    >The disgraced former Fox News host giggled and nodded along as Roseanne Barr screamed about liberals being baby-eating vampires—and insisted she wasn’t “crazy.”

    I watched 60 seconds of the video and she was NOT being jokey. Absolutely horrifying, sick, crazy, delusional…

  2. Oh dear she’s displaying the say repetitive speech patterns as trump. Maybe they can be dementia medication buddies

    He’s promoting Violence against liberals . This is how you get the masses to support atrocities. Liberals need to take this seriously. Tucker wants you dead and will encourage violence against you and your family members.

  4. It’s hard to believe people are seriously pushing these kinds of conspiracy theories, and even harder to watch someone like Tucker Carlson just nodding along like it’s normal conversation. Feels like they’re trying to outdo each other with how ridiculous they can get.

    Did he die and finally go to the deepest depths of hell where he belongs? That’s the only way I can see him going much lower tbh.

  6. I truly truly truly do not understand someone like Tucker, or even Rosanne Barr for that reason. So much of the current alt right bullshit is based in early aughts internet trolldom, so I get that hey-I’m-just-shitposting-for-laughs angle of some of these people. But when it goes beyond an internet chat room and you’re literally on a stage in front of people acting that way, and you’re playing it straight because if you break, you lose money… at what point does someone like Tucker say, you know the money really isn’t worth it, right? Like I can’t imagine he’s making more than when he was just a garden variety pundit on cable news. Right?! Ugh…

  7. Hi from down under. MAGA and its most vocal supporters aren’t even recognisable as a train wreck anymore. Listen to her rant unintelligibly and listen to the MAGA crowd cheer. This is a mass psychogenic disorder, and it’s quite disturbing why it seems to be prevalent in the US and not elsewhere.

  8. Roseanne watched RFK Jr. confess to abandoning a bear carcass and thought “I’ll have what *he’s* having!”

  9. This dude really has mommy issues

    (his actual mom that left him, not his step-mom that is part of the Swanson family)

  10. Ok no problem. Let’s be specific. Which Hollywood celebrity is a baby eating vampire?

    Let’s investigate this immediately and prosecute.

    Just like the enormous scale of election fraud, if this is such common knowledge that the likes of Roseanne Barr is well informed on the topic then investigators will break this thing wide open in no time.

    Unless… none of it’s real and Tucker is just platforming hateful paranoia that helps justify various forms of violence and criminality?

    But he wouldn’t do that, would he?

    Rosanne Barr is clearly mentally ill and these right wingers are exploiting it. It’s sad, I almost feel bad for her…almost.

    Fucker Carlson is a worthless piece of shit who we know has zero integrity after it was revealed in the Dominion Systems lawsuit that while shilling for Trump on Fox he in private couldn’t stand Trump.

  13. >”By the time we go in to vote for Trump, that he will open up everybody’s eyes and they will stop pretending to be asleep,” she continued. “You know what they say. You can’t wake people up that are pretending to be asleep. But I pray to God, please wake up.

    So wait… Now they **want** us to be woke?

  14. The only way Republicans can justify being such utterly evil monsters to us liberals is if they believe that we are evil monsters who deserve to be treated as such. If they realized that we are all just human beings, deserving of equal love and respect, they would also have to realize that they, in their current state of rhetoric and behavior, are the evil in the world.

  15. Roseanne is saying people are sleeping and Trump will wake everyone up.  When this happens, will we refer to them as “woke’? 

  16. If someone says “everyone thinks I’m crazy but I’m not crazy,” I’m going to assume they’re crazy. 

  17. Roseanne Barr is clearly batshit crazy. What an embarrassment for a woman who once cosplayed as a blue collar American.

  18. Bizarro world, but here we are… it’s pretty damn clear that Tucker, Roseanne Barr and all these other lunatics just simply hate the citizens of the United States.

    It sounds so crazy because they’ve been claiming and campaigning on this for decades now, but it’s clear now that they just hate this country and everything jt stands for.

    When trump loses and they ultimately defect for counties with dictators I for one hope they are rejected when they plead for reentry.

  19. Its what’s expected from a loud racist bitch. A huge heart attack would be well deserved for both of them.

  20. It’s a tale as old as the reheated meatloaf: the son of the TV dinner queen, who grew up in a mansion insulated by instant mashed potatoes and microwavable casseroles, now wants to be the voice of the common man. But unlike the waxy peas in his mother’s empire of convenience meals, his stories don’t quite sit right.

    Meet our protagonist: a trust-fund baby who, having never faced so much as a lukewarm struggle, has reinvented himself as the crusader of the downtrodden. He’s the kind of guy who wears flannel to give himself a rugged veneer, while his hands remain suspiciously soft—no calluses from manual labor, no scars from a life lived close to the edge. His heroic struggle? Learning to balance on his family’s private yacht while telling tales of the salt of the earth.

    Our guy likes to spin narratives of hardship—except they’re not his own. His attempt to understand the poor is the journalistic equivalent of throwing a frozen dinner into the microwave and claiming to have slaved over a hot stove. He’s never known hunger beyond waiting the extra 30 seconds for the microwave to ding. Yet here he stands, trying to convince the masses that he knows what it’s like to scrape by on minimum wage.

    But it doesn’t stop there. This man-baby, having decided that writing tired clichés wasn’t enough to cement his “working-man hero” status, has found another pastime: weaving thinly veiled white supremacist rhetoric into his stories, all under the guise of “just telling it like it is.” It’s the same strategy as his mother’s famous TV dinners—take something no one asked for, wrap it in a comforting cover, and sell it as what America needs. Only this time, it’s hatred disguised as home-cooked wisdom.

    He cries “freedom of speech” while his warped words invite division, always careful to toe the line—staying just palatable enough for mainstream consumption. It’s an interesting move for someone who’s never known the kind of real-world consequences that stem from inequality. He claims to be a warrior for truth, but his arsenal is stocked with half-baked lies—enough to get him the attention he craves, but empty enough to prevent any actual change.

    Of course, the hypocrisy doesn’t end there. This aspiring champion of the people is always quick to criticize government aid programs, all while never questioning the massive tax breaks and trust-fund loopholes that have cushioned his every fall. It’s the rich man’s pastime: disdain for the safety nets they themselves have never needed. It’s easy to tell people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps when you’ve been carried on a silver platter since birth.

    For someone who has never had to earn his keep, he sure loves to brand himself as the gritty voice of truth. But the truth is this: you can’t package empathy into a TV dinner box, slap on a folksy label, and sell it as genuine understanding. You can’t pretend to champion the people you’ve never bothered to understand, nor can you pretend to be tough when the only hardship you’ve known is when the microwave broke down.

    Our man-baby protagonist may yearn for the credibility of a real working-class hero, but no amount of embellished anecdotes or whitewashed bigotry can make up for a life untouched by the struggles he exploits for attention. He may believe he’s cooking up a recipe for influence, but in the end, all he’s serving is empty calories. And anyone with a taste for the truth can see through the hypocrisy, one lukewarm TV dinner at a time.

  21. Roseanne sounds like she needs to be put in an institution.

    Also, why do these people talk about Trump like we haven’t already seen what he would be like as President? No one’s going up suddenly open their eyes. People are not suddenly going to make Jesus their lord and savior. His 4 year term came and went with no miracles, only grift and stupidity. Nothing has changed with the man.

  22. His Russian grocery store tour was lower than this. The fact that everyone just brushed it aside and still listens to him is sad.
