Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

He continued, “Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”

He should be sued for defying the first amendment

You spelt decapitated wrong.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I think you mean "disposed"

[–] clashorcrashman@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago

He should be sued for making us listen to his stupid bullshit all the time.

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm so fucking sick of looking at him and listening to his gaped asshole of a mouth spreading ignorance and lies.

[–] clashorcrashman@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They say he smells like a gaped asshole too

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 6 days ago

Because his actual asshole has been made so loose by Putin fucking him, that he's incontinent and constsntly has shit in his diaper.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I seriously think we need an organized movement to respond to him universally with "Shut the hell up, asshole."

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

Shut the fuck up Donny.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Release the Trump/Epstein files

[–] Fusselwurm@feddit.org 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

once you have paid him the Danegeld / You never get rid of the Dane

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Ok so how much would it cost to get the Danes over here?

[–] JustTheWind@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Do whatever you like in a private capacity you diaper wearing taco. Threaten to use a government agency, that's a technical foul. Back to the first amendment line.

[–] Sasquatch@lemmy.ml 146 points 1 week ago (2 children)

to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution

I dont think Donny would be my go to subject matter expert on campaign finance laws

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 59 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And not that it matters in the world of hypocrisy, but fox news might as well be the Republican News Network...

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isn’t most of the admin fox personalities?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 24 points 1 week ago

As of a may 10th article there were 23 fox personalities in the administration... It's beyond absurd.

It's shit like this that the lawyers were waiting for. The ape was subtle enough with the threats last time that the government couldn't be implicated in Kimmel's termination. This is definitive. This is blatant government censorship and a violation of the first amendment.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago

Yeah, Legal Eagle covered this. Check out their channel on https://nebula.tv/

In short, ABC and Disney absolutely have standing to sue the government over this. If they want to.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Exactly. There are no grounds for this. Sue for what?

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sue for hurting his fragile fefe's.

Please do. Discovery will be a bitch.

Edit: Do not try to placate fascists and/or bullies. They always come back for more. ABC marked themselves as weak and will have to fight 10x as hard to get this to stop. If they don't, they will literally give Trump everything, and he will want more.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 78 points 1 week ago (12 children)

This is an impeachable offense. Will the Democrats even attempt performative politics?

Kimmel should do nothing but Epstein jokes, Trump will clam up real quick.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 68 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I mean, why wouldn't he? The last time he sued them, he ended up $16 million richer. The thing about stupid people is they generally learn by behavioural conditioning more than anything else. Rat push button, rat get reward, so rat push button again.

ABC thought they were buying safety for a mere $16 million, which was pocket change to them. In reality, all they did was tell Trump where the treats can be found. Now he's gonna be like a dog that found a cookie in the couch cushions one time, and so now goes rooting around in there every time he can because there might be another one.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

This is the most apt description of Trump and this situation I have ever seen.

Why isn't this orange fool in prison yet?

Why does Brazil have to school the United States on how a mature functioning constitutional democracy works?

Get fucked you nazi pedo little snowflake bitch

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sour grapes, Donald.

Release the Epstein files.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Man, his refusal to release the files has proven to be an excellent distraction from the literal fascist dictator shit he keeps doing.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 week ago

The party of “fuck your feelings,” people

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

What a snowflake lol

[–] televisionhead@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like seeing him whine and get upset. 🥤🍿

I mean if his ratings and profitability are so terrible, that's a negligible contribution at best.

Let’s sue Turning Point USA for continuing to push Charlie Kirk talking points since it’s a major illegal campaign contribution to the Republican Party! Not only is money speech, but speech is money now!
