This seems like selective outrage to me. Why crucify Disney when no one did the same thing for CBS or Paramount when Colbert was also cancelled for political reasons?

You’re absolutely right. The thing is though, the fascists stacked the courts. ABC/Disney would still lose. It’s not catering to the fascists when they literally are leaving you no choice. It’s instead self preservation.

FCC Chair Threatens Jimmy Kimmel Over Charlie Kirk Monologue Comments; ABC Pulls Show ABC has suspend 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' in the wake of Brendan Carr threatening ABC affiliates following the late-night host's comments about the suspected Kirk shooter's politics.

It’s *VERY* important to note that ABC didn’t decide to pull Kimmel’s show as a private business decision (which they have a right to do), rather, the FCC implied that if ABC didn’t punish Kimmel, the licenses of ABC affiliates could be revoked.

Yep, which is why I am not for the “boycott ABC.” They were given an impossible choice.

To be fair, they were strong armed by the FCC. They are the real culprits. It basically came down to fire Kimmel or their license would be revoked. I’m not sure we are directing our anger at the appropriate people when we say “boycott ABC.”

This tracks when you represent a state that is last in education. Dumbasses.

Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank.

A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring.

We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down.

Make sure that the truth will out.

Stewart & Colbert 2028
Because if the White House is a joke, it might as well be funny 😈😎

What spin. And then immediately changes topics so there can’t be follow up questions.

Happy Birthday!

Keep your hands off the American people.

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical.

We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

Does Brian Kilmeade realize a kid born in 2012 won't remember the Obama administration?

It was in poor taste but also factual.

We are doing another round so we are tapped out financially, or I would make sure we helped in that regard.

As someone who also did IVF, I understand how costly this can get. All I can do right now is share this, but I’ll do what I can.

This is where we are, America. Be ready.

I was told we needed to eliminate foreign aide so we could focus on American homelessness, and now we are eliminating the US interagency council on homelessness. It’s almost as if they are constant and consistent liars.

No sympathy. Each and every one of them knew what they were voting for. They just didn’t think it’d happen to them.

Why Abolishing the Department of Education is a Mistake The Trump administration wants to shut down the Department of Education (DOE), blaming it for America’s declining education rankings. This…

Can we just take a step back for a minute to mourn the fact we're living in a period of US history in which articles with titles like "Abolishing the Department of Education is Bad" need be written at all?

In a first world nation, in 2025, how is this remotely debatable?!

"Quietly". . .

I don’t believe you’re coming from a place of mean-spiritedness at all. I appreciate the feedback.

DOGE Is the Deep State A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar!

A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar!

Executive Editor of News Brian Barrett on how DOGE is the deep state.

I like that idea.

Just Trump and Vance isn’t enough though because then Mike Johnson takes over. Keep impeaching down the Presidential line of succession until we reach a Democrat.

He was talking this morning on Fox about how his policies are going to cause some pain for average Americans. He’s talking tonight about making people in Greenland rich so his oligarch friends can get richer. And rural America thinks Trump is all about them because he loves them.

I live in a red state. Keeping a flame under representatives butts, the same representatives that enable this behavior because they are the same party as the orange turd, isn’t going to work. They are hiding like weasels and not willing to face the public. But I can volunteer in other ways.

Except Trump admitted to the FIFA President that the election was rigged. There is a video of it. So maybe he didn’t actually get more votes.

What are we supposed to do? We can’t do anything right now. Our elected representatives need to step in and they aren’t. And we can’t change that until November 2026 at the earliest.
