    don't they know that when dear leader calls to cancel someone they need to do some cancelling.

    Former President Donald Trump had his staff pressure Disney to crack down on late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's show, according to Rolling Stone.

    Trump in early 2018 was "so upset by Kimmel's comedic jabs that he directed his White House staff to call up one of Disney's top executives in Washington, D.C., to complain and demand action," according to the report.

    Disney is the parent company of ABC, which airs "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

    Trump aides placed at least two separate phone calls at the time to convey the "severity of his fury with Kimmel," former administration officials told the outlet. Aides pushed Disney to "rein in" Kimmel and said that Trump felt Kimmel had been "very dishonest and doing things that [Trump] would have once sued over," a former official told Rolling Stone. .............(more)

    Jimmy Kimmel hits back over report that Trump White House pressured Disney to censor his jokes | Salon.com

    it would be terribly totalitarian if biden or heaven forbid obama made a call like this, but dear leader loves america and free speech. kimmel needs to **** and stay cancelled like everyone's favorite president wants. .

    I wonder why this is a story at all. No one watches Kimmel, and frankly no one thinks he's funny. He's cringe worthy.

    Of course, "reining in Kimmel"is a far cry from using the FBI to make FB or Twitter deplatform Kimmel. Gosh, the little hurts of liberals these days...

    So why would the 'stable genius' pay any attention to Kimmel? Talk about 'little hurts'.

    No one really listens to the hundreds of MAGA talk shows either, but they tend to be the loudest on the internet making false claims.

    But the point was that Trump was using "cancel culture" to get what he wanted. And that obviously flew past you in every way possible.

    The ex-president is the textbook prerogative ‘Karen’.

    Now if you're deep into the conspiracy world you’d know MAGA (13+1+7+1) translates to K-doubled Q:
    e.g. a mass of super Karen’s.

    Hence, everything and anything seen or unseen beyond that obnoxious POV is cringeworthy.

    People appear to approve of your personal insult. You got some "likes." Do you see that politics really is really humanity at its worst.

    a "personal insult" could violate our terms of service. i prefer to think of this as an "alternate compliment."

    I don't think it violates anything. I've been insulted here countless times.

    It has been reported that the FBI was sending instructions to Twitter and other social media platforms about how it should handle conservative opinions and news reporting during the 2020 election cycle. Burying stores reported by the New York Post was an example.

    Both Trump and the FBI were wrong in what they were doing. Trump should have listened to Harry Truman. “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” Unfortunately Trump’s skin is too thin to do that.

    As for the FBI, it has no business getting involved in politics.

    Once again, who was directing the FBI to do that, and what were those instructions?

    If we’re accusing someone of directing the FBI for their own personal political gain, it’s kind of important to note who was doing that, and in what manner. The FBI has always had some involvement in election integrity, but they are supposed to act independently
