Your point about intent versus execution is well-taken, FH. Truth be told, WAY too many folks are focusing on the former as proof that we're doomed. It's only a fait accompli if no one stands up. And EVERYBODY is standing up for Jimmy here.

Also, Broom Closet Briefing made mention that TACO would do something this month that would be such a serious misplay, his myth would be unable to survive it. I'm thinking we're looking at just that here.

This speaks to one of the big problems with Trumps attempts to be a dictator which is that the harder he tries to crack down the more likely he is to end up pissing off the normie voters. Remember as Americans its in our nature to HATE being told what to do all the time.

I think the Charlie Kirk documentary also failed because there's no way they could have polished that turd with enough material to fill an hour or even half an hour's runtime. They would have to have found a way to talk about Kirk in an extremely edited fashion, that is without mentioning anything notable that he had said or done in his career.

Doing such would have forced them to admit out loud that he was nothing but a hatemonger who wasted his life appealing to the worst traits of humanity, who only appealed to other bigots, and whose legacy ultimately contributed nothing positive to the world.

Kinda hard to do a documentary on only 10 years of his life, no childhood, no wedding pictures, no unposed professional pictures with hus children.

While ignoring that he attacked MLK who is wildly seen as the icon of the civil rights movement

The Bloated Yam is, in the end, a demented bully.

Yeah, they were both his serious market and his strong belief.

Yes, this actually is something that was overplayed. In fact we now know that even the hosts of the View spoke up this morning, and that resonated with people.

Kimmel's show is back tomorrow 9/23. An all powerful dictator was mad that his feelings were hurt and Kimmel got a week vacation out of it

Yes, and the backlash now is a lesson to any other media company of "Try it and see what happens." NBC/Comcast aren't willing to do that after that stunt...also NBC/Comcast rarely let's their stations not air anything out of pattern.

I guess Trump will be suing the staff as Windor Castle who were.horrified at the mess he left behind. Lots of take out boxes that contained fried chicken and French fries obtained for him by the secret service. Cans of hair spray and spray on tan left throughout and the bedsheets had an orange stain all over them. This is Windsor Castle not Motel 7 where the cleaning staff might expect to find boxes of takeout. It proves just how classless and unrefined Trump really is, a true pig.
