Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I mean, why wouldn't he? The last time he sued them, he ended up $16 million richer. The thing about stupid people is they generally learn by behavioural conditioning more than anything else. Rat push button, rat get reward, so rat push button again.
ABC thought they were buying safety for a mere $16 million, which was pocket change to them. In reality, all they did was tell Trump where the treats can be found. Now he's gonna be like a dog that found a cookie in the couch cushions one time, and so now goes rooting around in there every time he can because there might be another one.
This is the most apt description of Trump and this situation I have ever seen.
ABC thought they were buying safety for a mere $16 million,
And we all said at the time, that's not how blackmail works. Once they've gotten money out of you, you can count on them coming back for more.
Your dog analogy reminded me of a story I once heard, about a guy walking his dog. One day, his dog found a package of pork chops that were inexplicably hidden under a bush. For that dog, it was literally like finding buried treasure. It made such an impact on him, that he checked under that bush on every wall, for YEARS.
is this what you're thinking of?
No, it was definitely pork chops.
Man, if only the TV network, ABC, had ever made any type of story related to Blackmail. I bet if they had made some sort of Soap Opera type program, they may have had an inkling how that may go. Alas.
I'm so fucking sick of looking at him and listening to his gaped asshole of a mouth spreading ignorance and lies.
They say he smells like a gaped asshole too
Because his actual asshole has been made so loose by Putin fucking him, that he's incontinent and constsntly has shit in his diaper.
He should be sued for defying the first amendment
You spelt deposed wrong.
You spelt decapitated wrong.
I think you mean "disposed"
He should be sued for making us listen to his stupid bullshit all the time.
I seriously think we need an organized movement to respond to him universally with "Shut the hell up, asshole."
Shut the fuck up Donny.
It's shit like this that the lawyers were waiting for. The ape was subtle enough with the threats last time that the government couldn't be implicated in Kimmel's termination. This is definitive. This is blatant government censorship and a violation of the first amendment.
Yeah, Legal Eagle covered this. Check out their channel on https://nebula.tv/
In short, ABC and Disney absolutely have standing to sue the government over this. If they want to.
£50 says nothing happens and he gets away with it
It's shit like this that the lawyers were waiting for.
I always thought it was unrealistic that Charlie Brown would keep trying to kick the football. "Surely" I thought to myself "a real person would have learned their lesson long ago that it's not going to happen."
And here we are with people somehow still thinking "ah yes, this time the football will be kicked!"
to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution
I dont think Donny would be my go to subject matter expert on campaign finance laws
And not that it matters in the world of hypocrisy, but fox news might as well be the Republican News Network...

This is an impeachable offense. Will the Democrats even attempt performative politics?

Please do. Discovery will be a bitch.
Edit: Do not try to placate fascists and/or bullies. They always come back for more. ABC marked themselves as weak and will have to fight 10x as hard to get this to stop. If they don't, they will literally give Trump everything, and he will want more.
What a snowflake lol
Do whatever you like in a private capacity you diaper wearing taco. Threaten to use a government agency, that's a technical foul. Back to the first amendment line.
He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution.
lol. lmao
He needs to be careful with that rhetoric, or they will use it against him. They could say that Fox News is an extension of the RNC, and just simply list all of the people he's hired that are former Fox News people. I'm fairly certain he's the dumbest president we've had, even more so than Bush Jr.
W pretended to be dumber than he was to great effect.
IKR? They operate the Conservative Propaganda Machine, which lies so much that it is responsible for the deaths of thousands, perhaps millions of people, and he thinks he can sue a major network because a comedian told a joke.
Donald Trump threatens to sue over lots of things. Let's see if he actually does, as this will be a clear cut violation of the 1st Amendment & a will allow ABC to recoup that $16m + more.
IRC, the merger has gone thru, so they no longer have to pretend to give a shit about Trumppy's widdle fee-fees.
Kimmel should do nothing but Epstein jokes, Trump will clam up real quick.
Why isn't this orange fool in prison yet?
Why does Brazil have to school the United States on how a mature functioning constitutional democracy works?

I like seeing him whine and get upset. 🥤🍿
Let's keep raising his blood pressure.
Get fucked you nazi pedo little snowflake bitch
Let’s sue Turning Point USA for continuing to push Charlie Kirk talking points since it’s a major illegal campaign contribution to the Republican Party! Not only is money speech, but speech is money now!
