This what I always understood: You punch UP in comedy...not down. It is why Trump and his reprehensible bunch of maggot cronies hate comedians. They punch up at Trump instead of down at Trans people and poor people and sick people.

Trump: "When you have a network, and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump... They're not allowed to do that."
There's always a tweet.
I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".
Jimmy Kimmel should have just said they should murder homeless people. That guy got to keep his job and no one said a word.
Absolute fucking monsters. Genocide for more real estate

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

NEW: Reuters asked the Michigan Tax Authority whether Lisa Cook violated any mortgage tax rules for her home in Ann Arbor. They said no. That's in addition to Reuters earlier reporting that nothing was wrong with the documents for her home in Atlanta. www.reuters.com/world/us/no-...
We tried, but republicans wouldn't convict him after he was impeached.
Does anyone have a post, a tweet, a video from Trump asking for calm and trying to unite the country? Anyone?
I plan to post this ABC News supercut video of Trump calling Harris and Democrats "fascists" (and "communists"!) everytime I see a Republican on TV whining about Trump being called a "fascist" by the left. Oh, the hypocrisy! Oh, the gaslighting!
The most amazing part of this is that the far right didn't target her because she celebrated Kirk's death or even threw his own words back at them. She merely expressed a well-founded worry that his murder might inspire the far right to greater violence and they apparently took that as a challenge.
The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Color me stunned.
Has Brian Kilmeade been fired yet? Or does cancel culture only go one way for conservatives? Speak the truth...get fired. Say we should kill homeless people...eh, no big deal.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Because I will find your being offended funny too. /F
'Cause if you are all up in your feels about something when you said something else you didn't do it to be funny or clever...you were just being mean and hateful and you think that is what they are doing to you. /3
It's not people making dark jokes about something that bothers me. It is those same people then being offended when someone else makes a dark joke about something THEY care about. /2
So, here's a point I've been trying to make: *I* am not offended by your jokes. My dark humor/sarcasm gene is strong..and beautifully developed...lol. /1

Of course he is. He can do whatever he likes. And Tomlin is thrilled to not have to coach someone.
man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
THIS YOU? MASTER THREAD 1. Jeremy Clarkson
The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow
Congress passed a bipartisan law long ago mandating that a plaque honoring the officers who defended Capitol on J6 be displayed in the building. Mike Johnson has ignored that law and refuses to do it.
"Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible (1964)." #MLK #PrayForPeace #PrayForAmerica
The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.
Violence, against anyone, is never the answer. Ever. If you are using an act of violence to "blame" one side or the other, there is something wrong with you as a human being. The proper response is to condemn the violence.
Federal agents detained a man who was in a car with his wife and two children on Monday night in D.C. The man said he didn't know why he had been pulled over.
New in PN: Brett Kavanaugh explains that SCOTUS really IS doing racism "Five justices calculated that it was better to remain silent and be thought of as a bunch of racist hacks than to speak out and remove all doubt. But Kavanaugh, channeling his inner Col. Jessup, refused to sign on to the plan."
WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK
Banski on the US Supreme Court.
The Roberts Court is overtly devoted, as a matter of judicial and political philosophy, to supporting the policy agenda of Donald Trump. These are DISCRETIONARY rulings - the Court is ruling, repeatedly and usually without explanation, that EQUITY requires that Trump’s agenda advance.
While also seeking the attention and love he never got from his parents.
I'm telling you guys and gals: This is not a real person. It is Will Ferrell preparing for a role.
I just want to see Trump quat like that and get back up without help.
Trump being an FBI informant reminded me of something... Elvis was a narc: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIcy... Pinkard & Bowden.
Hundreds of LGBTQ+ Catholics and their families participated in a Holy Year pilgrimage to Rome on Saturday, celebrating a new level of acceptance in the Catholic Church after long feeling shunned and crediting Pope Francis with the change. apnews.com/article/vati...
Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.
The FBI uses a lot of shitty people as cooperators and informants but Trump is a great example of someone they wouldn’t use — a pathologically narcissistic braggart who could never keep a secret or maintain focus. It would be like asking the Trix rabbit to wear a wire.
Blumenthal: They’ve exhausted the 120 days for Alina Habba, and so they’ve tried to make her acting US Attorney. But the statutes simply don’t authorize that. A judge has concluded she is without authority for any of the actions she’s taken. Everything she’s done could be challenged.
Imagine at your summer internship a guy gives a talk about how women generally have lower IQ. It's awkward enough that a senior administrator later explains that the talk was inappropriate. Now, imagine reading that the President has nominated this person to lead a major govt agency!
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will “redact every Republican” from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats. He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security “to keep her mouth shut.”
CNN put together a clip of RKF Jr denying today he linked antidepressants and mass shootings, followed by a clip of RFK Jr last week linking antidepressants and mass shootings
When I was in college, I helped teach TV production on campus to 7th and 8th-graders. One day, a camera would not work. Using it as a teaching moment, I had the students go over all the parts. Still didn't work. One young girl said, "Oh, the power isn't on". Always check the easiest thing first.
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.

If you appreciate me working Sunday mornings to bring you the newsiest clips from the Sunday shows, please support independent media by signing up for my newsletter. I think you'll enjoy PN and paid subscribers make my work possible. Thanks.
I think the reason they can't find Trump is that they are looking for someone who is 6'3" and 224 pounds. #whereistrump

@caitoz.bsky.social spot on, as usual.
No public appearances for three days. No public appearances planned. But the guy still has time to golf...again. What a waste of oxygen.

Our office manager was cutting hot peppers. She came into my office telling me she wiped her eye and it burned. "How could I be so dumb?" etc. Then she did it again an hour later. As I asked my kids when they growing up and did something less than smart "And, what did we learn?"
When do we get to start blinding people with science.
Minneapolis: blood drive this evening and Friday afternoon: Wooden Ship Brewing, 3300 W 44th St Minneapolis. Or visit the Memorial Blood Centers site for other locations to donate: www.mbc.org There was an urgent blood shortage even before this awful shooting, so lots of donors needed!
Men get so butt hurt that women don’t want to date them. “WELL WE DONT WANT TO DATE YOU EITHER.” Well then wouldn’t it be a good thing we’re all on the same page then? Stop rap*ng us and taking our lives then.
Same for the police, really. If they eliminated crime, how could they milk the governments for all that overtime?
Radio feeds are still free.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
I have literally never heard of three no bills. Even two on a case is incredibly unusual. Any former AUSAs ever hear of such a thing?
I graduated high school in the 80s, but I can't remember the part where the POTUS wrote laws and then enacted them all by himself.
The ubiquitous right wing talk about getting swooped up by gubmint "black helicopters" was always a form of aspirational projection masquerading as anti-government libertarianism.
*IF* they send the military into Chicago I wonder if we get the answer on if they will shoot at citizens. Because I get the feeling the people of Chicago are not going to take it well. As they should not. Not that I wish for violence. That is never the answer. But it what Trump wants and may get.
8 vacations in 7 months ?-🤨 I guess he's the vacation vice president😒
“Her records were sealed for 12 years. They would have had no access to these records unless somebody illegally handed them over...They never once asked for records from me about the case, and I had to guess that it might have been a marijuana charge because I was left in the dark for a week.”
Is the rumor that the current administration wants to replace PBS with PragerU correct? I don't remember this episode of @sesamehistory.bsky.social
The FTC made a new rule to make it easier to cancel such contracts. You're not gonna believe what happened next... www.nbcbayarea.com/news/nationa...
Rangappa: Do you believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty? Ferguson: Yes Rangappa: She denied her guilt the interview. Ferguson: Most criminals lie, newsflash. That's, like, not shocking. Rangappa: Then why on Earth would you believe anything she said?
Steak 'n Shake is owned by Biglari Holdings, founded by Sardar Biglari — Iranian immigrant multimillionaire and supporter of Trump. Biglari bought 4.7 million shares of Cracker Barrel in 2011, and failed seven times to take over the company. Trump supporters will buy any “MAGA-branded” bullshit.
this is the future liberals want
i remember when jd vance blamed the haitian immigrants to springfield for rising home prices. well, the prices will come down, because a mass departure of haitian workers will crash the local economy.
The company running license plate tracking cameras across Colorado has insisted that immigration agents don't have direct access. Flock now says they were wrong. CBP has access. (Using license plate info for immigration enforcement is prohibited by Colorado law) #copolitics
