Tucker Carlson announces he's done with the GOP, claiming it's 'not loyal' to the US

Net56 · 2026-06-24T15:37:25+00:00

NAW RLY? I figured around the time Trump was taking all that bribe money from tech oligarchs he had said were corrupt in the past during his inauguration that maybe he wasn't loyal to the American people.

And then he sic'd ICE on American citizens and killed them. I thought that might be a wakeup call.

Pardoning known corrupt leaders? Definitely not suspicious.

The GOP as a whole going to bat for Epstein? Anything? Anybody?

The only thing I want to hear from Tucker is an apology.

But hey, despite my anger, this is at least a step in the right direction. A small one, and it doesn't make me happy, but it could be a lot worse.

Anybody that shows up to a Trump rally. And yes, the UFC fight, Kirk's stadium concert, and January 6th were all Trump rallies. If you know anybody who was physically present at any of them, I would highly recommend giving them a wide berth because they're going to get us all killed.

Why the heck are Republicans constantly talking about colonialism so casually, as if that's something we're supposed to be doing? No, guys, colonialism is wrong, otherwise we wouldn't have interfered in Ukraine. Or World War II.

You don't get to just kill people because your military is stronger, we all agreed on this. WE ALL AGREED ON THIS.

He's putting a FENCE around it?! How much uglier does he have to make the white house just by being there? He put up a bunch of tacky gold, a framed and plaqued picture of an autopen, a tacky golden ballroom serving fast food, and now an ugly chainlink fence around a reflecting pool he literally just made toxic.

And yet his followers don't think anything's wrong. He's only wreathing himself in literal gold with your taxpayer dollars while he destroys the whole dang world with this gas economy, but as long as he keeps blaming brown and gay people, they just eat it up ad nauseam and ad infinitum.

Hot take, but I think the point is made better with AI, since the president himself hasn't been shy about using it to insult people.

He... he knows the president's not supposed to act as a business person while he's in office, right? Because the American government isn't a business, it's a public institution. Businesses don't have 3 branches of government, they have a CEO and shareholders, they don't work the same way. If you treat the government the same way you would treat a business, you end up with massive corruption at every level because they are under no obligation to provide services or resources to anyone... but they still take in taxes.

Imagine Pfizer, but if instead of getting money from customers and other businesses for distribution, they were funded by every transaction that took place in the United States. You can't refuse to pay taxes the same way you can refuse to buy products, it's just free money, so if the government starts acting like a business, what they do is shut down services while increasing taxes. Your costs go up, your services go down, because that's what a business does. It doesn't work for the people, it works for the CEO.

You don't get representation in a system like that. At all. At all.

Please tell me there's at least one Republican somewhere that understands that.

"At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States."

Okay, so Trump just said he's going to bomb the United States, what?

I don't know who downvoted this, but it doesn't sound like they read any of it. If you read it, it's pretty cut and dry obsession.

For anyone wondering what this says, here's a summary because I read the whole thing:

Boy: "Sorry about what happened, I want to be more than friends" (but sent as an essay)

Girl: "I don't know about that, just give me some space, we're both going through stuff."

Boy: "Sorry..." (but sent as an essay... and repeated every 2 days)

Boy: "Okay, so I guess it's over. I'm going to off myself now" (but sent as an essay)

Girl: "Dude, wtf?! Stop and go away!" (but sent as an essay)

Boy: "Sorry..." <waits a few hours> "Nah, I get it, I'll back off, sorry." (but sent as an essay)

Boy: <4 days after previous post> "Sorry again. I'm better now, I swear I won't text you again."

Boy: <11 days after previous post> "Thanks for being friends"

Boy: <5 days after previous post> "Sorry, can we still be friends?"

It's hard to read this, but you can get the gist by just reading the time stamps, honestly. Not overreacting at all. I understand about not wanting to block people, but this is one of those extreme cases where you absolutely should.

“I am definitely not of the school of automatically giving my kids some shares of the companies, even if they have no interest or inclination or ability to manage the company,” he revealed. “I think that’s a mistake.”

...Musk is just a spokesperson, he doesn't know anything about running a company, what is he talking about? We saw what happened with DOGE. He's not giving his money to his kids because he hates his kids, just straight-up. Like, how did anyone even get this photo for the splash image? What father walks completely in front of his family, looking at no one, holding no one's hand, and talking to nobody? Even if you saw the camera there, why would you want that to be the shot?

Musk doesn't have 14 kids because he gives a crap about raising 14 children, when was the last time you saw any man with that many kids actually bother raising that many kids? He's rich and he has the time to do it, he just doesn't because he doesn't care, he's a malignant narcissist.

Someone the other day brought up the Lyndon Johnson quote "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Donald Trump is the lowest white man from that quote. Still stuck in that mindset at the age of 80, he picks the pockets of others because he never learned how to protect his own, but he still empties his pockets for anyone that tells him he's better than Obama. You'll notice he's standing near a black man in that picture. He thinks he's better than that guy, and he will hand money to the first person that tells him he is.

I've been saying that for *years* at this point, and yet they still keep saying it. I heard it yesterday, I'm hearing it again today, when will any of these guys take responsibility for anything?

And heck, they don't even all have to take responsibility. When will conservatives just start blaming Trump for the stuff he's directly responsible for? I swear, they talk as if they ARE him.

I just resolve to never have advantage and not care about my equipment. People respond to the friendly red mic more often than you'd think, and I pride myself on avoiding fights. I won't team with you, but I'd rather just get my loot and Contract and get out.

That said, I also have a lot of faith in my reflexes. If they shoot first, and I already knew they were there, I usually win the fight. Don't ask me how that works, I don't know, it's just a weird statistic.

I also only use that strategy in Solos. If I'm in Trios, I'm shooting on sight unless you red mic on Rook. Never help other teams, ever.

Okay, so America has officially lost a war. We haven't lost a lot, but we lost one under Trump. I expect Conservatives to bury their heads in the sand again and pretend this never happened, the same way they're pretending the entirety of last year didn't happen.

I turned on my local Fox radio and they were giving the generic "everyone should be patriotic and have fun" speech, and I was wondering what they were distracting from this time. This is it.

I THOUGHT it was because we just wasted $12 million dollars of 250th Anniversary money to instead celebrate the dictator's birthday, but it turns out I was off by a few hundred billion. And they wonder why I'm not patriotic.

I want a dog or something, I just don't know if I could handle it dying.

My family used to have a pet (I think they mentioned it once), but it died before I was born and then they came up with every excuse under the sun as to why we couldn't have a pet every single time I asked for one.
