Kimmel was suspended, but it often happens when unpopular views are shown to the public. Think Roseanne. Think Smothers Brothers ( dating myself. .. Vietnam War era reference). Both sides of the "aisle" are guilty. The HUGE difference is that this ongoing suppression is clearly targeted at a huge segment of America and the grand perpetrator of this is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. As America suffers through so many domestic and international crises, djt feels the most dire emergency is to worry about his image and stifle those in the entertainment industry, particularly comedians who have his number. For all the wailing, the uber-right are certainly using and benefiting from the tragic death of Mr. Kirk. Much like using trump's bloody ear as a rallying cry. Mourn Mr. Kirk,  certainly, but use it as a chance to overcome the division as opposed to rallying against fellow Americans. It could be a post 9-11 communal feeling or a genocidal approach such as when Custer and his troops were foolishly killed leading to retaliatory events like Wounded Knee. Your choice.

I am trying this page for my political ramblings, as I no longer trust the Meta platform for some of my posts. I will use FB to simply post innocuous things. Too many find fault with what I say, so I don't want to "subject" them to anything which might hurt their feelings. Enjoy and feel free to respond. Thanks!  Just for kicks to start, here is my favorite poster Heather Cox Richardson's latest.  HCR for today

So now trump protesters can be investigated. I get it if he was threatened, but he calls for this because a few women verbally called him out when he was making a PR visit to a restaurant. He was offended and feels these few ladies should be arrested. Mr. Thin-Skin can't deal with anybody not kneeling down while sucking up to him. I'd be honored to have him get upset at me for protesting in his presence. Please come to middle GA !

 The silencing of media continues. First Stephen Colbert is canned by CBS despite being the highest rated. trump has been after the Big Three networks. He hates CBS and lawsuits and threats from djt led to CBS dropping him. Now his hatred for the other highly rated talk show host has led to the suspension of Jimmie Kimmel. Not fired yet, but unless he bows to trump, chances are good he'll be gone as well. Money and fear of trump is again the reason. For Nexstar to be able to proceed with their merger, they need support from the FCC (who's a trump appointee) and that won't happen as long as Kimmel is allowed to come after trump. So, bottom line, is that this administration continues the bullying and silencing of anti-trump speak. Another page from the fascist handbook. Silence the opposition in any way you can. Adults used to be able to simply not watch something they don't like. Now Daddy T feels he can't trust adults and he makes his move. We're just at the beg...
