Tucker, the useful idiot Carlson, declares himself pro-Russia and "radicalized against our leaders"

[TommyLucchese]

My word. He really did the mom from Arrested Development thing: “How much can a banana cost? Nine dollars?”

@Gaius

It is scary how easily supposedly intelligent people are fooled into supporting repressive dictators.

agreeing with Tucker here is not support of any dictators. He is demonstrating comparing contrasting rather how awful some Democrat controlled locations are getting versus grocery stores in Russia.

He is pointing out how much worse it is in some places in the US versus where he is standing in that store and he’s right

People should radicalize against the idiotic deranged leftist policies and leadership that lead to what’s happening to some of the stores and standards of living around the US but no, these idiots get supported more and more

The idiot left could take a good lesson from Tucker here, but since it highlights their failures and idiocy, they’re afraid to face it

@thinkingman

Tucker did not say food was cheaper in Russia. He’s pointing out how through destructive leftist policies giving to crime filth and destruction are not happening in Russian grocery stores in other words in the “heart of evil” they have a better standard of living (in thus regard anyway) than you lefty Paradise inner city ■■■■ holes

Russia is a country where one of their biggest problems is that a lot of people’s cars don’t have working heaters, so they drink vodka from the bottle while they’re driving to stay warm.

I know. the United States is a country where one of their biggest problems is inner city crime decimating grocery store, and drugstore chain after store after chain

And this stems from all of the drugs, at least in part that come through our gigantically wide open borders. it also stems from flagrantly, idiotic, failing, leftist policies of the communities where this takes place

[Gaius]

@thinkingman

nor does Tucker dispute this

No, and your very very non-radical re-interpretation of what Tucker said
does not al all sound radical. Does Tucker not speak well? Is his English so bad he is incapable of saying what he means?

Tucker is saying “Stuff here costs only pennies so democracy and capitalism doesn’t matter.” (And he is wrong on both parts.)
At best, . . . hopefully He is only being a spoiled brat who is saying mean things about his mommy because he’s having a childish temper tantrum. But increasingly, I don’t think even that’s it.

As long as the trains run on time, some people will support Pol Pot.

and i’m the one doing wild “radical interpretations….”

[thinkingman]

here’s why tucker is comparing that grocery store to your lefty paradises. given the choice i’d rather shop in russia than in these locations

and the leftists who support this (with outright legislation) keep getting elected. democrats love this lifestyle evidently. it’s so “progressive”

At least he’s not wandering around with a charcuterie board

[Gaius]

Wait a minute I don’t get that.

@Gaius

@thinkingman

thanks for posting the video

i agree with him 100%, at least in this segment

Does it need to be explained that Putin is a dictator?
That he controls the media?
That he jails and kills his political opponents?
That he is

Does it need to be explained that, because of him, Russia has one of the most-repressed, least free economies in the world?
That lack of economic freedom causes mass poverty?
(Which makes those same groceries unaffordable at local incomes?)

In terms of economic freedom (capitalism) Putin’s Russia is much closer to North Korea than to any of the rich free countries of the world,
-and-
Throughout the world and throughout every region free economies have a much higher standard of living than unfree economies.

MAGA loves Putin. It’s weird.

Oh dear god. Just stop.

I know it’s hard to be supporting all of the policies that are causing the stores to leave and close down, etc. and that those stores in Russia actually makes your policies look so bad sorry

You should move to Russia.

[thinkingman]

@tnt

You should move to Russia.

i’d rather officials here stop making it worse than russia

i know thats embarrassing to you and democrats huh?

[mot1man]

Maybe the woke ass progressives and far left democrats should stop driving this country over a cliff.

Every policy pushed by your beloved leaders has done nothing but add to the further downfall of this once great country.

[thinkingman]

worse than Russia. Sorry Democrats. from last month:

In-N-Out to close only Oakland store as crime ravages California

maybe it’s finally time you radicalize against your idiot leaders

Tucker does not address this. Yes I agree.

also agree, and nor does Tucker dispute this, but he is standing in a grocery store that is not being decimated or shoplifted to death, like we keep seeing in our beloved cities

I was in a Kroger yesterday and no signs of it being decimated or shoplifted to death. Of course that does not mean other supermarkets in the US are not experiencing that. Carlson standing in one supermarket in the entirety of Russia does not prove anything either

Its a ridiculous statement to say that a visit to one supermarket and a visit to central Moscow where I am sure Carlson stayed in a top hotel and ate at the best restaurants is in anyway an indication of what life is like for the average Russian.

fair enough but his point still stands.

@Nemesis

this is no different than you shopping at pristine kroger

what he described is happening here in us and it contrasts well to at least some of Russia’s food stores.

@thinkingman

No. His point is idiotic.

He claims that because he paid - what was it? $100? For all this food, that means Russia is doing great, completely ignoring the fact that the average Russian makes $800 a month.

But hey, whatever - join him in believing Russia is superior to America.

Reminder - they just murdered a political dissenter.
