What causes very active discussions like this to drop off the front page so quickly? I saw another newer post that was probably made because the poster didn't see this post, and a comment made in there linked to this discussion.
I believe this is the clip in question? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j3YdxNSzTk As much as I can tell, they're mad because Kimmel pointed out a couple of instances where Trump seemed to care more about his new ballroom at the WH than about the recent murder of Kirk. I've been reluctant to toss around the f-word, but it doesn't feel like an exaggeration to call this fascism. Kimmel said nothing that should have wa…
In that case, going by the FCC's complaint against Kimmel, I wonder if my pointing out that Trump furthermore skipped Kirk's vigil to go golfing, is similarly "too offensive to be protected by the first amendment"? https://people.com/donald-trump-misses-charlie-kirk-vigil-11...

Please don't put words I didn't say in between quotation marks as if I had said them.
People often use quotes like that to paraphrase.

(The quote they created is also nowhere close to what I was saying or what I believe, but I'm not interested in litigating that.)
I am largely neutral on this particular assassination, as I knew almost nothing about Mr. Kirk prior to his departure (just name recognition & basic political associations). But I do think, after decades of reflection, that comedians are correct when they point out that stereotypical humor shouldn't be off limits to any performer (of any background/color), but is... e.g. Owen Benjamin, Chappelle, Seinfeld .

Except all indications are the show was pulled because of pressure from the government . The FCC threatening “we can do this the easy way or the hard way” is not constitutional.

Please, don't contribute alt-facts to the conversation.
This isn't a drill. It's also not a real fire. Half truths are a grifter's greenbacks.

what did he do here? rate limited when i replied to you so my response below: >We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.” Where is the lie?

> There's nothing new about this, though Threats from the head of the FCC bandied about on a far-right podcast? Hello?
I don't know that the FCC is what is scaring anyone so much as the FTC/DOJ; Nexstar, the largest local affiliate operator in the country, is working on a huge merger, and pulled Kimmel independently. I'm sure they're all getting galactic-scale complaints about this. I get why this is all activating and like I guess I agree, it's obviously bad , but it's also really stupid. These are programs written for middle-aged s…
Who cares about Kimmel.
You think they will stop at television? They'll deplatform people on the alternate media next, YouTube, Twitch, Kick, etc. They've already started to look at Twitch this very week.
Will you even notice when your train has arrived at the Gulag?
