    whats crazy is that he didnt say anything offensive about kirk at all. he was mocking trump from trump being insensitive when asked about how he is feeling after kirks murder. trump was asked how he is doing and he actually said "im doing very good" then immediately started talking about the construction going on in the rose garden. it just showed how he doesnt really give a damn about kirk.

    You guys on the right are like frogs slowly getting cooked without knowing it worse yet, you cheer it on. The sad part is the rest of us are boiling with you but we are screaming while you guys laugh as we all are getting cooked together as Trump is slowly turning up the heat.

    The President of the United States is routinely ignored. Sept 2025.

    Nd go look in the censorship thread that he created where he claimed Biden flagging Twitter posts was "weaponization of the government" and it censored Americans drastically. The FCC and the POTUS demanding and threatening corporations with fines and blockage of mergers is no biggie though.

    None of these right wingers have any core beliefs in anything. Its a religion of sane washing Trump. Its so utterly pathetic it makes me vomit

    OS did a 180.

    I just find the statement pretty amazing.

    Censorship from the State is a big issue. A sitting POTUS being routinely ignored is a bigger issue.

    I thought everyone understood that the way people watch tv is different today than it was in the past. People don’t watch live TV the way they used to. Especially young people. So, the statistics you show are not surprising at all. But, maybe it is to you. People now stream and record their TV. Again, I thought we all understood this.

    Doesn't this just shoot the whole "it was a business decision!" narrative to hell?

    Kimmel is so untalented that ABC cancelled him... therefore he's gonna get... a massive payday from Spotify?

    The head of the FCC told the network, "we can do this the easy way or hard way" hence the FCC/FTC will come down on you. Period

    You clowns can pretend this is some how business decision but the execs at Disney said they did it cuz cuz they were afraid of Trump.

    Trump voters really are the dumbest. They demand everyone become as dumb as they are

    The "it was a business decision" narrative should consider that not wanting a vengeful authoritarian government stepping on you is a bigger business decision than any other. The business world doesn’t stand much of a chance unless they stay in a pack. So far, very few are standing up, and some are even preemptively kowtowing.

    It really feels that way.

    Trump 1.0 just threatened people passively, either being reigned in by the few adults in the room, or denied by courts/legislature that wouldn't let him get away with it.

    Trump 2.0 surrounded himself entirely with yes men, destroyed all the guardrails and boundary setting institutions, and captured the courts/congress so now they won't stop him.

    I gotta say I wish Democrats understood power the way Republicans do.

    Then again, maybe I don't.
