    It’s interesting to finally hear a call for mass physical protests… over Kimmel. I support the position, but what is the demand to make at the state capitol? As far as I’m concerned, it’s not a legal matter if a company wants to cancel an entertainer. When a conservative runs their mouth and gets fired, we say “freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequences.” The Kimmel suspension is bullshit but it seems to me like the Kennedy appointment and ICE deployments were far bigger deals and much more worth hitting the streets over.

      I say state capital because I know very few people in this accursed existence that can just drop what they’re doing to bolt for DC. Feels like that didn’t really need explaining, but anyways.

      It’s literally not about Kimmel specifically, and trying to make that point just makes you come across as disingenuous. This is about the fact that the President of the United States snapped his fingers and had a dissenting private citizen removed from their job. It doesn’t matter who, it matters that it’s a direct attack against the constitution from the Oval Office with no nuance to distract from the corruption.

      This, of course, is made worse by the fact that Kilmeade went all Final Solution on Fox & Friends to the sounds of CRICKETS just this week so… 🤷🏽‍♂️
