    youre such an idiot. Disney fought DeSantis/Fl republicans and won.

    this is like fighting your hostile neighbor for trespassing after they removed someone elses dogshit off your lawn.

    America is ****ed and you’re already long past a democracy or even autocracy, this is very close to a dictatorship.

    the data is the point, Donnie. Not the ignorant commentary from the poster. Kimmel is not going to get a 150m spotify deal

    Just going on another rant...

    Democrats can't see the tail they are dragging on their own back, a bunch of wusses giving lectures instead of talking like normal people.

    Today's Republicans, along with a chunk of the public (Pew shows only 20% trust government anymore, down from 77% in the '60s), have basically given up on the American experiment - the first modern democracy with flaws but designed not to put all power in one person's hands. Between watching Citizens United flood politics with dark money and seeing CEO pay jump 1,322% while wages flatlined, people from different backgrounds all made the same bet: let one guy blow it all up and rebuild it his way. It's not much different from the CCP model, which has actually been eating our lunch economically.

    That gamble isn't paying off though. A lot of folks, especially younger ones who said "let's give it a try," are getting buyer's remorse seeing that the dude cares more about revenge than fixing anything. Watch his approval with under-35 voters and every group - diving.

    We're basically watching a 248-year experiment in self-governance try to survive social media and oligarchy. It's like hiring a demolition crew to renovate your kitchen - sure, change happens fast, but you might not have a house left.

    Is comedy legal again?

    Or is the FCC shutting down TV shows that make fun of the President?

    LMAO at these bootlicking halfwits, "Disney was just looking for a reason to cancel the show"...uh, Disney is a cold-blooded megacorporation. They can cancel the show for any reason whenever they want. Ratings suck? Cancel it. Cancel it five years ago. Whatever.

    This isn't Johnny Carson or some other national treasure--no one cares about Kimmel. They don't need some silver bullet of a reason to cancel the show. And what Kimmel said is hardly a silver bullet anyway--"Don't politicize assassinations" is boilerplate.

    The only idiot is you thinking people can see through your gaslighting bullshit. The person with no moral fiber and who doesn’t gives a **** about the constitution twists so much to defend Trump is hilarious.

    LOL - ok, fine. Saying this is the kind of stuff that causes it, is not a crime.

    Turning neighbor against neighbor and people into snitches, how very communist we are becomming.

    Now today 3 officers were killed and 2 wounded.....and who is to blame? 100% the morons who won't let us have reasonable gun laws.

    It makes you numb when you have voted for gun laws your whole life, KNOWING that this **** is a main reason for all these deaths, but people that have twisted the 2A into a lying **** sandwich must be happy with all these kids being shot in school or cops being shot because they refuse to act......

    This is 100% on them....and will continue to be, like the local terrified gun nut that is quoted above.

    Went ahead and cancelled my D+ / Hulu subscription, under reason for leaving I hit "Other" and entered "Bowing to Trump." It's not much but it's what I can do.

    You really dont see whats wrong with this? Do you really find nothing wrong with this administration? This is a violation of free speech and you know it. Its blatant.

    When trolls wake up and realize that their trolling has cost our democracy it will be too late.
