I'd rather see somebody do something like "Best of Youtube" or similar for 30 minutes than what goes on now. Wouldn't need a studio, could trim back the number of writers, and introduce it with a 21st century version of Elvira. I'd watch that.

 In Q2 of 2025, an average of 2.42 million Americans tuned into Colbert's show, followed by Kimmel's program pulling in 1.77 million. Not bad. So when Trump says they are poorly performing, low-rated, one has to ask what does he know about anything?

The Biden Administration was certainly not shy about putting pressure on media outlets, so it would not surprise me one way or the other. 

 

But it's safe to say that NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and all legacy media outlets have been one sided, favoring the Democrats for at least 40 years, and it has gotten worse every year.

For August and September, Kimmel average 1.1 million putting him in third place behind Colbert and Fallon. And fourth place, if you count Gutfeld, which was in 1st place. But really all those shows are pretty boring and predictable. Networks just need to try radical counterprogamming to what is there now.

Alternative definition of fascism: A term with a specific meaning now incorrectly used by people not educated in it's actual meaning.

Actual definition of fascism:-

Dictatorial leader - check

Centralised autocracy - check

Militarism - check

Forcible suppression of opposition - check

Belief in natural social hierarchy - check

subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race - check

Strong regimentation of society and the economy - check

 

That clear it up for you?

Please... you are generating needless stomach acid for yourself. This is hysterical. The US has an elected President, very non centralized (federal system), no suppression of opposition (poor Jimmy is back on TV), etc.

You are correct that this can define fascism. You are completely incorrect to call America a facist state with Trump being the dictator. Thankyou for demonstrating your lack of knowlege in political theory. It's one thing to Google then cut and paste it's another thing to understand what your pasting.

This list of yours doesn't have much validity, in my opinion, and it serves to deflect from all the real criticism Trump deserves. The general population isn't going to take this seriously and it will lead many people to disregard anything else you have to say. Trump's incompetence, his bending the economy to his and his friends' self interest, and the incoherence of most of his policies--these are the places to concentrate. Few people will go into a voting booth thinking about someone's vague and in many cases errant idea of what is fascism. They will vote because of inflation, the declining worth of the dollar, the reduction of basic services, and lost jobs.

This can be argued either way, and yes, if the economy appears strong for the poor and middle class, and the streets seem safer, and the left keeps calling Trump Hitler, half the country fascists, and Charlie Kirk the devil incarnate, the midterms should be great.

This is good news. For a man who spoke about free speech as recently as 6 months ago, Don sure is doing an excellent job suppressing it and attempting to prevent criticism of himself on every level possible. In the past presidents would simply ignore criticism, when you're in that kind of position no matter what your policies are you're going to be criticized.

 

Real men who have thick skin, men who have big hearts, men who have true bravado are simply not bothered by a little bit of criticism. His behavior is that of cowards, misfits, punks, bullies, snowflakes, sorrowful souls with a pathological victim mentality, creeps and circus clowns.

I think the (not so) stable (not so) genius is going to have a bad day. And re Kimmel's ratings tonight...well..."some people will be saying it's the highest rated late night show ever; nobody has ever seen anything like it". (Including clicks on YouTube tomorrow).

 

Scalpers are also going to make their year auctioning off Kimmel's free studio tickets.

 

BTW, with all the other news of the last 2 weeks, this went unnoticed:

 

A while back Trump spewed his usual insults at Rep Jasmine Crockett, using his racist "reserved for Black women" insult of "Low IQ". Crockett did not let that pass. She got official records of Trump's scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test when trying to get into Wharton (his dad's bribe eventually worked).

 

Guess where the "stable genius" (sic) scored.....

 

The 38th percentile, meaning 62% of test takers beat Trump. He's down there with truck drivers and others who should have set their sights on technical schools, not academic institutions. In general, perhaps universally, those who score in the 38th percentile are not accepted to Ivy League schools. 99th percentile, yes, 38%...community college.

 

Oh, and Trump always uses "Wharton", when that is the name of UPenn's graduate business school. Trump did not attend UPenn's grad school. That's just typical Trump fluff and hyperbole.

 

It's abundantly clear that without daddy---the guy who gave him a massive allowance, co-signed all his loans while he was failing until the arrival of Mark Burnett, and the $412,000,000 inheritance---Trump never would have been able to fool the goobers, get elected, and then grift off of his "public service".

I would not be surprised if Trump performed poorly on the SAT, but I can't find any source for this.

Crockett found this info?

Do you have a source for this?

I would be very interested to see this.

It something "appears" to be strong while other things "seem" safer, does that mean that it is strong and they are safer?

Is this supposed to be some lame "gotcha"? I used "appears" and "seems" intentionally because that's what will matter for the midterms. 

 

We all know that Biden had the strongest economy and the safest streets in the history of the world, and he lost because of all the stupid people. 

 

We also know that Trump had the worst economy and the most dangerous streets in the history of the world in his first term, and he won because of all the stupid people. 

 

Not everyone is smart enough to believe Trump is Hitler, that half the country are fascists, and that Charlie Kirk was the devil incarnate.
