Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinping would be proud of Trump!

[chuckChuck]

Trump is taking a page from North Korea's and China's state media control playbook!

Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinping would be proud of Trump's blatant plan to shut down anyone who is critical of Donny and the MAGAlomaniacs.

Threatening to cancel the licenses of any broadcaster that doesn't tow the MAGA party line. Wow! That is what happens in China, North Korea, and Iran! Not in the USA!

What happened to freedom of speech and the first amendment? Did Trump shut it down as well?

Lest we forget, Trumps first executive order talked about banning cancel culture.

During his opening monologue for Tuesday night’s show, Kimmel said: “Many in Maga-land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.” He accused the US vice-president, JD Vance, of blaming the left for Kirk’s death without evidence.

Vance had said: “While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left.”

Kimmel responded by saying: “And by ‘statistical fact’, he means ‘complete bullshit’.” Kimmel went on to cite a study that found far-right groups were the greatest source of domestic terrorism and extremist violence in the US. The Department of Justice has removed the study from its website. ([url]https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/17/justice-department-study-far-right-extremist-violence[/url])

“Here’s a question JD Vance might be able to answer: who wanted to hang the guy who was vice-president before you? Was that the liberal left? Or the toothless army who stormed the Capitol on January 6?” he said.

What happened to Don Cherry here in the great free country of Canada ?

[chuckChuck]

TSN on it's own fired Cherry for an anti immigrant rant about them not buying poppies.

There was no government agency threatening to take away TSN's broadcast license like Trump and the FCC are doing!

[chuckChuck]

Trump pardoned the violent right wing supporters who stormed the Capitol and threatened and committed violence on January 6th. Including hanging his vice president Pence!

Trump in effect supports and encourages violence on the right but doesn't defend the freedom of speech and wants to jail anyone who he deems a leftist!

Yup Trump's MAGA America!

Did it ever crossyour mind cc that kimmel picked the absolute wrong time to mock a man that just had his friend murdered ? their are lines that shud not be crossed

[chuckChuck]

So Crop you are saying state media control and interference by Trump is okay because Trump is grieving and offended?

And that free speech and the first amendment don't apply in the good ole USA?

So you believe in cancel culture Crop?

Because Trump has been offending and mocking veterans, prisoners of war, disabled people, women, and has committed numerous sexual assault and associated with pedophile. But he wasn't cancelled!

Freedom of speech should never Trump (pun not intended) common decency... that is the problem with you lefties... As for Don Cherry, his point was 100% accurate and CC, you and AS probably should sit this one out. The immigrants, and anyone else that wants to enjoy the freedoms we have in this country, should absolutely have some respect for the poppy and those who sacrificed all which it represents. I am sick and ****ing tired of all the "oh they want to take our freedom of speech away" bullshit that has been in the media lately. If someone like Kimmel, or any of the crying babies that lost their jobs over mocking a man who was killed for having a different opinion than them, want to leave, then ****ing leave, we aren't stopping you! It is time that common sense came back into the world, or at least in Canada and the US. Our time is coming, and for those of you opposed, take off eh!

[cropgrower]

BS cc , i did not say that , go back and read what i said in another thread , i said when governments right or left decide what speech is acceptable that is very dangerous territory
