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.

Paradox of Tolerance. Fascists leverage an open society to build political support, then close off the society as soon as they're in power.

They want freedom for their speech, not anyone else’s.

They never mean anything they say, and all their "principles" are just bullshit. They never cared about your freedom of speech. I bet a sizeable amount of BUT MAH FREEZED PEACH asshats would be ecstatic if Jimmy Kimmel were to be given a death sentence for offending the republicons.

They don't believe words have meaning, they're only to be used as cudgels and shields.

Sit there for 20 minutes repeating "Trump wouldn't allow this to be broadcast, here's what to search for on YouTube."

It’s not up to Kimmel

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.

Maybe, to me this reads as strategic from Disney lawers to clearly establish active and ongoing harm for the lawsuit they're in with the administration right now.

Haiku in the wild

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.

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.

How far are we from youtube censoring stuff like this that the admin asks them to?

We really need to further grow some alternates, youtube is too large to trust, even if google didn't own them.

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.

He's about to turn Texas purple, I can imagine the pearl clutching

Makes sense to me! As opposed to the fake Christians and Christofascists, here you have a real Christian and a more or less Christosocialist

It would be kinda awesome to have an image of Jimmy with duct tape over his mouth with a menacing Trump and Carr behind him and then the message to check YouTube for the actual show/interview where they can't be censored by Trump (unless he cries to Google, which he might.)

I'm pretty sure they always shoot extra and edit down for time.

The same thing happened earlier this year with Colbert interviewing a political candidate

or if the republicans are really that dense and don’t understand the Streisand effect.

That's where I'm putting my bet.

"It sounds like a whisper"

From how I understand it, the equal time rules gives opposition 7days to request time. It's not mandatory that the TV station reach out to make it happen.

Go ahead and offer it then? Paxton is a coward who won't go near Kimmel. He already won't debate Talarico. His election strategy is to be quiet and unnoticed.

It's ridiculous that they will consider Jimmy Kimmel a news program but then go call Fox News an entertain ment program.

I don't know if it's the case here, but with Colbert's identical issue (it was even about Talarico, but during the primaries), Colbert not only had offered, but had actually held 2 interviews with Crockett (Talarico's primary opponent).

I say do it. The more time you can put these ghouls in front of people and ask them questions they won't want to answer the better.

Wait, wtf? I didn’t know it was resurrected as a green slimy zombie. How can the equal time rule apply to comedy but not news? That’s the complete opposite of how it always worked
