Yanno what? I've got time...
Not that I imagine this will be time well spent since I won't change anything by writing this, but you were perceptive enough to notice the change and you asked a question. Even if you followed it up with whatever bullshit you posted that I didn't read, as per usual, you asked a good question.
Why did I change my signature? It used to read Democrats are the Party of Murder., and now it reads For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged. In dreams until my death, I will wander on.
There are actually three posts I made last night that I would like you to read if you have the time. The first was a very ill-timed ask of everyone here what their predictions for Jimmy's show was going to be, both short-term and long-term.

* My apologies for not toning down the rhetoric for you, but if you manage to just disregard the insults along the way, I think you'll find my prediction for how the monologue was going to go down was spot on. And mark my words, one day, especially if last night was the beginning of a turning point in America and Jimmy does the right thing with the rare gift he was given last night, it will come out that somebody high up in the "old school" Democratic Party wrote a majority of that monologue. My money would be on Rahm Emanuel, even if he wasn't actually the person who wrote it, and it would be brought to the "top of mind" for voters when he launches his campaign for President.
That's not the important bit though. Did you read my $1.4 Trillion PowerBall pick?

After proof reading and making changes, I put an edit on the end saying that I really liked that scenario. One where Trump was actually invited onto the show and Donny and Jimmy had a Ceasefire.
Quote:
I've got my fingers crossed that this is more or less the way things go down tonight. I didn't win the big PowerBall a few weeks ago when I played for the first time in quite a few years, but maybe I win this one...?
It sounds kind of nice...
Waking up a few tens of millions of people the furthest on either side just for a moment to slip that little seed in their brains that we can disagree with each other, but everybody we disagree with isn't automatically Satan.
Am I wrong? Doesn't that sound nice?
I thought it sounded kind of nice.
And then the monologue went down almost exactly as I originally predicted that it would. (I can't say anything about the rest of the show because I didn't watch it myself and I refuse to watch anybody else's take on it).
I feel my review of his monologue was fair and I stand by every word of it. Even appreciating the Tylenol joke near the beginning.

The Charlie Kirk hagiography shows our society's empty worship of form. He held debates, so he was a champion of free speech. Never mind that these were rigged events where he'd tempt unwary college kids to spar with him and then humiliate them with cheap rhetorical tricks and put the footage online.
This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn't name. A 31-year-old professional content creator baiting 19-year-old amateurs into the format of his choice isn't debate, it's crowd work. It's debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.
Conservatives recognise that their biggest threat is an educated population. Shapiro ran the same grift and failed spectacularly against anyone who’d actually graduated. Another notable point is that Charlie was at Universities debating the students, not the professors.
Charlie didn't even rig the debates that well. He just started talking louder or some other aggressive tactic when he started losing.
His literal last words were these bullshit deflection tactics meant to dance around the actual issue and question posed to him. Like to be trying to avoid talking about gun violence and then get shot was so on the nose it would be cliche in a TV show but hey we're in hell so anything goes.

I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his "talent" was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we're going to test ABC out on this. Let's see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.

The surrender of America’s elites
By Adam Serwer | September 25, 2025, 7:31 AM ET

“We have to speak out against this bully,” Jimmy Kimmel said in an emotional monologue after returning to ABC on Tuesday. The network had suspended him, under pressure from the Trump administration, for remarks last week in which Kimmel appeared to inaccurately suggest that Charlie Kirk’s killer was a conservative. Kimmel choked up when discussing the violence and praised Kirk’s widow, Erika.
But he also warned his viewers—an audience four times larger than usual—that Trump and his cronies are threatening free speech in all its forms: “Our leader celebrates Americans losing their jobs, because he can’t take a joke,” Kimmel said. But “he’s not stopping. And it’s not just comedy.” True to form, Trump has since threatened to sue ABC for bringing Kimmel back, as if it were illegal not to like him.
Kimmel’s refusal to capitulate stands out because so many other well-situated people—those with the resources, platform, and power to stand up to the president, including, initially, the leaders of ABC—have surrendered, withdrawn, or become Trump sycophants themselves. One by one, American leaders supposedly committed to principles of free speech, due process, democracy, and equality have abandoned those ideals when menaced by the Trump administration. These cascading acts of cowardice from the people best positioned to resist Trump’s authoritarian power grabs have made Trump seem exponentially more powerful than he actually is, sapping strength from others who might have discovered the courage to stand up. Defending democracy requires a collective refusal to acquiesce to lawless behavior from many different sectors of society. All of these powerful people trying to save their own skin have effectively multiplied Trump’s attacks on constitutional government, by enhancing a false sense of inevitably and invincibility.
ABC and its parent company, Disney, had been menaced into suspending Kimmel by Brendan Carr, the head of the Federal Communications Commission. “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said on a right-wing podcast.
He later attempted to walk back what he’d said—despite what your lying ears may have heard, and despite his gloating on social media. As it turns out, you can’t sell your soul to Trump and keep your spine; they’re a package deal. Nonetheless, the bullying was effective. Kimmel may have returned to ABC, but two of the network’s biggest broadcasters, Sinclair and Nexstar, are still refusing to air him on their stations.
If Trump has been right about anything, it is that there is a deep rot in the upper echelons of American society, among people who have been put in positions of power and leadership. Trump understands that many of these people are weak, that their public commitment to civic principles can crumble under sustained pressure. In many cases, those folding have had ample resources to resist Trump’s shakedowns but haven’t been brave enough to do so. They are, in a word, chickenshit.
I want to distinguish between chickenshit and cowardice. Fear is part of human existence. Bravery is the overcoming of fear, not its absence. Acts of cowardice can be provoked by genuine danger—think of a deserting soldier fleeing the peril of the battlefield. When you’re chickenshit, you capitulate to avoid the mere possibility of discomfort, let alone something resembling real risk. Disney is one of the largest companies in the world, with a devoted following and a market cap bigger than many countries’ stock markets. It did not have to cave.
Big companies and their CEOs have cowered before Trumpist intimidation, trying to ease his temper by settling frivolous lawsuits over “bias” or slathering the president in juche-style flattery. Media companies have settled First Amendment cases they were likely to win in order to curry favor or protect their parent company’s commercial interests. Newspap

Vice President JD Vance has urged Democrats to "stop telling your supporters that everybody who disagrees with you is a Nazi" if they want to end political violence in the United States.
"If you want to stop political violence stop attacking our law enforcement as the Gestapo, if you want to stop political violence stop telling your supporters that everybody who disagrees with you is a Nazi."
House Democrat Eric Swalwell asked: "Why did @JDVance call Trump 'America's Hitler.'"
Vance sent a message to a friend in which he said: "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a****** like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler."
Trump also has a track record of describing political opponents as "fascists."
Speaking in November 2023 he said: "We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections."
During a Minnesota campaign event in August 2020 Trump said: "Democrats want to...replace American freedom with left-wing fascism. Fascists, they are fascists. Some of them, not all of them."
Canadian political commentator Marlene Robertson said: "Vance you called Trump America's Hitler before anyone else."
Columbia Journalism School teacher Marlow Stern commented: "The only major politicians who've called trump hitler: j.d. vance and rfk jr."

A conservative explains what Kirk meant to the MAGA movement — and how it’s reacting to his death.

It is impossible, I think, to grasp the terrible consequences of Charlie Kirk’s death without understanding who he was in life.
Liberals had a dim view of that track record — focusing on his often-offensive radio broadcasts and contributions to President Donald Trump’s authoritarian project (like sending seven buses to the January 6 protest). However, to conservatives, he was something very different: not just an effective political organizer but a living symbol of democratic politics done the right way.
I must admit that this second perspective doesn’t come naturally to me. But I wanted to understand it better, so I reached out to Tanner Greer — a conservative author and essayist who had written brilliantly about what Kirk meant to the right on his blog The Scholar’s Stage.
In his piece, Greer argues that Kirk was “the indispensable man” on the populist right: Nobody else had his genius for organization or his extensive connections with nearly everyone of note in the MAGA movement. On an ideological level, per Greer, Kirk represented a vision of politics in which the populist right competes on the left’s turf, from universities to elections, and wins in direct political combat. In this, he stood against MAGA’s most radical anti-democratic voices.

irk/
So when he was killed, Greer explains, his many friends and allies saw it as proof that the broader left was now incapable of coexisting with even someone as genial and small-d democratic as Kirk — giving rise to the vehement, even authoritarian, response of people like Stephen Miller and Vice President JD Vance. Now, much of the right believes it’s their turn to seize control of culture, to have a version of the left’s “George Floyd moment” of 2020.
I didn’t agree with much of the thinking Greer described. But I found his explanation of it, to borrow a phrase, “
