Tucker Carlson has a type. He likes hardline nationalists who can cosplay anti-elitism while pretending they didn’t go to an Ivy, or have an heiress mother, or have the richest people in the country funding their campaign. He likes the kind of candidate who blends hateful nativism and a fear of the impending collapse of Western Civilization, with mockery of blue-haired, cat-owning coastal liberals.
Turns out Tucker’s type may not be super electable.
As Republicans scramble to find an explanation for their poor midterm showing, finger pointing abounds.

When far-right Republican Joe Kent announced he was running for Congress in February of 2021, he also signed up for Gab — a social meda platform that even fellow Republicans have called a “cesspool of bigotry and anti-semitism.” But for almost a year after Kent’s announcement, his Gab his account didn’t exactly take off, languishing at a couple thousand followers well into the summer.
Then something funny happened. In December, months after he’d announced his candidacy, Kent’s Gab account saw a sudden spike of over 7,000 new followers, according...

All seven House Republicans who are seeking reelection after voting to impeach former President Donald Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol are faring well financially, campaign disclosures filed this week with the Federal Election Commission show.
The New York Times points out that despite drawing Trump’s wrath, the seven Republicans are out-raising their primary opponents. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), for instance, raised a war chest of around $6.5 million in 2021, and is entering the 2022 election year with just under $5 million, while her opponent, Harriet Hageman,...

After the nation’s capital spent weeks girding for a repeat of the insurrection, the small crowd who came to the national mall in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol on Saturday to show support for the rioters who stormed that very same building seemed like an embarrassing sideshow. While the paltry crowd made no new attempt to breach the Capitol, they also didn’t have to. The extremist contingent has already established themselves inside the Republican Party, as evidenced by the multiple candidates who were in attendance at their event.

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve heard anything regarding further casting for Quentin Tarantino’s Slave Era spaghetti Western, Django Unchained. Our last update involved Jamie Foxx getting cast as the lead character, Django. Now Deadline is reporting that Kevin Costner is “in talks” to play Leonardo DiCaprio’s henchman, Ace Woody, which frankly sounds more like the name of a character in Boogie Nights. Perhaps Costner is looking to balance his good guy-bad guy roles in upcoming features. The 56-year-old actor has already been cast to play Joe Kent in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Man of Steel Superman reboot. Woody is described as, "a sadistic trainer of the male fighting slaves who entertain the white patrons of Candyland as well as the...

The Good Wife set up a fascinating scenario and an interesting moral debate on "VIP Treatment."
It then let its characters off the hook by speeding through a cop-out of an ending. Wouldn't it have been riveting to watch Dianne suffer through an actual lawsuit against Joe Kent? Or to see how this Nobel Prize winner's endorsement of Peter would be affected by the latter's wife making Kent out to be a sexual deviant?
The show did a wonderful job setting these dilemmas up... only to drop them in a rushed final scene that didn't feel true to the accuser. She started the episode fully aware of the weight of her allegations. So what made her finally realize that she'd essentially be placed on trial if she pursued a lawsuit?
The only conclusion I can draw: the writers needed a way out of the corner they had boxed themselves into.
