@VitalVegas Ha!!! We were literally in this room a few weeks ago! The key to sleeping? Just drink, gamble, and stay up until the band finishes. Problem solved.
I have officially watched #HeatedRivalry 4 times. And Iโm not done. Iโm consumed. The ability of every single actor to make you feel exactly what they are feeling in the momentโฆit just pulls you in. Truly one of the best pieces of television Iโve ever seen.
Iโve said it but Iโm going to continue saying it, for documentation sake.
Posts from the President and White House like this are a shame for the office of the presidency โ no matter who holds it.
Depicting a sitting president dropping waste on citizens crosses every line of decency, dignity, and respect for the institution.
Critique is part of free speech.
But turning the office itself into a mockery cheapens the country and devalues our collective integrity.
Letโs make sure everyone understands the facts with Kimmel.
As the right is trying to paint this as โat-willโ termination.
-Nextar the parent company of Kimmelโs show is seeking FCC approval for a merger.
-Kimmel made comments about Trump on Monday night (months after Trump openly said he wanted to get Kimmel fired next)
-Reporting is that Trump had the FCC lean on Nextar over these comments.
-Apparently they expressly used the line โwe can do this the easy way, or the hard wayโ
-Multiple executives at the network have on background said they โhad no issue with Kimmelโs statements but the Trump threat loomedโ referring to the merger.
This was *NOT* a network dissatisfied with Kimmel.
This was *NOT* a network embarrassed or horrified by what Kimmel said.
This was *NOT* a network that thought he was unfunny, or underperforming.
This was *NOT* a company freely choosing to fire an employee.
This was expressly the federal government weaponizing federal departments, in retribution for someone being critical of the President.
This is LITERALLY what the 1st Amendment exists for.
It does not protect you from private actions by private entities.
It protects you from actions by the government to censor your speech.
Whether brazen and direct, or through coercion and threat.
This is not about if Kimmel was offensive or not.
This is about speech.
Some real ones right here.
