Tucker Carlson vs. the Evidence of Russians Voting with their Feet
Carlson praises Russia's supposed abundance and high living standards. Hundreds of thousands of Russians fleeing Putin's regime think otherwise.

During his visit to Russia to interview Vladimir Putin, right-wing former Fox News talk show host Tucker Carlson made waves by praising the supposed abundance and low prices at a Moscow supermarket. He said the experience "radicalized" him against US leaders, and that Moscow is "so much nicer than any US city."

How can we tell if Carlson is right about life in Russia being better than in the US? Try the evidence of people voting with their feet. When people choose what government they want to live under through foot voting, they have much stronger incentives to make good decisions than ballot box voters—or media pundits.

Since 2022, over 1 million Russians have fled Vladimir Putin's increasingly repressive regime. They are willing to go to even such relatively poor countries as Armenia and Kazakhstan. Many thousands have tried to move to the US by way of the Mexican border, despite the very real risk of detention and deportation. Many more would emigrate to the US and other Western nations if only we would let them (as we should!).

Yet this clown is the voice of today's "conservatives". Sad.

Here is an example of morally corrupt the Republicans are, the people who vote.

Shortly after it was revealed in late 2016 that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump, an Economist/YouGov poll showed a sharp increase in favorable GOP views of Putin. Suddenly, 37 percent had a favorable view, and 47 percent had an unfavorable one. Just 14 percent had a “very” unfavorable view of him.

Yet these same ignorant assholes claimed after the 2020 election that it was stolen from Trump. If he could not win in 2016 without Putin's help, how did they expect him to win in 2020? Low intelligence, low information and MAGA KoolAid.

If corporations can be people, cats can be people. My cats have a measurable income in goods and services. The Crazy Cat People would no doubt make a formidable lobby.

My guess is that taxation of cats is a step in a plan to get them the vote. No taxation without representation, right?

My cat may be a communist.

All she says is "Mao. Mao".

Her nickname is Mau Mau.

Maybe a Communist from Kenya.

I don't like cats and they know. I have this fear that they mess up the air; that I am breathing in small particles of fur.

It's possible.

She can do the Schrodinger's Cat thing; walk through walls.

We're on topic, because this is the 'fake news' thread.

My cat may be a socialist. She insists I share what I eat with her.

'We Made A Mistake': Laura Ingraham Apologizes For Fani Willis Graphic Flub
https://news.yahoo.com/made-mistake-...060223560.html

Fox News’ Laura Ingraham issued an on-air apology Friday after the network bungled a graphic that was supposed to feature Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis across from Nathan Wade, a prosecutor who resigned from the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.

The host had appeared on screen next to a graphic that showed a picture of Willis in one half of a broken heart, while a photo of attorney Terrence Bradley, Wade’s former law partner and divorce attorney, was shown in the other half of the heart. Judge Scott McAfee’s picture appeared in the middle of the graphic.

...because they all look alike to you, right Laura? :rolleyes

ET TU, FOX?
“To fact check there, it is no longer an alleged crime that he’ll be serving this four-month sentence for. He has obviously been convicted,” anchor Sandra Smith said on Tuesday.
