Can't wait for Vance or Musk to come to Europe to give us another one of their lectures on free speech... Because it's only free speech if it's hate speech, right lads?
Just put his interview on TV, and openly invite Paxton in for equal time. If he accepts - AWESOME! Interview the shit out of him. If he doesn't, tell the FCC to go fuck themselves, they tried.
I encourage everyone to go watch it
I can’t tell if this is a Talarico/Dem stunt or if the republicans are really that dense and don’t understand the Streisand effect.
or if the republicans are really that dense and don’t understand the Streisand effect.
That's where I'm putting my bet.
The same thing happened earlier this year with Colbert interviewing a political candidate
The same candidate! It was also Talarico.
I know that’s why it’s confusing.
His poll numbers skyrocket after that incident. He got a lot of free publicity as the “candidate republicans fear most”.
And then they decided “fuck it let’s do that again???”
onto the web it goes, then
Might as well air it. I doubt Trump could shit his britches more than he already does 🚼
That's wild. What event was that from?
A funeral, but it's like 1 of many "OMG I smell shit" reaction faces from people near this shit demon. Just a few days ago he shit his pants again and the couch fucker got a big swift of it and it's a hilarious video.

They said the Dems would,
Take away first amendment,
Nope it was maga
You mean the free speech people are going to end free speech? Never!
You mean the Don't Tread On Me group are going to take a woman's right to choose away? Never!
You mean the anti-pedophile movement is going to protect pedophiles? Never!
You mean a corrupt businessman is going to enrich himself through the presidency? Never!
You mean the guy that wants to go to Mars is actually a space Nazi? Never!
Shit gets old after awhile.
Haiku in the wild
Almost!
Kimmel should’ve called his bluff and done it anyway.
Don’t kowtow to these cowards.
Sit there for 20 minutes repeating "Trump wouldn't allow this to be broadcast, here's what to search for on YouTube."
Every time you obey these fascists in any way, it empowers them. While I appreciate his sensitivity towards the local networks (not so much towards ABC), every time you cave to these shits, it empowers them even more.
He missed an opportunity to create a lot more enemies for this administration. Everyone public figure should be giving a defiant middle finger to them. Trey and Matt did it and they’re billionaires for it.
But more people are going to watch it now

Trey and Matt own South ~~Park~~ America. I'm pretty sure Kimmel doesn't own his Late Show, which is why he has to walk a tightrope
It’s not up to Kimmel
[edit: whoops, thread has already come and gone anyway lol, feel free to ignore, I'd just delete (my own comment) cuz useless but that feels sneaky and weird]
Kinda is if Kimmel says "I'm not coming to work anymore until that goes on the air"
What is the edit about? Did something happen?
Haha totally sounds that way, my bad! Nah I just have a tendency to come along commenting on stale ass threads is all, just indicating I did that here.
I see. No worries.
You’d be surprised. Some of the more active threads will keep getting new comments for a few days. This one is only 15 hours old and still near the top of All-Active.
Yeah, cuz of dorks like me and the ensuing "discussion" 😂
Nah all jokes aside I get it, it's not that fast paced and it's a small place. I sometimes do it way more awkwardly but this wasn't really that, you right.
Only way is elbows up. Give the bully a bloody nose. It doesn't matter if you lose. He'll think twice next time and you might inspire others to stand up too.
I love how the freedom of speech crowd are the first to deny others th same.
nothing scares these christofascist clowns like an actual Christian using Christ's teachings to tell everyone there's nothing Christian about Trump and his ilk, and I am 100% here for it. That's the only way we're ever going to deprogram a large portion of these MAGA morons, whenever this bullshit ends.
You greatly overestimate the power of Christ.

They seem to be incredibly scared of Talarico's message, given this is the second time this has happened to him specifically. They should be scared, because his message is fucking incredible
Paradox of Tolerance. Fascists leverage an open society to build political support, then close off the society as soon as they're in power.
Nazi America.
It will probably get more views on YouTube anyway
Literally what happened with the same politician being interviewed by Colbert during his primary. FCC told them they couldn't air the interview, they posted it on YouTube, Streisand Effect happens and it's one of the most viewed Colbert videos ever. It won him that election. I think Jasmine Crockett was a better candidate and she may have stood a chance had she gotten that level of exposure.
That’s the problem. There are a lot of people on Earth 2 who only get information the old-fashioned way. So Internet-savvy people, who probably already know how to find this kind of information, will be happy to have another choir-friendly preacher, but the people who most need to hear this now never will.
Literal evidence of chilling free speech. He is self censoring in response to threats of legal consequences by the government. It's the easiest, slam dunk court win on infringing on constitutional rights, but this executive branch and these judges are so extremist that it's still not a guaranteed win. This election really could be the last chance to reclaim some semblance of freedom.
Make it public on yt and others like places, put link onto every actual show episode.
No air on tv, fine, making it public is not the same? (actually unsure, how local law sees that)
There seem to be some similarities to the Colbert incident. Talarico? They want to censor Talarico's views?
I watch it primarily on YouTube anyways so that works for me.
But still, what a fucking insecure rapist loser trump is.
