ended up dead in Nazi concentration camps

Anybody familiar with young children will recognize this use of passive voice as the phase where the child admits that something bad happened, but is not comfortable assigning responsibility yet. "The lamp got broken".

Has Tucker had plastic surgery? I'm just asking questions.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I'm sorry, but he just looks like Charlie Chaplin.

It's a shame Hitler ruined the mustache, because that's the only part of mine that grows in full.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Such a rascal of a tramp

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hitler actually stole that look from him. He was a huge fan of Chaplin's movies back in the day. And that is why no one can dress like Charlie Chaplin for Halloween anymore 😔

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hes a trust fund kid. Probably the first supermarket he's ever been inside.

Breaking: Nazi continues to nazi after years of naziing

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

THIS is EXACTLY why Republicans are the ONLY PARTY for Jews! You're not a REAL JEW unless you vote for the Pro Nazi Party!

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

I mean that is pretty much the sentiment I've been getting from the Pro-Israel crowd

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.

He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letters, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.

That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?

This is less than mild shock

[–] Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He's been doing that ever since his media career started in the 90s.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Well, I am shocked! Absolutely stunned. No, no. Wait. I meant unsurprised and jaded.

[–] slickgoat@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Why does Tucker Carlson look like he just realised he sharted.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He looks like he's constantly bewildered. He uses it so that he can give the appearance that what's going on is insane and that he's the last normal man standing...

And for the most part it just makes him look clueless...

I actually was worried he was an adult with disabilities being exploited by Fox when I first actually watched his show. The fact that he laughed at the idea that tacos are Mexican an origin when it's "obviously an American food from California!" Did not help

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

The worst part is that he isn't that stupid. He's just genuinely that evil.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

That’s his concerned look. It probably works on his fans.

Tucker hanging out with nazis? Why, I find that hard to believe. /s

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

He's just asking questions.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

"Accused"?

I'd be surprised if this absolute failure of a human being wasn't spreading Nazi propaganda.

[–] LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The dude is doing a live tour right now, or is about to be, and one of his shows is gonna have Alex Jones as a guest. This is not surprising and if anything, is super expected.

Well if the jack boot fits…

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Don't forget: this weirdo wants his green chocolate candy to be gendered and fuckable.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Can Fucker's tan guy tell tRump's tan guy that it can in fact go up to the eyes.

Then at least he'll have done something positive in this life via association.

[–] hannesh93@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

Was that the video Musk spread on his Twitter account? I knew it was bad because of Tucker in general - but this?

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Oh somebody finally got around to saying it out loud huh.

I hate his fucking stupid face so much

[–] VerbFlow@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Are these the same people who claim opposing Israel is "antisemitism"?

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure this is a fact, not an accusation.
