@cushac Thank you for writing this. This is an excellent piece that manages to put into words deep thoughts that I’ve been thinking for many many years. You nailed it
@W0lfbrother23@Ren531531@NateSilver538 Kimmel sent his love to the Kirk family he didn’t squeal with glee. He was cancelled for saying that MAGA can’t handle the possibility that the killer might be one of their own. Fact: we don’t actually know the killer’s politics despite what the right is repeating
@W0lfbrother23@NateSilver538 No it doesn’t. You just don’t like what he said. Great. That’s your right. But in this country the government isn’t supposed to censor speech it doesn’t like. But that is what happened here. Trump says absolutely batshit lunacy on camera everyday and you’re fine with it
@W0lfbrother23@NateSilver538 First of all that’s not what Kimmel said. Even if it was, the government has no business leaning on affiliates and networks to censor views they disagree with. It’s a literal and obvious violation of the first amendment
@EliLake Let’s separate two things: Eli Lake is a pedantic and mediocre journalist, and his opinion on comedy is irrelevant. At the same time his second point is correct.
Nobody knows? Not allowed to ask? just because you only got interested in government or politics two years ago, don't put that on everyone else. Own your own ignorance. And perhaps just look at the historical budget tables that you can google in 10 seconds? Seriously, this is embarrassing.
