    He points out that it's not OK to rip down said statues like a mob when the rest of us are forced to obey laws. I'm not allowed to go rip down stuff in my town with friends. I'd be arrested. You want to take down statues? Go to City Hall. Get signatures. Don't riot. Also ... any society that is talking about blowing up or destroying Mt. Rushmore because some of the people on it had serious flaws, is an Animal Farm society that is doomed. You don't blow up monuments. You TEACH about them in school and discuss the flaws of the people on there as well as what they did that was GREAT for America. You think anybody is perfect?? No they are not. So it's good we have a Tucker Carlson and Hannity and Ingraham to point out the madness. Not everybody believes in mob mentality you know.

    Tucker Carlson has no basis in science.

    The guy is now a danger to people. He's got more than 4 million uncurious--bordering on brain dead--viewers, who are going to listen to him and do things as a result, which facilitate the spread of the disease and associated deaths.

    Do you think he wears a mask when he is out? It would be the difference between him being a consciousless fuck or a moron.

    I don't know if Tucker Carlson is a racist. I don't know if he is a moron. He sure seems to think his viewers are both.

    so, if someone wants to take down a statue, the only way is to get the OK from the suits?

    The people involved in the Boston Tea Party weren't obeying laws, either. Should they have limited their protests to gentle petitions of the British?

    How did someone like Carlson get where he is and someone like me is looking at spending my remaining years working minimum wage jobs and possibly being homeless?

    Maybe he can type better on a phone than I can, but that's about it.

    Carlson is a rich kid from La Jolla who went to fancy-pants boarding schools like his overseers.

    He hates the establishment because he was denied a job with the CIA right out of college.

    Nixon hated everybody because he went to Whittier instead of Yale.
    Tucker went to all the good schools and still hates anyone he deems beneath him.

    His life story screams privilege, entitlement and fragility.
