And Joe Rogan was saying something similar about the Kimmel situation, and that MAGA better watch it, because if they get comfortable with government leaders calling for censorship, what happens when the other party is in control.

LOL.  LMAO, even.

Counterpoint: this approach is evidence of how utterly fucked we are as a society.  That's because the ONLY motivating factor for any policy action or item is "but what about ME?"  It's the "Leopards Eating People's Faces" problem, nationwide.

Government action X hurts the fuck out of person Y.  Who cares?  In fact, it's worse than "who cares" -- it's "awesome! Suck it, other guy!"  It's only when Government action X ends up hurting YOU that you say "wait, Government action X is bad!"

The dominant social dynamic in the US is -- for example -- people only worry about massive losses in the availability of healthcare when it hits them.  When THEIR hospital closes, when THEIR medicare coverage evaporates, etc.

The contra-approach -- one that is functionally dead in this country -- is that people should worry about massive losses in the availability of healthcare that hit their neighbors and fellow countrymen.  We should ALL want Lorene and Cletus to have access to basic healthcare, because a healthy commonwealth is a good thing.  It's an objectively good thing.  It doesn't matter whether it directly benefits me or not.

We should want a government that doesn't shit on basic constitutional rights because that is bad for the commonwealth, and destructive of basic governing principles that are social positives as a whole.

TLDR; the approach above is just more of "all that matters is the 'me' good, zero consideration for the common good."

100% Marge and Ted are looking at this from how it affects the 2026 midterms and them staying in power

White House could not fucking care less, because they will still be in power after 2026 and will just bypass Congress if it flips hands and rule by fiat.

@Nicole44   your aging female brain makes your eye witness God experience suspect - just like all the murdering you do.

 

here, this is what men call "logic"    I pray you can understand.    It is not what you KNOW, it is what you can prove, right?   So, I advise you not to meet me in the creek while I am processing a victim....Your Jesus is a Lie.  Admit it.

Sinclair backs down. Reportedly ABC threatened to remove college football and Monday Night Football from their affiliates. 

 

In the name of Jesus, or dollars, amen.

Pussies

Pro tip: They all are.  Every. Last.  Fucking.  One.

So, what do you do when pussies try to bully you?  Stand up, go right at 'em, and punch 'em in the fucking mouth.  Again, a solid plan that most of us figure out by 5th grade, but a shitload of American businesses and institutions just can't seem to figure out.  You don't just stand up, you attack.  They fold.  Because they are all the most whiny, tittybaby, gutless coward fucking snowflake pussies the world has ever seen.  So start treating them like it.

Sports always win. Can you imagine the Finebaum callers because they couldn’t watch Bama on their local ABC?

So I guess the FCC isn't going to block Nexstar acquisition of Tegna after all?

Nexstar hasn't caved yet, I don't think.  They'll continue to kneel and suck off the king to get what they want.

I was in a small town in Montana at a bar last night and 4 separate groups walked out within 15 minutes (with only 8 in the restaurant bar) because the bar didn’t have Prime (a $600 subscription). Seems the restaurant bar is screwed with either decision as the local population is tiny (once Beartooth Pass closes in September) and tourists can’t get to Yellowstone.

I can somewhat understand a bar in a small town not having a $600 annual subscription for a handful of games per year.  I bet they won't have Peacock for the one playoff game on there either. 

But Phyllis from Mulga (RIP) expects to turn on her TV to the local ABC and see the Bama game on ABC, whether she got rabbit ears, traditional cable or streaming cable.  ABC pulling college sports from Nexstar and Sinclair owned ABC stations would lead to riots in the south. 

Just for tomorrow: 

ND/Arky
LSU/Ole Miss
Alabama/Georgia

Sinclair owns ABC stations in:

Birmingham-Tuscaloosa (LOL)
Mobile, AL
Little Rock, AR
Macon, GA

(Also special shout out to Colorado - Sinclair owns no local stations in the state)

Bullies deserve to get their asses beat. Flip the page on them, and they are incapable of handling it. 

I had one in high school freshman year. Motherfucker was huge and I was still a scrawny puke with barely a hair on my nuts. That being said I was already a mean crazy fuck from my older cousins beating my shit on the reg.

I started calling the bully Booger after seeing him eating his nose goblins at lunch. This was after he  had been knocking me into lockers, frogging my arm, all the bully shit.

One day he slaps in the back of the head then walks away with his back to me. Bad idea. I jumped on his back then hooked his nose with my fingers while choking him with a head lock. Thats when the school vp pulled me off.

Got three swats as punishment, but he never fucked with me or anyone else again.

Tl/dr: If someone bullies you fuck them up anyway you know how.

This.  Similar experience.  Other students pulled me off of him.  Principal found out about it later, called me into the office, asked me what happened.  I looked her in the eye and said "he kept fucking with me."  She nodded, and told me I could go.  He never once messed with me again.

And the bully?  He grew up to be a POS racist cop who got fired for some sort of corrupt bullshit.  That's right, he was too shitty to be a cop.

Bullies are shit.  Treat them like it.

After the fight the entire school started calling him Booger. Everyone he bullied smelled blood in the water and took their shot at him.

Hopefully Sinclair becomes this nations Booger and people realize we dont have to take their bullshit.
