Y’all act like the president we elect controls the country, we have no say regardless of who is elected. In all honesty I voted for trump but I’m pretty pissed about some of it, his main argument on why he should be president was that he would get the Epstein files release and then he basically just said they weren’t real and disregarded them. The country is cooked in general, time to go to Canada or sum
He said maga was doing everything they could to make him not seem like one of their own. And that is factually correct. Before anyone knew what the fuck even happened Republican leadership was pointing fingers and shifting from trans shooter, to trans bullets, to potentially trans partner. (I don’t know how much I trust the devout Mormon maga family to know the difference between trans and femboy tbh)
I felt the same way before watching it but the way he says it implies heavily that the shooter was in fact affiliated with MAGA and Republicans were trying to cover it up, which was weird since the murderer’s family and close friends have consistently said he was very far left, not to mention the bullets he engraved. as comedy it wasn’t really funny and as current events commentary it was very misleading if not straight up misinformation because of his wording
And I quote, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” I’ve seen the entire episode, do I think it was bad enough to take him off the air? No, but don’t sit there and lie through your teeth when there’s video evidence everywhere bro.
They re-reported the same thing they already said when the Twitter files were released. But even that reporting showed a significant lack of follow through by the sm companies or punishment from the government. It’s not like they had the chair of the FCC go out and say “we can either do this the easy way or the hard way” to force a removal.
On top of that, there were theories floating around saying who the shooter was and wasn’t, but now we know that Tyler is a white male who is definitely NOT MAGA. (Do I believe the text messages between Tyler and his s/o are real? Hell no, they’re fake as fuck, but it’s what we have to work with until new evidence is presented or found.)
Comedians aren’t dumb my bro. Whole point for a lot of comedians is to point out things in society/life in a funny way that’s easily digestible. Jimmy is liberal, that’s fine, but it takes less than 5 min of googling to pull up the evidence being presented by the feds. Again, I don’t think the case is as cut and dry as the feds/media is making it seem, but it’s what we have. Especially with Tyler’s family consistently saying he was leaning left.
Private companies setting standards for misconduct and misinformation is not a blatant violation of the first amendment as the government is not acing it is the independent company. The government using its powers in the form of the fcc (threats of fines) and ftc (threats to the multi billion dollar merger Sinclair is attempting) to threaten comedians who make joke about the leader of the regime at the instruction of the head of the regime is. It is straight out of the autocrat playbook
Masked mean have been given a blank check to say skin color is an effective form of probable clause and once detained due process is gone. Political dissidents are being threatened having there livelihoods stripped free speech is under attack in every way. He is attacking universities and research and replacing it with his half cooked ideas like Tylenol causes autism. He is looking to reshape public education in a evangelical right wing way witch in addition to being dumb is a violation
if you watch the clip and how he says it, it’s very much implying that the murderer was conservative and that Republicans are trying to cover it up. after all his close friends and family have stated he was extremely far left - like it wasn’t really a joke and it was much closer to straight up misinformation. if one of the faces of a company is spreading lies about a major political event, there are consequences. no company is going to ignore that
I went for vacation and it was fucking amazing, food quality and water quality are better, the people are actually nice. Not to mention it’s just beautiful. I’m not saying I’ve done my research or that I’m actually moving, I just like Canada. Also they don’t let people immigrate to Canada unless they will actually be useful to society which I think is pretty cash money
I agree he is not funny and a prick and if it was solely ABCs decision to kick him out as a private company I would have no issue. The problem was the Trump administration “encouraging” them to do so. The government should not be interfering in the media or media decisions at all.
lol. you are so lucky you live in this country you have no concept of what the world is like outside of our first world asylum. just because some fucking loser got taken off national television for being disrespectful, does not mean we live in a dictatorship pr that our rights are being taken. if that were the case, he would have been arrested or executed, not suspended for 48 hours. have sone perspective and some gratitude for your fortune you pig
Ok but one is an elected official, the other is an employee, employees can be fired it’s a normal thing that happens every day, the president on the other hand was elected and I’m not sure how Trump lying is a good excuse for other people to lie, that’s just giving up intellectually
If you genuinely think this is about ratings im sorry you’re this vulnerable to propaganda 😭. 1.772 avg million viewers in the last quarter, #2 highest for his time slot, #3 highest overall. If it was genuinely about ratings, the timing wouldn’t have correlated directly with his criticism of Trump. Why didn’t they take him off any time before if he had “horrible ratings”? Just because Trump says doesn’t make it true.
It doesn’t matter your views on the TV host, it was a blatant violation of free speech because the president couldn’t take a joke. He wasn’t disrespectful, he was referring to the presidents reaction. Also, just because it’s better here than in North Korea doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight for what is right. You can still be grateful that we are able to use our voice to ensure that we continue fighting for our rights and to ensure freedom of speech.
Actually if you read/listened to what he said, the only claim he made was that MAGA is trying their best to make sure the shooter isn’t portrayed as republicans no matter what the evidence may eventually say. He never made a claim about the shooters political ideology or the shooter at all. You’re proving his point right now even, he set a trap and MAGA but hook and sinker
No it’s not a violation of free speech, the man was let go from his job. He wasn’t kicked off of literally any other platform or censored. Even if ABC cancelled his show forever, he’d still be able to start a podcast, get on YouTube, and do literally ANYTHING ELSE. His freedom of speech is still intact dude. You know whose freedom of speech was actually taken? Charlie Kirk.
It technically IS a violation and a form of censorship. Just because there are other avenues for him to proceed in doesn’t mean that the administration can strong arm a corporation into removing a (obviously still) publicly valued public speaker because they thought he said the exact same thing that they’re saying but flipped. And he didn’t even make a claim about the shooters political ideology either, the over reaction literally proved his original point
You don’t even know who you are talking too. Don’t assume that it’s only the younger generation. Why would any of us have honor and respect for a n*zi, r*cist person who literally said that public execution should be televised? If you support a n*zi you are apart of the problem!!!
Do you even know what a characterization is? Trump and Epstein both oublically said they’ve been friends for years and would bar hop to pick up girls with each other. Trumps also a very public pervert and womanizer with multiple significant rape allegations. You saw Biden act weird around some kids as his dementia got worse and that he liked ice cream. Those are characterizations to discredit someone opinions, calling Trump and Epstein once bffs and Trump a rapist are well documented facts
You don’t even know what a nazi is. You’re so fucking stupid and led by emotions that yall keep throwing those words around. Public execution may not be the answer, but maybe we can send people like you to your own state and not let you return to society until you aren’t a cunt anymore. I think that would be more reasonable
