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!

Trump administration ally and Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy compared the removals to the temporary suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who was briefly taken off the air following pressure from the Trump administration and local affiliates.

Look Vivie, I get it. Critical thinking is something that you struggle with. Sure, Jimmy Kimmel, Nickie Fuentes, and Alex Jonesie are look very similiar with being taken off the air. However, they are not even fucking close.

Jimmy Kimmel was cancelled cause Vivie, your pillow buddy Trumpie pressured ABC and Disney to cancel Jimmy Kimmel. Then you had FCC Chair make mob like threats. This was all over a milquetoast joke. When the government attempts to pressure private individuals on what is acceptable speech, that is a violation of the first amendment.

Private companies can censor people cause the first amendment doesn't apply. However, large media corporations is a threat to democracy. However, Vivie you don't care about that.

“Our country is at its best when we’re able to hear one another. Nick Fuentes & Jimmy Kimmel probably don’t like me, for different reasons,” Ramaswamy wrote on X. “I don’t care. It’s still un-American to muzzle the peaceful expression of opinions. And no, that’s not a legal point, it’s a cultural point.”

Now, you are being delusional Vivie. Yes, Jimmy Kimmel doesn't like because of your politics. Nickie Fuentes doesn't like cause of your skin colour. I'm fairly sure that Jimmy Kimmel doesn't want to take away your rights and throw you in a death camp. Nickie Fuentie on the other hand, would love to take away your rights and throw you into a death camp.

Also, I think the things Kimmel said to get suspended, compared to the things that Jones and Fuentes say on a regular basis, is pretty important.

He's not delusional nor stupid. He's just another in a long line of grifters rising to the top. He knows exactly what he's doing and sadly the dumbass people in Ohio will more than likely elect him governor. Because we long ago abandoned any sense of reasoning and critical thinking.
