I can’t believe I’m having Tucker withdrawal symptoms. Hi, I’m brammy and I haven’t watched the Tucker Carlson show for TWO DAYS.!” I do not care for it and will need a support group soon.
Thanks for giving me this post to read when I would normally be watching Tucker. Do you think you could post a new article every Mon -Fri at 7PM central?
What a great piece of writing. I can hear a Tucker giggle in the first few minutes. He told the truth and we can only hope he lands somewhere soon. We desperately need his voice for 2024!
Sasha, Tucker's story is not over. He/we will start a new chapter soon and it may even be better than the past chapters. You have captured his mood, his passion, and his deeply held beliefs but like others that have hit road bumps or road construction, he will keep going and not retire to a monastery. Just saying
What troubles me so much about the direction the US is headed - and I've read a lot of books about tyrannies and how they develop - is that I don't know how to function in such a society, short of not saying anything and not trusting anyone. I remember once listening to someone from Poland who lived most of his life behind the iron curtain. HIs ability to say lots of stuff without saying anything was amazing. I can't do that. I can't be dishonest or deceitful. I can't keep what I think under wraps. I can't say "What opinion do you want me to have?". I will likely be one of the first to be executed (yes, it will come to that). I'm old enough that it doesn't bother me that much. But I have nieces and nephews that I hope will learn quickly.
We, in the US, are in a very dark place and I don't think we will escape the inertia. History will see us as just another empire that lasted a bit longer than most and honored an obsolete, puzzling concept called "freedom".
Brilliant! You nailed it with this. It's as if you were channeling Tucker Carlson and I could hear his voice saying these words as I read them. Superb job!
I cancelled my subscription, which I'd had since the very beginning, within moments of hearing the news yesterday. When cancelling they ask, "Why?" and give some lame choices and a text box to explain. I just wrote in, "You know damn well why".
Thank you Sasha. A perfect blend of his hardcore truthfulness, bravery and compassion. I hope he is able to listen to this and feels support from you and all of us who admire his integrity. You are an insightful and talented writer/speaker in the same league as Tucker. I look forward to reading everything you share.
Is it just me or does Tucker's axing exactly one day before the crooked, scrambled-brain Muppet installed in 1600 announced his intention to become the oldest living fossil ever to sit behind the desk in the oval not seem like just a coincidence?
It makes me think about my awakening over time. I used to watch Tucker and like him because he was basically a conservative like me and exposed the left and their idiocies.
But then I read other views and realized how it was all a game of manipulation and Tucker was playing a part in it (he didn't realize it, according to him). I stopped watching him.
But then he woke up and began his assault on the deep state (or whatever you want to call the controllers) and the lies. I was back on board!
And now they've taken his voice away. I could be despondent, but I'm not. Because, like Trump said, it's not about Tucker. It's about us. They hate us and don't want us to see the truth.
Taking away Tucker doesn't stop us from seeing the truth.
Absolutely brilliant! No worries for Tucker he can name his price for a podcast like Joe Rogan did. He’ll be even bigger now no advertisers holding him back.
We will need an updated version of Don McLean’s “American Pie” with a new line: “...the day, cable neeewwws....died. So bye, bye Murdoch & Fox News, drove my Chevy to the levy but....the levy wasn’t dry. The boys are drinking a new whiskey and rye, it’s satisfying new taste is SUBSTACK pie”
With writers like Sasha, Matt T, Alex B, Michael S, Bari W, et al, we’re at the birth of a new American journalistic era. So lucky are we.
Adiós cable news, Vaya con Diós, the obituary is written. Tucker was your last man standing.
I read this whole piece hearing his voice. Great job. Slow Clap!
Sasha, you’ve become one of the few remaining pillars of sanity - buckle up, beware the shit-throwing monkeys - but you are VERY much appreciated.

Beautifully written piece.
Could not agree more.
Love Taibbi's bit about Joe "tiny brain" Scarborough .
Will be interesting to see where Carlson lands...standing.

FoxNation is the new CNN+

EXCELLENT!
Beautifully & powerfully stated.
I weep for our nation.

They lose.
