What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

[The Mighty Mollusk]

It casts doubt on anyone else trying to use the term. If it's discredited now, who's gonna believe it when someone tries to declare that the Proud Boys or ICE or the entire MAGA movement are terrorist groups? Sure, they all definitely are, but we live in a propaganda-driven hellscape where being first and loudest is more important than actually being correct.

Budget time again, and Trump's telling the GOP not to negotiate. We'll see if Schumer stands his ground this time.

 

[Rhinox]

Something to ponder.
These cancellations are all due to the pressure Trump and his stooges are putting onto the networks, especially those with impending mergers and other business in front of government entities. Does this, in fact, make this a full on First Amendment violation as the government is using their power to insinuate they won't allow these business happenings to take place if the entertainers aren't punished or fired?

 

[KidTDragon]

Sure seems like it is, but good luck getting those involved to face consequences for it.

 

[The Predaking]

FCC chairman has now been subpoenaed to testify over this Kimmel incident.

 

[KidTDragon]

That would be a big deal if subpoenas still meant something.

 

[Axaday]

I genuinely don't know if you're joking or not.

Pshhhhh

 

[Fullstrength Motleypuss]

Pshhhhh

You might want to get a patch kit - I think you've sprung a leak.

 

[Corvus]

He did this in the first term with BLM. He's doing it again because.....same reasons.

Ironbite-and just because he's designated something a terrorist group doesn't mean jive.

It does when he has far more control over the DOJ and FBI than he did in his first term. Remember, he actually had some damned adults in the room the first time around. No such luck this time.
