Mocking Donald Trump as well, last night Kimmel said on his show: “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.”

One wonders how much longer Seth Meyers has. Kimmel was always the last monologue I watched, after Meyers and Colbert. Those are cathartic ways of coping with just how crazy shit is getting, and now the folks screaming about being canceled are getting really efficient at actually canceling entertainment.

What the fuck is the endgame here? You can shut down the entire internet, and I'm still not going to buy into Nazi ideology. I fear we may end up in a violent situation.

The endgame is to leave only two kinds of people: supporters, and silent ones. Collaborators may be tolerated until they are no longer useful.

Meanwhile on Fox News...

Where do I get my free lethal injection as a homeless person? They're doing a piss-poor job of advertising locations, hours, etc.
