Here's the thing: I believe Trump, RFK Jr., and the other people going along with everything are quite simply too stupid to understand this concept.

Guy talking at my funeral, who has supposedly been overcome with emotion since my shocking murder: “We found an answer to autism.”

You know Tim Pool’s wondering if he would get this kind of treatment.

“I used to watch Jimmy Kimmel every night but then it got woke” is maybe the biggest twerp shit Vance has ever tweeted.

Seen a lot of RWers say that this is all just a response to the Left’s cancel culture. One person even cited “millions” of people fired for their speech. Putting aside the ludicrous number, does anyone have an example of someone fired purely for speech? Only person that comes to mind is Shane Gillis

Not the most important thing going on with her today but @katmabu.bsky.social was our guest on Even More News this week and we talked about her experiences protesting ICE in Chicago in addition to Jimmy Kimmel getting cancel cultured.

Making an embarrassing scene at Starbucks because they won't write Charlie Kirk on my cup of coffee, which now costs $5.75.

At least he’s being honest that the only reason he opposes it is because it could be bad for people like him down the road. Instead of, you know, on principle. www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

The vast majority of Americans, including the president, found out about this whole thing when Kimmel was suspended on Wednesday. One wonders if literally anyone was upset watching on Monday night.

They did this same argument a few months ago with “You know who else doesn’t get due process? Murder victims.” It works! Those are different things, but it works for them!

Ironically, if The View had been pulled off the air a year ago, Trump might have lost.

We’re just not living in the same reality with many of these people. Even if you didn’t like what Kimmel said, he objectively did not say anything about Charlie Kirk!

RFK Jr’s legacy will be one of illness and death, and may only be topped by Trump himself and maybe Miller in terms of utter disgrace.

You think the FCC chair threatening to pull licenses while the president demands obedience to approve mergers is bad? Well, how about that time some neocon wrote a letter! Check and mate.

The competitive authoritarianism will be getting competitive any day now.

Can’t wait until all those The Quote Is Out Of Context!!! folks watch the Kimmel clip that supposedly “suggested the suspect is a MAGA Republican.”

Genuine question: could Donald Trump, today, be able to tell you who Charlie Kirk was?

Sinclair’s one-hour tribute to Charlie Kirk will either not include anything he ever said or did, or it will be significantly more offensive than the Kimmel bit.

Jimmy Kimmel says MAGA is trying to score political points off Charlie Kirk's death. FCC chair Brendan Carr threatens to "take action" (?) over this comment. Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended. FCC chair Brendan Carr openly celebrates the scoring of a political point off Charlie's Kirk's death.

It's the Left that needs to tone down the rhetoric lest they cause real-world violence, you see.

Telling the co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s to “stick to ice cream.”

RIP Robert Redford. JustWatch.com probably just set a record for most searches of “Sneakers” in a single day.

trump approval hits a new low in today's yougov/economist poll. now worse than he was in yougov's data at this point in 2017 www.economist.com/interactive/...

Very few things on this page you could say to a coworker at the office and not (with good cause) be fired within the day.

This is why things that used to be part of a typical middle class lifestyle - Disneyland, sporting events, annual vacations, concerts - no longer are. They’ve raised the prices and rich people keep paying. They simply don’t need you anymore. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

pretty telling that their lawyers had to find a basis for firing her other than the actual one, which is criticizing Charlie Kirk

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

Do the 20% of Trump supporters who support political violence know that it’s only a problem on the left?

Journalism is so funny. Like, I don't care about this story at all, but why is the word "maybe" wishy-washy, but the phrase "might have been" is "unequivocal"? Again, it doesn't matter. It's my problem for being irrationally bothered by this stuff.

<getting furious at church> When are they going to talk about podcasts?!?

This guy they made up seems incredible.

Is Elon Musk still paying the legal fees for people terminated over social media posts?

One policy solution to Young Men we should be considering is Universal Basic Electric Guitar (UBEG). I'm not joking, by the way. Kids of any gender should get a low-cost starter kit for some hobby of their choosing once they turn 13. A camera, paints, a cheap sampler, etc.

all i know for certain is jesse watters should never be allowed in front of a camera again in his life, the bloodlust for democrats he espoused and the violence he tried to inspire before knowing a single freaking fact of this case should be a source of shame for any “news” network

The funny thing is that, yes, King is right, the "stoning gays to death" clip from Charlie Kirk was not him advocating for that, but him pointing out that anyone can cherry-pick Bible verses... but the verse he was criticizing Ms. Rachel for cherry-picking was "love your neighbor as yourself."

<explaining to my son why he's not allowed to use the internet until he's 25> Okay, so you know the Notices Buldge / OwO What's This copypasta?

I remain convinced that any of these 22-year-olds who decide to kill someone could get a $200k/yr job with the FBI for doing Frank Abagnale-style consulting/translation of this particular kind of hyperonline speech.

Remember he had that ridiculous parade that cost a shitload of money and was super embarrassing and nobody showed up and then it was like okay, on to the next thing? Was that only this summer?

SCOOP: Grok sick of answering same question about how right-wing extremists responsible for nearly all politically-motivated murders.

"Just enjoy the day off. Don't worry about it." -Me explaining to my kid in 10 years why he gets the second Wednesday in September off of school every year for Charlie Kirk Day.

lol. when they go low, we do whatever this is

We should hold him to this if the shooter turns out to be a white supremacist.

"We're watching what they're saying on television and who's saying what – the politicians, the media, and all these rats out there." The kind of rhetoric he's describing, which he blames for what happened, is the very kind of rhetoric he is using.

Don't shoot people. It's wrong and can also lead to a lot of bad things happening.

Not that Trump II wouldn't have been really bad anyway, but I feel like he would have hesitated on stuff like this if he hadn't been given immunity for "official" actions.

Were birthday books a thing in this era, or did Ghislaine Maxwell legitimately get the idea from this 2001 episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm? (which features both RFK Jr's wife and future January 6 pardonee Jay Johnston)

Feels like the follow-up question to this forgery stuff should be: "So, you agree that if it WAS written by Trump, that would be bad."

Note, Axios liberated a copy of the Epstein book and other docs. I reposted a copy of the book here. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
