Carlson then launched into a Freudian soliloquy by listing made-up scenarios of parents being too permissive, as a metaphor for how he sees America. If you allow a baby to smear poop on the walls or a “14-year-old to light a joint at the breakfast table,” or, he continued, “if you allow your hormone-addled 15-year-old daughter to slam the door of her bedroom and give you the finger, you’re going to get more of it.

Tucker Carlson’s vision of a Trump presidency is that “dad comes home” and says to America,

“You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl and you’re getting a vigorous spanking, right now. … It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me.”pic.twitter.com/fh25KmyYmG — Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) October 24, 2024

“There has to be a point at which dad comes home. Yeah, that’s right. Dad comes home. And he’s pissed. Dad is pissed,” said Carlson. “He’s not vengeful. He loves his children. Disobedient as they may be, he loves them. Because they’re his children. They live in his house. But he’s very disappointed in their behavior. And he’s going to have to let them know.” The crowd of thousands went wild for his comparison, chanting “Daddy’s home” as Trump took the stage. Talk about weird. And Carlson, again, didn’t stop there.

“When dad gets home, you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now. And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you. No, it’s not. I’m not going to lie. It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned this.’”

Any normal person would've been arrested. But Leon with his billions, is given a friendly "pretty please would you stop?" note from the government.

Dude it's the same formula with these people: Lie, cheat, steal.

There's absolutely no way he's "scared." He's been doing the same thing his entire entrepreneurial career.

He may have finally figured out that his strategy is bad, because he's drawing an absurd amount of attention to himself, and because we see that the pattern fits, I'm sure any investigator that looks into what he is doing is going to find serious violations of the law.

It's just another person that is piling up lawsuits and investigations, while people all over the place see giant cracks in what they are doing while they just keep lying...

That's what criminals do. If he's not a criminal, then why is he behaving exactly like one?
