    This deserves its own thread. If mods can be bothered (and it's possible) maybe move the relevant posts over from the Kirk thread.

    Given the difference in response by Trump’s FCC to Kimmel’s poor choice of words, vs Fox’s Brian Kilmeade’s on-air statement advocating for euthanasia for homeless people, you would almost think hypocrisy was in play.

    I really do think it's time to consider leaving this country.

    It's not hypocrisy if it's deliberate.

    Hawaii Alaska Washington Oregon have formed a regional healthcare alliance. Maybe they should take it further and become a sovereign country. It seems DC is already attacking the west coast

    The law is consistent and very simple:

    The inferior have no protections and the laws exist only to limit their freedoms.

    The superior have all protections and the laws exist only to protect their freedoms.

    Most of us just haven’t ever been classified as the inferiors before.

    The CDC, justice dept and Supreme Court have been weaponized against academia and science based institutions. Trump is a dictator who is now trying to jail all who prosecuted him for his many crimes. He's starting with black female judges lawyers and legislators. Fuck Donald Trump. Kimmel has 20 million followers online. He’ll just help expedite the demise of TV stations like ABC. I hope nobody tunes in to watch the Charlie Kirk is our martyr show replacing Kimmel tonight. Don't give them a win!

    Same billionaires are funding far right parties everywhere. See the Reform party in the UK.

    He said MAGA supporters “are desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” I think what he said is very likely true, but it presumes things that haven't been determined on the record yet regarding the shooter's motivations. If he had just worded his comment a bit differently so it was clearly a part of a joke and less a statement of "fact", it wouldn't have given as much leverage to Trump's minions.

    Sinclair must be broken up. They basically have a monopoly on local tv and radio

    whoever runs in 2028 must campaign on this

    And this is where liberals have to reckon with the fact that it was their party who signed this reality into law in 1996. Neither party doesn’t want this. They both courted the demons, took their money and let themselves get purchased lock stock and barrel.

    Marc Maron is actually a pretty principled guy. I remember during all the twitter and social media doxxing, and the government directly pressuring social media platforms to ban people, he was one of the few voices on the left that stood up against it.
    Oh wait, no he didn’t.
    Jump off a Walmart, Marc. Two faced four eyed fuck.
