  1. Past hour
  2. I believe it’s @jross who has an eloquent argument to why you’re wrong. Read that. Enjoy the weekend. show proof of real fcc threats. They fine people all the time. I don’t recall them doing anything formal. Did abc or Disney get fined. If Disney knee jerk reacts punitively 30 business seconds after some dude on a news show says we might look into something they may need to seek better corporate council.
  3. Hossein Rangraz and Farshad Alizadeh are his coaches. They are Iranian and were on the GR team in the 2000s.
  4. Correct because I understand the English rules and context.
  5. How do they determine that?
  6. Maybe Trump decides who the members are. What can go wrong w that?
  7. you dont think the govt knows who they are? hasn't tracked them?
  8. The $50 million you quote is the total value of his contract with ABC over multiple years. He has other responsibilities with ABC including hosting Who Wants to be a Millionaire and various awards shows. I don't know what if anything in your figure includes payment for those other things, for which ABC has not announced he has been removed from, but assuming it is 100% tied to his late night responsibilities there isn't much left to save. It ends in May there is likely less than $10M left to save. ABC likely cannot get out of paying that money to him regardless and if they should try the costs of litigation will reduce any savings. Practically speaking there will be a settlement because ABC will not want their decision making process made public and for Kimmel to agree to a settlement it will have to be close to what he is owed. Trying to count the value of a future contract as savings from tied to this decision is a little deceptive. There was a financial reckoning for late night hosts on the horizon before this. When that contract with Kimmel was signed the format was profitable. Now there are not enough late night watchers to justify the cost. Colbert's show costs $100M/year to produce of which $20M is his salary and is losing $40M/year. Despite being #1 and #2 in the time slot no one was going to offer Colbert or Kimmel as favorable terms in their next contract regardless of Trump's opinion of them. Colbert's show losing $40M also means it brings in $60M in revenue. That $60M in revenue comes from advertisers wanting their ads on the #1 program in that time slot. Kimmel is #2 so less likely less revenue, but advertisers are paying to reach that audience they will not pay the same rate if they are airing reruns of the Man Show and a green screen will bring in $0 in revenue. Kimmel's salary and much of the productions costs have already been spent and cannot be recovered by this move. Cancelling him after the season if he was not willing to take a pay cut or operate on a reduced budget makes sense, but cancelling now only really adds up if you factor in possible FCC enforcement and/or the merger.
  9. Who are Farokhisenjani’s coaches? Are they both Iranian?
  10. Okay when Bill says MAGA but a dog whistle when someone else says it?
  11. Ok. Let me know when you figure out who is part of that organization. @JimmySpeaks claims to be an expert.
  12. Wait, weren’t you the guy that doesn’t think Kirk saying “stupid Muslims” was a slight against all Muslims? GTFO with this nonsense.
  13. I had to salvage my journalistic integrity, after opinions to the contrary. hahaha
  14. It is safer to let Andy Ngo continue to risk his life doing so. It does not need formalities to be real. It is real.
  15. I believe you may have misinterpreted Charlie Kirk's comments due to a misunderstanding of English language conventions. After reviewing the relevant rules, I’m confident that your inferred meaning is incorrect in both JK and CK instances. I validated English language rules because I recognize that personal biases can subtly shape our interpretations.
  16. So who are their members? Name one, and let's arrest them.
  17. Antifa is a decentralized movement of activists, some of whom engage in domestic terrorism, and of which many supporters are known for their violence. The criminals should be punished to the law's extent. It is violence from groups and ideologies that help influence our country into a police state.
  18. Acting as if selective outrage is a partisan issue is laughable. Did you forget Bud Light, Coca-Cola, Cracker Barrel, Taylor Swift, Megyn Kelly, or anything related to a rainbow? Or do you just ignore that because it's from people you like and agree with? Kimmel didn't get fired for anything he said about Kirk - watch the monologue, he doesn't really say anything about him, but rather he makes fun of Trump's reaction to questions about it. But just like you, I don't care if Kimmel got fired/suspended, whatever they're call it. I do have an issue with the administration using the FCC to threaten networks for a comedian making fun of the President. That is not the same as Roseanne being an overt racist on social media and a network canceling her show.
  19. Wow, I entered the workforce kind of late at 26. My mom demanded that I invest in the company 401k. I did as instructed. I had the 70+ amount when I was 45. It is not at the 5 million mark I would like, but it is quite a bit greater than than that over the time from then to now. So I guess I am doing better than what the average dude is doing out there. With no pensions anymore in private enterprise, that kind of saving just isn't going to cut it. mspart
  20. So why aren't we going to their headquarters and arresting the heads of that organization or at least their members?
  21. He said they were trying to characterize him as anything but one of them. He wasn’t saying what he actually was. Yes, that is probably implied, but he didn’t say it. Kinda like a lot of Charlie Kirk’s comments.
  22. Bravo and a tip of the cap to you, well done.
  23. Zahid. Nobody on the planet is on his level right now.
  24. known trumpers declare antifa terror org. https://bnonews.com/index.php/2025/09/dutch-parliament-adopts-motion-to-classify-antifa-as-a-terrorist-organization/
