I declare a moratorium on social media sites, I can't keep up! This plan sounds less the fully baked.
Tucker Carlson Plans to Start His Own Twitter-Based Media Company: Report
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, along with former White House adviser and Daily Caller publisher Neil Patel, are planning to start their own media company that is likely to use Twitter as its backbone.
People familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal of Carlson’s plans on Friday. The host has already begun posting free videos on Twitter and is reportedly embroiled in a legal dispute with Fox News over breach of contract.
The new media company would build upon the free videos Carlson is already posting on Twitter. It would be driven by subscriptions. According to the unnamed sources, viewers will still be able to access the free videos but would need to subscribe to get access to the videos in their entirety. There are also plans for additional hosts.
Carlson and Patel, who were roommates in college, are looking to raise hundreds of millions to fund the creation of the company. It would have its own website and app and may look to other platforms in addition to Twitter. A spokesman for Carlson told the Journal that he is wary of using Youtube as the main engine of his company due to their greater willingness to censor videos.

I have never been able to keep up with just 2 (not including TFB though I have trouble keeping up there as well). I have just learned to live with it. Ig others need to keep up o social media, good for them but as for me, not happening, and I'm good.
White nationalist and Russian asset Comrade Tucker Swanson Carlson goes to Hungary to apologize to orban because the US Ambassador hurt Orban's little fee-fees
"Right-wing political commentator Tucker Carlson delivered a speech in Budapest apologizing on behalf of the United States over U.S. ambassador David Pressman's critique of the country's latest anti-LGBTQ+ crackdown.
Conservatives such as Carlson tout Hungary as an example of a successful right-wing government, but human rights watchers have raised concerns about democratic backsliding under the rule of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The government has passed a number of measures in recent years weakening political opposition, violating European Union (EU) laws surrounding migrant rights, and targeting the rights of minority groups such as the LGBTQ+ community.
The Hungarian parliament also passed legislation that banned certain LGBTQ+ content and a measure that would allow citizens to report some same-sex couples to authorities. However, Hungarian President Katalin Novák vetoed the measure, as it would violate EU law and stir global concerns about the treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals in the country."
In addition to simping for orban because the US Ambassador correctly called Hungary out for their descent into authoritarianism, Comrade Tucker Swanson Carlson also claimed the US hates Hungary and Russia for being "christian" countries. (orban and putin are both, at best, Christian in Name Only.)
"He claimed that the reason some call Viktor Orbán a “Putin suck-up” is because “one thing that Russia and Hungary have in common is, a big part of the population identify as Christians.”
That Christian identity, he said, is “not fine with Washington at all.”
“It’s deeply offensive to see that alive in Europe,” he said. “And that is the core. It’s not rational. It’s, this is happening on a gut level, but it is expressed through policy.”

Phil Berg went to Europe and told them 9/11 was an inside job, but that isn't as offensive as apologizing "on behalf of the United States of America".
You don't represent the United States, and you never will, so fuck you, shuddup and siddown.
Well, Tucker Swanson Carlson's daddy is currently a lobbyist for Orban in the US. And Comrade Tucker has been simping for Uncle Orban and Big Daddy Putin for a while now.
(Not to mention that the current crop of right wing assholes see Orban's Hungary as a model of the authoritarian state they want to turn the US into.)

Well, until they can go full Stalin, it's more of a waypoint.

U.S. Constitution Article II Section 2 Paragraph 2 (dealing with the President)
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
That doesn't say anything about has-been jerk-wad TeeVee Watermelon-heads having anything to do with international diplomacy what-so-ever. Period.
And I believe there's even criminal law regarding that sort of thing. (but IANAL, so what do I know?).
Well, every right wing nutjob site was repeating this, but it was lost in the whole white noise of birtherism as well.
"Sinclair, who has spent time in prison for forgery, fraud and larceny, alleged that Obama, who was then a Senator, bought and smoked cocaine before having sex with him.
He also made another claim that the former president had another male lover and was connected to his death. These were detailed in Sinclair's self-published 2009 book 'Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder?'.
Sinclair, who served time in prison Arizona, Florida and Colorado, ran to become mayor of Florida town Cocoa in 2018."
“Russian TV news channel Rossiya 24 has aired a trailer for a weekend show featuring former Fox News journalist Tucker Carlson.
The state-run broadcaster did not make clear whether it will feature original content or be a translation of his regular English-language videos on X.”
“ Rossiya 24 has not yet said when the show will air.”

I did not know that. Thanks. But why do the claims about fentanyl get repeated so often. It didn’t play a role in Floyd’s death.
They found Fentanyl in his bloodstream, and suddenly every goddam idiot in America became a dosage expert. Be must have been in a drug induced rage so the shithead policeman had no choice but to kneel on his back! The amount could theoretically be lethal so therefore the guy died from the Fentanyl not from a shithead using his back as a kneeling cushion!
The crux of Carlson’s story is that a prosecutor who was taken off the case said the medical examiner told her there was no evidence of asphyxiation or strangulation and that there was pressure to bring murder charges even when the facts didn’t warrant it.
That never happens.
If Chauvin is freed, Carlson needs to be held responsible.
For some reason every time I hear his name, the back of my head starts to riff off Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers using Tucker instead. It's not fully formed yet.
