Unfortunately, we need to suffer for the next 14 months. Itโ€™s going to be awful, but it has to get a lot worse before it can get better. Voters need to stop being saved from their votes.

Isnโ€™t it weird how Trump isnโ€™t doing rallies or seen playing golf at his resorts each weekend anymore? Can he not stand and talk to his supporters anymore? Can he not walk and swing a golf club anymore?

Is he a feeble old man who is too physically and mentally delayed to be a real man anymore?

Disgusting leadership and the very reason Fascism is here and firmly/deeply rooted in American politics.

Thatโ€™s what they get for wearing white at home.

Could be a perfect game for the old โ€œground and poundโ€.

And you thought tariffs were fun when they boosted inflation.

This. You have the freedom to say what you want, but the consequences of what is said are equal opportunists.

I know other news is dominating the cycle right now, but I donโ€™t want the fact Charlie Kirk was a racist & Fascist to get lost in the weeds.

Carry on

Charlie Kirk was a Fascist blowhard

This is all

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest:

Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes

ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

17.09.2025 23:53 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 9350    ๐Ÿ” 2608    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 109    ๐Ÿ“Œ 50

remember when comedy used to be completely legal but rightwingers started a full on assault on the entire US media apparatus to โ€œlegalize comedyโ€

Just a reminder Chuck Kirk was a vile human being.

Thatโ€™s is all

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after FCC chair criticizes host's Charlie Kirk comments

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after FCC chair criticizes host's Charlie Kirk comments

Doesn't matter if Jimmy Kimmel is a wanker.

If the US government is silencing comedians for joking about their favorite podcaster then you're in full blown authoritarianism territory

The remarks werenโ€™t โ€œabout Charlie Kirk,โ€ they were about how this administration is using Kirkโ€™s death as an excuse to shut down critics โ€ฆ and they responded by proving him completely correct.

Reminder that Charlie Kirk has been vocal for years about his hope for Liberals to have violence brought upon them by his supporters and other right wing troglodytes.

Thinking about the Kawhi Leonard story and the relationship TB12 had with the Patriots for no particular reason. Man it's so cool that Brady took less to play for the team!

I believe we could dramatically reduce dis/misinformation if we collectively agreed to ignore any news article with a headline or lede following the general template of "[name of individual or organization] says"

"Elon Musk says ..."
"Experts say ..."
"Trump official says ..."
"Critics argue ..."

a handy rule of thumb is that the biggest and loudest defenders of trump are also the ones flaunting their own criming

Definitely true. Marathon shape =/= Sprinting shape, especially in your 40โ€™s.

What if you do sprint and pull both of your Achilles and groin muscle? Asking for a friendโ€ฆ

His Magasty claiming Barack Obama rigged 2020 is all the proof I needed to know that His Magasty and Edolf definitely rigged 2024.

Fascinating and bizarre to see a scandal finally begin to stick to Trump, and itโ€™s one weโ€™ve known the broad strokes of for years and years.

The story about Colbert being cancelled becauseโ€ฆ. Trump doesnโ€™t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the powerโ€ฆ they will use their money to silence you.

Time to rise up.

If Bill Clinton is on the Epstein list, I want to know. Expose everyone, democrats and republicans. I donโ€™t care.

You know why?

Because Iโ€™m not in a cult.

[MAGA world suddenly looking at the photos and videos of Trump being weird with teenage girls and putting it together like the end of โ€œThe Usual Suspectsโ€ only it takes three hours because thereโ€™s a LOT of material to get through]
