The Peanut Gallery: Tucker Carlson Makes Pilgrimage to Moscow - Hour Long Ass Kissing to Air in Coming Days.
February 5, 2024
Welcome to the Peanut Gallery! Your daily dose of unfounded speculation.
Please remember that I know nothing.
Russia is keeping its cards close to its chest over the swirling speculation that former Fox News host Tucker Carlson could interview Russian President Vladimir Putin while on his trip to Moscow.
Tuck? Yeah apparently, he was born in San Francisco. He’s one of ours. On behalf of California, I wanted to apologize.
I’m horrified to admit, but this fuck-stick spent an hour with Putin yet failed place him under citizen’s arrest. I am ashamed of this man. Simply ashamed. Val Hallah was within his grasp, yet he turned his back on Odin. On the fucking All Father.
Tucker Carlson deserves a coward’s death.
US Senate negotiators unveiled their proposed supplemental appropriations bill on February 4 that — if passed — would provide roughly $60 billion of security assistance for Ukraine, the overwhelming majority of which would go to American companies and US and allied militaries.
This son of a bitch is getting through. Beep. Beep. Like a locomotive into a hymen. Mike Johnson can piss and moan, the Freedom Caucus can minge, but there ain’t nothing Putin’s Puppets can do to stop Biden from ramming this thing home. When the White House is done with Johnson, even John Henry is going to urge him to ease off.
After this election, America needs to have a serious conversation. We need reform, starting with overhauling our electoral processes. Far too many mechanisms in our government empower minority interests. From the filibuster, to gerrymandering, to the Electoral College—all vetoes of the People’s Will. Give us back control. Repeal Citizen’s United. Institute term limits in Congress, and a define a tenure for the Supreme Court. Then we can all sit down and have a chat about how to ditch First Past the Post.
Life cannot be zero sum. We need to change the incentive system.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on February 4 that Ukraine needs to replace a “series of state leaders” across the Ukrainian government who are “not just in a single sector” such as the Ukrainian military.
Holy shit the internet is fucking ugly, am I right? Jesus. Today was vile.
At no point in the interview did Zelensky mention he was replacing Zaluzhnyi. In fact he was aggressively vague, speaking about a general shakeup in high levels of government. He repeated stressed that he was not talking about any individual—in fact he was adamant about it..
Honestly the more I read about this story the more it stinks. Ukraine spent two years keeping mum about everything, now apparently Zelensky floats massive command shakeups vaguely in the open? Yeah okay.
Until Kyiv says otherwise, I think all of this is bullshit. You know what? I think it’ll be helpful if we introduce a new segment:
Storyteller’s Sultry Fan Fiction:
Sometimes I’ll deviate from the popular narrative. This is typically when I’m not satisfied with the common explanation. When this happens, I try to set a point where I’ll admit that it’s incorrect and reevaluate. It’s a way of exploring a thought without getting too attached. I figured it would be a good idea to publicly document and quantify these.
Russia will detonate the Chonhar Bridge before they repair it. This is an oldy, not one I’ve checked up on in a while. Anyone know the status on this bridge’s repair? - I’ll admit this one’s wrong when they either repair the bridge, or Ukraine hits it with another missile.
Ukraine received F-16s for Christmas. - This one goes down when the Kremlin nuts up and sticks jets over Kherson again. To date they haven’t.
Ukraine will cross the Dnipro this winter. - I set a timer for this one. March 17th
And the new kid on the block, Ukraine is playing possum. - Zelenskyy fires Zaluzhnyi.
Mind you any singular disproval of 2, 3, and 4 essentially disproves them all. The first one’s just for fun.
I’d love to read your insane theories in the comments below.
The Kremlin is intensifying rhetoric pushing for the hypothetical partition of Ukraine by seizing on innocuous and unrelated topics, likely in an attempt to normalize the partition narrative in Western discussions about Ukraine.
I’ve seen a few of these. They’re dead giveaways, ripe for blocking.
Delays in Western security assistance continue to exacerbate Ukraine’s shell shortage and undermine Ukraine’s ability to use high-value Western counterbattery systems.
Yeppers! This be one hell of a hole in my thunder run across the Dnipro fever dream. We’ll have to see how significant this turns out to be—though early signs aren’t good.
Rumor is Ukraine’s on the ropes in Avdiivka. The Kremlin has made numerous inroads in the city, both from the north and the southeast. This is thanks, partly, to the Kremlin’s rushing eagerness to exploit a sewer pipe they found leading to the outer edge of the city. It’s enabling them to circumvent the defenders quite inconveniently. The frontlines along the outskirts of the city are uncomfortably fluid.
The Kremlin may not allow Boris Nadezhdin, the only anti-war Russian presidential candidate, to run in the March 2024 presidential election due to Nadezhdin’s larger-than-anticipated popularity.
Of course the Kremlin wasn’t going to allow him to run. Putin’s problem, though, is that by restricting Nadezhdin on bureaucratic grounds, he’s undermining the legitimacy of his own elections. A candidate with 200k signatures? Even with the accused fraud of 15%, that’s only 30k off the top. The requirement was for 100k.
What’s wrong, Putin? Scared he might win?
Ukrainian officials continue international efforts aimed at returning Ukrainian citizens whom Russian authorities illegally deported to Russia.
If you want to support these efforts you can do so by giving to Ukraine.
