Ehhhhhhhhh.... Not so fast. When you come down on the same side of every issue, you're on the team. But I have openings on the "both sides can fock themselves" team if you're interested. I'm going to need you to sh¡t on the wokies some, too, though.

If I was a wokie, I'd say the reason there hasn't been riots over Kirk as there were for George Floyd is that: The riots were the result of decades of perceived systemic oppression. Kirk supporters may have only been perceived to be oppressed in the last what? 5 years? The riots were a byproduct of protests against a system of power that wasn't represented by them. If Kirk supporters were to protest, who would they be protesting against? The leftist/anti-fascist folks don't have systemic power so rioting against system abuse would be rioting against themselves. On the MAGA side, I'd say the riots didn't happen because the right hasn't weaponized riots for political gain, yet, and don't have the infrastructure in place to organize the protests to act as a powder keg

Very much so. And we're cheering it on like the dumb focks we are.

This is pretty nutso. All the people around the world that would see the American way of life destroyed. All it takes is social media pitting us against each other and we take turns chipping away at freedom of speech out of spite. Do you guys understand that if folks aren't allowed to have dissenting opinions, the government has complete control over narratives and what the mob thinks?

The left had the FBI curating social media to shape narratives. It's a huge reason musk bought twitter. The right saw the power in influencing gullible lemmings, and how easy it is, and just started doing it better. But it was wrong then, and it is wrong now. And I spoke up then as well. But don't worry, your team will get their chance too and the death of free speech will be met with the sound of cheers by whichever team is doing it at the time. We suck.

I said peep about all of it, and this is a pyrrhic victory. The wokies will be back in power soon enough, and they'll retaliate, and you guys will all be crying. And it won't be whataboutism. Trump is setting precedent here.

He'll be back. He's probably sucking his way back as we speak.

That would make more sense. Kimmel is like gutterboy. He was cool being racist. He was told to be woke, so that's what he did, and now he'll lick whatever boots he has to to keep his job.

No. Are you?

He rode pretty hard for that other late night guy that got cancelled. Steve carrell or something like that.

ABC has every right to cancel him over what he said if they so choose. What I don't like is the FCC applying pressure to get him cancelled over BS.

Don't help, bro.

There goes every single politician. Maybe not a bad idea.

I assumed the ellipses were them talking about their favorite lube or something less relevant to the case.

My 15 minutes of research leads me to believe the FCC chairman, Brenden Carr, made some comments threatening to take action if the broadcasters didn't. He even suggested affiliates like Nextstar should preempt the programming. Seems like they didn't want any of that smoke from the FCC. I guess Kimmel wasn't worth the trouble. Then I thought to myself, "is this trump weaponizing the FCC against people he doesn't like?" Well Trump did appoint Carr. But Biden did also. Carr is a former lawyer and can probably handle himself against outside influence, but this seems draconian as fock.
