That is how the government is trying to save face now that Disney decided to stand up to them. Their threats are public, their later lies do not change them.

- saubeidl 1y ago> Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr suggested Jimmy Kimmel should be suspended and said, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,”
- myko 1y agoDidn't trump post truths about firing Kimmel and Colbert? this seems to be a pattern > Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences, This is true, but the 1st amendment applies to the government - when the government is limiting speech, it is time to be concerned–especially given trump's track record (attempt to usurp Biden with Jan 6th, political violence comments, "jokes" about a third term, etc.)

- saubeidl 1y agoFree speech? The very thing you were just very concerned about? Also, there's no evidence that guy was leftist at all.
- gjsman-1000 1y agoHis mother openly says he was left-wing; the governor said he was left-wing; he has a sexual relationship with a male transitioning to female who is also a furry; he cites Bella Ciao on the ammunition; has a "Notices bulge" meme reference also on the ammunition; and you're telling me there's no evidence? Duh, he’s a leftist; and the fourth violent one the right wing can name from the last year alongside Ryan Routh, Thomas Crooks, and Robin Westman. Denial doesn’t solve problems.
- anthk 1y agoIt was a Groypers' member. Full stop.
- bitlax 1y agoFull stop? Lol. The right-wing groyper theory is completely dead. Tyler Robinson is a leftist who killed in the name of his leftism. None of the evidence contradicts it.
- krapp 1y agoWhat evidence do you have that he "killed in the name of his leftism?" As far as I know, there is no evidence of a specific "leftist" motive and no connection has been found to "leftist" organizations. Bear in mind that many Christians were opposed to Charlie Kirk's politics, and right-wingers didn't feel he went far enough. So that alone isn't evidence of "killing in the name of his leftism." The memes aren't hard evidence either, since they're just memes.
- bitlax 1y agoYes, you're cherry-picking, hand-waving, and a week behind in the publicly known evidence. I'd entertain steelman arguments for these theories using all available evidence but I've yet to see anyone do it. At any rate, were a long way from "full stop" and you seem to be lashing out in the dark so I'm content to leave it here.
