  • The owner of the company can still suspend an on air personality and it's not infringing on free speech because it's not the government forcing that person off the air but rather the network they work for. Also free speech is specifically a congressional issue, the first amendment saying that congress can make no law stifling speech. It actually says nothing about legislative or judicial branches stopping speech. So it would specifically be that congress wrote a bill to kick him off the air. Otherwise it's all fair game.

  • Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
    \ Lemme tell ya, them guys are dumb

  • And we do feel that we produce a superior product here in the United States, and we just need to have the markets.

    lol. lmao even.

    Facts don't care about your feelings bitch!

  • Like everything else, the same laws and rules they have hidden behind to justify and protect their absolute dogshit behavior will be the first things the regime will get rid of for protecting anyone other than their in-group.

    Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

  • You don't understand they need to be able to dogwhistle somehow. /s

  • They really are. A few months ago it had some complainers about the sub being too "political" and then someone posted an Instagram post where Tim Robinson said "Fuck ICE" and the mood of the sub turned entirely to "fuck ICE/fuck MAGA."

    It really is surprising people wouldn't know Robinson's politics leaned left after Detroiters.

  • I suppose you could add a loose rule to label a new boot post [New Boot Goofin]. Don't be harsh on it, but just a suggestion type rule? I'm not sure if Lemmy has actual "flair" options or not.

  • I feel like "New Boot Goofin" should be a required flair for posting new boots.

  • They had Ezra Klein out there glazing Charlie Kirk so I'm sure they'll have him glazing Trump's accomplishments soon.

  • When the pants shitting monkeys running America start nuking the fuck out of the rest of the planet indiscriminately, you might wish you had cared more about what was going on with those stupid fucks.

  • Since it seems you're asking a question in good faith I'll try to answer. I'm not the person you replied to but here...

    I think the main thing that has changed is the disappearance of Elon Musk. Last time around there was what I consider to be valid concern that Musk would pay his flunkies out of pocket to keep working and tearing apart the Federal government during the shutdown. With most Federal employees going home during a shutdown, it would leave very few at the helm to be able to stop DOGE in their iteration at the time. Musk was making hay at the time of how they could do things on weekends because no one was there to stop them, and it was very reasonable to consider that he would personally pay his flunkies to tear shit apart while people were furloughed during a shutdown. As frustrating as it was, and as much as I fucking loathe the likes of Chuck Schumer and his corporate cock sucking ilk, I personally did see Musk as a legitimate threat if the shutdown occurred last time around. Musk is gone and there is no one to pay DOGE employees to keep working while everyone else goes home, so it stands to reason that you might actually maybe get these old chucklefucks on board for doing something right for once. Not making any promises, though, as I agree with another poster that characterized Schumer as a last minute pants pisser.

  • Google in the pocket of extremists and helping them wipe their sordid history from the internet.

  • Sexual repression do be like that.
