looks like this dumbass didn't realize he took the hard way.
eat shit maga cuck.
"I said to care of him. I did not specify what that meant, you're just putting words into my mouth" - "plausible" deniability
More people who say it like it is but constantly don’t mean what it sounds like they’re saying.
what? he said it iROnicAlLY??
Buddy I know a pile of shit when I see it. Call it fudge all you like, but even after you take a bite to reassure me you're not lying, we both know the truth.
Conservatives are liars, hypocrites and bullies.
The fact that nobody ever calls them out for the blatantly obvious lies to their face is the most infuriating thing of all. They think we're brainless monkeys and they get away with it because nobody pushes back
Plenty of people call them out on it - they've just spent my lifetime insulating themselves from any impact coming from it.
I mean on the TV, during the interviews, directly after they tell the obvious lies.
And most of all: scared.
It's gonna be great when all these fascists are dead
Lol.
"No no no, I meant easy at in less paperwork! An offer you can't refuse? No no, that's buy one get one free. And when I said you should meet my little friend, I meant our coworker Joey. He's 5'7"!"
More Mafia tactics. Playing the plausable deniability game and gaslighting. What an asshole.
“Everything I say or do is a joke unless I get away with it.”
👌👍. Jackass.
Really having trouble interpreting that as anything other than a threat.
He was literally gloating about it, are people actually dumb enough to buy this horseshit?
Yes
This is why you don't acquiesce to facsist threats...
If you fold, they win for free, and can claim that it's a coincidence you do what they wanted.
This morherfucker was posting memes on social media laughing about how it worked and had been intentionally planned. Now he wants to act like it was just an offhand comment.
You have to fight every fucking battle, no matter how pedantic, how pointless, or how much plausible deniability they have.
Don't give them a fucking inch for free, because if it's easy they'll keep doing it. If every inch is a battle, it runs down the clock and makes them want to just fuck off and go golfing instead.
Damn right.
No quarter for fascists.
I mean, it’s a corpo that acquiesced. They don’t care about rights or vindication or freedom, they just care about line go up. This is good advice for average people, but does not make the line go up.
Counterpoint: we've got to tell the mega corporations and C-suiters that they will lose money appealing to MAGA. Go fash, lose cash. Give money to the ones that fight back, buy from good local businesses, and be informed about where the megas stand and cut back as much support as you can.
Finally, a worthy opponent to “go woke, go broke” — I'll use “go fash, lose cash” for years to come!
I cant claim that I created it (dunno where I first saw it either) but absolutely use it! And make sure the 1% knows it true, too
He needs to be removed from his position immediately and have an investigation opened into his actions
I mean, yes, but....
Bullshit
FCC Chairman: Someone should take care of Jimmy Kimmel.
[deep state assassins terminate Kimmel]
FCC Chairman: Noooo! Not like that!!
Bullshit
Bullshit
Carr said that “what I spoke about last week is that when concerns are raised about news distortion … there’s an easy way for parties to address that and work that out. In the main, that takes place between local television stations that are licensed by the FCC and what we call national programmers like Disney. They work that out, and there doesn’t need to be any involvement of the FCC.”
He added: “Now, if they don’t, there’s a way that is not as easy, which is someone can file a complaint at the FCC, and then the FCC, by law, as set up by Congress, has to adjudicate that complaint. And what I’ve been very clear in the context of the Kimmel episode, is the FCC, and myself in particular, have expressed no view on the ultimate merits.”
Bullshit word salad.
Reminds me of:

Dwight Schrute: I didn't know that you were at a party on Saturday night.
Ryan Howard: I go to a lot of parties.
Dwight Schrute: Okay, I'm gonna need to search your car. Give me your keys.
Ryan Howard: I am not giving you my keys.
Dwight Schrute: Don't make me do this the hard way.
Ryan Howard: What's the hard way?
Dwight Schrute: I go down to the police station on my lunch break. I tell a police officer, I know several, what I suspect you may have in your car. He requests a hearing from a judge and obtains a search warrant. Once he has said warrant, he will drive over here, and make you give him the keys to your car and you will have to obey him.
Ryan Howard: Yeah, let's do it that way.
Also from this article, but I want to remind people of this, too:
Carr, appearing on Benny Johnson’s podcast, called Kimmel’s remark “some of the sickest conduct possible.”
This is what Carr thought was "some of the sickest conduct possible":
Kimmel said, “We had 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 with everything they can to score political points from it.”
So, for Brendan Carr, "the sickest conduct possible" refers to comedians making extremely tame jokes about politicians and saying exactly what they were doing. "The sickest conduct possible" is apparently not what the politicians were actually doing, when they were exploiting Kirk's death for their own gains.
You know, personally, when I think of "the sickest conduct possible," I tend to think of other things. Maybe things more similar to assaulting and raping children or sexually assaulting women in a changing room. You know, actually bad things where people get hurt. Not stuff where you're just telling the truth to politicians who are embarrassed by the truth.
Everyone keeps reposting that monologue quote but completely ignores the part where he just played clips of Trump not seeming to give a damn that Kirk had been murdered.
The FCC chair threatened to kill a merger for Nextstar if they didn't threaten ABC to get Kimmel taken off the air, because he insulted Trump, Nextstar pressured ABC, and ABC capitulated.
This was never about comments Kimmel made about Charlie Kirk, and shame on the entirely of media in this country for framing it that way. This was because Jimmy Kimmel insulted President Donald Trump.
What you're saying is true, but the problem is that the part where Trump doesn't give a shit about Kirk can't be spun. There is nobody who would see Kimmel criticizing Trump for having zero empathy for Kirk, and accept the spin that it was an insult towards Kirk.
On the other hand, the first part can be spun. They say that Kimmel was lying about the assassin's motives which dishonors the memory of Kirk. Of course, Kimmel said no such thing.
In fact, he was saying that MAGA was lying about the assassin's motives. As far as I know, we still haven't heard anything about the killer's motives, so anybody who claims they know the killer's motives, even his parents, are just making shit up.
So, as far as I can tell, Kimmel was doing what MAGA was claiming that they were doing, being respectful towards Kirk, while calling out people who were being disrespectful. And meanwhile, MAGA was doing what they were claiming Kimmel was doing, lying about the shooter's motives. But I won't say that this really dishonors Kirk. He'd have lied, too.
Or like Brian Kill-em-all saying ON AIR that homeless people should all just be murdered by lethal injection.
Bullshit
Gaslighters are gonna gaslight.
Utter and complete bullshit.
OK. Did anyone complain to FCC about a certain turd gleefully advocating euthanasia of the homeless? What's happening with that investigation?
Fox is cable.
Bullshit
The loser wanted to show the size of his dick, and found out it’s tiny as fuck.
I'll echo again Bull. Shit.
About as convincing as Ray on trailer park boys getting busted for solicitation. "What? Prostitution? That money wasn't for sex! It was for... This is illegal!"
Bullshit
