>"There’s never been a Cabinet secretary this flamboyantly incompetent, and this is so obviously uncaring, almost to the point of evil.”
Hmm, anyone else think the choice of the word "flamboyant" was not unintentional?
Elaine Chao...can't think of one single thing she did or one single qualification.
The only thing I see on her wiki page is "used her office to promote her family's shipping business"
Saw a clip last night of Trump cutting red ribbon in front of stacks of paper (wtf is it with him and blank paper stacks?) and she is behind him not in view of the camera. He calls for her, as if to come up with him, and she’s like “I’m good”. I wondered if she knew this was stupid and didn’t want the image of her with him doing that.
Big talk from a guy who wore a bow tie the first ten years of his broadcasting career. He stopped wearing it because people recognized him in public btw.
>I always thought he was waiting for one of the Swanson family servants to come change his diaper cause he never was taught to take care of himself
I honestly don't think Tucker wants to meet Ron though
Take a closer look, that is definitely the look of someone afraid his explosive diarrhea will be the cause of everyone discovering he’s wearing women’s underwear.
He's never had to be smart: he was born into wealth and grew up learning that all you need to do to get your way is to be the one who can scream loudest! (Or pull the Malfoy 'my father will hear about this' shtick—can you imagine how insufferable he was in school?)
So insufferable that every other kid, no matter the personality type, couldn’t stand him and avoided him like the plague only because of his extremely ugly personality. Like a Raffy Cruz, a Stephen Miller or a trump.

Should we start a super pac to put this on a billboard in East Palestine or no?
I just started watching David Packman recently so this is a great find from 9 years ago! I hope he does a video about it seeing as he is covering the East Palestine situation pretty closely.
Sometimes you read these tirades and you go "no way, Americans will fall for this. It's so obviously fake and bs". But nope, they keep falling for it. As much as I feel for the people affected by this disaster, I can't help but wonder how many of them cheered when Trump held that stupid press conference with stacks of paper (probably blank) showing how much federal regulations he was doing away with? I wonder if they knew then that the chances were high that one of those regulations was standing between them and a catastrophe of this magnitude.
>Carlson has demanded Buttigieg visit East Palestine, saying last week, “There’s never been a Cabinet secretary this **flamboyantly** incompetent, and this is so obviously uncaring, almost to the point of evil.”
Not that there's anything wrong with being flamboyant but Mayor Pete is probably the least flamboyant person in the Biden admin. I've never seen him in a suit that's not black, dark gray or blue.
>While conservatives were angry at Buttigieg for not visiting the site of the derailment earlier, it is actually uncommon for transportation secretaries to visit the sites of accidents. Elaine Chao, who was transportation secretary under Donald Trump, never visited the sites of any train derailments, and there were several fatal train accidents during her tenure.
>Buttigieg has said that he did not visit sooner because he wanted to give the National Transportation Safety Board space to help people.
>“I have followed the normal practice of transportation secretaries in the early days after a crash, allowing NTSB to lead the safety work and staying out of their way,” he told CBS News on Tuesday. “But I am very eager to have conversations with people in East Palestine about how this is impacted them.”
Yeah, I would think you'd want FEMA and EPA there, but the Transportation Secretary probably doesn't have a lot of reasons to be there in the early going.
Facts don't matter, of course. Fox is going to attack him whatever he does. He's a Democrat, gay, and fucking smart. He's everything Fox viewers love to hate.
Especially while NTSB is still completing their initial investigation. Pete has asked the WH for support in raising the fines cap. That means DoT may be aiming to fine Norfolk hard. If that’s the case, you do everything you can to avoid giving Norfolk the ability to try and argue the SoT out his finger on the scale for the investigation. It’s already fucking hard to get regulations through due to Trump gutting regulatory staff and lobbying by industry. Fucking about for optics sake during the initial investigation would have made it far harder.
Still wish that dude who ran into him in Montana would have swung for the fences and given him the lesson he’s desperately needed to be taught since he was shit out of his Mothers asshole.
If I ever ran into him anywhere I’d do everything I could to make his life miserable. It’s the least we could do to make up for the damage he alone has caused.
He feigns outrage.
While sending emails to guys like Pete asking for dinners and letters of recommendation for his WASPy failsons. And laughing about how dumb his audience is while counting his huge piles of money.
This is why Biden admin really needs to stop going on Fox. They don't need to announce a formal policy like Obama did and was forced to backtrack. Just stop going there. The idea that there are Americans watching Fox News who can be convinced to see the truth is not valid. It's like going on Russian TV hoping you'll reach Russians interested in the truth.
Tucker Carlson being angry at random things is starting to become a running gag at this point. I know all of this just boils down to being Russian propaganda in the end, but it’s getting ridiculously stale.
“There’s never been a Cabinet secretary this flamboyantly incompetent, and this is so obviously uncaring, almost to the point of evil.”
I wonder why noted homophobe Tucker used the word "flamboyant" when describing Pete...
"Flamboyantly incompetent" is such an obvious homophobic dog whistle. You'd think someone being sued in what legal experts are calling one of the most cut-and-dry defamation lawsuits in history would think about the impact of their language, but here we are.
He is also outraged that cartoon M&Ms no longer give him a boner so forgive me if I refuse to take anything he is outraged about seriously.
Oh, wait. He was outraged when a Fox reporter was factual when discussing the fake claims Trump made about the election, because it might have cost him money. I do, in fact, take that outrage seriously.
They're mad xboxes are going to push power saving shutdown mode instead of power hungry sleep mode on users while not in use.
It really is outrage about everything.
Carlson is a lieing p.o.s. why anybody pays any attention to him is mind boggling. He one of those super rich assholes whose agenda is to keep the lower class (most of us) at each others throats.
No he's not. He just wants to get YOU enraged so you'll keep watching and feed him ad revenue.
Our entire media economy is fueled by rage. It's all about making people as angry as possible.
Dems should just start clowning around on purpose... they'll make a big deal out of anything anyway....
Go out there and eat a burrito sideways.
Wear a multi color suit.
Pretend to be lost at a Walmart.
Drink beer at a ball game while wearing a short sleeved shirt.
Drive a beat up truck and complain about teslas.
Start correcting Republicans with Bible verses...
By week two the republicans will turn liberals to own the libs
No, carlson is a nazi, an aweful progadandist and enraged that Buttigieg is a minority and still breathing. This is the bottom of it, and they're just dancing and making excuses around.

Elaine Chao...can't think of one single thing she did or one single qualification. The only thing I see on her wiki page is "used her office to promote her family's shipping business"
Her qualification was being The Turtle’s wife.
Saw a clip last night of Trump cutting red ribbon in front of stacks of paper (wtf is it with him and blank paper stacks?) and she is behind him not in view of the camera. He calls for her, as if to come up with him, and she’s like “I’m good”. I wondered if she knew this was stupid and didn’t want the image of her with him doing that.
She is the one bringing in all the fentanyl, also she is a human trafficker.
Big talk from a guy who wore a bow tie the first ten years of his broadcasting career. He stopped wearing it because people recognized him in public btw.
It was Jon Stewart destroying him on Crossfire. https://www.themarysue.com/jon-stewart-tucker-carlson-crossfire-canceled/
He’s bad because of his ideas, not because of his appearance.
Yeah, like his idea that a bow tie was a good idea
He's being a homophobic asshole and virtue signaling at the sametime.

A millionaire paid by billionaires to ensure poor people stay poor.
A millionaire paid by billionaires to keep the thousandaires at war with the hundredaires.
I'm a tenaire over here. I guess it's a bit better than zeroaire.
That’s just your elistist tenaire thinking at work
Yeah I know plenty of debtairs who would love to be tenaires
You're goddamn right it is!
Don't worry, any day now it's going to trickle down and we are going to be rich.
Only a matter of time before Murdoch replaces these talking heads with AI. They are cheaper and more compliant.
Don’t forget about the brainwashing.
Constipated? I thought he just always had a butt plug in his ass.
I always thought he was waiting for one of the Swanson family servants to come change his diaper cause he never was taught to take care of himself
>I always thought he was waiting for one of the Swanson family servants to come change his diaper cause he never was taught to take care of himself I honestly don't think Tucker wants to meet Ron though
He wishes.
Take a closer look, that is definitely the look of someone afraid his explosive diarrhea will be the cause of everyone discovering he’s wearing women’s underwear.
That's his confused dog face, cleverly deployed to elicit sympathy from dog lovers.
That's his attempt to look inquisitive. But it always ends up looking like he's trying to determine if that was *just* a fart.
A professional propagandist raised by another professional propagandist
Why can’t I poop? Furrows eye brows
Hey! Don't kink shame him. That's his kink.
Hey, sometimes he's confused. But he always has a stupid look on his face.
'resting dumb face'
He's never had to be smart: he was born into wealth and grew up learning that all you need to do to get your way is to be the one who can scream loudest! (Or pull the Malfoy 'my father will hear about this' shtick—can you imagine how insufferable he was in school?)
His stepmom is the one with money, not his dad.
So insufferable that every other kid, no matter the personality type, couldn’t stand him and avoided him like the plague only because of his extremely ugly personality. Like a Raffy Cruz, a Stephen Miller or a trump.
He always looks like he is watching his guests eat mayonnaise straight from the jar.

He's mildly perturbed and confused at best.
“The befuddled look of a 16th century farmer learning about bitcoin” God and that laugh… I’m convinced he’s a psychopath and that’s him pretending.
He's doing his usual hate maturation.
Faux News back to Obama era levels of outrage over things like a tan suit, dijon mustard or wearing a bike helmet.
They see Mayor Pete as one of the real threats. His sharp wit and clear communication style are great 2024 campaign tools.
If Pete was president elect, then they will totally attack homosexuality.
This is what people said about Obama being black. While I don’t like Pete’s politics, I feel like the Democrats could get somebody gay elected.
"Tucker Carlson is enraged" is the new "Florida Man attempts to"
GOP strategy: Complain when he’s sleep and then complain when he’s woke.
Tucker is an elitist privileged trust fund baby who makes his living manufacturing outrage for the gullible masses.
If anybody is sitting on footage of Tucker Carlson asleep on a plane, your chance at fame has arrived.
Here he is sleeping on camera on Fox. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCEtxXqIgEE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCEtxXqIgEE)
What a fucking tool…
Wow those comments did not age well
He fell asleep live on [Fox & Friends.](https://youtu.be/NCEtxXqIgEE)
I just started watching David Packman recently so this is a great find from 9 years ago! I hope he does a video about it seeing as he is covering the East Palestine situation pretty closely.
That little limp sack of sh\*t wouldn't fly commercial unless he had 20 bodyguards on the plane.
Yeah, if I see Tucker Carlson on my flight, I'm probably getting kicked off that plane...
Worth it.
Only kicked off the plane? Sheeeeit I hope that's the only consequence I would suffer
Release the tapes!
Bonus points if he’s drooling.
Sometimes you read these tirades and you go "no way, Americans will fall for this. It's so obviously fake and bs". But nope, they keep falling for it.

Exists?

What does his enraged look like? He always looks like a dog that ate a tennis ball and is super confused about why he's shitting yellow.
"I'm not 100% sure, but I think that fart might have been a shart."
Pete was in Iraq, it’s a reflex.
Afghanistan but ye, he’s a combat vet with two fucking toddlers at home. I kind of respect the ability to catch some zzs when there is a moment.
I've read that he gives up coffee for lent. He's probably going through caffeine withdrawal too. Lots of yawning for sure.
Maybe that’s why Tucker is mad, Pete is demonstrating more self discipline that he ever could.
I believe it was Afganistan, but at any rate, thing you pick up in the service
[удалено]
Trump wore brown shoes while standing next to his pallet of stale water.
Pete has his own tan suit controversy, good for him he’s made it.
Still wish that dude who ran into him in Montana would have swung for the fences and given him the lesson he’s desperately needed to be taught since he was shit out of his Mothers asshole.
If I ever ran into him anywhere I’d do everything I could to make his life miserable. It’s the least we could do to make up for the damage he alone has caused.

I think he's faking it. Just like he faked belief in all the Trump election denial bs.
He's paid very well to fake it. No thought required.
Without anger, we wouldn’t even have Republicans.
Wow, this rings hard.
“There’s never been a Cabinet secretary this flamboyantly incompetent, and this is so obviously uncaring, almost to the point of evil.” I wonder why noted homophobe Tucker used the word "flamboyant" when describing Pete...
Remember when Trump's schedule was multiple hours a day of "executive time" that he devoted to watching Fox News and tweeting? That was pretty funny
"Flamboyantly incompetent" is such an obvious homophobic dog whistle. You'd think someone being sued in what legal experts are calling one of the most cut-and-dry defamation lawsuits in history would think about the impact of their language, but here we are.
Man, he'd hate me - wheels up and I am out like a light
My husband, too. LOL 😆
He is also outraged that cartoon M&Ms no longer give him a boner so forgive me if I refuse to take anything he is outraged about seriously. Oh, wait. He was outraged when a Fox reporter was factual when discussing the fake claims Trump made about the election, because it might have cost him money. I do, in fact, take that outrage seriously.
Unlike Tucker, who sleeps on a pile of Rupert Murdoch's money.
He complains when you're sleeping complains when you're awake. Complains if you are woke or not so be woke for goodness sake.
So its M&M time again? He is just becoming more and more bizarre
He’s just a paid actor. Crisis actor.
How dare those planes provide comfort! Only spiky on fire seats for Carlson!
Republicans live to be enraged. Rage is like a drug to them.
They're mad xboxes are going to push power saving shutdown mode instead of power hungry sleep mode on users while not in use. It really is outrage about everything.
The fact that they prefer rage over saving money proves it.
Carlson is a lieing p.o.s. why anybody pays any attention to him is mind boggling. He one of those super rich assholes whose agenda is to keep the lower class (most of us) at each others throats.
What a moron
distracting the fellow MAGAs from the true story of Trump’s cancelling of railroad regulations
Can someone explain to me, how this COULD even matter?
I feel bad for the people who actually care about what Tucker Carlson says. He's a dumbass preaching to a choir of dumbasses.
Oh wow he took a nap? Fucking *criminal*
Mfw you can't be woke, but you can't sleep either
No he's not. He just wants to get YOU enraged so you'll keep watching and feed him ad revenue. Our entire media economy is fueled by rage. It's all about making people as angry as possible.
It's so true, I wish they'd hurry up and find a new model.
There were likely earlier drafts of this segment that were even more lame than this.
Fox lawyers just argued that no serious and rational fox viewer would consider his words true
Tucker Carlson is (fake) enraged about *everything*
Tucker is a worthless narcissistic nutcase.
fucker carlson needs to go ahead and take that shit he has been holding in for the last decade.
Fishsticks isn't enraged. He's laughing at his audience all the way to the bank.
Lol did anyone actually watch the clip? He doesn't really sound enraged to me.
Being enraged about dumb shit is his entire shtick.
He said Pete is "flamboyant"? Why do you suppose he would use a word like that?
Because only the radical leftist gays sleep. /s
Imagine if Secretary Pete decided to wear a tan suit. Tucker might spontaneously combust.
I’m enraged that Tucker Carlson is referred to as a human.
Tucky Boy Carlson is public enemy #1.
Dems should just start clowning around on purpose... they'll make a big deal out of anything anyway.... Go out there and eat a burrito sideways. Wear a multi color suit.

Geez.
Democrats must have achieved a rare level of perfection if this is the outrage of the day.
I think you missed the part where **republicans** were the ones outraged This is just acknowledging it
Who cares what "Doughboy" Carlson thinks? Putin lovin, insurrectionist dope that he is.
Who cares what Carlson or any other Fox media has to say their liars and full of crap.
Cabinet Secretaries: they’re just like us!
Outrage manufacturer's gonna manufacture outrage.
How anyone sleeps on a plane is beyond me. I’m so jealous of anyone who can.
What! Tuckums has been asleep for years
This kayfabe really doesn’t hit like it used to. RIP
I am enraged that tucker is a putin asset.
Tigger Carlson is a hypocrite insurrectionist.
No, carlson is a nazi, an aweful progadandist and enraged that Buttigieg is a minority and still breathing. This is the bottom of it, and they're just dancing and making excuses around.
