First Colbert, Now Kimmel

so slowly all the talk shows that speak truth to power are gone. Now they start to censor everything we watch. They are well on their way to crushing all political discourse that doesn't line up with their nazi propaganda.

Frogs being boiled - that's what we are. And to think the dumbest idiot on the planet is doing this.

Followed by the Daily Show. Comedy is dead because it questions authority by default.

Daily Show is not OTA so Carr lacks authority there. That's also why South Park gets away with what it does.

It was a quiet comment, a short one. Almost as an aside.
But I caught it.

I wonder what she is thinking tonight?

If that requires approval from Trump, then she has reason to be worried.

If it comes in the way of making a buck. Sad truth but I’ve seen it happen before.

However this case is complete BS because he said nothing objectively wrong.

So he is gone period.

Yes the corporations think their employees are just trained monkeys.
Easily replaced.

I'm gonna say that Kimmel V. Johnson is going to be a fun SCOTUS case to watch. I hope Jimmy exposes the MAGA dude bros and we learn the truth about the election.
