But Elon told me comedy was legal again!
And what Elon said was true from a certain point of view.

It's just that the only kind of comedy that really resonates with hard-right filth like Musk is hard-core punching down, on the level of Nazi camp guards brutalizing the prisoners to entertain themselves.

They claimed it was because the highest rated show in late night was a money sink, but yeah, it was obviously a political hit job.

like, that's it?

...That's tame as fuck. He wasn't even making fun of Charlie Kirk or celebrating that he's dead, he was making fun of Donald Trump's lack of empathy/sympathy for Charlie Kirks death. There has to be more to this story.

He didnt even make fun of Kirk or call out his white supremacist rhetoric. His comments were more a dig at the rabid animals on the right and making fun of Trump. Dont care for Kimmel or his humor, but pulling his show just for these comments is absolute BS.
Kimmel also pointed out how Trump didn't care one iota for Kirk. But MAGA doesn't see that in their utter cultish stupor. They don't see that if Kirk, who carried Trump's water every chance he got, is soundlessly forgotten, then what are they to Trump?

Well if we are closing in on the end of times... according to the Book of Revelation, the beast will be given authority for 42 months, that is 3 and a half years, about the length of a presidency before something drastic happens. Enslaving people probably.

The Beast out of the Sea
13 The dragon[a] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against Gods holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beastall whose names have not been written in the Lambs book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.
10
If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed[c] with the sword,
with the sword they will be killed.[d]
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of Gods people.
The Beast out of the Earth
11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[e] That number is 666.

So are these guys going after Fuentes and Loomer for radicalizing the shooter or are they going to continue to attack the left for something they had nothing to do with?

I know the answer to that.

Yes.

Why yes? Because Fuentes is also being pretty critical of Trump right now.

Kimmel didn't make light of Kirk's death, he made a joke criticizing Trump for making light of his death.

If the conservatives were really angry about people not mourning Kirk's death, they'd approve of what Kimmel said.

Kimmel was basically taken off the air for the closest thing to a right-wing joke he's ever made.

Be funny as hell if people started using the I'm-mad-people-aren't-sad-about-kirk snitch lines to report the POSPOTUS for making light of his death.

It is amazing how quickly this country has speedrun into something awful and unrecognizable. US has always had deep flaws. But 200 plus years to build something that at least attempted freedom, especially freedom of expression. All undone in 30ish plus years by characters like a pathetic slob radio host and the clumsiest, dumbest con man who ever lived.

Our government is become a complete joke, and so is the corrupt, conservative media it shamelessly influences. The world thinks our country is pathetic, and they should. MAGA is pathetic, and voters gave them control of everything.
America has spent decades thinking it's Billy Badass.

What we're seeing now is the truth. So fucking pathetic that Donald Fucking Trump brought it all down.
Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. You know it, I know it, and he knows it.

Honestly parsing all of that the whole "Beast" thing is likely just an attempt to groom a populace against falling for fascist rule and giving fascists power in the first place.

Most of the world is outright rejecting Trump. He's deeply unpopular with over 30% of Americans, and a lot of nations who have had elections after the US's election have swung very hard against anything even resembling his brand of politics.

There's nothing religious about his rise to power nor his power. He's just another tinpot dictator like the many many many who rose to power over the span of human history.

I mean, they arent completely wrong. Steam comments are filled with bigots. Twitch has Assratgold as their top political streamer. And Reddit has subreddits like r/conservative. Dont know much about Discord but Im sure it has plenty of those types as well.

But of course Im sure the white supremacists Im the government dont care about that aspect.

I'm honestly wondering just how much more John and J.R. are willing to take before they walk out of that network or for other voices in progressive media to disvow them all together it's pretty clear they never believed in any progressive or liberal messages it's just they didn't have an "in" to the right grifting pot yet.
