Why are you going on and on about fascists in many of your posts???  I share some of your believes but not how you troll people continuously.  Most people you call fascists are just random people with different opinions and political affiliations.  

 

If I voted for Trump and agree with many of his policies does not make me a fascist?   You using the term inappropriately like a child having a temper tantrum is pathetic. Your non-political posts are interesting and wonder why you become so infantile when discussing anything related to politics.

 

Just chill and I guarantee you are wrong about many of your political beliefs as I am about mine.

I don't know about the majority of Americans.

It was revealing about Trump, asked about how he was feeling after the death of a supposed "dear friend" he essentially replied (paraphrase) "I'm fine, look at the trucks."

Shows his level of friendship.

 

The question is are the late night comedians being subjected to Trump's agenda.

He remarked after Colbert's cancellation that Kimmel would be next.

I haven't enjoyed watching any late night monologue since Leno. I tried watching Kimmel in the past and I really don't like him. But, that's me and so I don't watch him. 

 

If he was fired for what he said then I'm not sure it was warranted. Because that opens the door for censorship. 

 

If he was fired because of $$$ then ABC has every right and glad he's gone.

 

No. If he was fired because the Trump administration strongarmed NBC to fire him it was wrong, it should be exposed, Kimmel should be reinstated, the administration sued, and Brendan Carr fired. 

 

If he was fired because, as I understand it, NBCs viewers and more importantly affiliates were complaining, then it's fine. 

 

I also heard (true or not) that Disney asked Kimmel to issue an apology, but he wanted to double-down and attack MAGA.

 

The show was hemorrhaging money viewership was plummeting. How does attacking and calling half the country stupid fascists make good business sense?

I never once suggested that every person who voted for Trump is a fascist.

But you constantly call MAGA fascists, correct? 

 

You seem to think that because there are "Republicans" on TV attacking Trump, that there is some huge divide. There is not. People that support/voted for Trump, support the MAGA agenda. 

 

You believe half the country support fascism.

Did you think it was funny or entertaining to a majority of Americans to see free speech — guaranteed by the 1st Amendment — cancelled?
 

Don’t you think ABC should be free to hire and fire as they see fit — even though Trump declares media coverage he doesn’t like 'illegal'?

Why are you never able to just answer a question? Being honest will not hurt you, and even if when you start being truthful people start calling you a right-winger, you can still vote for Marxists. 

NY Times headline today:

 

Trump Says Critical Coverage of Him Is ‘Really Illegal’
It remained unclear why the president believed negative news coverage, which all of his predecessors have faced and is protected by the Constitution, would be against the law.

If new coverage is intentionally false, I think it would be illegal.

You keep asking the same two questions because you’ve got no answers — repeating yourself isn’t proof, it’s just denial.
 

I haven’t seen your graph showing left violence greater than right yet.
Is it difficult when you have to manufacture your own data-sets? 🙂

That's because, unlike the left, I do not make up graphs and present them as fact.

No, it's really easy, that's what the left does.

Please explain it for us. 

 

Kirk was a free-speech absolutist, and the shooter apparently killed him for what he said. 

 

And dinsdale said: "Using the assassination of someone to gain laughs and push a political agenda on national television isn't what the 1st Amendment is about. What Charlie did was.". 

 

He did not say that the First Amendment did not allow for it, he said that it was not what the First Amendment was for. Do you understand the difference? 

 

 

 

 

Yep F grade for you.

The FCC only licenses individual TV broadcast stations. ABC/Disney owns 8 stations outright. The ABC network / ABC News is not licensed or regulated by the FCC.

ABC has a deal pending requiring FCC approval. The treat was there. Same use of threats against law firms (no federal gov't contracts), higher education (no federal research grants), media (lawsuits filed by trump). We comprehend the threat ... obey me. Sorry, get with the program and support the official administration goals which trump was overwhelmingly elected to carry out.

 

A prominent U.S. congressional caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), has issued a forceful statement navigating the complex and often violent terrain of American politics. The statement makes a broad condemnation of political violence, linking several disparate events: the killing of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman, the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and the recent murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The caucus explicitly frames this violence within a longer national history, particularly poignant for the Black community, citing the assassinations of iconic leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Medger Evers, and Fred Hampton.

However, the statement draws a sharp distinction between condemning the act of violence against Kirk and endorsing his ideological platform. The CBC vehemently rejects his worldview, which they characterize as including the denial of systemic racism, the promotion of the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory, and the belief that the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake. They also cite his history of making derogatory comments about the cognitive abilities of several prominent Black women.

From the caucus's perspective, a proposed resolution in the House of Representatives to honor Kirk’s legacy is not a genuine gesture of healing but rather a political maneuver to legitimize these controversial ideas. They further criticize former President Donald Trump for his response to the tragedy, which they describe as a cynical threat to target political opponents, thereby deepening national divisions.

Ultimately, the CBC positions itself as the "conscience of the Congress," calling on its colleagues to reject both political violence and the ideologies it believes fuel such extremism, signaling a firm stance against any reconciliation that requires compromising their core values.

I am not clear on your position.

 

Everyone left of center being collectively labeled as "lefties", would be the same as everyone right of center being collectively labeled as "Righties", not fascists.

 

Everyone left of center being collectively labeled as "Marxists", would be the same as everyone right of center being collectively labeled as "anarchists". 

 

I see the divide as the left wanting more government, and the right wanting less. 

 

I would like to understand how you see the current Republican party as different than the traditional Republican party, and how you see the current Democrat party as different than the traditional Democrat party.

 

I see the "wealth gap" a red herring, in the same way that guns are. There is nothing new about having a wealth gap, and to blame the current political atmosphere on it, in my opinion, just intellectually lazy. 

 

 

 

 

I see the divide as the left wanting more government, and the right wanting less.  Too generalized. here we might find some middle ground but it would take focus on a particular issue to be addressed (leave off your background "intellectually lazy" slap). Good to know that the statistics do not document that the income wealth gap has grown to previously unknown levels. The current Republicans following trump are not the followers of Reagan. McCain, Romney, Cheney ... Mandami  is called Marxist ... trump Fascist?  I only cite hoe the "leftie" label, etc.  is being used not the accuracy of the use.

If the claim was not intellectually lazy, you would dive into it a bit more, rather than calling it a slap and dodging it. 

 

Republicans following Trump are followers of Reagan, but you are right, they are not followers of McCain, Romney or Chaney.

Not ABC itself.

 

A $6.2 billion deal looms over Jimmy Kimmel's suspension

 

In August, Nexstar announced it wanted to buy Tegna, another local TV operator, for $6.2 billion in a deal that would require FCC approval. That same month, Sinclair said it was reviewing its business and considering "acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and business combinations," which would also be subject to FCC review.

OK.

US Senator Ted Cruz has accused the head of America's broadcast regulator of acting like "a mafioso" in the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel - the sharpest attack yet from a conservative Republican on the controversy.

 

He said Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Carr's threat to ABC over their comedian's monologue about slain conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was "dangerous as hell".

 

"That's right out of Goodfellas," the Texas Republican said, as he affected a mobster's accent.
