    This could go in a plethora of threads but since this is the latest Tucker one...

    A lot of right wing twits including Trump talk about that war like it was a natural disaster with no acknowledgement as to how it started or who is to blame.

    These are the facts. While most of the files on the laptop including the emails from Hunter Biden as well as the photos showing him in a wasted state are genuine and there was a laptop that was left a computer repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, the chances are that the files were obtained through hacking, copied on to the hard drive of the laptop and left at the shop by someone purporting to be Hunter. Keep in mind that the proprietor of the shop said that he was unable to identify the person who dropped off the computer as Hunter Biden. I also said it numerous times before, it defies logic that Hunter Biden who was living in Los Angeles at the time would drop his laptop at a computer repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware.

    The proprietor of the shop has also said that some of the things he has seen attributed to the laptop were not from the laptop.

    You're probably right. The followers of Trump and Carlson, who are essentially one and the same, view themselves as aggrieved victims and will probably rally around the chief of spokesman for their Dear Leader. As far as cancel culture is concerned the righties are much better at it than the left. See Kathy Griffin as an example. They managed to destroy her career over a single meme that admittedly was in very poor taste.

    The other big part of that was Tucker apparently admitting there was Russian interference in 2016.

    Speaking of "White Power" Carlson, is this "White Power" Clinton by your standards right?

    Isn't that just an "ok" sign? Or am I that old in that it now means something else? *confused*

    Apparently - it is a "White Power" sign according to the frequent posters here.

    And they are probably way outnumbered. Can’t let a good opportunity to let a veiled kkk remark go to waste.

    Nothing veiled about it. Tucker Carlson is a mouthpiece for white supremacists.

    I call my cousin doctor. He has a doctorate degree in environmental engineering from UF.

    Occasionally people who don’t know him will ask me what practice he’s in. When I tell them EE they kind of poo it off like he’s not a real doctor. I think it’s the same with doctors of theology or what ever doctorate degree reverend Martin Luther King had. Yes there are racist who make negative comments toward Dr. King. I’ve also witnessed, as stated above it happens to others also.

    Some question Dr. kings legitimate claim to being a Doctor of theology which he received from Boston university. Wiki gives details of how an investigation by the university found he may have plagiarized important pares he wrote?

    “An academic inquiry in October 1991 concluded that portions of his doctoral dissertation had been plagiarized and he had acted improperly. However, "[d]espite its finding, the committee said that 'no thought should be given to the revocation of Dr. King's doctoral degree,' an action that the panel said would serve no purpose."[90][85][91] The committee found that the dissertation still "makes an intelligent contribution to scholarship." A letter is now attached to the copy of King's dissertation held in the university library, noting that numerous passages were included without the appropriate quotations and citations of sources.[92] Significant debate exists on how to interpret King's plagiarism.[93]

    Regardless, I suggest everyone read his Wiki. Dr. Kings life was extraordinary, fueled by witnessing his father fight for equality. He is the most important person to live and fight for AA rights in the US.

    President Ronald Reagan believed in him enough to sign into law (1986) recognizing Martin Luther King’s birthday as a national holiday.
