If ABC had been concerned about ratings and/or advertisers, they'd simply have not renewed his contract when it comes up for renewal in May next year. Also, if it was about ratings, the company who said they wouldn't run the show wouldn't have agreed to put Kimmel back on if he apologises and pays money to Kirk's family.

Yes, you can just read the words of the head of the FCC:
"Frankly, when you see stuff like this - I mean, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the F.C.C. ahead."

But the 13th one was chosen about two millenia ago. For supposed Christians who live by the bible they really are very ignorant of Christianity.

Care to quote a few of the lies he's told? Should be easy for you to do that, no?


But they aren't, they're bowing to threats from the FCC and from demands from two of the companies that own their local affiliates and need FCC approval to merge.


And now you're just lying: Kimmel didn't say that and neither did the murderer's mother.

Here's a comparison for you:
- One host called for the mass murder of homeless people in America, saying "Or involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em."
- Another host said "The Maga gang [is] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Can you guess which host's network was threatened with the stripping of their licence if they let him appear again?

I do hope not, I'd be woken up by Just Dance Vance f*cking the couch in the middle of the night.

Of course you have no comment about his claims that freedom of speech in Europe is under threat, just before the Trump appointed head of the FCC told Disney and ABC that they'd have their licences taken away if a particular comedian told any more jokes on their channels.

Not according to Just Dance Vance. He said

But then he also said (in the same speech that):

So he's clearly a lying couch-f*cker.

To be fair, there's no shortage of reasons to laugh at such idiots. For example the way they're so "F*ck your feelings!" when it comes to insulting other people but when somebody dares to tell jokes about their hypocrisy, they morph into special snowflakes and demand that the right to free speech be stripped from those who hurt their feelings.

Thanks, I know how much accurate quotes annoy those who want our rights to be taken away.

Can you guess who recently said this?

To be fair, they're also not going to get laid after college. We really should encourage more US colleges (and high schools) to open chapters of Turning Point, it would be absolutely excellent at getting certain traits out of the human gene pool.


I see you're really embracing the cancel culture and censorship of voices you don't approve of. But don't worry, some of us will still stand up for free speech.

Taco Don's full reply was
"I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less.
The radicals on the right are radical because they don't want to see crime ... The radicals on the left are the problem - and they are vicious and horrible and politically savvy. They want men in women's sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders. The worst thing that happened to this country."

Even I know that! The correct answer is neither.

No, he most certainly won't, because incels don't have kids. It's a major design flaw for them but an excellent self-defence mechanism for the human race.


Technically he's right. But a world that has one fewer racist than it had is hard to accurately describe as a worse world. And it very much seems that this Kirk bloke was a racist.


When he was asked about it the day after he responded by talking about his ballroom.


I don't. I hope he can't at all and has to retire from politics due to stress, with his role being taken by his wife.

One person being murdered for political reasons is by definition smaller scale than the murder of two people and attempted murder of three others for political reasons. But Republicans have already forgotten about the murder of the Minnesota house speaker and her husband and three other attempted murders by a Trump supporter.

It's very obvious that he doesn't want Belarus to be absorbed into Russia. If that happens he becomes just another oligarch but also one with a very high chance of falling out of a window soon.

How many people are you OK with being incited to commit mass murder? Or is the number less relevant than the act?


You just gave a link which refers to ignorance and claim it supports the stance that grooming was "allowed" as "a choice". But one cannot allow something that one is ignorant of, and one cannot choose something which one is ignorant of. You were to say that "Not paying sufficiently close attention to the problem of sexual abuse is a choice", you might have a leg to stand on, but that isn't what you chose to say.

Sorry, but the thick southern racists are far less likely to change their vote to Labour (although they are now in large numbers changing to support Reform).


Believing utter bollocks spread by racists is also a choice.


Actually that was an obligation. Unless you'd prefer to live in a world where inciting mass murder and spreading racial hatred go unpunished (which I'm sure you don't when you actually think about it).

Where would you rather be for a year: an active war zone, followed by the rest of your life there, or a British prison camp, followed by possibly the rest of your life in the UK? So, where's the deterrent?


When the UK benefitted from the Dublin mechanism the numbers crossing in small boats was in the dozens each year (if any at all), now it's in the tens of thousands. That said, the small boats crossings are little more than a distraction from the overall numbers, which are themselves just a distraction from bigger issues.

Migrants in the UK are just the latest in a long line of scapegoats on whom the ills of society are blamed. The UK certainly does have problems, but most of those can be attributed to two things: Brexit and failure to collect taxes. Brexit has caused a 4.5% drop in UK GDP, but Starmer won't even mention it, for fear of upsetting the thick northern racists who now swing elections. And the rich frankly take the p!ss when it comes to not paying UK tax. That c*nt Bamford alone owes half a billion quid in unpaid income tax, and the Radford pr!ck saved seven billion by officially moving to Monte Carlo but still has his centre of vital interests in the UK.

Yes, but only if they want to appeal on certain grounds. If they just want to appeal because they want to go to Windsor Castle, no, they don't have a right to appeal. If they just want to appeal because, for example, they have been refused under some aspects of the EU Settlement Scheme or because they have claimed asylum, yes, they do have a right to appeal.


That might sound tough and so on, but do you have any idea how much it would cost?


The problem is that the only proven way to stop the boats is to rejoin the Dublin mechanism, but that involves rejoining the EU and the thick northern racists who decide any election these days don't want that.

Despite the obvious throwaway comment about comedy value mostly, I'd say it's because Lukashenko is getting worried about what happens after Putler falls and is also worried about the effects that sanctions are having on Belarus. Also, your assessment of the exercise this year is a bit off: this year the scenario was the Belarus army resisting an invasion from an un-named country and waiting for support from another un-named country. Not even a thousand of North Nigeria's least drunk troops could be spared from the grinder in Ukraine to talk part in the exercises.

Personally I'd quite like to see Poland take the **** by holding an exercise that aims to free Polish-speakers in an un-named country from the oppressive regime there and then fight off an attack from drunken orcs sent to support the poundshop dictator.
