Yep. Much like how racists hate being called racist and
fascists can't stand being called fascist, Charlie Kirk
fans hate it when you quote him to them.

I admit to not having heard of Charlie Kirk before he was killed. The aftermath has been a hard lesson in the bifurcated state of our “union”.

I've learned more about how America works from comedians than I did from political figures. RIP George Carlin.

You know, I really can't imagine George Carlin resting in peace.

George went off to become one with the Universe and hasn’t looked back since.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
Apparently this comment from Jimmy Kimmel was “vile” enough for the FCC to threaten ABC, and for Nexstar and ABC to pull his show off the schedule. This is what censorship looks like.

What has happened to free speech? Speaking truth? Comedy? Entertainment?
Something is very wrong when they pull someone off air because they can’t take any criticism.

Jimmy Kimmel has now been pulled off the air "indefinitely" as was reported in the last 30 minutes.
