Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Hence why Brendan "Freeze Speech" Carr is going after the license via early renewal this time.

Because it's dumb, he didn't make an assassination joke, he made a joke about Trump being old and Melania being much younger, waiting for him to die because he's old and not in great health.

It also caused them a big headache and cost them money the first time around.

Edit: Also, he didn't make an assassination joke last time, either.

Eli5? How does saying she looks like an expectant widow equal an assassination joke?

Yeah, "because it's dumb" doesn't hold much weight when it was dumb the first time.

He made the joke a couple days before the shooting too.

Typical bitch ass hypocritical republican bullshit. Anything they can try to steal more power or control is always their top choice; morals be damned.

And, y'know: because he's a pedophile, a rapist, a thin-skinned overgrown gassy toddler, and just a deeply unpleasant person to be around... Of course Melania can't wait until he's gone!

I love how one of The Man Show guys is our bellwether of free speech.

Fucking looking glass ain’t in it

He's a shit comedian, but he also snuggled up to MAGA types like Adam Carolla for years. Look at old YouTube vids, Kid Rock was frequently a guest.

Good. I can't stand Jimmy Kimmel, but he should be allowed to tell his lame jokes with zero interference from anyone in government. Trump is just a punk ass pussy bitch bully with skin the thickness of paper. Get fucked you fascist pedo cocksucker.

Isn't he gone in a few weeks, anyway? I thought he was retiring in May.

That's Colbert, over at CBS. "Retiring" isn't exactly the right word, though...
