I feel not one ounce of pity for anyone on the Political Left that loses their job.

This long downhill slide wasn't started by the Right. Towards the end of the Vietnam War, the Left became violent in ways this Country had not seen since the Civil War. The SLA, the Black Panthers, MOVE, the Weather Underground and dozens of other far Left groups conducted attacks. You would be VERY hard pressed to name any Right wing group that did similar things.

The Democrat Left even began to eat their own, and went after LBJ. When Nixon became President, the Left, including their allies in the Media, discovered there was no penalty for being entirely partisan, and the knives came out.

The hatred for Republicans intensified during the Reagan and Bush years, and reached a peak under Trump. The Left Media discovered long before FOX existed as a news network, that covering everything from a Leftist Democrat viewpoint was possible with few repercussions.

Until Rush Limbaugh, there was plenty of far Left Media, but none that anyone could claim was Right Media. The Left is happy as a Clam when they can attack their opponents, but scream like little girls when the same tactics are used against them.

The Left has sown the wind, and now they'll reap the whirlwind.

Timothy McVeigh was pretty far right

Timothy McVeigh was pretty far right

The fact that most can only come up with one kinda proves my point.

The uproar about Kimmel is predictable and totally expected.
The thing that is so entertaining to me is all of the people that are so outraged are the same people that would go back years on people’s social media and find something they didn’t like, organize boycott s of companies they didn’t align with politically and get people fired like Rosanne Barr.
Someone pointed out yesterday that Kimmel shed tears for cecil the lion but made a joke about Mr. Kirks cold blooded murder.

What I find most entertaining is…

If all of the people so outraged by Kimmels show being cancelled had actually given enough of a shit about Kimmel to watch his show… it wouldn’t have ever been cancelled..

Late night television has seen an 80% decline since 2015..

In 2016 Kimmel was averaging 2.2m viewers per night…

By 2021 he was down to 1.5m viewers and has continued to hover around that number from then until now, never recovering…

After his stupid Kirk comments his viewership dropped another 27% overnight..

Late night TV was already a losing proposition that the major networks have been trying to find a solution to for years…

Despite being one of the more popular shows, Kimmels program was already in serious decline alongside all of his competitors… additional dumbassery that resulted in significant additional loss of market makes a cancelation a very easy business decision….

Had even just 2m folks on the left bothered to watch Kimmel a couple of weeks ago.. the conversation would be very different today… but… they didn’t give a shit about him 10 days ago… so I’m not really buying they give a shit about him today…

It’s just another reason to be outraged when you don’t have anything else to cling to this week…

The left is outraged by whatever the left tells them to be outraged about.
It's a giant hive mind and echo chamber of nitwits

A national socialist is still a socialist. McVeigh wanted wasp-only socialism. The left is run by white socialists. I’d say they are presently 98% aligned.

Unfortunately there are more. He was just an extreme example

 

[LivingTheDream]

I dont know if it is true but it is circulating that part of why ABC pulled him was that he was not going to apologize and was actually going to double down on his Wednesday show.

Not the only situation like this I have read about over the last few years about these "asylum seekers" ...ie illegal immigrants even from European countries doing same...fkn joke....

Evacuated Afghans went back for holidays and even wanted second wives to join

Some even pushed to bring second wives to the UK, it has been claimed, alongside parents, siblings and other relatives.

Wonder if the Chinese mining company will be held accountable.

Seems the Demoncrats are getting desperate. Murder seems to be all they have left.

Many months ago I was chatting with friends about revolutions and unrest, mainly that they sneak up on society without much foreknowledge.

I believe its the left that could cause such unrest, verging on civil war. Specifically, I thought that the tipping point could be if the UHC CEO's assassin gets away with murder because of jury gridlock. Odds of 1:12 jurors in New York doing jury nullification? Measurable.

That risk grew today, a NY judge tossed his terrorism charges leaving society with only one charge to get him with, murder.

New York judge tosses terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, lets murder count stand

A judge has dismissed terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione in New York state’s case over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

If you think my concern is far-fetched, I'd remind you of the E. Jean Carroll NY jurors that ruled in her favor against Trump with literally zero evidence.

So how would this lead to civil unrest or worse if they fail to convict Luigi Mangione? It would declare to Antifa "open season" to hunt anyone on the right, anyone that is a capitalist, anyone that is a corporatist.

Dangerous times. Pray that they panel a jury that believes in the rule of law.

Timothy McVeigh was pretty far right

And not one person on the right said that the people he killed deserved it for being on the left.

What is a leftist?

Someone who gets fired for mocking Charlie Kirk, plays the victim for sympathy on social media, and starts a GoFundMe to try and bag cash.

The armed guy is a former ID deputy Sheriff. The odds are greater that he is on the right than the left. But, at this point no one knows his political leanings.

It seems like Russia is trying to goad NATO into a war. Does it make sense for NATO to launch a one time barrage of missiles/bombs that will cripple Russias military ambitions once and for all?

 

[Brent in Az]

Amen!

Russia's published doctrine for nuclear retaliation is an attack on homeland. This would qualify.

I mean there’s been that threat for over half a century now, at some point the west will have to call its bluff. They’re like a toddler seeing what they can get away with before mommy breaks out the wooden spoon.

How badly could the west cripple the country’s military infrastructure, leaders et al in one night of barrage.
