    I don't think that's his job. His job was to dare them. See if they were dumb enough to take the bait.

    Now we have more ammunition against them. They made their threats publicly. And everybody has seen it.

    Maybe he should have just talked about airplane food instead of politics. That would have kept him on air.

    He’s a comedian. Say basically the same thing as a joke and he’s pretty much untouchable from a legal standpoint.

    I don’t think his job was to dare them. His literal job was to comment on current events in a sharp comedic way. If he had made his point with humor he’s still on the air to skewer Trump another day.

    I read it and it was funny (in an ironic way). I didn't get to see his delivery.

    What’s going to happen when Coach Steve Kerr goes off in one of his press conferences like he has done two or three times about Trump? Honest question.

    Could a mod fix spelling of cancellation? My OCD is being triggered.

    And stupid autocorrect tried to change mod to mud.

    Mud would be one of the nicer things we've been called today.

    I doubt anything happens as trump knows there are way to many moderates/Independents that adore Stevie Kerr.

    Guess who's got more than you have...

    (We actually had one in our garden when I was a kid. It was dead, and we chopped it down and used it for firewood (pretty crappy firewood - it spat all over the rug), but still...

    Trump will probably ask for his removal or else the Warriors will be forced to trade Stephen Curry and forgo first round picks indefinitely.

    Me too, then I'm out.

    I have heard a lot of people are cancelling. How many people/households do you think are cancelling? Millions? That's a lot of money out the door for Disney. They are probably going to see a loss at their parks too.

    That would be funny. First show in history to have zero viewers (once MAGA folks watched a couple of episodes and realized it was boring as hell).
