And yet you remained silent. You love Trump. Only logical conclusion.

He explicitly stated he does not have studies or data to back up his planned changes to the recommended vaccine schedule.

Naturally, because that would require a triple digit IQ and actually being informed.

Despite the current Administration's censorship efforts, this just doesn't have the same impact it used to have when the Moral Majority pressured networks and sponsors to cancel programming 40+ years ago. Kimmel and Colbert will simply switch to streaming platforms such as Netflix or go the Conan O'Brien route and do a podcast for 9M+ subscribers. Conan earns about $15M per year with his Conan Needs A Friend podcast, which is equivalent to what Kimmel is paid for his late-night show.

All it really does is make network television slightly less relevant than it is now.

hearing trumpers praise the elimination of free speech after years of reeeeing over the mere thought, is a symphony of awesomeness to my ears

Why do they matter? I thought only national figures mattered. I guess that's true unless you need to validate your belief that "all Democrats are evil" by pulling out random radicals from podcasts and streaming platforms and hold them up as mainstream.

This thread has gotten predictably ridiculous. Apparently politically motivated assassinations can be dismissed as long as the victims aren't sufficiently high profile, and joking about Pelosi's husband getting attacked (with some wishing Nancy was home and both ended up dead) isn't even relevant or visible.

Crime statistics that clearly show right wing violence outstrips left wing are dismissible because of a vast left wing conspiracy.

Literally nobody here has changed their minds on anything, but the right has become even MORE radical and authoritarian while blaming the "other side" for making them lean into the impulses they've badly wanted to lean into and have been manufacturing consent for by crying victim for a generation.

All because a black guy was elected president.

What I just read is a bunch of finger pointing without any accountability for your side while trying to say the right doesn't take any accountability.

Remember when repubs threw their support behind the baker that didn't want bake a cake for a gay couple because of the 1st amendment

there's no trying. the facts and actions are there to prove the right doesn't. hell, the gop still hasn't taken responsibility for 1/6. in fact they glorify it.

You remember when Rosanne Barr posted boob tweets about Valerie Jarrett? After Iger warned her about her tweeting? Tweets that maybe "The Mouse" didn't want associated with its brand?

There is no evidence that Obama had to call Iger for him to make this call. Roseanne Barr circa 2018 wasn't worth the trouble she was causing.

but of course, procus would take and promote the words of rosanne barr, an obviously sane person.

The 2018 tweet and show cancellation

In May 2018, Barr posted a tweet comparing Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to former President Barack Obama, to an ape and associating her with the Muslim Brotherhood. 

• The tweet was met with widespread public outrage and condemnation.

• ABC promptly canceled the Roseanne reboot, despite its high ratings, calling Barr's statement "abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values".

• Barr offered several explanations for her actions, including that she was "Ambien tweeting" under the influence of the sleep medication. The drug's manufacturer publicly refuted that racism is a known side effect.

• Her co-stars publicly disavowed her comments, and the show was later retooled into a spinoff called The Conners, which killed off her character. 

Other notable controversies

• NSDAP photoshoot (2009): Barr posed for a satirical Jewish magazine called Heeb while dressed as Adolf Hitler, holding a tray of "burnt Jew cookies." As a Jewish woman, she claimed it was satire, but it drew extensive criticism.

• National anthem performance (1990): At a baseball game, Barr delivered a deliberately off-key rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner," followed by spitting and grabbing her crotch. Her performance was widely booed and condemned as "disgraceful" by then-President George H. W. Bush.

• George Zimmerman's parents' address (2012): In the wake of Trayvon Martin's death, Barr tweeted what she claimed was the home address of George Zimmerman's parents. The family sued her for invasion of privacy, but the case was later dismissed.

• Spreading conspiracy theories (2018): Barr has frequently used her social media to promote far-right conspiracy theories, including those from the QAnon movement. Before her show's cancellation, she accused Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg of giving a NSDAP salute.

• Jeffrey Epstein case (2025): In July 2025, Barr criticized Donald Trump for questioning whether people still cared about the Jeffrey Epstein case, posting on X, "Yes, we still care about Epstein. Is there a time to not care about child sex trafficking?".

• Comments on podcast (2023): On a 2023 podcast appearance, she made a sarcastic and misinterpreted comment about the Holocaust, which was widely circulated in a deceptively edited video. She later clarified that her statement was meant as a critique of censorship.

And do tell all about the left taking accountability. More finger pointing they don't take accountability while the left doesn't.

you can go research that claim if you want, i was responding to your statement about my own party.

Again, I love the they never take accountability while we ignore the left doesn't either.

remember when Roseanne tweeted that a white house adviser was "the mix between the planet of the apes and Muslim brotherhood", which while nonsensical is absolutely raycist AF, then blamed Ambien?

It's almost as if there's a reason these celebrities that are fading into obscurity/getting caught being raycist shitstains are turning to MAGA. Unless any of you all really want to argue that the reason the likes of Roseanne an Rob Schneider weren't getting shows are because they were victims of cancel culture, and not that they're terrible hacks and frankly crap human beings.
