exclusively pander to the extreme left.
No offense to you, but your business is cucked. I'm convinced major marketing firms are now filled with woke diversity hires that have no idea what sells and promote virtue signaling over profits. Hence companies keep getting woke and going broke.
No offense taken. 100% factual. My company now hires based on skin color.
What I’m saying is corporations are ultimately about the bottom line. When they find that the rage mob will only bite them in the ass, they’re really going to wake up.(See Wheeler, Ted) And the first one to buy time on Tucker is going to discover a loyal base who appreciate good things and will buy them.
Pillow guy is perfect proof. I bought one of his pillows. Doesn’t quite live up to the best sleep I’ve ever had in my life, guaranteed hype.
During the boycott I bought products advertising on the show. My wife and I love our MyPillows - the most comfortable pillows EVER! Now I think about conservative values all day long and sleep with my brain resting on right wing deplorable propaganda. I awaken refreshed every day and MAGA all day long.
I basically never watched it before. Since mid august i've been watching it every. single. day. i know i'm not alone. it's the only tv news media where you'll hear the truth about what's happening in america.
When Jimmy Dore and Ben Shapiro both applaud your truth-telling efforts, that's an accomplishment.
Thanks that’s great to hear
Funny, when you tell the truth you usually end up just fine. Get woke, go broke!
You can’t cuck the Tuck
I love when Mark Steyn and him shoot the shit. It’s hilarious
This should speak mountains to the rest of Fox News that we like people who fight back.
I switched from Tmobile because they dropped his ads. Talkusa is cheaper and owned by veterans. Yet somehow Tmobile keeps updating something on my phone anyway.
As an aside, you really should be reading Don Surber if you are not already. He's a based ex newspaper man. Very insightful, with a wicked sense of humor.

It's not like the people calling for a boycott even watched his show to begin with. What were they honestly expecting?
Tucker doesn't cower to their shit. Americans prefer people who don't spend their lives on their knees.
Willie likes people on their knees, right Cum-ala?
He was vetted and came out winning
Haha, even though Maddow's audience is twice the size of Cuomo and Cooper's, she still earns roughly the same. Guess it ain't easy to sell to the "Free Stuff" crowd.
Companies selling stuff don't truly care about your political views. Or rather SUCCESSFUL companies selling stuff, don't care. They go where the eyeballs are. You can virtue signal yourself to bankruptcy if you prefer. Just one of the great things about capitalism.
Well, actually, "it is what it is" is the tautology called The Law of Identity, except where "it" (or A) is ill-defined. You know, same as "A=A, but I'm not sure what A is."
It has been overused, and ill-used, but as a statement describing the state of one's knowledge of a thing or situation, it is sometimes accurate and useful.
/Well, Actually Guy
What bugs me is when people preface their statements with "Well, actually..."
You can't really boycott something you don't interact with anyway. For example, I'm not boycotting sports because I was never interested in watching them in the first place. You could argue I boycott apple products, because I do buy similar products from other companies but refuse to buy apple products.
