'Suck up to an authoritarian': David Letterman tears into ABC for suspending Jimmy Kimmel
#JimmyKimmelSuspension #BroadcastLicenses #ComedyPolitics #FCCThreat #TrumpAdministration
Jimmy Kimmel didn’t say anything offensive. He highlighted the fact that Trump is a disingenuous piece of shit who doesn’t give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. For Trump, it’s all about his ballroom and other costly non-accomplishments.
Why the fuck does Trump need a ballroom anyway? It’s not as if he’s got any balls. And there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that he’s going to be busting a move with those cankles.

Outrage over Charlie Kirk's death and the subsequent reaction to it from normal people (some of whom had no idea of who he was, some of whom got a rude awakening when the reality of who he was (as opposed to his carefully curated persona) became clear to them) seems like a weird hill for MAGA to die on.
Ah, but I see.

It's 2001, someone comes from the future to let you know that the guy from The Man Show, just got fired from his job as a popular late night talk show host, because that dumbass rich guy that was in Home Alone 2, and kept trying to run for President, actually became President TWICE, is mad that Man Show guy pointed out that Dumb Ass Rich Guy was using the death of one of their own as an excuse to do Nazi shit.

When the pigs roll up to kidnap people, getting in their way does make a difference. They took one guy, but they didn't get the others.
Waste their time, get in their way, slow them down, wear them out. Anything we do that takes up their time, energy, and very importantly RESOURCES does something. Slashing all 4 tires and making them drive away on flats? Yeah, that's a real nuisance.

Sen. Chris Murphy, concerning a possible government shutdown: "Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy. If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness."

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
