President Trump: Making America Great Again...

Conservatives don't do cancel culture, or so they say.

The LOVE cancel culture, they just HATE to be cancelled.

I watched the clip. Kimmel can be super political but this was nothing. I can’t believe he is off the air for that.

And we mock the UK for not having free speech. God help us.

Before I read what he said, I thought of all the late night hosts he would be the one who would cross the line. But that? Where was the line? Because he essentially said MAGA would claim him? Trump and his ilk blamed the left on Kirk's death the day of the assassination.

And this is what Kimmel said on social media soon after the assassination:

“Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.”

Colbert was ousted first. These are scary times

The pendulum be swingin'!

the left and the right are the same thing, just reverse imaged. This is why I throw away my vote on whichever third party can spoil either side in presidential politics.

[wally]

Why do republicans hate the high ground. Ugh.

Lol! They have just been doing what has been done in other worlds?!?!

uh, they aren't the same. Trump does not have a liberal counterpart. This is uncharted territory man.

They care about King Trump and his whims. Not principles.

Also, what good is the high ground if you can't piss on your enemies? Republicans are just less subtle about it.

I’ll admit that I had no idea there were still late night talk show hosts. Do they still do the local news at 10pm as well?

Yeah that wasn't bad at all.

I have got to find a situation in which I can say that.

The FCC had no business being involved. I see no basis for claiming Kimmel’s comments violated FCC regulations.

My question is: To what extent was Kimmel’s suspension driven by FCC pressure versus ABC acting independently? I have no issue with ABC disciplining Kimmel for his remarks, as he was promoting an unlikely narrative already debunked by both the FBI and the Cox. It’s the same baseless narrative some of my left-leaning friends were spreading on social media.

It wouldn’t shock me if ABC made the call on its own. One silver lining from this tragedy is that it’s forcing a reset in political discourse. People are starting to realize that their words, and how they choose to express them, carry weight and can lead to real consequences.

That is your takeaway from this? Good grief.

One of them.
