If the film/tv industry did this alone everything would collapse pretty fast. Cut off everyone’s entertainment and they’ll get pissed real fast.
You do have a point, media helps keep the cattle calm and distracted…
-
No. That’s what Trump wants. Talk about the terrible things he is doing right now
To be fair, even fucking Margorine Tator Tot Green is pissed about him hiding the Epstein files. I think you underestimate how badly core MAGA want it released. It really could be the thing that takes all this down.
-
Okay but why in that way - during the taping of a show? That doesn’t seem very “planned”. That seems like a desperate rush.
Over the weekend would have been smoother. Hell, just about any other way would have been smoother.
They gave Colbert another year.
Colbert getting canned was a test. They saw they could get away with it, so now gloves are off and off Kimmel goes in one night.
Everything they do is a test to see if they can get away with something. If they do, they ratchet up to the next horrendous idea.

Someone in the administration (not Trump obviously) is smart enough to know to strike while the iron is hot. Use the Charlie Kirk killing to justify all kinds of shit that they want to do anyway while they have an angry army of supporters to shout down anyone who dares to speak up against their actions.
They were always going to declare antifa a “terrorist organization.” They were always going to come after Kimmel. They were always going to put democrats on lists to be investigated. The MAGA anger over Kirk’s killing just gave them the opportunity to speed up the timeline and they couldn’t let it go to waste.

I don’t doubt they wanted to gauge reactions. I doubt ABC was part of that in any way.

I still say it was about THE EPSTEIN FILES and not the nazi that the other nazi shot.

Partially yes. But I’m positive that they were looking for their own Reichstag fire and found it in the Kirk killing.

They’re using ‘Bread and circuses’ to pacify, so remove the circuses and watch the anger boil up.

Wonder if he is considering running for office now?

Ehh naw we just need to let it reset. The house of cards will crumble as soon as Trump croaks, then once ceaser is gone Rome will burn. Hopefully what comes after is better, but it probably won’t.
Personally, my family came to this foreign land, that’s not ours, to seek out a better economic life and freedom. 2024 was the first election that the youngest voting generation went more conservative in the last 100 years. The beliefs of this nation no longer align with my own, so I’m returning back to Europe where my family once came in search of those very values. I realize a lot isn’t great there either, but I have more trust in the EU protecting my fundamental rights than I do the US Constitution.
Failing that, at least Europe has better wine and I’ll just enjoy the view while the world ends.
^ this is the epitome of the “fuck you, got mine” mentality… you seem to think you have an out so every body else can go fuck themselves… you are not even going to try to spare most of the worst of it, you are happy to let everyone suffer because you think you have an out
Good luck EU if this is what they are getting from the USA

Canary? The tunnels are collapsing
-
And what action would you like to take?
Use the guns for what they were meant for
-
Bloomberg Opinion Section: “Total Tunnel Collapse Could be a Sign of Tunnel Instability”

They’re doing a job of removing the bread already - huge benefit cuts from the most vulnerable among us
-
The tweet was from last year.
So they’re doing pretty good, all things considered.
The canary is very dead.
This needs to be mentioned in the OP. I didnt notice the date either.
-
Dude, your “canary” is decomposing at the bottom of a gas-flooded mine. That ship sailed months ago.
Right? We’ve had a flock of canaries go in and never come out. Let’s be frank it’s been a long time coming:
- Kimmel
- Noem v Vasquez Perdomo
- DC
- Colbert
- PBS
- NPR
- Roe
- Affirmative action
- Net neutrality
- Citizens United
- The Patriot Act
At some point we gotta stop thinking they will ever come out.
-
The country relies on cars for everything. If you block some roads, you can halt the whole economy.
Not in America. In France, yes. Still humans in France.
-
well I am not American so my actions are not the same as yours…
In Spanish they have this saying “cada ladron juzga por su condicion”… which applies here. It basically means “a thief thinks everyone else is also thieving”… it says a lot more about you that your default assumption is that I do nothing even if I am calling for action
I didnt actually write or say that you do nothing. I asked you what actions you think would work.
Its because I have pretty much thought about all of this before. No action that I can come up with will lead to any change. But maybe you have better ideas.
-
Wonder if he is considering running for office now?
That would be interesting for sure
-
People cant do anything. What actions will change things?
Well Charlie Kirk has been awfully quiet and not bussing around insurrectionists to the Capitol recently. Wonder what happened there?
It didnt create meaningful change. A person was killed. The opinions of his fans are only stronger now. So what did it accomplish, really.
Also, the moment people split into two sides and wont listen to eachother, and starts fighting eachother, you have the setup needed for much more meaningless violence. This is where America is now. Because you have been manipulated into it.
You can watch this video that actually explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azE7nqqQMmo
Please actually watch it. This is 100% what is happening.
