Tucker refuses to bowdlerize, dissemble or flinch from the mot juste.
‘F**k You Actually’: Tucker Apologizes For Profanity While Accurately Describing How Dystopian ‘Freedom’ Has Become pic.twitter.com/9h5MAaLsuO

That vid is brief and well worth taking the time to watch it through, but if you’re like me and just generally disinclined to watch embedded videos of this sort, here’s a transcript of Tucker’s dead-on-the-money remarks.
“Privacy is the point. With no privacy, there is no freedom. It is a pre-requisite for freedom,” Carlson agreed.
“You know where there is privacy and secrecy in great abundance?” he continued. “The federal government, which has classified over a billion documents describing what they’re doing with our money, in our name. This is our government.”
“And yet they have every right to keep key decisions from us…they just allowed the presidential candidate to get shot, and we’re not allowed to know how that happened or why,” Carlson added. “So to take a lecture from them about how I’m a criminal because I want privacy in my financial transactions or my phone calls or my text messages, really? Fuck you, actually.”
The crowd burst into a round of applause at Carlson’s statements, which ring horrifyingly true when you really think about it. “I’m sorry to use profanity, but that makes me so mad,” he added, even though he didn’t need to apologize. We’re all adults here.
“Like that’s prima facie evidence of a crime. You haven’t even declassified the Kennedy assassination files 61 years later, and you’re lecturing me about wanting to have an encrypted text conversation? How dare you! You work for me! You should be in prison,” Carlson concluded.
Ain’t THAT the fucking truth. Actually, I’ll modify that just a little: prison is the very least of their just deserts. Where they REALLY ought to be is swinging from a gibbet on a five-hole gallows—all positions likewise occupied, of course—before the front steps of the US Capitol building, providing sustenance for buzzards, crows, and other carrion-fowl for a period of no fewer than thirty (30) days. Y’know, pour encourager les autres.
How dare they indeed. There’s a meme for that:
Hey, at this point we have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying it.

RE: Just Saying –
Only if we get to vote on which one.
Evita Guevara Castro is the obvious low-hanging fruit; but I’m not convinced we wouldn’t get more mileage by picking Yertle The Turtle.
Maybe a rule specifying one from each party, just for fairness.
Hey, as you all surely know by now, I think it’s of utmost importance that we conduct this, umm, course correction in a strictly fair, balanced, and non-partisan manner. After all, it’s not as if both Repugs and Dems alike haven’t worked together all along to get us into this godawful mess in the first place.
