That's only because you kept auditioning for the role of Zoot in the Castle Anthrax scene of The Holy Grail.

Re: Weird AND Creepy
Always, always, look to the child the person once was and the conditions of their developmental years.Some Schmo wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2024 9:06 pmTucker Carlson has emerged from some kind of serious childhood trauma. I don't know how else to explain what I just saw.
Example: Hitler was physically and emotionally abused in childhood by his father.
You can look for that type of feature in anyone who stands out such as JD Vance and Trump. Compare the nature of their childhoods to that of Harris and Walz.
Look for chronic abuse and neglect. Look for emotional chaos. Look for breaks in the bonding process.
Many or most developmental theorists say that our personality is formed in the first 3-5 years. Some go higher than that. In my experience I would say that the 5 year mark is far enough to go in terms of personality development particularly awareness of self and others. Empathy is present in children even younger than that. A three year old cries and their friend brings them their blankie. A 4 year old is hurt and their friend sits beside them and gently pats their back while they recover. Those are real life observations, by the way. I've seen videos of 6 month old twins, one crying and the other putting a pacifier in it's mouth to comfort their twin.
Keep in mind that personality development happens in stages that coincide with every other aspect of development. It's all happening simultaneously. That's why the early years are so crucial.
And that's why when normal development is thwarted...you get sociopaths, psychopaths, criminals, folks with extemely low levels of empathy and that's how we get a Trump.
I feel slightly sad for folks like Trump and Carlson. They don't have the insight to know that what they are projecting is evidence of a warped personality. It's like monkeys in a zoo who spit from their cages at passers by and don't know that it's wrong on multiple levels. Because they don't have the social skill and insight that healthy developed humans have.
Trump and Carlson are monkeys in a cage. Spitting their insides out publicly. They don't know they could be spreading a harmful virus that makes people sick. All they know is that it gets them attention that they read as acceptance.
I'll stop now. I could do this forever.
Gonna go look for a Carlson bio now...see what I can see.

Re: Weird AND Creepy
wiki let me go through this as I'm reading it the first time in real time...if something stands out I'll bold it.
Carlson was born Tucker McNear Carlson[48][59] at the Children's Hospital in San Francisco, California, on May 16, 1969.[60][8] He is the elder son of Lisa McNear (née Lombardi; 1945–2011), an artist from San Francisco,[61] and Dick Carlson (1941–), a former "gonzo reporter"[59][62][63] who became the director of Voice of America, president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the U.S. ambassador to the Seychelles,[64] and more recently a director at the lobbying firm Policy Impact Strategic Communications.[65] Carlson's brother, Buckley Peck Carlson, later Buckley Swanson Peck Carlson, is nearly two years younger[66] and has worked as a communications manager and a Republican Party political operative.[67][68]
Carlson's paternal grandparents were Richard Boynton and Dorothy Anderson, who were teenagers when they placed his father at The Home for Little Wanderers orphanage, where he was fostered by Carl Moberger of Malden, near Boston, a tannery worker of Swedish descent, and his wife Florence Moberger.[69][62][70][71] Carlson's father was adopted at the age of two by upper-middle-class New Englanders, the Carlsons, an executive at the Winslow Brothers & Smith Tannery of Norwood (the oldest tannery in America) and his wife.[70] Carlson's maternal great-great-great-grandfather was Henry Miller, the "Cattle King".[72] Carlson's maternal great-great-grandfather Cesar Lombardi immigrated to New York from Switzerland in 1860.[73][74] Carlson is also a distant relative of Massachusetts politicians Ebenezer R. Hoar and George M. Brooks.[66] Carlson himself was named after his great-great-great-grandfather Dr. J. C. Tucker and his great-great-grandfather George W. McNear.[75][76] Carlson is of one thirty-second Italian-Swiss ancestry.[74][77]
In 1976, Carlson's parents divorced after the nine-year marriage reportedly "turned sour".[66][78] Carlson's father was granted custody of Tucker and his brother. Carlson's mother left the family when he was six and moved to France. The boys never saw her again.[1][64]
When Carlson was in first grade, his father moved Tucker and his brother to the La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego, California, and raised them there.[79][80] Carlson attended La Jolla Country Day School and grew up in a home overlooking the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club.[81] His father owned property in Nevada and Vermont, and islands in Maine and Nova Scotia.[62][81] In 1984, his father unsuccessfully challenged the incumbent Republican Party mayor Roger Hedgecock in the San Diego mayoral race.[82]
In 1979, Carlson's father married Patricia Caroline Swanson, an heiress to Swanson Enterprises, daughter of Gilbert Carl Swanson and niece of Senator J. William Fulbright.[64][83] Though Patricia remained a beneficiary of the family fortune, the Swansons had sold the brand to the Campbell Soup Company in 1955 and did not own it by the time of Carlson's father's marriage.[84] This was the third marriage for Swanson, who legally adopted Tucker Carlson and his brother.[83][85]
Carlson was briefly enrolled at Collège du Léman, a boarding school in the Canton of Geneva in French-speaking Switzerland, but said he was "kicked out".[86] He attained his secondary education at St. George's School, a boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island, where he started dating his future wife, Susan Andrews, the headmaster's daughter.[87] He then spent four years attending Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut and graduated in 1991 with a B.A. in history.[88] Carlson's Trinity yearbook describes him as a member of the "Dan White Society", an apparent reference to the American political assassin who murdered San Francisco mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk.[89][90][91] After college, Carlson tried to join the Central Intelligence Agency, but his application was denied, after which he decided to pursue a career in journalism with the encouragement of his father, who advised him that "they'll take anybody".[64][92]
It's right there. Generational breaks in family relationships, foster care experience, adoption, divorce, absentee MOTHER, remarriage, adoption again.
If I have time later to carefully think it through I will post about it. Just on the surface, six year old Tucker had to put up a wall that separated him from the pain of his mother leaving nesver to be seen ever again in order to survive that break. He may have hated her, become indifferent, callous and untrusting of women. Disprespecting.
Maybe Tucker wants to demean his mother like she demeaned him. Give her a good spanking and humiliate her. After all she, the most significant female in his life, abandoned him.
For all we know, she was running for her life.
Okay done for now.

Re: Weird AND Creepy
Don't get me wrong. I feel sorry for these guys on some level. In this case, both Trump and Carlson experienced childhood trauma. That shouldn't stop anyone from identifying them for what they are. Two mishapen guys who feed off eachother who think they are winning when what they're really doing is wide scale damage.
And they're both so messed up they don't even know that they come off as creepy and weird, sleazy and profoundly effed up.
TFB I say. They're societal poison with a public platform with which to spread themselves throughout the country like a flood of toxic sludge.
They could have been so much more. But they aren't. They are what they are.

Re: Weird AND Creepy
I have to find the most generous place in my heart to "feel sorry for these guys on some level" for the reasons you bring up. But I come down exactly where you are. These guys should be institutionalized and removed from public consciousness.Jersey Girl wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2024 11:19 pmDon't get me wrong. I feel sorry for these guys on some level.
