They are trying to start a war in the US. We have heard Tucker like many news people are seeeyeaaa assets. The seeeyeaaa is playing both sides in order to segregate us into hating each other, to cause conflict, to cause war. This series of videos could cause a lot of problems for those who play the games they do, but it is for a reason. You can bet your tail they have a reason for this being put forth. And it is not for the goood.

True, or not - anything, ANYTHING, that threatens to pierce the Offish-al 'Narr-a-tive' is "a threat to muh Democracy!!"


i.e., might just wake the peeps up.
But it has to reach the peeps who are asleep before it can wake them- and I don't think many of the mass o' sleepers are gonna have the first clue about anything Tucker says- except perhaps second hand, via their own preferred mouth pieces' twisted accounting of it.

But theatre is always fun excuse for :popcorn1:

McConnell Rebukes Tucker's J6 Footage Release​

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday rebuked Daily Caller co-founder and Fox News Host Tucker Carlson’s release of footage from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Carlson received more than 40,000 hours of riot footage from Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and began releasing it Monday night.

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger slammed Carlson for releasing the footage and for allegedly spreading “offensive and misleading conclusions” about the riot. Manger also accused Carlson of making a “disturbing accusation” that officer Brian Sicknick’s death was not due to the riot. A medical examiner ruled that Sicknick died from natural causes after suffering two strokes following the riots.

McConnell held up an internal letter from Manger which claimed that the footage was “conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video.”

“With regard to the presentation on Fox News last night, I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of Capitol Police about what happened on January 6,” McConnell said. “My concern is how it was depicted, which is a different issue. It was a mistake, in my view, for Fox News to depict this in a way that’s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks.” (RELATED: Newly Released Footage Shows Unedited Version Of Hawley Leaving Capitol)

McConnell refused to criticize McCarthy for handing over the footage.

Yes, I'm talking about the US. I've not heard of many, or any. I can think of several from other countries.
Most recent was an attempted murder of a local journalist in Nevada by a city council member he'd been investigating. There was a murder in Oakland CA of a local journalist looking into local corruption in the 1990s and at least one "suicide" of a writer/journalist looking into the Clintons and one looking at the JFK assassination.

Tucker made a couple of interesting points in this monologue. One, all the hysteria and calls for censorship from Dems and Repubs like McConnell and Romney show that "we are getting close to what they really care about." Tucker wonders what they are trying to protect and promises to try to find out. Second, "they," prominent members of both parties, are "on the same side." This is not news to anyone here, we've discussed the uniparty for a long time, but it is interesting to hear it on Tucker's widely viewed program.

Fox News’s Tucker Carlson soared past The Five to land atop the cable news ratings on Monday night.
The Five, which often lands at number 1, raked in 3.0 million total viewers, while Carlson — who aired a highly controversial segment on Jan. 6th — brought in 3.7 million total viewers. Carlson also won in the key 25-54 age demographic with a whopping 565,000 viewers — more than CNN’s total day average. Sean Hannity came in third with 2.68 million total viewers.

“These lies continue tonight, Rupert Murdoch, who has admitted they were lies and said he regretted it, has a special obligation to stop Tucker Carlson from going on tonight, now that he’s seen how he has perverted and slimed the truth, and from letting him go on again and again and again,” Schumer said.
"Special Obligation"??? Is this a DS threat?

They are so terrified (angry is more accurate), they won’t even bother to make it look like a suicide.
Besides, it may be time to demonstrate to those who may resist them that they no longer care about “hiding“ their treachery. Resisting them will now be labeled full-on “terrorism.” They may declare their own Rule 308 for MAGA enemies.

The phrase you’re looking for is pour encourager les autres.

Chucky is only saying what everyone in DC is thinking.

Being the cynic that I am, I also figure McCarthy only did this to disgrace the Dem's and get votes in the next election. Because like ya know dude, what will become of this? Impeaching Senators? Impeaching Representatives? I know a couple who already left or got beat in the last election, and aren't there any more.

So lot's of theater. We're already been getting the circus, have you gotten your bread yet?

Until the J6 prisoners are released with reparations, and those who actually committed the crimes (Epps, Cheney, etc.) imprisoned, this is just that - circus.

When chuckie is squealing like a pig in a slaughterhouse, you KNOW he is sweating bullets about what is going to come out. The problem is?

What will it all accomplish. Hell, those videos are more than a smoking gun, they are the smoking main battery of the USS New Jersey after a fire mission. At the very least there needs to be a swap out in the jail cells, freedom for those who have been held without bond since the demonstrations and their places taken by a "schumer" load of politicians and public officials with a special place for Fauci and a couple of others.

Fauci has a very special place reserved for him when his master comes for him.
And so does Smucky.
