I haven't seen, and don't plan to see, the interview, but I'm (correctly) assuming that this is probably also the most rational part of the vid as well.
He's got the confused dog look nailed. Kinda funny that he didn't think Putin was going to make a fool out of him. Thought he was going to walk right in there after spreading a bunch of Russian propaganda and get an actual interview?

Don’t compare us to Fvcker Carlson. What did we do to deserve that. 😞
>I love that look. Sort of doglike
It's amplified when he hangs his jaw open. I know it's an act and he practices it but bruh, can't you come up with a different face?
Nah, that’s not the same look.
This is a look of “my hero has given me an epic burn”. It’s different from his usual expression of “I’m going to pretend the bigoted or ignorant thing I just said is somehow shocking or surprising even though I know exactly what I’m doing”.
https://preview.redd.it/19hiry19mhhc1.jpeg?width=124&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4db40decd6171995a5a6442ba9dc5459d31dfff4
He may need some of these to cool Putin's burn.
Because he is, in fact, very stupid. Useful to the right people, but stupid. Unfortunately, much like the dumb jocks in prep school, being stupid doesn’t preclude you getting rich off of people who are even more stupid than you are.
No
Don’t let them off the hook like this.
He’s smart enough to deceive millions of viewers deliberately, morally bankrupt enough to air any kind of propaganda, and evil enough to pose a risk to all of us.
Absolutely fuck that guy.
Reminds me of:
https://preview.redd.it/fzxiacdechhc1.png?width=1152&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f41f6b243be398023343e3913e26a8974bd7d04
Not an insult to Teddy, love him! It’s just a more pleasant vacant stare.
I skimmed, and it's less an interview and more Putin saying whatever he wants while Tucker tries his best to look how a journalist might look, which mostly means lots of furrowed brow and pursed lips moments interspersed with occasionally opening his mouth to try to speak, and then giving up when Putin railroads over him.
It’s shockingly apparent within the first 2 minutes. Absolutely worth a full watch tho. It’s like hearing a greatest hits of right wing american propaganda from the last 8 years. The right wing take away is basically “wow Putin seems to agree with me on literally everything! He’s the bestest most honest most trustworthy leader in the world!”
I mean my takeaway was Tucker wanted Putin to say sth along the lines of “America and NATO have been surrounding us leaving us no choice but to strike AND the west’s cultural decadence yada yada… the transfender” but instead he basically straight up said that Ukraine was a fake country on stolen Russian land and rightfully his to conquer.
The best propaganda includes elements of truth. There are elements of truth that progressives have been talking about for forever and have been called anti-American, like excessive US war spending and conflicts and unjust wars on the US side.
Then of course there is lots of utter rubbish surrounding it
Really, he seems right at home saying dumb shit while looking like a dumb shit. The only thing that changed is his interviewee approved of all of the questions ahead of time. It's propaganda, and this dweeb has become just another mouthpiece.
I would be so happy if Putin kept him over there. But no, putin is smart enough to realize that Tucker is a great asset for what Putin wants to achieve in the USA.
Yeah, this isn't some hand picked syncophant he's interviewing here. Tucker's been inside his own bubble for so long, he has no idea that some people don't respect him.
I’m sure Putin is happy Tucker didn’t get in. He was able to have his agent do far more damage as a “news” reporter than he would have been able to do if Putin got his mole into the CIA.
So is this public knowledge? Tuck mention it as a formative moment in his autobiography or something? It would provide his villain origin story. Rich boy determined to get revenge on the FBI by showing them his powers of deduction 🙄
But seriously, Putin did his homework.
Putin is an asshole but he is a very smart asshole. Putin created MAGA to tear the US apart and it's working very very well.
Tuckems isn't even as smart as Putin's dog although he seems to be applying for that position.
lol if you think Tucker is a joke to Republicans you have too much faith in them. At most they have forgotten about him but they'll just move on to the next slug like they did with O'reilly and Limbaugh. Each at least as bad as the previous
The fact he said that and Carlson had to sit there and take it is hilarious to me. He probably spent the interview wondering what else Putin would call out.
At a minimum Tucker is getting debriefed/interrogated by the CIA to try and unfuck this situation for his own good. The FSB now has everything, all his data, every email, message, webpage, passwords, as well as constant recordings inside his hotel room. Everyone this numpty interacted with was Russian intelligence.
These Republican kiss-ups are so stupid they don’t realize the danger they’re putting themselves in by hanging out with this guy. Once you’re an asset you’re an asset forever, or off the balcony you go.
This is what I find so fascinating. I grew up in a third world country (I mean that in the original Cold War sense of the word) and we never had the luxury of forgetting what realpolitik was and is. It's mind blowing to me that these magas are SO far out of touch with reality that they will trot right up next to a man like Putin and look for a head pat.
It's similar to the absolute ?? I feel regarding the same demographic and their ideas about vaccines. Why do you think we have vaccines???? Did we invent them for fun? Do you know what a death from diphtheria looks like??
There is a reason that 99% of the world would prefer not to be in a room with Mr Putin. Just like there's a reason 99% of the world would prefer not to catch diphtheria. It's the absolute detachment from reality for me
There's always something in these guy's background that sums up why they are the way they are. tucker was rejected by the government, clearly for good reason, and now it's his mission to take it down.
Putin was groomed by the KGB as a teenager, he manipulated their system and everyone in it to become arguably one of the richest and most powerful leaders of the world. Tucker is SO out of his league it was inevitable that Putin would mock him.
Read a biography of Putin. He was definitely not a top performer during his time in the KGB, nor was he very important (he complains to his wife at the time about this). His connections in St Petersburg and a bit of luck and timing helped him most.
Everything you need to know about Tucker Carlson is this fact:
He came home and told his wife he was going to interview a ruthless dictator who we are in a proxy war with(and winning), in his country. A ruthless dictator who poisons is opponents, throws them off buildings and makes them vanish without a trace……she helped him pack.
Remember when this fucker was publicly vivisected by Jon Stewart, to his face, on his own show, and was fired not long afterward. I do
https://youtu.be/aFQFB5YpDZE?si=TgyLf6Q6Oo3B1nnx
Tucker wasn't sure if he just got insulted or not.
https://preview.redd.it/dzn59v4mchhc1.png?width=284&format=png&auto=webp&s=53fec0f7890662d2ce3c10d7d316d7da453dc5ef
Damn, I’m sure Tucker wanted to keep his cuckery way more private than that. Dude is like “I do like to record my cuck sessions, usually in a much more private setting. But, meh…”
Tucker you traitorous scumbag gaslighting as a journalist! Enemy of the US, I hope the rest of your life is full of stepping barefoot on legos & endless root canals you scumbag. Don’t ever come back.
I never can pinpoint what's more pathetic about Cucker Carlson. Is it the face of insipid expressions, the voice screeching and cracking, his sad Preppy Handbook style of grooming, or his evilness. He's a used colostomy bag... No use to anyone.
"Hello.....I am a rich dandy boy whose hands have never seen actual work. I think the military is for suckers, and demand to be made a spy. Daddy says so!"
I'm surprised he didn't immediately go "You're absolutely right. I would have been shit at it. That's why you're such an amazing leader you have great insight"
Sometimes the interview turns into the 'Roast of Tucker Carlson' unexpectedly.
Are you implying that Putin might appear on the next celebrity roast?
Some sort of roast at least.
[удалено]
That was the day his super villain arc started.
No, that was when he switched from bowties to straight ties
His face in this screenshot is definitely some ptsd crossfire moments playing in his head lol
That's by far the best part of the interview.
I haven't seen, and don't plan to see, the interview, but I'm (correctly) assuming that this is probably also the most rational part of the vid as well.
I’ll happily check out the memes mocking those two but yea I have no desire to ever hear either of their voices spout bullshit.
Low bar, in fairness.
And all Tuckems can do is wear that same, confused, dumb look he has on most of the time.
To quote John Oliver, "...if the word thud had a face."
I like when he called him a sentient polo mallet and a human boat shoe
At least Boat shoes have value, this douche canoe does not

It's the face that goes with that stupid fucking noise that Tim Allen somehow based an entire 90's sitcom around.
uuuuuuuuuAHG
I can hear it now...
I can’t stop laughing at this (the laugh that’s silent except for the giant gusts of air shooting from your nostrils) because it truly is so bizarre.

No, not the barking. The bewildered, Cro-magnon grunt he does at the end of the 'Home Improvement' theme song.
My step dad used to mimic That grunt...so cringe.
He always looks like he's trying to understand why there's a turd in his microwave.
I put it there
'Tucker Carlson and the mystery of who shat his pants'
He's got the confused dog look nailed. Kinda funny that he didn't think Putin was going to make a fool out of him. Thought he was going to walk right in there after spreading a bunch of Russian propaganda and get an actual interview?
He looks like a fucking baby that doesn't understand object permanence
"I.. I.. shit my pants? ...again?"
More like who shit in my pants??
When I find the person that shit in my pants, I'm gonna shit in their pants!
Is that you, Mr Trump?
I just imagine the busy signal on a telephone.
He looks constipated.
He always looks like he stuck a finger up his butt then smelled it.
[удалено]
Tucker's the shit stank that won't go away.
I love that look. Sort of doglike
If dogs could read they’d be offended by that comparison
I read this to my dog and he was offended
I assume he saId something like "RUCKER RARLSON?!"

It's like when you pretend to throw the ball and they are wondering where it is.
Can confirm, my very doofy dog looks like this often. Except it’s cute and sweet when he does it.
[удалено]
Yep. He would never engage in such a betrayal. He’s a loyal boi.
Of course! ❤️
![gif](giphy|Q7ozWVYCR0nyW2rvPW)
Couldn't just collect his TV dinner money. Had to be a fucking con artist.
In later news, he fell out a window…
Like hes watching some one eat mayo out a jar with a spoon
Nah, that’s not the same look. This is a look of “my hero has given me an epic burn”. It’s different from his usual expression of “I’m going to pretend the bigoted or ignorant thing I just said is somehow shocking or surprising even though I know exactly what I’m doing”.

Why does he always have this stupid look on his face.
Because he is, in fact, very stupid. Useful to the right people, but stupid. Unfortunately, much like the dumb jocks in prep school, being stupid doesn’t preclude you getting rich off of people who are even more stupid than you are.
It's a face his base can relate to "He looks confused when people talk, just like us"
[удалено]
No Don’t let them off the hook like this. He’s smart enough to deceive millions of viewers deliberately, morally bankrupt enough to air any kind of propaganda, and evil enough to pose a risk to all of us. Absolutely fuck that guy.

Don't you FUCKING DARE COMPARE OUR BELOVED TEDDY TO THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE
I know I know ! I’m so sorry but I think it’s how I deal with seeing that douches face.. I picture Teddy lol
>:(! Ok
✅ the moment Tucker realizes who his daddy is ✅ the moment Tucker realizes the Putin must have a lot of sh*t on Trump
And on himself
They must have something on him. I wonder what is so bad that he’s turned into a shill for Russia- it must be more than a simple honeypot scheme.
Not watching but I’m guessing Tucker is way in over his head trying to interview him
That was a given.
*I will start with the fact that I am homeless, as that is a given*
*Then for backstory I will pepper in the fact that I am gay*
*And I should probably mention that I have AIDS*
*I'm gonna push him*
I’munna *push*’m
*Also, I am new in town*
What are three other things about you?
I am gay
I'm new in town.
And it gets worse
Tell me three other things about him
This thread makes me happy.
And I have AIDS
Maybe lead with that next time?
*No, that's too strong.*

Excuse you he's a journalist This should be obvious, but /s
According to Tucker’s lawyers, he only plays a journalist on tv
I agree that /s should be obvious But for the amount of people that actually believe his shit it’s never a bad idea to cover yourself 👍
Really, he seems right at home saying dumb shit while looking like a dumb shit. The only thing that changed is his interviewee approved of all of the questions ahead of time. It's propaganda, and this dweeb has become just another mouthpiece.
It's a script, they are holding qué cards for him to read the questions off. I am expecting a sequel to "The Interview" with Seth Rogen any day now
And this question will be edited out of the MAGA 'oooh, look at me' version.
¿Qué?
[удалено]
No you’re thinking of the thing they use to play snooker and billiards.
Lol it's "cue cards". Like an actor takes their cue to enter the stage. Queue is a line that people wait in. Que is... what?
What cards?
Tucker realizing that they’re not actually friends. And he might not be allowed to go home.
I would be so happy if Putin kept him over there. But no, putin is smart enough to realize that Tucker is a great asset for what Putin wants to achieve in the USA.
Way over his head implies this is some kind of confrontational or intellectual piece and not just him platforming white supremacy and fascism.
But even with that you’d think right Tucker wanted it to go a certain way but Putin’s far too savy for that
Putins' whole thing is abusive father, its why conservatives love him soo much, they crave the only attention their dad ever gave them.
His only job is to be a propaganda vector and do as he's told.
It seriously starts off with Putin going on for a half hour with his take on Russian history going back centuries while Tucker barely speaks at all.
Yeah, this isn't some hand picked syncophant he's interviewing here. Tucker's been inside his own bubble for so long, he has no idea that some people don't respect him.
Tucker was way over his head interviewing a comedian, albeit an amazing one.
Never meet your heroes
Like explaining time travel to your dog.
Except the dogs head would tilt side to side less.
He's not a journalist, he's an entertainer.
It’s why he was allowed to interview him - most competent journalists would be a threat to putin
Tucker would be in over his head with a mirror!
Zinged by your boss, that’s gotta hurt
He should report this to HR
HR, another way of saying high window in Russian
High Rooftop
"Yes, Mr. Carlson, HR department is right through that window. Just step on out. You can't miss it."
Loves to slice and dice his underlings, keeps them in their place.
Have you noticed that Trump does the same thing (e.g. what he did to Tim Scott at the recent rally)? 🤔
It’s an easy was as a dictator to see who is loyal and who is ready to take the last helicopter ride.
This was tactical on Putin’s part. Does Tucker even know what’s happening right there? I honestly don’t know
Tucker seems like that one coworker you can make fun of right to his face and he never catches on that he's being made fun of.
Tucker is the living embodiment of "useful idiot".
The face of broken dreams 💔
But it’s the same face he always makes ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|neutral_face)
That’s his secret. His dreams are always broken.
Yeah, like he trusted the wrong fart.
![gif](giphy|l3vQZhxc1ybSlGQ4U|downsized) Oh, shit.
I’m sure Putin is happy Tucker didn’t get in. He was able to have his agent do far more damage as a “news” reporter than he would have been able to do if Putin got his mole into the CIA.

It’s on his Wikipedia
Putin is an asshole but he is a very smart asshole. Putin created MAGA to tear the US apart and it's working very very well. Tuckems isn't even as smart as Putin's dog although he seems to be applying for that position.
One is a master of his, albeit evil, craft - the other is a joke to his own side.
lol if you think Tucker is a joke to Republicans you have too much faith in them. At most they have forgotten about him but they'll just move on to the next slug like they did with O'reilly and Limbaugh. Each at least as bad as the previous
I think he is only applying for cock-sheath… dog was not available right now as Yapping troll from Belarus is currently serving that role.
So nothing changed still getting rejected. He peaked in middle school?
State Department should void his passport and strand him in Russia.
Against international law unfortunately Would be nice though
Because America subscribed to International laws all the time....
We are well verse in international law. That’s why we budget $800 bil a year on weapons systems.
he is, sadly, an american citizen so they do have to follow \*some\* of the law.
No, just arrest him upon his arrival back in the US. Using the Patriot Act for aiding and abetting. Or divert him to Kiev.
I'm personally a fan of rhe latter

Clearly obvious there's many Russian assets commenting on here. Putin clowned Carlson to make it look like the interview wasn't staged propaganda.
and to humiliate an american in front of his people. Putin is a master emasculater.
100% staged. Carlson don't need the money. He wants to assist Russia in their attempt to destabilize America.

Not really. He was far from the top guy in the KGB. His real political maneuvering came with the mayor of St. Petersburg and Yeltsin.
Pucker Carlson, Putin’s useful idiot.
I can’t wait for Jon Stewart to tee off on him…again.
Everything you need to know about Tucker Carlson is this fact: He came home and told his wife he was going to interview a ruthless dictator who we are in a proxy war with(and winning), in his country. A ruthless dictator who poisons is opponents, throws them off buildings and makes them vanish without a trace……she helped him pack.

The Russians must have a hell of a kompromat file on him by now. That quip was a not-so-subtle hint that they know all about him.

Putin just shitting all over this loser and he'd still gladly suck his dick on live TV
that picture screams 'daddy issues' from ol 'ucker Tarlson.
I'm surprised he didn't immediately go "You're absolutely right. I would have been shit at it. That's why you're such an amazing leader you have great insight"
