Here's hoping. Colbert too.

That’s the line his voters are fed.

That was a fact. WTF does his VP have to do with the fact that there was a 100% Republican block against his policies and he couldn't get anything passed unless he kowtowed and made concessions that destroyed everything he was trying to do? Biden didn't break any ties against him. Remember how Merrick Garland got confirmed to the supreme court? Oh right, they literally broke the rules to keep that from happening. This revisionist BS has to go. As far as Larry Summers is concerned, say what you will but the economy was much better when he left than when he was inaugurated. Or did you forget 2008 too.

This is classic "Democrats have to be perfect and do exactly what they promised and solve everything even things they didn't run on or let's go with Satan" rhetoric we keep hearing from the left and I'm tired of it.

Sure, if you ignore the fact that CBS settled with Trump for $16 million because he didn't like their free speech, and now they have new Trumpian leadership. You're absolutely right they have the legal right do do what they want with their business. but the alternative is being attacked by the government again, so is that your real argument?

Great, new flavors like Jam-ba-lya... Extra lye for pretzel flavor plus jam right in the dough

Freedom of the press is literally the first amendment. Television is protected by the first amendment. He was suspended because right wing lunatics didn't like his free speech. In what world does this NOT have anything to do with the first amendment? Why am I even replying to you? You obviously have no idea what free speech means.

From what I read he was a groyper and felt that Kirk wasn't right leaning enough. but the news manipulates the information daily, so, :shrug🤷

Just to be clear: they suspended him for criticizing MAGA for trying to claim that the killer wasn't one of them. He didn't say anything about Charlie Kirk. He was censored for speaking truth by his own network. Not only censored, censured and suspended indefinitely.

We're 100% there kids. The founding fathers made a point to put something right after freedom of speech, from religion, and of assembly. Right there 2nd in order. Unabridged. Welp the 1st amendment is being abridged as we speak. And I hear that second thing was put in place to protect that first thing. I've been hearing it for over 50 years.

*quick edit in case anyone else wants to try to educate me about the constitution: no, he isn't protected by the 1st amendment from getting suspended. ABC should be protected but seeing as they've already settled for $16 million over threats on their FCC license and brought in new trump-friendly leadership, we can all agree he wasn't suspended due to ratings drops. Stop pretending things are normal. This is an obvious 1st amendment issue.

Most people are simply mentioning how much of a piece of shit he was, and happy that he won't be spewing his nonsense anymore

Imagine his surprise when all of these CEO's voice their concerns about the fascist terrorist rhetoric.
