Tucker Carlson Goes "Nuclear" On Trump
I wont try to characterize it in detail but it is HARSH.

Tucker Carlson did a 40 minute monologue at the start of his You Tube show yesterday,  it was virtually nothing but an attack on Trump following Trump's Easter Sunday threat toward and taunting of Iran and Muslims. 

I wont try to characterize it in detail but it is HARSH.  He also attacks Trumps tv evangelist "spiritual adviser" grifter and fraud Paula White, and Pete Hegseth's comparing the downed and rescued pilot to the Easter Sunday resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We are in uncharted territory.

I don't have any use for him, either because his religion is stuck so far up his ass he chokes on it. Besides, I really won't waste 2 hours of my life listening to him bang on trmp when he had his chance but decided to lick boots instead

I mean , you have good points. And if Trump ran again I'm sure Carlson would find a way to rationalize supporting him. But this is a big break in MAGA.  Carlson has millions of far right fans from his time on Fox News.

Recently Rogan has become more critical of Trump--- especially since Trump started the current war:

Joe Rogan claims Trump started the war in Iran to distract Americans from the Epstein files

Joe Rogan has become increasingly critical of President Donald Trump since the start of the Iran war

It was obvious 10 years ago that he was unfit (he was a known pathological liar, a crook, an ignoramus, and psychologically unbalanced) and even if we give grace to people who voted for him back then there is no excuse for supporting him now.

Victory in Europe Day was May 8, 1945 when Germany surrendered unconditionally ending the war in Europe.

The first nuke dropped over Hiroshima was on August 6, 1945.

Nagasaki was nuked on August 9, 1945 

The Empire of Japan surrendered unconditionally on August 15, 1945.

The lunatic you support and defend has wasted blood, money, and USA political capital (and our dwindling reputation) to transform the Strait of Hormuz from an open waterway into a spigot controlled by Iran:

The Strait of Hormuz has not opened to ship traffic after the U.S. and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, said the CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) on Thursday.

“This moment requires clarity,” said Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber in a social media post . “So let’s be clear: the Strait of Hormuz is not open. Access is being restricted, conditioned and controlled.”

We assaulted Germany from the air along with our allies truly obliterating most of the nation, but they fought on for 4 more years until boots on the ground from both the east and west stopped Hitlers nonsense.

We were in Afghanistan for 18 years and Trump orchestrated the exit because air power alone can't / won't change a culture/religion/ barter society.

We were in Somalia for over 30 years and exited because air power alone can't / won't change a culture/religion/ barter society.

We could go on...

We are witness to the largest country in the world, who with limitless assets and air power has not been able to dominate the pesky nation of Ukraine for over 12 years.

And with all of that history and even his own constant blaming of Obama, Biden and others; Trump and Kegsbreath decide after committing war crimes in Venezuela 

that they can bring down Iran in a matter of days or weeks.

Tucker, much like MTG, has the ability to parse information to judge which way the political winds are blowing. No matter how reprehensible their characters may be, they are helping steer the ship and on occasional all winds blow in the same direction. 

So I would not say that he has "balls" so to speak. He just is just holding his finger into the wind and following where he thinks the winds of the country are blowing. Can Tucker bring people to break with Trump/MAGA? Dunno. He might complete the thoughts in some of their heads that may be trying to break through, but right now the faithful on the Trump Team are still faithful, just like in Iran. We haven't had the winds of change (to complete the metaphor) blow strongly enough to dislodge the people in power in either country.

One can only hope (assuming Trump actually carries out his threat ... which hopefully is still doubtful).

Trouble is, it only takes one general to agree to this, and Hegseth can clear the road for that general to be in charge.   So then it becomes the burden of his direct reports, on down, to NOT engage in Trump's threatened insanity.

I expect Trump to back down in some way, but I do not see how he gets out of the corner he has painted himself into.   That is worrisome ... cornered animal + unhinged.

Objectively I see gray and possible ways around it that I am sure Trumps legal team is looking at.

Subjectively it is a war crime as is saying mean things about Iran.

How about Iran putting civilians at those places.  No one seems to care about their war crimes.

Bombing sites with the intended purpose of harming civilians is a war crime.

(b) Other serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in international
armed conflict, within the established framework of international law, namely,
any of the following acts:
(i) Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such
or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities; 

Trump has threatened to return them to the Stone Age.   Do you recognize that this is intentional harm to civilians??

Do some research!

Threat is not a war crime. Action would be if it can be proven whatever is bombed has no military value.

Trump is threatening a war crime.   That is the point I made.   If he acts on the threat it will be a war crime.

You continue to deflect with faux obtuseness.

A guest on MS Now this afternoon , Ret. Major General Randy Manner, says he has military contacts and CentCom is resisting Trumps threats.  They will ignore an order to bomb civilian infrastructure.

We have to take a step back and recognize how dangerously desensitized we have become to Trump. The President of the United States is casually threatening the death of an entire civilization on social media between promoting vanity projects. This is not 'tough talk' or 'the art of the deal.' This is the rhetoric of a madman. The world is watching us. Our allies are horrified, and our enemies are emboldened by our chaos. Officials in this administration, from the Cabinet, to the Pentagon, to our military commanders, who go along with this unconstitutional rush to mass slaughter must be held accountable. Following illegal orders does not protect you from the rule of the law.
-
This President has proven himself fundamentally unfit to hold the nuclear codes or the lives of our service members in his hands. It is time for Congress to find its backbone, return to session, assert its Constitutional authority, and stop this madness with impeachment proceedings or any other legal means at our disposal.

In a brief phone call, Pres. Trump told me he couldn't provide any update on the status of talks with the Iranians, but he sharply criticized Iran's call for people to line up as human shields around power plants. "Totally illegal," he said. "They're not allowed to do that."

The President’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” cannot be excused away as an attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with Iran. This type of rhetoric is an affront to the ideals our nation has sought to uphold and promote around the world for nearly 250 years. It undermines our long-standing role as a global beacon of freedom and directly endangers Americans both abroad and at home. The oppressive, terror-spreading regime of the Islamic Republic must be distinguished from the people and the civilization of Iran. Everyone involved—especially the President and Iran’s leaders—must de-escalate their unprecedented saber-rattling before it is too late.

Two reasons.  First, the post was perfectly clear to anyone who bothered to read it.  What part of the word "her" do you need help with, eactly?

Second, I'm not interested in this game where you make up shit out of thin air and then demand someone refute it like you're William Stoughton or Joe McCarthy.

And unlike Trump, what she's done is represent the interests of many people in her state. For example, American Indians ("Eskimos"):

Alaska Native issues

Murkowski is an active member of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs and served as Vice Chairman of the committee during the 110th Congress. She is the Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and a member of the Committee on Appropriations, and has a continuing role on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. In 2009, she was honored with a Congressional Leadership Award by the   National Congress of American Indians . [ 63 ]   She is the first Alaskan to receive the award. [ 63 ] . . .
