Joe Ferguson forever

I actually buy it for my niece and her kids. She texted me last night and said they'd understand if I canceled. The kids love disney so I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face.

define "win" in this situation. Does it involve facing the wrath of the FCC mob boss as cruz called him?

this is not about kimmel suing. it's about ABC/Disney, dumbass. They have much to lose by taking this to court. kimmel may well sue. I'm not concerned about him but about free speech. did he say these things from the linked article? do you find them racist? Charlie Kirk’s Record on Race and Civil Rights Kirk frequently cast doubt on the qualifications of Black professionals. “If I see a black pilot, I’m gonna be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified,” he once said. In another instance, he referred to “a moronic black woman” in customer service and questioned whether she was hired “because of her excellence, or … because of affirmative action.” He also attacked civil rights leaders and the laws that reshaped the nation. “Clarence Thomas was a far better black role model to celebrate than Martin Luther King. Period. End of story. This guy is not worthy of a national holiday,” Kirk said. At Turning Point USA’s America Fest in 2023, he went further: “MLK was awful. … We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.” Black women in public life were also targets. He called journalist Joy Reid, former First Lady Michelle Obama, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson “affirmative action picks,” claiming they did not “have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously.” He blamed a Black fire chief in Austin, Texas, for flooding deaths that occurred a three-hour drive away from the city. Even as the nation embraced Juneteenth as a federal holiday commemorating emancipation, Kirk denounced it. “Juneteenth should not be a federal holiday,” he wrote on social media in June. In a video, he argued, “This holiday is not about celebrating emancipation regardless of the veneer they put on it.”

have you ever been told by a lawyer that "it's just not worth it". Good lawyers often tell clients this.

why are you? https://theblackwallsttimes.com/2025/09/11/charlie-kirk-is-dead-but-black-america-remembers-his-racism/

sure they consulted attorneys who likely told them that a suit would cost millions and that the threats against local affiliates would destroy the financially if brought to fruition. sometimes fighting back isn't worth it financially. I also suspect they were told they had a good case.

these two things can't exist simultaneously.

he was fired the same day the FCC threatened ABC. The commissioner publicly bragged about it and threatened more of the same to other networks. If you can't see the connection, good luck having a successful life.

do you listen to gutfield? He seems to think he's funny.

To maga's, it's all worth it for this: "Cause ***** you guys that's why". This is who they are. This is what they want. did the biden admin or the FCC coerce fox to fire him? nah, it was about the massive lawsuit they lost. or maybe it was for one of the reasons mentioned here, none of which have anything to do with the federal govt https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/why-was-tucker-carlson-fired-fox-news-b2354146.html

Ted Cruz speaks the truth for once https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ar-AA1MUz2S WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz says FCC chairman Brendan Carr sounded more like an organized crime boss than a federal regulator when he threatened to revoke ABC’s licenses over comments by late night host Jimmy Kimmel. The Texas Republican emphasized how much he hates what Kimmel said about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk – and how much he likes and works closely with Carr. Having high-ranking federal officials threaten ABC in such a way, however, is “dangerous as hell” because it presents a slippery slope that could end with conservatives facing government censorship down the road, Cruz said. “If the government gets in the business of saying ‘We don’t like what you, the media have said, we’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we like,’ that will end up bad for conservatives,” Cruz said on his Friday podcast. Cruz is an important voice on the subject in part because he’s chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, which is responsible for FCC oversight. “That’s right out of Goodfellas,” Cruz said. “That’s right out of a mafioso coming into a bar going ‘Nice bar you have here. It’d be a shame if something happened to it.’”

He reads only memes and tweets and supposedly, nursing journals…

Deplorable but at least you’re honest.

he wasn't in violation. yjey didn't need to threaten ABC. They could have just followed established FCC enforcement measures. trump wasn't banned from twitter through coercion on the goats part...

you keep posting this. I'm not a lawyer and I'l;l bet you aren't either. II don't think the excerpt supports your narrative. Perhaps one of the boards lawyers cn chime in. Constitutional lawyers appear to have a consensus that this was unconstitutional.

so why did the FCC need to threaten?

What might be untrue? The sleazy FCC director publicly bragged about threatening Disney and Nexstar

"jawboning" https://www.kuow.org/stories/legal-experts-say-pulling-jimmy-kimmel-from-air-may-amount-to-illegal-jawboning The decision is not happening in a vacuum. Nexstar announced recently that it is in the process of trying to acquire its rival, Tegna, in a deal estimated to be worth $6.2 billion that is subject to the review of Carr's FCC. Nexstar also needs Carr's support to loosen regulations to complete the deal. Under current rules, no one company can own stations that reach more than 39% of U.S. households. The Nexstar-Tegna tie-up is estimated to extend the company's combined reach into 80% of American homes. Carr celebrated the series of events kicked off by Nexstar, thanking the company on X for "doing the right thing." Carr wrote: "I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar's lead."

from your link: The First Amendment also prohibits the government from coercing private actors to take actions that suppress other private entities' speech.11

i mean the biggest liar on the planet ordering his minions to go after critics. and the sheeple calmly accept it....
