A take that I’ve been contemplating is that the current administration is not entirely on the level in their approach to over the top political rhetoric. What do you guys think? Could I be on to something?

Oh
It’s important to remember that anyone who argued that ABC wasn’t acting at the behest of government pressure is both a liar and a fool.
Remember, MAGA says it’s the rhetoric from the left that is causing all the violence.
Trump tells people who he is bluntly over and over and folks either don’t believe it or aren’t paying attention or have agendas. That’s the story of the last decade of America.

I take a very broad view of the First Amendment. But even I must admit that I don’t think the freedom of speech covers kneeling on a man’s neck until he dies. Derek Chauvin was rightly convicted for murdering George Floyd. There’s a video of it, Anna.

To be clear: It's not "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after comments about Charlie Kirk," it's "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after threats from Trump FCC chair" The distinction matters here.
"If you listen to the whole conversation" I did. And it tells me that you don't understand logical fallacies in debate. It tells me you don't fact check. And most importantly, it tells me that you don't understand systemic racism and queerphobia.
Thought I’d heard every known variation of “hate speech isn’t free speech” over the past 20 years of doing First Amendment work. But this one is new to me. Because that’s the U.S. Attorney General talking — and promising to “go after you” for protected speech. My goodness.

Turns out the people getting “welfare” off of USAID was America’s farmers.
I can’t believe I have to say this in response to two ostensible “conservatives” doing an Alphonse & Gaston routine, but ok: Hate speech is free speech. It’s protected by the First Amendment. In this country, we fight speech with speech. Mean words aren’t illegal in America.

This is insane
It’s fascinating (if unsurprising) that neither Fox News nor Brian Kilmeade have put out a statement defending, apologizing, or attempting to clarify this over the last ~10 hours. Kinda says it all doesn’t it?

America’s homeless population includes over a million children and tens of thousands of veterans, many of whom served in Iraq or Afghanistan. Nobody deserves to be murdered by the government for mental illness or poverty. These Fox hosts are calling for mass murder—it’s sick.

20% of all homeless men are veterans who served this country. A Fox News host thinks they should be killed.

Since these people are busy rewriting their history and deleting their posts, here's how the "lower the temperature" right acted when they thought Charlie Kirk's shooter was a transgender liberal.
Vance is literally the only national politician who has called Trump Hitler.

Did any editor at @WSJ ask this question before pushing out a breaking news alert? on an extremely inflammatory subject? on a claim from a factually challenged admin that is now being walked back, after zooming round the world?
