@godpod What. In the heck. Is this guy smoking?
He LITERALLY in his speech just talked about Christmas.
Tucker sure is keen to prove definitively that he's a RUSSIAN asset.
@VickiKyriakakis @godpod you assume anyone who watches tucker is actually going to watch Zelensky’s speech?
@nona80_swanette @godpod No. Just stunned at the level of dishonesty and bile and lying. I don’t have words for these people anymore.

This is why I think the most important reform we need — even above PR — is a law criminalising “deliberately or recklessly misleading the public”. I include ‘Recklessly’, because “I didn’t know…” should not be a defence for the bullshitters, if the truth is easily ascertained.
If voters are not told the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, their votes mean nothing. When politicians (and the media) get away with lying, democracy is dead.

Hard disagree. You'd think such a law would be used against Carlson, but if history has shown us anything, it would instead be weaponized against BLM leaders and the like instead.
Fascists try to use the force of government to shut down speech. Please don't give them shiny new toys because you're scared of fascism.
The best answer to bad speech is more good speech.
