Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

During the rally Carlson, who has three adult daughters, compared the US under Trump to a naughty girl being disciplined by her father. “If you allow your hormone-addled 15-year-old daughter to slam the door and give you the finger, you’re going to get more if it,” Carlson said. “There has to be a point at which Dad comes home.” At this point the crowd erupted into raucous cheers.

“Dad comes home and he’s pissed,” Carlson continues. “He’s not vengeful, he loves his children. Disobedient as they may be, he loves them … And when Dad gets home, you know what he says? You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now. And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you. No, it’s not. I’m not going to lie. It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned this. You’re getting a vigorous spanking because you’ve been a bad girl, and it has to be this way.”

I mean... What. In. The. Fuck. Carlson just gave himself an erection in front of a crowd.

The word “weird” gets overused a lot but this is weird as fuck. Pretty creepy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Also weird that it’s normal to both Tucker and his audience.

[–] [email protected] 116 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If this comment was made in a workplace I'd reach out to HR and make sure they were canned - this would absolutely qualify as creating a hostile workplace and the targeted employee might even be able to pursue the offender independently in court.

Public statements have a different threshold and public figures have less protections from this kind of speech and sexualization but... this shit being acceptable to conservative voters is just more reinforcement of how divorced from common sense and reality they fucking are.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep, if someone is into spanking. More power to them. But sexually harassing others by projecting your sexual fetishes on to them. That's not acceptable.

If Tucker really wants to be cuckolded that way. He has the money to pay for it and better venues with willing partners to find it in. That isn't American public politics.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

He doesn't sound like he wants to be a cuckold, he wants to spank his daughter in a sexual way. This is just like Trump broadcasting how he wants to have sex with Ivanka more than anything. If their daughters could be talked into it, both of these sick fucks would be down with fucking their kids.

Call HR? I'd sue the company. No way they don't know this guy is weird as fuck. They just don't care. Let's see if a jury cares.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 3 weeks ago

Once again, a "conservative" obsessed with controlling women. This party needs to be voted out of relevance...

[–] [email protected] 56 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

This is a level of sexism and, frankly, creepy shit that should just not be tolerated at all. What kind of consequences could actually discourage this kind of behavior, I wonder?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

smacking his ass and making him call you daddy apparently

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Civilized places outlaw corporeal punishments of children. So jail should be the thing disuading crazies from engaging in it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

It’s fucking wild how deeply so many people believe you not only should be allowed to physically assault children as a disciplinary measure, but that NOT beating kids is the problem in the world

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I could think of one that would take care of Tucker once and for all...

What the in the actual fuck. I can't wait for Harris to win so this guy can leave for Russia like he promised.

Fuck off, Tuckyboy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

He's dreaming of that Russian utopia, where you can just go to the store, and buy bread. Smell that bread! Wow.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Not really Trump's type. He prefers 13 year olds.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I think we need to send someone to check on Tuckys daughters.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

What, you don't "vigorously spank" your 15-year-old daughter while calling her "a bad little girl"? Typical snowflake libtard.

It felt gross even writing that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

And like the subheading on Wonkette's article - they should check his Internet history...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I mean, their dear leader has publicly outright said that he’d have sex with his daughter. It’s unfortunately becoming normal for them to say the quiet parts out loud. And I’d wager that these are the “tame” quiet parts. Wait until they feel fully unencumbered to speak their true mind. Now that freaks me out just thinking about it.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 3 weeks ago

what freaks one person is entertainment for another, and when these idiots (turnup and biden 2) are involved it doesn't stop being funny until rights are removed and people are bombed.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Tucker is on record that he wants a government that loves him like a parent and takes care of him

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

and smacks his butt

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

And that his idea of parental love involves hitting but not feeding apparently

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson warmed up the crowd at Donald Trump’s rally here Wednesday night with a dark metaphor, bashing Vice President Kamala Harris and declaring that “dad” was coming home to mete out discipline.

Chat messages (evidence in a trial with Dominion) between Fucker Carlson and other Fox News personalities revealed that he hated the orange bad and wanted him gone. Conservatives are hypocrites all the way down.

Jesus. This is so fucking weird.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Quote this post in 2028 when he's the GOP nominee for president.

😔

WTAF is wrong with these people?

Like, dude, all cool if this is the fetish that you beat off to every night—not that I really need to know this.

But, if not, holy shit, seek help…

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like he has spent a lot of time around Gaetz lately. Fucking creepy weirdos.

What in the world, Tucker ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I thought Wonkette had the better title....

"Tucker Carlson Tells Rally 'Daddy' Trump Will Spank America For Being 'Bad Little Girl'"

https://www.wonkette.com/p/tucker-carlson-tells-rally-daddy

These people are deeply fucked up and weird. Tucker is a total freak show.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

At least the last time I read something that made me feel this nauseous it was fiction.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Fucking what, dude?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

By the way, in his fucked-up world, all of normal America are the ones that need the spanking, not just Harris. He somehow thinks it is normal America that is out of line, not his jackass fanbois that were doing things like domestic terrorism on J6.
