White supremacist Tucker Carlson, who has done more than any other American alive except Donald Trump to pimp Putin, will never be anything other than a diabolically persuasive liar, shameless media attention whore and traitor to America.

There is no media host in America more slanderous, sniveling, smug, self-righteous--and protected from real-life interaction with critics--than Tucker Carlson. Little Tuckums HATES when people share this rare glimpse of a real patriot in Montana shattering his precious bubble of privilege...

yup.

thehandbasket.coRepublicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problemA spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.

📌NOTE: White men are singularly responsible for the catastrophic mess we find ourselves in today. I just can’t believe what a bunch of selfish babies we are, I really can’t. We take absolutely no ownership of anything, because everything is everybody’s else’s fault. I’m sick of us.

Vladimir Putin is the one leader who has access to the most money with the least amount of monitoring, regulation, or tracking. Any time you hear someone ask why Trump praises Putin more than anyone else in the world, refer them to the paragraph above.

An ideology like MAGA can only sustain itself with some "enemy" to hate. These movements get more and more violent so over time they get into a "shortage" of enemies to be cruel to. They declare more and more people as enemy. You now fear Canadian dentists? Americans, soon they'll go after YOU!

There was a rabid MAGA guy giving everybody shit, especially William H Macy. Fortunately, he wasn't phased and graciously told us why he thinks it's important to use his voice/platform to speak out for voting and against the current administration.

Israel is just 2 days away from a critical election, and thousands of protesters are filling the streets of Tel Aviv demanding Netanyahu’s removal! They’re demanding accountability for October 7 security failures and an independent commission of inquiry.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...
