US Tariffs, Sigh!

There is a big difference between Gina and Jimmy. Gina was cancel cultured. Jimmy was FCC canceled. The only similarity between them was it was Disney in both situations.

Your definition of cancel culture that you just posted says it is digging up post from the past not something somebody just said. From what I remember Disney decided to cancel her before there was any commotion or any uproar about her. Disney made the choice, but it doesn't even matter who does the canceling, they're being canceled for speaking their thoughts.

Jinmy was not FCC canceled for breaking any rules, it was political, and you have to be blind if you can't see that... Again, thats one thing I really hate about Republicans, if you want someone canceled for what they've said and done, at least have the balls to admit that's why and not play word games with why he was canceled and who was behind it.

I was just posting what Portney said. I should have captioned it "Uh Oh, time for the left to cancel David" I don't even like that guy, but it is interesting to see him say that. Where he was incorrect in his post is that Jimmy is being canceled by Disney because of FCC rules that he broke when he lied about the shooter being MAGA when the shooter was a gay lover of a furry transvestite (what ever the heck that is).

I read the transcript last night from Jimmy Kimmel's show. It wasn't just the "maga" comment. It was the rearranging of trumps quotes to make it sound like he cared more about the ballroom he's building than charlie kirk. What really happened was that he was in the middle of a meeting about the ballroom when someone came in and told Trump that Charlie was shot. Jimmy made it sound like all Trump cared about was the ballroom and that Charlie's assassination was secondary. simply untrue.

He made a statement on fox the morning after it happened. If you can't tell by his response, he was avoiding the subject altogether.

This sh!t is getting carried away, now. It seems like all anyone is doing is trying to come up with a new buzz word and get it to stick and take credit for doing so. This is like a stoopid 8th grade play for all the students who don't really care about none of it.
I really get a kick outta the stage hands who don't know diddly about any of this first hand and just say whatever floats into their head...... like all the none-Americans who think they know how to solve any of this, when their own countries are in p!ss-poor shape.
The real blame here is easy. Computers and the internet. Before computers you had to ACTUALLY look things up, read about it, then think about it and then either talk or write about it. You'd actually learn things, but people since the internet came along, being lazy d!ckwads, just google it and not really read the entire work, but just copy & paste anything they want. Nothing is in their heads but what they're gonna say next....... or copy next. Contradictions run high and it's not a very pleasant view when you have nothing to pull from within yourself.

that's all by design from the media. and whoever is funding them.

Just stop it already. Nobody was offended by the shit Kirk was saying but suddenly everyone is offended by Kimmel. LOL

 

[Gino]

I'm not offended by what kimmel said, harris, obama, the other television or radio hosts, media........ I just don't like them. Nothing to do with their political beliefs, I just don't think they're funny. Notice, I didn't put biden in with them for obvious reasons, but at least we didn't get that cackling lady in office.

 

[Gino]

Who flies a pride flag ?? Why does it automatically fly for kimmel.

Im pretty sure it's fake and didn't happen. When googling it all that comes up is stuff from days ago saying some people lowered pride flags for Charlie Kirk.... Nothing about Kimmel. But Kimmel has a wife, so I highly doubt anyone would even lower one for him....

I'm back to the opinion user234 is a bot, so many memes and random article snippets being posted, feels more like baiting than de-bating.

I'm not left... Nor am I right, not do I consider myself center really. I've lived in Canada for 4x as long as I've had my US citizenship... I've voted once, and that was in an American election, and funny enough, for trump. Canada doesn't have Democrats / Republicans - we somewhat have a left and a right, but it's still different than USA's. were not as... Us vs them as you guys, they still work together... But it's mainly in compromises, and I'd say they're further left and further right when it comes to policies and politics, which is why I don't follow or identify as either. I follow what I think is right, I don't care if it's the right or left that does It, I don't care if I call a Republican president the worst thing that could happen to America, and then the next day do the same to a democrat one. My alignment is "for the people", which is why I'm still a firm believer in praising someone when they do something right, and calling them out when they do something wrong.... No matter the side of the isle they're on.

These threads were started due to tarrifs, so no matter what the focus is going to be on trump. But I've praised Kirk.... I've called out people who are saying shit things about him, I've pointed out some of Trump's policies I agree with, and a lot I don't. I have zero problem saying what I agree with and don't, whether it makes left's hate me... Or Rights hate me. I'll never vote again in my life because there's no point, I'm sick of the left and I'm sick of the right, and I wouldn't be proud to label myself as either, so why support either one?


And for the record... I was against rosanne being fired, I actually used to watch the show... Then stopped after they fired her.

Did she say something that could be taken as racist? Sure, but again .. she's a comedian, comedians are supposed to push people to the edge of uncomfortable and turn it into a laugh.

As for Carlson or the others, I didn't even follow them so I'm not sure why they were fired. If it was for something they said, I'm sure unless it was something extremely crazy that hurt Fox's branding, if be against it.

You're are correct, Canada doesn't have a left or right. It has a political and moneyed elite that manage to do very well while the rest of Canadians take it on the chin and empty their wallets and bank accounts for the privilege. It is amazing how in just a generation and a half Canada has gone from a truly affordable and opportunity focused country to one where the middle class no longer exists. Can't wait until the latest 'hate laws' are passed.
