    Interesting principle: constitutional rights only matter when they change the outcome. By that logic, if someone was going to die anyway, it would be fine for the gov to pressure someone to "take them out".

    [Axios]Ted Cruz: MAGA "will regret" what it did to Jimmy Kimmel

    Bad enough that Ted Cruz is trying to distance himself from MAGA.

    Dave Chappelle as well.

    Liberals are finally getting a taste of what cancel culture feels like. Even though Jimmy Kimmel is spreading "disinformation" he should have the right to say what he wants. Event Tucker Carlson is in agreement here.

    The illusion of Trump’s strength is laughable to the rest of the world. They fear the US Military and Economic Power…not Trump. The world will wait out Trump and hope the American people, as a whole, come to their senses.

    The FCC under biden or obama did not threaten to cancel broadcasting licenses if they didn't fire people. You cultists dont understand the difference between the government vs activists.

    As an American who lives in Europe its so utterly hilarious how the MAGA folks think they worship some strong leader while the entire world laughs at Trump. India and china are talking for the first time in 7 years. The right wingers in EU all hate him

    Last year all these same cats calling for Kimmel's head were preaching how important free speech was and now they are all against it.

    yes, a total "make american humour great again" type of guy. i just watched his "crack" routine - made me wonder if people laughing were actually on crack. back in the day @tinman on here was funnier (although those days are long gone)

    Have anyone watched V for Vendetta. It starts with a comedy show host getting (literally) sacked in it, I believe.

    I haven't watched news for a few years and this is what I see: 1) American gov-t shutting down a comedy show for a political opinion. 2) American gov-t shutting down talent based (H1B) legal immigration - and history of Elon Musks and Manhattan Project folks be damned.

    The hell this America's new maga Greatness is about when our fundamental principles (freedom of speech & exceptionalism) are being so blatantly rejected by powers that be (POTUS is what - a 2nd generation immigrant?, FLOTUS is 1st generation?)

    & plz, "cancel culture" is about society's judgement & not BIll of Right - racist in a country made up of a lot of races, is going to be disliked just like a guy screaming "fire" in a movie theater.

    Let's say that Kimmel offended half the country, but at the same time I'm sure the guy who got killed said stuff that upset half the country too. Both are public figures. We don't fire public figures because they offend. Trump would be fired million times over - that's his favorite thing to do.

    Our country is going down the drain. What kind of legacy are the MAGA supporters looking to leave to our kids? Create a one party system, like in surveillance states that is China & Russia?

    Please, someone on the maga side, engage this - make it make sense for me!

    why do you mention CCP? why not mention some other autocratic country instead? & btw I hear chinese economy is not so hot these days. Does CCP have something to do with age of oligarchy & social media? I'm missing the connection.

    your wealth disparity argument makes little sense, because voters hired a guy who got rid of estate tax and lowered taxes for the rich (ie increased the disparity further), so you're saying, it seems, that Americans want their "land of the free" to become opposite since the only other way to get rid of (obvious) wealth disparity is to have an autocracy (Trump obviously wouldn't want to tax himself as has been shown in his first term.)

    Just say that republicans got hoodwinked by a car salesman and are desperately trying to make their lemon appear to be a limousine till it goes up in flames...

    Why are we putting up with this dipshit moron aka Baghdad Bob aka fake news aka asshole123? Everyone of his threads or posts should come with a disclaimer “I’m a liar and I’m also stupid but I love to post bullshiit in the D&D”.
