A quick point. If you had a friend that whined and complained and was always playing “victim” as much as Donald does, I’d be willing to bet you wouldn’t be his friend for long. Such a whiney belly aching baby.

Barry Sanders’ ratings in Madden were such a joke it allowed him to do crazy shit like this that ruined the realism of the game - hang on, being told this is actual NFL game tape.

Mark Kelly: “How many generations of Donald Trump’s family served in the military? Zero. For me, service to my country is in my blood. Donald Trump? He deferred the draft five times because he had bone spurs. Four generations of service earns me the right to speak. Five deferments earns nothing.”

Holy shit! Jack Smith confirms the TRAITOR planned, plotted, and carried out the coup against the United States of America by knowingly inciting the crowd to carry out his seditious pipe dream of remaining in power following his election loss to Biden. 😳�

Thank you for your service, Jack Smith.

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.

It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.

Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.

Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…

BREAKING: Hollywood superstars Tom Hanks, Florence Pugh, and Jennifer Aniston join with 400 other celebrities to sign a letter slamming ABC's fascist decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air.

And it gets even better...

"We the people must never accept government threats to our freedom of speech. Efforts by leaders to pressure artists, journalists, and companies with retaliation for their speech strike at the heart of what it means to live in a free country," the letter, posted to the American Civil Liberties Union's Instagram reads.

"Last week, Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after the government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for freedom of speech in our nation," it continues. "In an attempt to silence its critics, our government has resorted to threatening the livelihoods of journalists, talk show hosts, artists, creatives, and entertainers across the board. This runs counter to the values our nation was built upon, and our Constitution guarantees."

"We know this moment is bigger than us and our industry," it goes on. "Teachers, government employees, law firms, researchers, universities, students and so many more are also facing direct attacks on their freedom of expression.

"Regardless of our political affiliation, or whether we engage in politics or not, we all love our country. We also share the belief that our voices should never be silenced by those in power — because if it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us," it reads."

"This is the moment to defend free speech across our nation. We encourage all Americans to join us, along with the ACLU, in the fight to defend and preserve our constitutionally protected rights."

"In solidarity, ACLU," it concludes.

Organized by the American Civil Liberties Union, the letter also boasts the signatures of such luminaries as Jason Bateman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Adam Scott, Martin Short, and Meryl Streep.

These celebrities realize that this Kimmel suspension has to be the line in the sand. Donald Trump has been waging war against free speech ever since he took office and now he's weaponized the FCC to go after his critics. If we don't take a stand and put a stop to this, our First Amendment will crumble before our eyes.

"We now find ourselves in a modern McCarthy era, facing exactly the type of heavy-handed government censorship our Constitution rightfully forbids. The silencing of Jimmy Kimmel and jawboning of media outlets through lawsuits and threats to their licenses evokes dark memories of the 1950s,” stated ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero.

"We must remember, however, that Senator McCarthy was ultimately disgraced and neutralized once Americans mobilized and stood up to him. We must do the same today because, together, our voices are louder and, together, we will fight to be heard," he added.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jane Fonda, Natalie Portman, and countless other huge names in Hollywood signed the letter. It's time for Disney to cave. Hire Kimmel back immediately.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you support Jimmy Kimmel!

The next few years we’ll see a bunch of Biden infrastructure investments coming through… and Trump taking credit for them.

Sigh.

Actor Ed O’Neill on Donald Trump: “You would never listen to a guy like Trump in those earlier years in Youngstown. Nobody would. They’d just laugh at him, you know for being such an arrogant liar. A guy who had, what, six bankruptcies? Taken care of by his daddy. A guy who never really worked hard in his life”

George Stephanopoulos opened @ThisWeekABC in high-dungeon over presidential corruption: “This unprecedented money making by a sitting President and his family summarized by critics like @TheAtlantic’s David Frum: ‘Nothing like this has been attempted or even imagined in the history of the American presidency,’ he writes. ‘Throw away the history books, discard feeble comparisons to scandals of the past....The brazenness resembles nothing seen in any earlier White House. This is American corruption on the scale of a post-Soviet republic or a post-colonial African dictatorship.’”
