Many people are saying that a joke he told, with the punchline “because it makes your dick look really big”, was what got him the axe. ---

Because when you think “working class” you think of a smarmy twerp in a bow-tie named “Tucker”. ---

To be marginally less gross you could replace the object of the blurred text with Donald Trump. ---

Lots of places in the pit I could put this, (Elon Musk thread? defense of Russia thread?) but I think I’ll bump this thread instead. It seems that even if Fox isn’t paying his salary, he’s still getting his regular checks from Putin. His weekly twitter show started off with unadulterated Russia propaganda blaming Ukraine for the destruction of the dam, along a heaping dose good old fashioned antisemitism directed at Zelensky. While he was at it he hit some old fav conspiracy hits, including 9/11 and aliens. Also, who organized the black lives riots? The government knows but its classified. He doesn’t list the prime suspects I’d guess they rhyme with “forge morose and the pews”. > **[Tucker Carlson calls Ukraine’s Jewish leader ‘rat-like’ in new Twitter show](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tucker-carlson-twitter-video-ukraine-dam-b2352930.html)** > > The far-right former Fox News host also questioned the official story about 9/11 and claimed that the US media are covering up evidence of alien life ---

““That’s what the former Intel officer revealed, and it was clear he was telling the truth,” Mr Carlson said. “In other words, UFOs are actually real, and apparently so is extraterrestrial life.” Yep, aliens, and not the lock-them-up-at-the-border kind. ---

The whole Ancient Aliens thing is rooted in white supremacy. Clearly these ignorant brown people can’t make these amazing monuments, aliens did. Note the lack of diversity among the “theorists” on those shows. No shocker that Tucker is on that bandwagon.
