Maybe. Tucker sure appears to have a power and profile drive. YouTube/X celeb isn’t the medium for most of his audience. Since his fall from Fox his national profile sure seems diminished, and often comically absurd and unserious.

Same could be said for O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly, and Beck to some extent. When they were on Fox regularly and had their own shows they were national celebrities and influential within the GOP. After they left/were fired they all quickly dropped from sight and have never regained their listening audience, celebrity prominence, or influence within the GOP. They still have podcasts or satellite radio or whatever, but with far smaller audiences and profiles than they enjoyed on Fox. And in all four of their cases - Tucker, Beck, O'Reilly, and Kelly - their falls from grace were all richly deserved, imo.

Tucker's mother was the heiress of the Swanson company. He was born with more money than he could spend in 10 lifetimes.

It has never been about the money for him.

Oh.

I expect little Tucker has wanted to prove his worth for decades.

Also, Tucker’s Mom wasn’t a Swanson heiress…..his 2nd or 3rd or 4th stepmom was the Swanson heiress.

I got to give the guy credit. "Penis homes" adds some much needed creativity into the "Christian misogyny" discourse.

Reminds me of Melvin Udall from As Good As It Gets. Great character, whose most memorable moments come when being an absolute asshole.

This is really where Trump can be labeled a genius. He saw the effect the McMahon's had with WWE and he ingrained it into politics and mainstream media. It will likely lead to the downfall of our democracy, but our country deserves everything coming our way.

Trump has turned our politics into a WWE, reality-style television show. Lots of melodrama, bluster, blowhard bragging and threats to his enemies, and it's all played to the lowest, most dumbed-down common denominator, just like most reality shows. Basically, we've reached the Roman stage of bread and circuses for the masses. And it will likely work until we face a national disaster like an economic depression or global confrontation like the Cuban Missile Crisis, in which case it will fall apart disastrously because the idiots running the government won't be able to deal with it. We've already had a bitter taste of that future in Trump's first term with his response to the pandemic. But the people loving this political reality show are going to have to learn that the hard way, so here we are.
 


There but for the grace of God go all us parents, I guess, but pretty extreme behavior for the son of a U.S. Senator. He reached beyond a point that Dad could protect him from the consequences.

Hmmmm...Looks as if he got the rich white boy deal. 28 years ... wellll, not really.
The judge added: “These are not mandatory minimums, which means that you’re probably going to serve a small portion of that 28 years and be out on parole, so that’ll ..."
