So the best you’ve got is

Okay, Pee-wee. :lol:
Gettin' a little nervous that your favorite oligarch might be facing consequences for the first time ever?
Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine.
Try some breathing exercises!

This isn't a free speech issue. It's an at will employment issue.

If you do something lame and stupid that embarrasses your bosses, and they haul you in to a meeting and tell you to cut it out, and your response is "fuck that", you're basically asking to be fired. That's how employment works. Most people working in the US today would be fired immediately if they were caught disrespecting one of the sacred castes of progressivism.

A job as a talk show host is not a human right.
It's a free speech issue when the employer is being leaned on by the GOVERNMENT to control what their employees can or cannot say.
 
So you're gonna go with "Nazism isn't fascism" now? Do what you gotta do I guess :shrug:
Don't misrepresent what I said. I have faith that the people in this thread are smart enough to see through your attempts to put words in my mouth but I'm gonna explain it anyway just because I feel like it.

Your post was in response to a Covid remark and you very obviously compared Covid restrictions to Nazi policies which is completely absurd. So no, I did not say "Nazism isn't fascism", I said restrictions to fight an ongoing pandemic aren't fascism.

Jimmy Kimmel in da house ladies and gentlemen!!!
We should be so lucky.

When it comes to COVID restrictions, Set Harth will still be obsessively posting reality-challenged nonsense about them from his deathbed.

The shooter is a far right-wing Groyper, who thinks that Kirk wasn't far-enough-right.

We still don't know for sure. I will say the transcript they released is very supect. The Groyper thing is a common theory. Its difficult for the mainstream media to talk about because of the offensive and contradictory beliefs in the online communities where incels, femboys and transwomen overlap.
 
Considering there are people who claim Star Trek has suddenly become "woke" in recent years and people who photoshop the felon-in-chief in a Starfleet uniform, I'm not even remotely surprised there are Star Trek fans who can't tell this difference.

Technically, isn't Captain Kirk a convicted felon for his actions in Star Trek III?

*runs*
 
The issue was shamelessly lying about Kirk's assassin being MAGA, a claim which is absurd on its face... because Kirk was MAGA. (Then again, no one has ever looked at Kimmel and thought "this guy seems intelligent".)
If you look at Seth Meyers first, you might think otherwise. And Kimmel arguably uses more actual effective humor than CBS Colbert has lately.

I guess it's possible to enjoy something diametrically opposed to your own beliefs. I'm a huge Judge Dredd fan but that doesn't mean I believe in fascistic judge, jury and executioner policing.
 
I knew someone who had no problem wearing a mask. But after so much Matt Walsh, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson and friends, pulled a 180 and became a hardcore anti-masker and made sure her kids wouldn't wear masks either, to the point where she got doctor's notes about not being able to wear masks, as if all those times they wore masks never happened.
 
Anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers during the pandemic were no different than whiny, petulant five year olds throwing conniption fits because they were forced to take a bath at night. Exactly. The. Same. With the same intelligence and maturity level.
The worst part is that the precautions weren’t just about protecting yourself, but the health and lives of others. So beyond just the childish petulance, the selfishness and lack of concern for the welfare of their community was a damning indictment of their moral character.

And they would wave their American flags and pretend that they were patriots when they were responsible for more American deaths than any terrorist group could ever dream of. Anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers like our friend here in the thread were Al-Qaeda's wet dream.

Damn them for not giving a ratturd about anyone, not even themselves.

OVER ONE MILLION DEAD WHO WERE FORGOTTEN LIKE YESTERDAYS FAST FOOD

Covid killed my neighbor Tiffany across the hall. Her mate has been trying to cope with the loss, but his life was turned upside down and he's not done very well since. I caught it in '22 and if I hadn't been vax'd, it would have killed me.

That whole "fuck you, I got mine" attitude has been dry rot on the country since the Reagan administration.

Damn right. Spoiled children become spoiled adults. You seen how many of these mooks have Ivy League degrees? Unless you got a scholarship to one of these pricy
universities, you or your parents were rich. Entitlement squared.

The rest of us went to state colleges with scholarships, bought used books and did work-study to make it Or took out loans or did 'indentured studentude' i.e. worked in a particular field for an agreed upon period of time after graduating to have the tuition written off by the state. Rehabilitation Services for the Deaf helped me with books and student housing.
