FCC orders Disney to seek early license renewals after Trump targets Jimmy Kimmel

Michelle Ringler10

Yeah, going after networks over jokes isn’t exactly a great look for ‘free speech.

cremationladyfl.bsky.social6

Oh for heavens sake. What a bunch of thin skinned people. Goodness, the crap and vitriol that Obama put up w every single day was significantly worse. Do NOT pull their license FCC. WTF!!!

klt1957.bsky.social6

The last time ABC and Disney tried to "control" Kimmel and his monologues it backfired and Disney lost a good portion of their customers. ABC has also already paid the Trumps 15M. Two choices: Fire him and see what happens. It won't be pretty. Or read the 1st Amendment again and get over it.

America Will Survive This 🙏4

He is using the justice system for his personal petty revenge on people. There must be a way Congress can stop him.

LaurieKafka3

If they cave, we will all retaliate by not watching them. That’s easy! They mostly respond to their bottom line, $$$. So we will see about this.

Tony Serrata 🇺🇦3

HE CAN'T READ! HE'S AN ILLITERATE MORON AND FASCIST

CBTbiscuit2

They cant do this so easily, or at all despite the threats. If they would they would have already, any court would overturn a pulled license. Disney needs to ignore this or else face another massive loss from subscribers ditching as they did last time

Kate Sometimes2

Senator, I think you ask a bit much of Dear Leader. Do you really suppose he CAN read?

joe-jacobs.bsky.social2

I don’t think that Donald Trump knows how to read

The ManFromtheBalcony2

Come on Bernie the 🍊 🤡 can barely read the McDonald’s menu! It’s why he orders the same thing over and over! And by what acts has the 🤡 demonstrated he gives one 💩 about what’s in the constitution ?

thackwallop.bsky.social15

You guys need to watch British TV, they can be brutal about politicians. I thought that America was the land of free speech. Turns out it was the UK and Europe all along despite what JD Dunce tells you.

theantisnowflake.bsky.social9

All ABC has to do is what Trump's monkeys do all the time -- ignore the orders. Let them sue.

Debbie 🌹6

And they have the audacity to criticise UK about free speech which we do have

Sunshine 💚 Jeep Girl6

It’s called the first amendment, if any harm comes to Jimmy and anyway ABC and Disney and the FCC will have to answer to the people. If ABC or Disney do not have a backbone to fight an easy fight for the first amendment rights of themselves, and for the people, then they should not be in business.

Brendan Parry Kaufmann5

Don't you people have a "First Amendment" guaranteeing freedom of speech, in that Constitution of yours that you're always banging on about?

Kris Koles5

Trump hates Freedom of Speech...the right of citizens to criticize Trump and his chaotic, incompetent, corrupt government.

Hairball5

And how is America a free country? This is what fucking dictatorships do.

Nonya Bidniss3

It's called fascism. Mussolini and Hitler did it, now the Republican Party is doing it. They're not "colleagues," if Dems could figure that out. They're possessing the body of a dead political party to give themselves standing to dominate and abuse the people, and trample the Constitution.

R8D8ION3

Brendan Carr is the type of guy who shows up at the emergency room and tries to bullshit his way through how a phallic-shaped household item got stuck in his anus.

George Amberson3

If only there were a system to check them and balance their power.

just822.bsky.social3

It wasn't the arson of 1933, (Reichstag fire) but the immediate pivot from a security breach to a demand for an underground bunker rhymed with the swiftness of a dictator’s ascent.

Darbz20

What a joke. In the Obama years you could buy range targets of him for crying out loud.

The one thing everyone must realize lest you let them get away with it is that everything they come up with is to distract from the Epstein files; therefore, you want to associate their distraction for the day with Epstein incorporated into your post.

The Seashell Conspiracy. We are such a dumb country,

riversofsound.bsky.social10

Someone explain to me that this wasn't a threat against the then-VP. Trump's crowd was chanting "Hang Mike Pence" and built this: (Photo from NYT) I know they're not scary sea shells, but seems very bad to me.

Deirdre [REDACTED]9

The thing about James Comey is that love him or hate him - he’s got a successful track record as a lawyer & he’ll run circles around the bottom of the barrel DOJ lawyers - bc that’s all that’s left.

They are reaching the end of their ropes

What’s amazing is that if not for the Comey letter about Hillary she would have been the President!

BlueShifting5

Protecting speech under the first amendment has become a shell game!

Are they really come for all of us?? This is my car!

And as for Trump: his refusal to mitigate coronavirus, which led to the deaths of over 1 mil Americans, his cuts in USAID, which has led to the deaths of nearly 1 mil Africans, his bombing of an Iranian girls school, citizen Pretti - dead, citizen Good - dead and still, Trump remains a free man.

jayjohns69.bsky.social5

DOJ will lose this case Lots of people get 86 from bars Being 86 doesn't mean the bouncer takes you outside & murders them Jesus fucking Christ these people have lost their minds to waste government tax dollars on a failed case like this

David Reeves aka Photoline4

Video of clams plotting the overthrow of the USA.

spunkyoldlady.bsky.social4

I don't see anything wrong with it, I thought 86 meant throw away or get rid of which in my thinking means impeach, arrest, confine or 25th amendment or vote in replacement. No violence at all.

librahf.bsky.social3

This is absurd, a very sick man wants this done, and some sick men are going to do it….This is why we are becoming a third world country……….i would like a day when I didn’t have to hear Trumps voice, see his picture, or even hear his name spoken…....he is all over the place like a nightmare….

Survive America: 20262

"86" has always been a shorthand term for simply getting rid of somebody, it was never intended to be a death threat. This is another tax-payer funded frivolous lawsuit to distract from the President's sex crimes with children.

MFSTEVE15

Hypocrite Democrats who attend No Kings protests say "King me" during game of checkers??

The Spaceshipper 🚀7

It's really a show for just a few people.

Progress or Backwards2

I find that they never are busy touting their "wins" on the economy, egg prices, immigration, Obama did more, foreign trade, gave global market share to BRIC, etc. and seem solely focused on just playground bully tactics with the Democratic politicians. His oligarchy owned media plays along.

Katherine 🪴2

I would love it if Trump had as much power as Charles has in the UK, tbh.

Down the Spiral2

This is just fucking sad

🐧 Sam Duvall 🐧2

Jay Gatling in the 4th photo is so close to getting it. King Charles is an *actual* king, appointed by his government. Trump is not a king, but acts like one. Hope that helps, Jay.

Mike Kozak🎷🇨🇦🌈2

These shitheads are either fucking stupid or maliciously disingenuous. Fascists either way. Besides, shame on King Charles for even making the trip.

Paul Hikari15

Remember the last time the Trump tried to go after broadcast licenses? Or how about the last time they tried to take Kimmel off the air? Spoiler alert: they lost both times.

I should live so long as to want to taunt Disney's legal department.

This administration has incredibly thin skin and can't take a joke. In other words, conform to the MAGA agenda or be silenced.

windupminfilia.bsky.social4

Eather way it's a loss of money for everyone involved

BiggBirdman3

Again this is just the dumbest timeline 🤦‍♂️

Ody3

Disney should sue the living fuck out of both the FCC and Brendan Carr personally.

OSINTRadar3

👑 “TWO KINGS” — White House admits Trump’s title The White House is now openly admitting Demented Don’s egomaniac ambitions, posting a picture of him with King Charles with the caption “TWO KINGS.” “I’m not a king,” Trump said just yesterday. ✅️Follow us : @osintradar.bsky.social

Can someone sue them? Public ?

David Kuhne8

Brendan Carr is 47 years old? Ten years younger than Paul Rudd?

TheWotch4

I just am am continually baffled at how these idiots got into power *again*. I don't think I'll ever fully comprehend it. ...god, he's been making our lives worse for over a decade at this point...

Guess the pentagon had a bring your kid to work day too.

Okay, I had missed the Kid Rock at the Pentagon detail. Wow.

"Really?" Same vibes. Perfect execution.

Mitch Solomon7

Disney will fight like it’s goddamned Anzio. You may as well make a meme with the new CEO baring his knife-carrying teeth wearing a Che Guevara bandana.

mrmilesweaver.bsky.social6

No, it won't. Any court in the country would toss this on First Amendment grounds in seconds. Their licences aren't up for years. Carr is a bootlicking fascist that needs to be investigated the second Democrats take back the House and the Senate

Deep Hurting 🐈🐈‍⬛𓃠5

One thing Disney has is a rather large bank account. If anybody's got the $$$ to fight the gov't, it's Disney. Jimmy has the right to say whatever he likes, if you don't like it too bad. Fu*k your feelings.

Switch needs politicians to stop hurting kids.4

Wow, Disney learned from the last time Kimmel was targeted...

Kim3

The fact anyone assumed Disney would not stand by him is damning in itself and Disney's own fault.

Jimmy's joke is no where near a true prediction (unfortunately) as Leavitts Freudian slip. They ( thems in Trump's inner circle) knew something was going to go down. Needs to be another congressional investigation. Investigation of SS| Congress.gov | Library of Congress share.google/DBGV3yahF6Hr...
