    I've often wondered that same thing. It's scary to think how he could aid any enemy against the US if the price was right, and there is no real allegiance to our country. In a way, we are simply business transactions to him.

    Show of hands. How many here would donate to a GoFundMe to buy Tucker a lovely beach house in Crimea?

    While Carlson is busy showcasing how great Russia is to an audience of like-minded peers...

    US disrupts Russian hacking campaign that infiltrated home, small business routers: DOJ - ABC News (go.com)

    The Justice Department said the GRU used the infiltrated routers in the commission of a range of crimes that included "vast spearphishing" campaigns aimed at "targets of intelligence interest to the Russian government, such as U.S. and foreign governments and military, security, and corporate organizations."

    At this point it's worth considering that a significant portion of the GOP machine in the US is severely compromised.



    and

    Putin complains about lack of piercing questions from Tucker Carlson | Reuters

    This was Fox News primary talent for years and millions of conservatives would listen to him every night.

    I will never understand why he went back to Russia, after Putin had already tried to murder him.

    Putin is a ruthless killer.

    MAGA folks who idolize him are terribly misguided.

    He stands for something that is more than himself. That's why he's labeled a hero—courageous and self-sacrificing. RIP.

    I cant say I am shocked, at least he didn't "fall" out of a window as most do.................and this is who trump and Carlson idolize? The man is a stone-cold killer and why anyone would get duped into his rhetoric hasn't been paying attention for the last hundred years.

    By all account Navalny seemed like a genuine guy who wanted better for Russia........................I wish he had never gone back to Russia but let's be honest, Putin would have gotten to him anywhere

    It's hilarious that these guys keep accidentally repeating fascist propaganda. "He made the trains run on time" https://history.howstuffworks.com/h...solini-really-keep-trains-running-on-time.htm

    I guess Tucker has never been in Grand Central Station with the poors. How about instead of cherry picking a subway station, pick a random grocery store in Moscow and compare it to one in NY city.

    I just did a quick google and picked the first two grocery stores that came up in Moscow and NYC. The one in Moscow looked pretty western and is comparable to a NYC store. The funny thing is that Tucker did go to grocery store and used it as propaganda to b**** about inflation.

    Even the National Review thinks Carlson is a joke.

    I cant say I am shocked at anything Carlson does or says. I do not think this will age well, for someone who supposedly said he hated trump he sure goes out of his way to do his bidding..................I wonder if Tuck hand delivered a love note to putin from his boss

    I`m sorry, but you have to be an idiot to move to Russia and think everything will be A OK, and oh the horror that they saw some gay folks in Russia and don't like the LGBTQ folks. Now their bank account is frozen.....................next thing you know they will be invited to the top floor of a high rise and "accidently" fall out.........................on a side note, I would join the go fund me to send T Carlson there.

    And yet between his inherited fortune and the money he made from FAUX "News", there is no dacha we could buy for him that he would accept.
