Boy, it'll be an interesting conflict if Donald Trump has to pick a side between Mormon's (who he almost certainly thinks are Christian) and actual Christians.

I watched Tom Snyder's show all the time. It was late-late night, and I was usually super stoned, so I'd turn the sound off and try to imagine what the characters were saying.

Sounds like Kent State in slow motion, but the ending is per-ordained.

I graduated from high school in 1976, with the Vietnam war as part of my coming of age. We took to saying "seeking Liberty and justice" as a subversive and inspired alternative. It pisses the conservatives off, but they struggle to argue the point.

It's a solid interview, and it's helped with subtitles. I wish you had explained what his ear piece was for.

I'm glad he's back on the air, although I've never thought of him as funny. He's a good enough interviewer, but I've never enjoyed his show. I'm generally very liberal, so it's not the politics, it's just that he's not my cup of tea.

Nope. I'll see the replay in the morning. It's crazy the Sinclair and Nexstar stations that are not carrying Kimmel are being called "local" stations by the Trump administration, when the two corporate behemoths own a combined 370+ TV stations. That's anything but local control and decision making.

That's wrong, of course, and the perpetrators should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Likewise, the years-long genocide in Gaza is wrong, and it too should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

It should be banned. Pregnant women should only be allowed Diet Coke and McDonald's.

Yet the US State Department has a Level 4 (Highest Level) Travel Advisory that says: β€œDo not travel to Syria due to the risk of terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, hostage taking, and armed conflict. Read entire travel advisory.”

Interesting that the company that pulled him from the air wonders if there's a way to return him to the air, when the simple and obvious answer is JUST RETURN HIS SHOW TO THE AIR AND GUARANTEE ITS SAFETY. PERIOD.

The court should have sanctioned Trump's attorneys too.

I had to look it up. It was a unanimous opinion, with a concurring opinion by Justice Gorsuch.

The Presidential Succession Act of 1947 outlines the line of succession of cabinet officers is in the order of their agencies’ creation.

Vice President
Speaker of the House
President Pro Tempore of the Senate
Secretary of State
Sec of Treasury
Sec of Defense
Attorney General
Etc...

You mean, like maybe in the Oval Office, with JD sitting at his side, and that Mike Johnson guy on the other side, and enough ammo to take them all out? I'm not saying that should happen, because it would be wrong and all that, I'm just kinda wondering about the possibility of a hypothetical.

I think the courts will disagree with you. It's not that you are wrong, just that Trump has already seized control of the highest courts, and now he'll decide what the First Amendment says. Sucks.

We're not even a year into it yet. The big question is what will be like when this phase reaches its end.

It's all new to me, and I've been doing my best to figure out which ones are the good guys. I keep coming up blank, almost like they are all shades of really awful.

My number was 8255, and my best friend's was 9308. Yup, it was so long ago we just had to remember four digits for local calls. In the many years since I've heard those four digits used many times on radio stations because the letters associated with them spell T-A-L-K.

Charlie Kirk says gun deaths "unfortunately" worth it to ... The conservative founder of Turning Point USA made the comments following a mass shooting in Nashville last week that resulted in six deaths.

Trump will claim all the bad stuff the government is doing is "essential," and keep doing that under emergency powers, while claiming all the good stuff must be unfunded. We'd be left with an unfunded government occupying your city with hostile military force. The bad guys always seem to win.

Yeah, it is my shot, and it's one of my favorite covers because I was the initial impetus behind the AOL program, so it was good to see it finally become real.

I’m still mourning the loss of a bag of plastic dinosaurs I got at the 1964 World’s Fair, and accidentally left on the school bus after show and tell. So, for everybody out there; if you found my dinosaurs on Bus Number 10, please return them!

I'd be better if the military grabbed Justice Thomas, assuming he was a street thug, rather than a government thug.

Yeah, and then he went on to say that just because it has actually happened to you, there's no reason to think it could happen again, and no reason to grant standing to seek court protection.

Justice Sotomayor did not end her dissent with the traditional "I respectfully dissent," but rather with the simple, bold, and direct "I dissent." I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their conference room.
