What to do with Tucker? A modest proposal---

Strip him buck nekkid, dye his entire body fluorescent orange, tattoo "Your Quran is my toilet paper!" on his forehead and air-drop him into Mecca with a fluorescent green parachute.

Is that too "over the top"?

the person or persons who continue to allow him to work as a "news reporter" should be held accountable also. Any one of us would have been shown the door immediately.

He thinks Tucker just set himself set himself up to be Rupert Murdoch's fall guy for the Dominion suit by doing this. Murdoch is looking for excuses to fire people, and the added unwanted attention this is causing the network will not go over will. Keith may or may not be right about that, but his general opinion on Tucker was at least entertaining, if not therapeutic.

You said "modest proposal " but I can't imagine anyone stomaching him!

For those who are not Swift enough to get the joke...go with "fava beans and a nice chianti "

I would prefer tattooing swastikas and other Nazi symbols and "Hitler was right" on him, and dropping him in the middle of Highland Park, IL--after sending out flyers there and in Skokie, Glencoe, and surrounding areas with date and time. Or, some other version involving Compton, Southside or West Side Chicago, Oakland, the Bronx... Let Americans take care of him. It's a lot cheaper than sending him to Mecca, too. He ain't worth the shit that comes out of his ass, let alone that kind of money and effort.
