Keep. On. Boycotting.
They’re are just in PR damage control, they have not fired a single person or told Sinclair/Nextstar to fire those who actively voice support for fascism.
Not so much fear, rather I just I’m just fully resigned to the fact that NONE of the democratic leadership will have any spine to let the Republicans Mike Pence themselves here because they’re too stupid and ego drunk on being the “Responsible White Knight”.
Awww… She forgives the Republican who killed her husband.
I’m interested to hear what Susan Collins has to say.
I fully expect the spinless Democratic leadership to bail the fascist Republicans out yet again.
They already fucked up by even offering a compromised solution in my opinion. Why keep giving these incompetent fascist slack when they clearly want to Mike Pence themselves.
Republicans, they are such the biggest bunch of pussies I swear.
Just following orders is such a Nazi cop out. Sorry but no.
There is no compulsory law and legal punishment for civilians to not fly the flag at half staff for anyone and honestly maybe you could have gotten away with that argument a decade ago when political civility was still somewhat of a thing. Now with a fat orange fascist literally advocating for government to silence free speech, nope. Take your non-binding flag code and well, you know what to do.
Fly the flag for racist, bigot you deserve to be boycotted by people with morals at every level. This country should not be tolerating bullshit like that but here we are, making excuses for those who publicly hate and call for violence against their fellow Americans.
You know what? Something I’ve been thinking about is that it’s great that a lot of people are boycotting multinationals for supporting the silencing the critics of the racist, bigot Charlie Kirk but what are we doing at the local level?
I just noticed a car dealership, a dealership we did look at for a new car a while back, flying their giant flag at half mast in remembrance of the racist, bigot Charlie Kirk and then a apartment complex just down the way doing to it too. I know as a minority that those places are going to be avoided like the plague going forward.
But that makes me think there really needs to be more boycott at the local level where the impacts are well just more impactful on the day to day. I already use sites like public square to help avoid Republican shops locally but I don’t know of any resources that track those local companies who do self report themselves.
Food for thought in this fight against Republican fascism.
At least one House Democrat, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), is planning to vote against the resolution, telling Axios she is “not sure what is honorable” about many of Kirk’s past statements.
Asked about concerns of GOP backlash, Crockett said she lives “under their heinous threats every single day” and suggested Democrats should not be like Republicans who have “abdicated their duties out of fear.”
So far, only one courageous Democrat that will stand against the farce and celebration of white supremacy and bigotry of a person shot by a fellow Republican.
I thought they lost Mike Pence?
From axios:
Catch up quick: A House resolution to honor Kirk and condemn his assassination has been the subject of frenzied talk among Democrats this week.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said in Democrats’ closed-door caucus meeting Thursday morning that leadership will vote for the resolution, but will leave lawmakers to decide for themselves how they plan to vote, Axios reported.
Some Democrats fear that anything short of a unanimous vote for the resolution could be a messaging coup for Republicans.
Fucking worthless Democrats.
I didn’t want to reply to the dense troll so I’m answering you instead.
Do you find it ironic that the commentator is using drugs at an example when we literally in the 80’s and 90’s where we literally had people, including those in law enforcement, advocate how morally wrong it was for harsh punishment against African Americans for crack but let off White people for cocaine, literally the same drug.
Except he is being silenced by the FCC too since Carr, in his official capacity as FCC Chairman, made the remarks,
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take actions on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”
and
“We at the FCC are going to force the public interest obligation. There are broadcasters out there that don’t like it, they can turn in their license in to the FCC,” Carr said. “But that’s our job. Again, we’re making some progress now.”
Also, FCC Chair Carr says ‘we’re not done yet’ after Jimmy Kimmel suspension by ABC
Don’t really care what you think. Welcome to the internet where the facts are all made up and the points don’t matter. Have a good day.
Dude, the entire administration has been threatening everyone and everything regardless of if it’s in their jurisdiction or if it’s constitutionally protected, if it’s illegal. For fucks sake, you have Pam Bondi going off about prosecuting the clerk who refused to print up a poster glorifying Charlie Kirk and prosecuting people for hate speech for saying Charlie Kirk was a bad, bad man.
You’re ill in the head if you think that my tongue and cheek comment that the FCC should be threatening Tucker with cancel culture, which he should by the way if he’s not a hypocritical twat, and that we don’t understand that the FCC has no power of youtube. Do you think that when I say that “Pam Bondi needs to prosecute Tucker for hate speech” that I truly think that Pam Bondi has the power and the legal right to prosecute Tucker here?
Go touch grass dude, you’ve been Poe’d.
Man, you really missed the point and went down the path of Poe.
Yeah this instance is having some server issues today resulting in me double posting.
Media giant Sinclair called on Jimmy Kimmel to apologize directly to Charlie Kirk’s family over remarks he made about the conservative activist’s killing, and to give both them and Turning Point USA a “meaningful personal donation.”
These are MAGA companies that have been slowly pushing more and more propaganda on to the public airwaves. They firmly believe that their viewer base won’t be losing that many viewers and are counting on MAGA’s, rightly so probably, to cover for the loss.
I mean it should if we lived in normal times with a normal judiciary.
