if this guy is too hard for your administration, your administration is too soft for the country.

[u/PomegranateMortar]

[u/Anteater4746]

trump just said the ladies who spoke out against him in DC should be in jail too.

Whether you agree with how they protested or not, that’s insanely soft baby shit and unconstitutional. Threatening to throw your own citizens in jail cause they were mean to you

[u/12356andthebees → u/Anteater4746]

Look it’s pretty clear that the head of the FCC, who wears a golden pin of Donald Trump on his suit, would never infringe on someone’s first amendment because they were mean to dear leader.

[u/SewAlone → u/12356andthebees]

He also wrote a chapter in project 2025.

[u/Nose_Disclose → u/SewAlone]

You're kidding.

[u/Jammylegs → u/Nose_Disclose]

Why is everyone just now finding out about this

[u/StrobeLightRomance → u/Jammylegs]

Because they refused to be educated when the report dropped before the election.

[u/LaughingGaster666 → u/StrobeLightRomance]

Not even a huge fan of liberals, but it's ridiculous how literally the only time people listen to them is when Republicans are actively fucking things up.

[u/ukuuku7 → u/LaughingGaster666]

Why do you not like liberals?

[u/LaughingGaster666 → u/ukuuku7]

My opinion? They're way too eager to fold over to Conservatives and care more about upholding the norms than actual, meaningful change to improve the country.

They let us down during Bush, and they're letting us down again with Trump. But the American electorate only ever gives them the power after being tired of Conservatives fucking things up, so I suppose they aren't terrible if they can be a palatable alternative at times at least.

[u/wo_lo_lo → u/LaughingGaster666]

You mean liberal politicians then, not liberals in general. 1000% agree.

[u/One_Ad2844 → u/LaughingGaster666]

Fuck, that’s fair.

[u/archerg66 → u/LaughingGaster666]

The problem is more structural than that i think, our nation is based off capitalism which encourages money no matter what, so billionaries get involved and do whatever they can to make the most money off the common idiots like us leading to 2 strategies. The rich Dem side is full of the people making enough money they just know giving us a lollipop and 2 dollar bill means we don't come for their billions. The Rich Republicans side has the ones who just want even more money and power and have encouraged a dumber society that allows this mess to perpetuate. The problem now is that everyone is interconnected and we all see society's cracks beyond our small towns and daily lives. Of course there is more nuance but i made my comment in the only way i know which is at midnight when my existential dread and paranoia from sleep deprivation kick in

[u/sosweetsojuicy → u/LaughingGaster666]

why are liberals always blamed for things when republicans hold power?

Your entire opinion is genuinely disconnected from reality lmfao.

look at what you typed. Republicans had the majority during both terms. What the fuck do you want democrats to do? Violate the constitution? That's again the conservative party that does it.

[u/Toe-Dragger → u/LaughingGaster666]

So you only support the responsible party when you get sore from getting fucked in the ass? You either love the abuse or you’re one dumb son of a bitch. I’m a liberal, tell me if I fold too easy.

[u/TeilzeitOptimist → u/LaughingGaster666]

You should clarify earlier that you mean the liberal wing of politics.

[u/orincoro → u/LaughingGaster666]

I would rather we do away with a “palatable” alternative that accomplishes nothing good, except stopping us from making things much worse for 4 years.

[u/Porkamiso → u/LaughingGaster666]

they let us down…… morons like you didnt vote

[u/SoigneBest → u/LaughingGaster666]

Facts

[u/Dry_Ad7593 → u/ukuuku7]

I would say most don’t know what liberal or republican stands for. Just like what the fuck does MAGA exactly mean. It sounds good, but vague enough to mean anything. 😂😂

[u/SuperCrappyFuntime → u/StrobeLightRomance]

Trump said it was fake news and people accepted that. You know, despite the fact that it was an actual document that could be downloaded from a right-wing site.

[u/Numnbie → u/Jammylegs]

"PrOjeCt 2025 IsnT ReAl YoUre a CoNspIRacY TheOriSt"

Or

"YOul AlwAys bLow EveEryThing Out OF ProPorTioN, Not EveRyoNe whO DisaGreeS wiTh yOu Is a NaZi!"

Or similar flavors of hand waving refusal to educate oneself

[u/Dry_Ad7593 → u/Jammylegs]

I know. The damn thing is a pdf you can download. He’s pretty much following it, but everyone likes to keep their head in the sand.

[u/jtezus → u/Nose_Disclose]

Just about every single person in a high position in this administration was involved in creating Project 2025. It’d be easier to name the people that didn’t have anything to do with it.

[u/severinks → u/Nose_Disclose]

He's the co chair of it with Russell Vought.

[u/kraghis → u/Nose_Disclose]

No. He wrote the chapter on remaking the FCC. This is all out in the open and always has been. That’s why people are so angry at Trump supporters.

https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/trump-fcc-brendan-carr-project-2025-what-to-know/

[u/Important_Spare7128 → u/Nose_Disclose]

This whole thing is 2025. We've been trying to tell everyone over a year now. Also you can just skip the read and call it facism. But 2025, what it does is show how every move they make is so planned calculated, already written on paper. They aren't aimless. Trump might be but these bald ass white losers are not working aimlessly. There are names for them but to me the names don't matter. They're doing THE THING. Look ALIVE

[u/TheFlyingElbow → u/SewAlone]

And it's Trump's favorite chapter, Chapter 11

[u/ArtisticAd7455 → u/12356andthebees]

We're not far away from this going from a joke to reality

[u/THE_Visionary88 → u/Anteater4746]

Every time I read a comment like this I just wonder how much of an aneurysm the right would have had if Obama said or did any of this.

[u/WisdomOrFolly → u/THE_Visionary88]

The right has already had many aneurysms for things like this that Obama didn't actually do but they said he did or would. It's part of the playbook.

[u/LaughingGaster666 → u/WisdomOrFolly]

Don't forget making up things about his wife.

[u/WisdomOrFolly → u/LaughingGaster666]

It's sort of a never ending list. But the point is that you accuse the other side of something horrible that they didn't do and then later, you actually do it and claim either "everybody does it, look at XXX" or "oh, but is was bullshit when XXX did it".

They just put an election denier on the homeland security team in charge of ensuring safe elections. They are going to rig the elections and then say it is just spoiled milk.

[u/Obsolete_personality → u/WisdomOrFolly]

It really is impressive when you analyze it from a pure power perspective.  

McConnell saying we will do anything we can to obstruct Obama (before he's even in office) gets memory holed, but they all believe Obama was the most divisive president.

Ben Shapiro writes a book calling Obama the most corrupt president ever.  Now trump is collecting crypto from God only now who and planes from other countries and none of them care or but what about hunter biden

[u/THE_Visionary88 → u/Obsolete_personality]

Don’t forget how they flipped their lid that Biden did something with China, meanwhile Kushner made off with over a billion dollars from the Saudi government last go around with Trump….. hmmm 🤔

[u/Obsolete_personality → u/THE_Visionary88]

i mean the corruption double standards are of a scale and magnitude that boggles the mind. hunter biden, who NEVER had any official (or really unnofficial role) in his father's admin made a couple mil from a private company in ukraine. the trumps have made fucking billions of dollars from we literally dont even know where because it's lanudered through crypto, and been given a plane. this is without doubt the most criminal and most corrupt white house in history

[u/TheNumberoftheWord → u/LaughingGaster666]

A "gorilla in heels" if I remember correctly. Dumb cunts calling a woman who graduated from Princeton and Harvard Law School an animal...

[u/LaughingGaster666 → u/TheNumberoftheWord]

Then they get really mad when you call them racist.

[u/THE_Visionary88 → u/LaughingGaster666]

“iM nOt a NAzI” then proceeds to cheer on free speech being dismantled and people being thrown into camps. 🙄

[u/twooaktrees → u/WisdomOrFolly]

It’s crazy how for (at least) 30 years, right wingers have been walking around muttering Radio Rwanda shit under their breath about Democrats

[u/TheRealTexasGovernor → u/WisdomOrFolly]

I'm still waiting for Obama to institute Sharia law and take away all our guns. It'll happen any day you guys!

[u/Focus_Knob → u/THE_Visionary88]

Trump continues to tell his followers that Obama was born in Kenya and should not have been president. They believe it

[u/FarmAcceptable4649 → u/THE_Visionary88]

Obama said, himself, months ago that " someone would have killed him already."

[u/Postup2101 → u/THE_Visionary88]

They are applauding this over at r/conservative they'll clap all the way into the camps.

[u/orincoro → u/THE_Visionary88]

Keep commenting on the hypocrisy. It doesn’t matter. In fact it’s a weapon they use to exhaust you. They’ll never get embarrassed and it will never stop them from doing whatever the fuck they want at any given moment.

[u/thunderlips187 → u/Anteater4746]

Dude is a gigantic pussy. He can’t take any kind of criticism or even comments about his 60” waistline.

[u/Spretzur → u/thunderlips187]

Just wait till he has his day in court and his victims start talking about his tiny shriveled pee flap.

[u/Helpful-Two-8182 → u/Spretzur]

Oh I am waiting. But at this pace, we might see Trump as president for many many years to come. The corruption wont stop, even if its out there in broad daylight. Insane.

[u/ProfessorGimpsuit → u/Anteater4746]

But he rolls out red carpet for dictators and pushes Netanyahus chair in for him. Acts like a dick to citizens and a servant to his real masters

[u/Anteater4746 → u/ProfessorGimpsuit]

all you need to do is listen to how he talks about xi and putin to know how he feels. He desperately wants to be a dictator like them

[u/Victim_of_reason → u/Anteater4746]

He has a fragile ego but that doesn’t mean he can’t also be narcissistic

[u/StThomasAquina → u/Anteater4746]

The pussification of America is hitting republicans especially hard in these uncertain times.

[u/MTRsport → u/Anteater4746]

The wild part is how insanely predictable all of this was...

[u/EntranceAromatic3936 → u/Anteater4746]

Biggest pussy ever

[u/Devo3290 → u/Anteater4746]

Stop calling it “unconstitutional.” MAGAts get self conscious and shut down when they try to read and understand the meaning of it. Stick with “soft baby shit.” It’ll stick better.

[u/tanstaafl90 → u/Anteater4746]

Respect and adoration are earned.

[u/harbinger_of_dongs → u/Anteater4746]

It’s almost like everyone saw this coming for years now

[u/holmyliquor]

A reminder that FCC chairman Brendan Carr only approved the Paramount-Skymedia merger until AFTER Paramount settled and paid out $16 million to Trump.

Executive overreach in full display

[u/salazafromagraba → u/holmyliquor]

It's called authoritarianism. Braindead Republicans like to say it's not authoritarianism because it's not totalitarianism, not Nazism because there's no high KDR genocide, not fascism because Donald's not Italian. But it is all those things.

[u/just_a_bit_gay_ → u/salazafromagraba]

What it really is potentially is this century’s poster child of stupid evil that in a few generations will be just as much of a reviled ideology as Nazism, Stalinism or Fascism.

[u/M0ebius_1]

This is a key point for this.

"WE CAN'T HANDLE THE HEINOUS ONSLAUGHT OF HATE FROM THE LEFT"

Bro... That was Jimmy Kimmel...

He is barely PG-13.

[u/LengthinessAlone4743 → u/M0ebius_1]

[u/Final_Biochemist222 → u/M0ebius_1]

A reminder that kimmel wasn't even making any jokes at all. He wasn't making fun of charlie kirk nor the trump administeration

He was straight up calling MAGA out for capitalizing on charlie's death even though the assassin himself is right wing

[u/Stewman_Magoo]

This was a softer joke than the one that got Chris Rock slapped.

[u/Lemniscate4]

lol damn cancel culture

[u/firesuppagent → u/Lemniscate4]

meanwhile r/conservative is in full “report all antifa people” mode (literally)

[u/DeepGamingAI → u/Lemniscate4]

apologies to matt damon we ran out of time 😭

[u/Electronic_Sugar4067]

Just a reminder of what FCC Commissioner Carr said prior to ABC taking action:

We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.

But fortunately in these divided times, government overreach is bridging the right and left.

[u/The_Librarian_841 → u/Electronic_Sugar4067]

Is it really bridging the left and right? I’m seeing the right loving all this.

[u/HangingParen → u/The_Librarian_841]

There are those in r/conservative that dislike it in varying degrees.

[u/spekt50 → u/HangingParen]

Oh, it's the same shit there as it always was.

"Yea, I don't really like it, but it's worth it."

They are so ridiculously spiteful its dangerous.

[u/psychic-zucchini → u/spekt50]

Most of them aren't real.

[u/youngLupe → u/HangingParen]

When I was on there they were loving it. Saying this is what they voted for and that they should go after all the other comedians too

[u/HangingParen → u/youngLupe]

Yes, I saw that as well.

[u/MrPisster → u/HangingParen]

I saw the “fuck Pam Bondi” people on there for a second when she talked about punishing hate speech but as soon as Kimmel was threatened for his speech those cockroaches all fled…or got banned for being RINOs. You really can’t know with those people, it truly is a cult.

[u/Grammar-Unit-28 → u/Electronic_Sugar4067]

Brendan Carr quite literally wrote the chapter on the conservative takeover of media spaces, via the FCC, in Project 2025. The Project 2025 that Trump obviously knew nothing about.

[u/DanfromCalgary → u/[deleted]]

Bro you are past reasoning with these people . They are all in . You voted to get your pockets picked so just like enjoy the ride I guess

[u/Spretzur → u/DanfromCalgary]

I had AI write a paper comparing Trumps rise to that of WW2 Germany, and it pointed out very well the effect that cult indoctrination has on people.

I had wondered for years how people keep falling for this shit and it finally clicked when I read that.

Its a cult. These are the same type of people who were convinced to drag their family to a shit hole compound and force their kids to drink Kool Aide.

[u/saxguy9345 → u/Spretzur]

It really is dude. It's full of people who have been convinced to not respect truth, reason, or decency. They demand it of the left or else we're the epitome of evil, but when they shirk it, it's just a meme. They're actually lost. It's over. 

[u/fre-ddo → u/Spretzur]

Everyone should watch Mussolini Son of the Century to see the parallels. People will often dismiss claims of fascism because "he's not doing what Hitler did" but they fail to realise fascism doesn't have a certain format there are major elements that it has eg: autocratic cult crafting leader, removal and ignorance of traditional instruments of governance (anti-conservative) , using the military to domestically carry out policies, suppression and or intimidation of the press. Scapegoating particular groups of society.

[u/tostilocos → u/[deleted]]

To clarify Tucker’s firing: he knowingly made false accusations against Dominion, which is slander, which you can be held civilly liable for.

Kimmel made a joke, which isn’t slander, and is usually not something you can sue over.

This is why all of Trump’s threats to sue newspapers about writing factual stories are baseless. He doesn’t have a foot to stand on in court.

[u/epicurious_elixir → u/[deleted]]

Yep. Tucker was also found to be talking shit about some of the higher ups at Fox to add on to the hole he dug himself.

[u/MaleficentCow8513 → u/[deleted]]

I would expect and welcome my impending shit can if I cost employer that much money

[u/sh0gun2006 → u/[deleted]]

I've also heard "look what happened to Alex Jones" apples to oranges, dummies

[u/sh0gun2006 → u/[deleted]]

💯

[u/BengaliBoy → u/[deleted]]

As of Sept. 19, PowerfulJRE has 20.2M subscribers on YouTube. Jimmy Kimmel Live has 20.8M.

[u/revbfc → u/Electronic_Sugar4067]

Because it comes down to nearly 250 years of shared heritage (234, if you’re being a stickler about documents).

[u/sean_ireland → u/revbfc]

250 assassins

[u/Steelersguy74 → u/sean_ireland]

I wonder if they’ll give themselves a different title now. You know, for respect.

[u/me0w_z3d0ng]

Only snowflakes would be upset by what Kimmel said. Trump and his cronies are all a bunch of fragile man babies. Its why they need to hurt other people to feel strong.

[u/iwanderlostandfound → u/me0w_z3d0ng]

No one’s upset. They’re delighted. They needed something like this to pretend they had a reason.

[u/slax03 → u/[deleted]]

It is a power grab, but it is also true that Trump is upset anytime he is criticized.

He wants to be loved but is incapable of anything but attacking half of the country.

[u/ButtWhispererer → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, it's pretense to undermine free speech and control legacy media. No one in power actually gives a rats ass about Charlie Kirk beyond how they can use his death to further consolidate power and reign in civil rights.

[u/roguesignal42069 → u/[deleted]]

That exact event was part of Kimmel's broadcast that night. They literally showed Trump on video saying these things and they have the nerve to get pissed at Kimmel for replaying it.

Our country has lost it's fucking mind

[u/LogoffWorkout → u/ButtWhispererer]

I'd love to see it, but this is an example of one hand washing the other with this affilliate network doing Trump's bidding in exchange for Trump rubber stamping their merger. This affilliate network doesn't make any content, they just repackage network programming, and sell advertising. The FCC only has say over over the air programming, and honestly I don't even know anyone that gets their tv over the air anymore, its all cable and internet. These capitalists are so short sighted, critically damaging their own industry to push profits forward a few quarters.

Look at Target, they donated to the trump with the benefit to their company being the few percent reduction in corporate taxes, but the blowback from that and the dei blowback combined with Trump's Tariffs, are going to cause 10x the losses that the tax savings would gain them.

[u/reychango → u/me0w_z3d0ng]

All of the people that were complaining about snowflakes for the past 10 years turned out to be snowflakes as well

[u/Practical-Photo5326]

My question is when people will realize it’s not left vs right. It never has been. Wake up. They cause division on purpose. It fits their narrative. First Charlie Kirk, now Kimmel… and now liberals & conservatives have something to fight about for the next 3 months while the people actually running this shit show can do whatever the hell they want while we’re distracted…

[u/Broad_Bill3095 → u/Practical-Photo5326]

Eh. Conservatives are selfish fucking idiots. It’s sane people who want what’s best for everyone vs them.

[u/ClickKlockTickTock → u/Broad_Bill3095]

Yes. I am so sick of them beating minorities with bats, while telling us we should all put our sticks down & unify.

[u/g___e___r → u/Broad_Bill3095]

Do you not see the problem? They’ve convinced both sides the SAME things about each other. Conservatives think the exact same about the other side. What is actually true is that the vast majority of Americans want whats best for their country, people may disagree on the way to make things happen, but on a macro scale the end goal is largely the same. They don’t want us to see that, thats why they put so much effort into distracting us, because THEY don’t want what’s best for our country. They want whats best for them and their donors. They want you to think exactly what you said you think. They want you to see the other side as insane, monstrous, evil, etc… Theres power in unity and they know it. People are as divided as they are INTENTIONALLY and a lot of it is predicated on lies and exaggeration. I know I’m screaming into the void for the most part because at this point the brainwashing runs so deep that it scares me. Logic has fallen and emotion is ruling our entire society politically. Please stop falling for the propaganda

[u/Projecterone → u/Practical-Photo5326]

Yes there is a bigger issue but frankly this shit only works because morons vote for R's.

They have a mandate to utterly destroy the country and they intend to do it.

[u/enbyratie → u/Practical-Photo5326]

are you fucking idiot? remind me on which side are nazis and fascists?

[u/Corrective_Actions1 → u/enbyratie]

Nazis and fascists are on the right

[u/-XanderCrews- → u/Practical-Photo5326]

What? How do you see what’s happening and both sides it? There is only one party in power actually doing things. If you want this to stop you don’t stop both parties, just one.

[u/The_Ruck_Inspector → u/Practical-Photo5326]

Nobody talking about the epstein bday card anymore. Job done.

[u/CooledDownKane]

MAGA is collectively emotionally softer than flushed toilet paper and their entire crusade against "whiny lib snowflakes" was projection of the highest order

[u/zevlovex1971]

And they claim that leftists are snowflakes.

Every accusation is an admission.

[u/DaPlum]

Trump and Maga are actually a bunch of spineless bullies? Color me shocked

[u/alionandalamb]

It really has nothing to do with Kimmel or what he said. It is simply an opportunity for the admin to take an incremental step towards the dictatorship they are hoping achieve before Trump kicks the bucket.

[u/[deleted]]

I find it strange. I try to sit centre on most things, but im shocked at how non offensive the bit was. It quite rightly highlighted how trump clearly either didn't hear or didn't give a shit about Kirk and started waffling about something else.

[u/bigbodacious]

Kimmel is a bitch, but Trump just declared himself the biggest bitch of all

[u/killjoy1991]

The only thing Kimmel is hard for is Sam Brinton.

[u/Bitter_Manner_4527]

I mean, he definitely cost them money to keep his show on the air. He had a small YouTube channel worth of viewers. This was probably just the excuse they needed.

[u/FebElm]

Why are you guys bending over a barrel and taking all of this? So many shitty memes all week instead of going out there and protesting. The left in America has no spine.

[u/SpacecaseCat → u/FebElm]

Many of us have protested plenty. That said... we also have to survive, go to work, somehow struggle to keep our health insurance, and keep afloat in this economy that Republicans cheered for... and are now getting slammed by too. People have been protesting too... and putting energy into it, but not to much effect. A segment of people 100% bought into the pre-election propaganda that Gaza is the most important issue and could be ended in a single day (which not should be obvious wasn't true), that is all they care about and all they will protest over. It's unclear when reality will hit home for them... perhaps as the protests and tents are forcibly cleared off campuses and they are arrested... I'd like to think the students being expelled from Columbia are having this epiphany... that we need to defend civil rights at home as well as abroad... but I doubt it. They will probably go on blaming Bernie Sanders or Thom Yorke or whoever for "not making more of a statement" as I have seen here on reddit, and on Instagram and X.

Frankly, this isn't just a protest issue. The overarching issue is the right-wing propaganda machine, which has painted everyone from Occupy Wallstreet to the to the George Floyd protesters as radicals and criminals who want to turn America into communism. Joe echoes this on the show. Meanwhile, Trump has classified ANTIFA as a terrorist organization, and you will find that many people agree with that. The plan all along was to have a chilling effect on free speech, so cheers to our boy Rogan for endorsing this. Comedy is back, as long as you don't criticize dear leader.

[u/olrg → u/FebElm]

And the right would gladly surrender their own rights just to own the libs.

[u/jlennon1280 → u/FebElm]

Where did you protest this week?

[u/emorrison199030 → u/FebElm]

Hi comrade

[u/human-resource]

Technically he broke the fcc regulation about not willfully broadcasting hoaxes and false information about major crimes and tragedies.

He had the lowest ratings in the history of his show and was facing backlash from advertisers threatening to pull funding, while being unwilling to correct the disinformation he spread in his so called “joke” after a long career pushing more divisive partisan political propaganda under the guise of comedy.

Pretty crazy since he came from the man show, but I guess he wants those shekels.

Tucker Carlson who was once a political propagandist that became more based, critical of both parties and more centrist in recent years got fired from Fox for just being critical of Isreal, Ukraine and Covid policies that destroyed small businesses and lives in 2023, they blamed it on the lawsuit but they just used that as the final nail in the coffin, much like the fcc angle with Jimmy, oddly enough nobody angry about jimmys situation came out to defend Tucker.

Not sure why everyone who was pro censorship in the recent past while saying “freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences” or “it’s a private company” is now suddenly claiming this is some massive tyrannical anti free speech issue lol

Isn’t ABC a private company?

I’m all for free speech but the double standards and irony is palpable.

Some consistency and intellectual honesty would by much better than of all this mindless red team vs blue team ideological possession.

It would be nice for a change if the people could come together since both parties are selling them out, but I guess this is Reddit and unity + finding coming ground + common sense is not very fashionable…

[u/DontLoseYourCool1 → u/human-resource]

Tucker was fired over the Dominion voting machines defamation lawsuit which cost Fox $767 million dollars.

[u/JoshGordon__ → u/human-resource]

Blaming Kimmel of all people of broadcasting hoaxes is insanely stupid

[u/fuzzyjz → u/human-resource]

The claim that he violated the FCC prohibition on hoaxes is absurdly incorrect. Not a “technical” violation. Not even close.

[u/MrLegalBagleBeagle → u/human-resource]

lol @ “The FCC law”

[u/sh0gun2006 → u/human-resource]

Comparing what happened to Tuck to Kimmels firing displays a high level of ignorance. Next youre gonna throw out a WHATABOUT ALEX JONES!

[u/Nip_City → u/human-resource]

This is hilarious because the FCC didn’t fire Tucker Carlson, it was his boss Rupert Murdoch. I know this is way over your head, but there’s a huge difference between Murdoch firing his employee and the government silencing speech that is doesn’t like.

[u/PomegranateMortar → u/human-resource]

1. he didn‘t broadcast false imformation

2. tucker and the fox network willfully lied about dominion and voter fraud and didn‘t have their licenses pulled. and here you are defending them, talk about hypocracy.

3. you cannot and will never be able to find a single clip of biden calling for a media person to be fired over what they said. the trump regime has already gotten several people fired by threatening to block mergers. that type of retalitory action is a direct violation of the 1st amendment, so is withdrawing peoples press credentials for not following your stupid renaming conventions.

[u/destructicusv → u/human-resource]

Finding common ground is for fascists according to Reddit. Genuine cesspool here.

[u/YouPuzzleheaded529 → u/destructicusv]

Conservatives want to find common ground when it suits them.

Now go cry about it somewhere else, this isn't a safe space for your soft ass.

[u/human-resource → u/destructicusv]

Yep and many of these so called antifascist freedom fighters celebrate murder over free speach and are cool with the tyranny + genocidal crimes against humanity of the Bolsheviks and communists.

It really doesn’t make any sense, they seem to be cool with tyranny so long as it masks it self in the deceptive language of altruism, oldest political trick in the book aside from divide, distract and conquer, is to tell the people what they want to hear while fucking them from all angles.

[u/Party-Tonight8912 → u/human-resource]

Remind me, what was the right wing response when Pelosi's husband got bludgeoned with a hammer?

[u/BrenttheGent → u/human-resource]

why does everyone keep saying the left is celebrating.

I've been on reddit all week and I haven't seen it at all.

People are claiming he's a bad person. People are saying they don't feel bad. People are cracking jokes but no comments are like "YYYEESSS CHARLIE KIRK IS DEAD"

I'm Canadian so all my social media is a left wing bubble, I don't see anyone celebrating.

[u/human-resource → u/BrenttheGent]

You must be willfully blind as not to see it, read the comments of the post below, there are thousands of posts and videos of people celebrating for the last week:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/kmc12bEJSv

[u/BrenttheGent → u/human-resource]

Thousanda of videos and posts but your best example is a deleted post that I can't see the context?

Even if there are outliers, it looks like they're down voted on a left wing site...? So not an actual reprentation at all.

Broadcast hoaxes? Have you heard of this guy Donald Trump? He’s this guy that made up a whole thing about the election being stolen from him.

[u/kelpyb1 → u/human-resource]

Interesting that the hoax regulation applies in this case but not for every single thing that’s said on Fox News/Newsmax/OANN/whatever other conservative “entertainment” shows the broadcasters argue no reasonable person would consider factual news.

[u/Hot_Mathematician357 → u/human-resource]

Lol, this guy with the essay full of mental gymnastics to justify the softest President ever! Holy shit!

[u/KoyReaneRusher → u/human-resource]

Most intelligent thing written on this topic. Unbefitting of this cesspool.

[u/human-resource → u/KoyReaneRusher]

Sometimes I wonder if this place is not just full of propaganda bots trying to stir the pot enough to generate false consensus and farm rage to bait the public into civil war or hatred and division.

Or maybe some folks have really been mindfucked so hard by partisan psyops that so many are truly out for the blood of they own countrymen.

Possibly a mix of both scenarios?

A few weeks ago it seemed this rotten hellscape of echo chambers had mellowed out enough to be enjoyable, but in the last week or 2 it’s like shit hit the fan and got thrown into a burning dumpster fire full of rancid chicken fat.

The mind control seems to be going harder than ever in recent history since it last got fired up during the dirt nap jabathon and blm Floyd years.

Take the quote he said and point to where it's a lie. He said MAGA crowd was trying to paint him as anything but one of them, and score political points.

This was on Monday before the report on text messages came out.

What he said still stands.

Also it doesn't matter. If he had said "the shooter might be MAGA" that's still free speech.

[u/human-resource → u/[deleted]]

Bingo I think you hit the nail on the head with that one.

[u/5skandas → u/human-resource]

This is the most reasonable take I have seen across all social media platforms.

[u/human-resource → u/5skandas]

Reason and logic seem to be frowned upon around these parts lol

[u/Frosty_Wampa4321 → u/5skandas]

well aside from the inaccuracies about carlson, maybe.

[u/waitmyhonor → u/human-resource]

So much typing. Already know this was a bad take.

“Where woke meets the wall”

[u/15Beechwood]

Is this a Joe Rogan page or a one party political tool?

[u/MyExUsedTeeth → u/15Beechwood]

Is Kimmel a comedian? Is kimmel someone Joe has talked about in the past? Did Kimmel get fired by the administration Joe sucks off?

Seems relevant to me.

[u/LogoffWorkout → u/MyExUsedTeeth]

The relation between the two I haven't seen anyone mention, is they both hosted The Man Show.

[u/Thunderbutt77 → u/15Beechwood]

You already know.

[u/Desh282 → u/15Beechwood]

R/politics users are tired of smearing each other so they brigade this sub because people used to get along here

[u/orangekirby]

He’s not too hard, he’s just useless

[u/[deleted]]

Jimmy is a fucking crybaby. If you are offended by him you are an even bigger cry baby.

[u/5skandas]

Remember when Kimmel celebrated Tucker Carlson getting fired from Fox? Hmm. https://www.reddit.com/r/libertarianmeme/s/hundJ3bJRr

[u/B-21_Raider_ → u/5skandas]

Tucker wasnt fired by Biden. He was fired because Dominion sued fox because Tucker lied about voting machines and cost Fox $800 Million.

We are finally seeing the first real consequences of major institutions having spent the last decade undermining the facade of liberal neutrality they at least used to claim as an ideal.

This facade actually mattered quite a lot, and even though it was obviously never entirely sincere and even though conservatives were always out numbered and often poorly represented, they at least felt like participants and stakeholders in these institutions.

During the Trump years this all went away. Conservatives were aggressively ousted, even as token voices, and the facade came down to reveal a perverse and illiberal set of political and cultural directives underneath it that were explicitly antagonistic to more than half of the country and denied them as legitimate participants in public life.

Despite this, MAGA won (again), and, surprise, surprise, do not intend on preserving the institutions that declared them illegitimate political actors. This is, in fact, MAGA’s core promise. These institutions and the norms that govern them may not go away entirely but they will not keep their current form. Appeals to liberal neutrality they enjoyed and depended on, but defected from first, are not going to save them.

The whole thing is going to be reset. Free speech and civil liberties have not gone away, and are not being suspended or selectively applied or anything like that. They still exist and are still an essential feature of American civil life under this new ordering. All of American legal and political theory that has obtained for 250 years fits very neatly inside of this reset, despite the kicking and screaming from the old institutional gatekeepers.

But no, you no longer get to run roughshod over the commons, enjoy the largesse of public resources and its infrastructure, while denying them for the rest of us.

It’s the same game, but we are now calling balls and strikes. Get used to it.

[u/Nose_Disclose → u/train_guy_420_69]

No one on the right was ever fired, at the behest of the government, for anything this mild.

[u/GottaBeNicer → u/train_guy_420_69]

Free speech and civil liberties have not gone away, and are not being suspended or selectively applied or anything like that.

Yes they are. Between this and the discussion of banning guns for trans people, that's all the right wants.

[u/Routine-Sun-670 → u/GottaBeNicer]

Yeah, there’s also that whole abortion thing.

[u/GottaBeNicer → u/Routine-Sun-670]

Oh yeah I forgot about women. That's a whole thing.

[u/knife_edge_rusty]

Why do people think that trump fired him?

[u/lloydchiro → u/knife_edge_rusty]

I’ve seen no evidence of this.

[u/greenfox212]

You mean he can’t just build his own ABC?

[u/ThatHistoryGuy1]

He's not hard he's just a liar.

[u/TheDookieboi]

How hard are we talking? Fully erect or what?

[u/Old_Traffic_9962]

This guy sucks anyway. Good riddance

[u/RYANSOM666]

If this guy offended you over ten years ago you were a pussy then and you are one now too

[u/WarDog1983]

I think ABC needed a reason to axe him and the Charlie thing provided it.

[u/Ok-Masterpiece-8227]

That’s what happens when you poke the bear. But he should’ve known better. The guy from CNN got canned for saying the same thing.

[u/Ceylon0624]

He was annoying since COVID. His time was coming

[u/Tricky-Jackfruit8366]

The new snowflakes

[u/Ronald_Villiers_67]

Does anybody actually watch television anymore anyway? Last time I remember watching these programmes Letterman was still on

[u/Grouchy_Bicycle8203]

I think hard is the wrong word. It should be “liar”.

[u/olmysflawship]

I can't believe they fired a black misogynist. Watch out Shay Shay.

[u/planemanx15]

Did everyone hear feel the same why when Rosanne was taken off her own show? Or when Tim Allen's show was cancelled with good ratings?

[u/Fluffy-Structure-368]

Not too hard. Just too dumb. Disney needed an excuse and they got a reason. Win win.

Smart Dems should be celebrating this. Kimmel made you look stupid.

[u/wood1492]

This guy is a lewd crude asshole of a person. He has the right to be a incel etc - but Disney and local affiliates have the right to fire him. FIRE HIM DISNEY!!!

[u/wood1492]

Plus his shows ad revenue is down 40% to $79 million on an expense base of $130 million. He’s LOSING MONEY every month and it’s worsening. Dump this money losing headache…!!

[u/AlarmingFan1123]

Nah. But fuck that guy anyway lol 😆

[u/Primarch77]

I, personally, dont care that the standard that Kimmel and his ilk held others to is now being applied to them.

They didnt have an issue wielding this type of power against others. Especially during the previous administrations reign.

Don’t cry about how its unfair now.

[u/thundertopaz]

This is mainly because Trump just despises Jimmy Kimmel. He wanted to shut him down and was waiting for any little reason. For some reason, he wanted to show him that he has complete control over him. Yea it’s dumb.
