I’m sure everyone felt the same as they do about poor Jimmy Kimmel and free speech when Sam Ponder and Sage Steele were fired for saying men shouldn’t play in women’s sports. Or JK Rowling losing millions upon millions for saying transgender women are not biological women. Or Joe Rogan and tons of other conservatives being de-monetized on YouTube for a variety of reasons. And dozens of others over the past decade. The feigned outrage in this thread is hilarious. And what led to all this? The relentless name calling of conservatives as Nazi’s and fascists - the same rhetoric that got Charlie Kirk killed. And here we are with some of you guys saying the same thing over poor Jimmy.
Anyway, it’s been a week now of national mourning for a podcaster. Looking forward to when we can get back to normalcy. The thought police are the worst
The fact Colbert got an Oscar after his show was canceled... they are not even hiding it anymore. I take solace that nobody watches that crap anyways and most late night will be gone in the next few years. The texts are very juvenile.. and again that the transcript was being published by websites is something I have never seen before when an investigation is active. There's just a lot of smoke.
I’m not defending it. All I did was state the factual reason why he’s off the air which you lied about as usual if it doesn’t fit into your point. I also said I’d like to see Kimmel stay on the air. But lefty people being upset about cancel culture is hilarious lol. Since when are the Oscars some sort of barometer that matters? He was getting that Oscar no matter what when they canceled his show (the same show that was losing $40+ million per year…). I will point to the texts making no sense because think about some of the words. It’s written like a fed. Who in normal conversation refers to a car as a “vehicle?” Who writes that they’re going to “retrieve” something? That’s written in official police reports, not conversational language between kids barely legal to drink.
I don’t support it for anyone. But this administration is the pressure behind what’s going on now. I haven’t seen that before. This administration is acting exactly like nazis .
Not sure what was lost in translation but I agree with Colbert. I was saying the same thing. It's all fake and the cancelation is why he got it. More grandstanding by the entertainment industry.
Yeah they’re rounding up millions of Jews (among other ethnic groups) to throw into camps and murder them. They’re performing medical experiments on human beings of all different types for the benefit of medical science. They are euthanizing the mentally disabled. They are advancing on every nation in Europe in order in the name of taking over the whole continent and then enacting martial law when they get there. They are giving their soldiers speed and meth to make them as violent as possible. Sorry, but your comment is dumb as fuck for someone who’s generally reasonable. I’ll let my grandma who survived Nazi Germany know that you think they’re Nazis.
That’s pretty over the top. Nazi germany had many aspects to it , especially at the beginning. Before the murdering started. It started with control of media and information. Turning people in for opposing viewpoints
You did not provide a factual reason why he's off the air. The only fact is that Disney pulled him, they did not specify why. Its a fact that they were pressured by the FCC and its trump appointed head. Its also a fact that the president has tweeted before about wanting to see him canceled
I’m not really sure to be honest other than that there’s more to this story than a lone wolf. 5-6 messages give away ALL of the information needed written in the way a cop would write a police report? No timestamps, no screenshots. Discord has publicly said a lot about none of this occurring on their platform. I’m not above entertaining a wider conspiracy. Shit, a false flag to sow chaos and division isn’t even out of the realm of possibly in my mind. They didn’t even raid his house yet or search his electronic devices and the Utah governor declares the case closed in his press conference when they announced they got him.
Thanks. I’m extremely reluctant to add to online conspiracy-mongering, but I also have some suspicion about the lone wolf scenario. You know I don’t know dick about guns but it seems to me this guy was a sniper-level shot. Its not like he walked up with a shotgun and started blasting.
Yeah the texts are very weird. It's like a line by line confession of all aspects of the case. He did it, where the gun is stashed, stating it's a unique gun with a thousand dollar scope for more uniqueness, confirming location he is at by seeing the cop cars, oh weird there's a cop car right by where I stashed the gun I need to get to, oh dang here's me confirming I couldn't grab the gun, let me send another text confirming where I got the gun.
An interesting thing to do that I heard this morning - go into your texts and search “retrieve” and “vehicle.” See if you’ve ever used either word conversationally with anyone other than maybe saying vehicle in reference to the DMV. It’s just not how people speak. They also sprinkled in my dads “super MAGA” so there’s a little bit of something in there for liberals to draw from.
Letterman today on this Kimmel bullshit “It’s ridiculous. You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian criminal administration in the Oval Office, that’s just not how this works.” he added “We all see where this going. It’s managed media and it’s no good” — he also added that he picked on 6 different presidents and not once was he squeezed by the FCC like we are seeing with this president
