Yet another thread where MAGAtes show their inability to be honest.

I beginning to think it's a curated defect.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Exact quote from Kimmel.
"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang 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."
Not talking heads. MAGA gang. He may have excluded the wholesome lovelies blaming a groyper? Know anyone that was actually doing that? Anyone? Did Kimmel have them in mind?
Thanks, Whiskey. I appreciate you reminding us that Kimmel said nothing insensitive about Charlie Kirk. Instead, he said something factually true about MAGA folk in the aftermath of Kirk's murder.

I am sure that, if you want to get on live tv and make fun of people blaming groypers, you will have very few people giving a crap or complaining to your employer. Maybe Trump will hire you to work on Project 2025!

I see great things in your future. Pretty black uniforms. The chance to stomp on people you hate . . . .

"[b]We made the decision[/b] to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive," the Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC, said in a statement on Monday. "We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday."
Yes! Corporations always tell the truth. Good call, Markk.

Hey dummy, try reading what they post and actually responding to that next time. And yes, you were obviously threatening him, because he makes you feel stupid, so you hate him. And you are stupid. Just so you know.
Yes, he did threaten me twice, and I agree with those who argue that he should be suspended. If he had threatened anyone else in the same way, I would be saying the same thing. Any poster who resorts to thinly veiled threats to the livelihood of others, especially at a time when we know that a number of people are hunting out political opponents for retribution, should be suspended from the board. It is time to "lower the temperature." Sometimes a time-out is the best medicine. Markk is welcome to share his dumb opinions here freely, but when he threatens people, he has worn out his welcome for the time being.

Another fail….Kimmel implied very clearly it was ABC/Disney’s decision in his return last night.

But anyways, is your opinion that Disney is lying and protecting Trump?

Good grief, Markk. Just how gullible are you? How aware are you of how corporate rhetoric works?

Apparently, not very much.

Oh this should be rich. Do tell us, dear tenured Professor, how corporations work.

Also, take a minute to tell us how flushing toilets at a university would work if plumbers and engineers had to be trans furry antifa sanpexual and at least one affinity for race and color.

OK, so you and Markk are in the same sad state of lunacy and ignorance.

Not surprised!

What a burn! That has so much high-learned energy. I am crushed.

Seriously though. When you use a flushing toilet at work, “I make a nickel, boss makes a dime, that’s why I crap on company time,” do you ever consider how many classics students or professors contributed to the system into which you crap?

You must, given your expertise on corporations and their assets.

Can we stop pretending now that this was anything but the president using the power of the FCC to silence voices he doesn't like?
