But also, peacefully protest in large numbers everywhere these politicians can be found. Don’t let them go a single day without being surrounded by protesters wherever they go. It needs to be relentless but peaceful.

The mega-wealthy need to step up, including celebrities. They need to stop spending and stop showing up for work too. They are the ones who won’t starve if they stop going to work. They are the ones who would have a stronger impact if they stop spending.

We keep wringing our hands about how horrifying this is, but we aren’t doing anything about it collectively. The No Kings protests are great but not enough.

We don’t have to live like this.


General strike? That sounds Sovietish.


I guess they think the solution to "fascism" is militant communism.


I mean, they do.

Depends. Would you miss healthcare?

Outside of the ER, no. Most of what we call healthcare is fleecing boomers and peddling snake oil.

Everyone who can afford to stop working should stop?

So??? F**k them. I don’t care how much they whined. This is different. The country is literally destroyed.


No, they DIDN’T whine, dumbass. That’s the point.

And it’s classic Democrat immaturity & stupidity that you think an overpaid unfunny 3rd-rate comedian getting fired by his employer is literally the end of the county.

All but the very wealthiest may lose all that and much more…healthcare, clean water, internet access, weather data, insurance.

What is happening in your mind is quite different than reality. The country is not destroyed, it is in the process of being made great again. Think of it as a construction zone: the old used-up asphalt (Democrat ideas like DEI and pronoun fascism) is being ripped up and replaced. Hallelujah!


What does great again mean?
Great Again means tariffs that are in our favor. It means people are hired or accepted into college not by skin color, gender, or sexuality but by merit and intelligence. MAGA means enforcing immigration laws and we are not trying to become a socialist weenie country or sewer country like Jamaica, Haiti, or Bangladesh.


Yep, you nailed it, Jethro. To paraphrase, it means bigotry, intolerance, and a sense of entitlement despite being a band of moronic rubes.

Np
I hate Trump and am very worried about the state of the country and where we are headed.

But this is just a dumb thing to say. Literally destroyed? Be factual. There are plenty of concerning facts.

I so wish I could. But I’m a fed and I do a job directly related to public health that is essential during shut downs (sorry, “excepted”). It would be so tempting to let MAGA get the government they voted for, but then other people would get hurt and also I’d be out of a job fairly quickly. And unfortunately I’m not in a tax bracket where we can survive for an extended time without my paycheck and health insurance. I feel so trapped by this administration.

This is not a freedom of speech violation. Your employer, and in his case ABC, can fire you for misconduct.


Not how the 1st amendment works.


Tell me how it works then.


A company can absolutely fire someone for cause, but they can also get their asses sued for wrongful termination. Notice how Kimmel has yet to release a statement? He is about to go nuclear and Disney is about to lose a crap ton of subscribers simply because they kissed the dictator’s ring.

And if you think this is going to silence the “radical left”, this latest lunacy is going to do the opposite. Ladies and Gentlemen, things are about to get real. I’m legitimately getting nervous that the proverbial powder keg is about to explode. Big.

Or how about when when trump was banned from social media?

Megan kelly was fired by nbc....

And tucker carlson was fired from fox news.

How about when jk rowling was blacklisted?

You all have what’s called ‘selective memory’!


None of that is the government. Try again.


Remember COVID? And all the censorship Biden admin did on social media, etc.? Oh yeah, you don't remember that do you? And don't give me this BS about OMG PANDEMIC!!! SAVING LIVES!!

That's free speech too, you know.


Lies and misinformation are not protected speech. But I too wish they'd just allowed you all to continue drinking bleach.


The US Government is not the ultimate arbiter of truth. You can say or post a lie about something. It's not free from consequences, but the government isn't going to toss you in the slammer for it.

NO discerning opinion on COVID was allowed, all of that got censored per the Biden admin's doing, but you don't remember that do you???


The fun thing about fact is that something either is factual or it is not. Not allowing you to spread verifiably false information is not censorship and it is not protected speech.


Unfortunately “science” isn’t as clearly true or false as you & most other idiots think it is.

Under the First Amendment, the government (here, the FCC) is NOT permitted to coerce a private entity (here, ABC) to suppress someone else's (here, Kimmel) free speech. In fact, your beloved Samuel Alito has proclaimed that. You are either incredibly stupid or a feckless buffoon. I suspect you are both.
