Jimmy was a dumb political clownshow on stage

but Is this what the US Founding Fathers wanted with 'speech'....If they are dishonest because they give you 97% bad publicity and dont give you good press...I would say that would be grounds....then go for Liberalization of Drugs, Booze, Homosexuality, Gays, Lebsos...all religion ideas in moral relativism...bomb Venezuela boats say they have drugs, yet dont show evidence its now judge, jury, executioner
and deport citizens for asking about sandbox Palestine kids or criticism of a foreign country guy the sandbox war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu....Just how Apprentice man Zionist Trump thinks the Founders intended


I dont like Jimmy Kimmel I thought his crybaby rants were constant and they were dumb, he was very hollyweird political and as comedy I thought he was un-funny

but
Think about this for a a few seconds and all the nutjob leaders from the Middle East or North Africa or Latin America or Europe and Asia and their broadcasts...
What would Pinochet or Cambodia or Mexican political elite linked to drug runners or Vietnam ...what would they say? or Venezuela or France or Britain or Civil War Spain or Putin's spokesmen... what would they say... after coercing a company into doing their bidding.

some will cheer

but will this be different to any other Slippery Slope

We already had the 'Patriot Act' under little Bush and Cheney, then Obama came and if you didnt agree everything was 'Racist'


How will this be any different? and maybe there were other ways to do this

but never let a crisis go to waste!

Trump isn’t the first one to use the agency to punish critics. Every president has done so. There’s a clear way to end that abuse.

in the end Charlie Kirk wanted to debate and not censor

That Jimmy guy?
I seen a rumor on the interwebs his Grandma's brothers mothers sister might be Jewish and his Grandpa's sister's fathers brother might be Canadian
Do you think he will shapeshift like you and run away like yourself and kiss the ass of Netanyahu while Israelis wipe out the kids of Palestine or maybe he kiss the ass of Canada-Liberal, Conservative, Bloc Québécois, Singh's New Democratic street shitters or Greens and Le Royal Le Canada un pays d'Amérique septentrionale to have an escape route when it all goes bad in the USA?
Jimmy is also apparently German-Italian...the name used to be written and pronounced as Kümmel as in 'caraway' in old German...its probably to late to go back to Germany, they dont have the same fire and lightning energy they once had and Merkel took in too many islamics.

Trump is celebrating Charlie Kirk's death because it justifies Trump destroying Kirk and Trump's enemies.

Police are expecting around 100,000 people to attend Charlie Kirk’s memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025. The event is receiving Super Bowl-like security measures.

Signym, when I wrote "Charlie Kirk's death justifies Trump destroying Kirk and Trump's enemies", destroy means murder. Trump is already murdering people for the thrill of it:

A Rogue Nation on the High Seas

Trump is treating the military like his personal mercenaries.

Donald Trump is being cagey about how many people he’s ordered the U.S. Navy to kill on the high seas. The official toll from American military strikes on two boats suspected of running drugs from Venezuela is now 14, but a few days ago, Trump teased the possibility that a third boat had been “knocked off,” presumably on his orders.

The Trump administration’s justification for these strikes, such as it is, seems to be that any shipment of drugs connected to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is a direct threat to the United States. These “narco-terrorists” may therefore be destroyed on sight, and without the fuss of asking permission from the U.S. Congress. This argument reflects the president’s childlike but dangerous understanding of his role as commander in chief. The United States, once the leader of a global system of security and economic cooperation, is now acting like a rogue state on the high seas.

The White House position is wrong on many levels. I taught the rules and theories that govern the use of force to military officers at the Naval War College for many years, and every summer for two decades to civilians at Harvard; I always reminded students that international law and traditions require states to show that they are acting in some form of self-defense, either in response to an attack or to forestall more violence. Moreover, American law does not permit the president to designate people as terrorists and then declare open season on them in defiance of international agreements and without any involvement from Congress. Perhaps Trump’s people are watching too many Tom Clancy movies, but he cannot legally send the Navy out onto the world’s oceans as though they are seagoing sheriffs with satchels full of death warrants.

No one in the White House seems to care very much about the rules that govern killing people, at home or abroad, but these rules actually exist. International law allows interdicting contraband—drugs, weapons, captured human beings—under many circumstances, and countries execute such missions legally every day. These activities require great care to limit the danger to the military and the loss of civilian life, including diligently identifying suspect vessels, warning them to stop, and sometimes boarding them to identify and seize their cargo.

Military ships can engage these targets in combat under limited conditions. If they open fire on American vessels, for example, no one would deny that they’re signing their own death warrant. But in general, when states want to initiate the use of force in the international arena, their arguments are subject to what international law calls “the Caroli

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension — the direct result of an FCC threat to pull the licenses of networks that aired him — has shown us how authoritarianism can come to America.

I mean this literally. The specific threats that Federal Communications Commission head Brendan Carr made against networks, involving a little-used doctrine called “news distortion,” show how easy it is to weaponize vaguely worded statutes and the executive’s discretionary powers against the president’s enemies. Such tools can also be used to reward friends — to provide regulatory favors, like merger approvals and exemptions from tariffs — who toe a politically correct line.

This is how authoritarianism has taken root in other democracies, most notably Hungary under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. And from the get-go, President Donald Trump’s second term had been moving the United States down this road. But for much of the time his efforts appeared too haphazard and poorly planned to produce a consolidated authoritarian regime — meaning one that could durably compromise the basic ability of its opponents to contest elections under reasonably fair conditions.

But in the past few weeks, a series of developments — most notably, but not exclusively, the authoritarian energies unleashed after Charlie Kirk’s death — have revealed a disturbingly credible policy pathway to power consolidation. We can now see how American Orbánism could take full root before the 2028 elections. We now know what a Trump-led authoritarian state in America would look like — and how we would get there from here.

Such a future would unfold in roughly four parts.

Continuing from above.

Such a future would unfold in roughly four parts.

First, using hiring and firing powers to purge career civil servants from key agencies, like the Justice Department, and erode the traditional barriers preventing undue political influence on law enforcement and regulatory decisions. We saw this in the DOGE cuts, in the appointment of political hacks like Carr and Pam Bondi to top positions, and (most recently) Trump’s move to fire a federal prosecutor who refused to file politically motivated charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Second, using the power of these newly Trumpified agencies to target dissent in civil society — a broadening of the assaults on Ivy League universities. This would include following through on threats to use racketeering charges against liberal NGOs and going after other prominent critics the way they went after Kimmel.

Third, bullying and bribing large corporations until significant economic power is concentrated in the hands of regime allies dependent on the president’s goodwill for their survival. To a degree, this is already happening — see Trump’s habits of granted tariff exemptions to connected companies or using the threat of antitrust enforcement to bend CBS to its will. In an authoritarian America, such politicization would be expanded and deepened to the point where any corporation that crossed the White House would expect to pay a crippling financial cost.

Fourth, turn this accumulated power against the political opposition — turning elections into facially free contests where, in fact, Democrats face enormously unfair hurdles (and would likely be unable to govern even if they managed to succeed). This began with a nationwide push for mid-cycle redistricting, but would require further steps (like turning the Justice Department investigation into the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue into actual criminal charges).

At this point in the Trump administration, only the first has been accomplished to any significant degree. The efforts in other areas have been of limited effectiveness, stymied both by the courts and the Trump team’s incompetence.

But recently, and especially in the immediate wake of Kirk’s death, the administration has taken startling new swings in the second and third areas. If these efforts succeed, the fourth will become a live possibility: That is, we could be living in a country whose elections are no longer free and fair in any meaningful sense.

There is still plenty of time to prevent this future. Much depends on whether the Trump administration can get better at the nuts and bolts of lawfare, developing tactics that avoid legal hurdles or provoking a potent backlash. Acts of courage in Congress, the courts, the streets, and even corporate boardrooms could stymie Trump until at least the midterms.

But the risk of authoritarian consolidation is real and growing. Now that the endgame is clear, it’s time for all of us to start thinking about how to stop it.

“You thought you could kill Charlie Kirk? You have made him immortal,” said the White House’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller. “You have no idea the dragon you have awakened. You have no idea how determined we will be to save this civilization; to save the West; to save this republic.”

One speaker was clearer than Miller about who was to blame for Charlie Kirk’s death. “Charlie was my brother. Charlie was my commanding officer,” added Jack Posobiec, a right-wing influencer, in his tribute. “And we will never, ever let the left, the media or the Democrats forget the name of Charlie Kirk.”

Stephen Miller is a dragon dreaming of death camps for Democrats. Will Congressional Democrats vote for those Death Camps? Or will they refuse to pay for Stephen Miller’s hopes of killing them all? That gets decided shortly:

House Republicans approved a short-term government spending package Friday to avert a shutdown at month’s end, sending the bill to the Senate and setting up a clash with upper-chamber Democrats vowing to sink the measure.

The legislation was crafted by Republicans, without Democratic input, and that dynamic was reflected in the lopsided 217-212 vote, which fell largely along partisan lines.

Anne, when you saw the news about ABC and Jimmy Kimmel, what was the first thing that came to your mind? What did you think of?

Applebaum: The first thing . . . was the memory of Vladimir Putin pushing the satirical program Kukly, which means “puppets,” off the air in Russia. Dictators don’t like satire. They don’t like being made fun of. Putin in particular didn’t like this puppet that was made to look like him. And we even know how he did it. He sent a letter to the television station that had this satirical program and made them take it off.

In the United States, it went a little bit more circular. I mean, it was a threat from the FCC, you know, that was made on a podcast. And then it was interpreted by the corporate owners of a television station, and it led them to fire Jimmy Kimmel. But what’s important, I think, about this in both cases is that this is the way modern censorship works.
