Honestly, I think the idea of Nexstar removing Kimmel from their affiliates to court government approval of their purchase is just as bad on its face as them removing Kimmel from their affiliates because the government explicitly demanded them to.

Isn’t the problem that Trump was electable after all?

Don’t you know winks mean kidding?

My guess is that Scott Harris believes Verlander would be a suboptimal culture fit for this team.

So become you. Got it. 😉

but trannies

Look, let’s be clear about what happened: Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air because the Trump regime didn’t like what he had to say, and threatened his employer until they shut Kimmel up. It wasn't that Kimmel was fired because he "pissed off his bosses." It wasn't because he used any "magic words". It wasn't because he "celebrated" anyone's death. He merely offended the regime, the regime pressured the network with business penalities, the network complied. It was nothing short of an attack on a basically principle of democracy. It can't be any simpler or more complex than that.

Can the commission interfere with the right of free speech by means of [over-the-air] broadcast communication if the speaker pisses his boss off?

Oh yeah, I totally remember when Chuck Schumer got Tucker Carlson fired.

So to recap: Charlie Kirk, media personality: political assassination, fly flags at half-mast. Melissa Hortman, Minnesota state legislator: not a political assassination, leave flags alone. Do we have that straight?

It was legal in Germany once.

I promise that if in an alternate universe Fox News were was the liberal channel and Brian Kilmeade said anything on it the regime didn't like, that would definitely threaten the Fox broadcast network with license revocation unless they fired Meade, whether he said it on cable or not. And deny it if you like, but you know that's true.

Didn't "The View" already do that at 9AM?

Kudos for successfully and coherently using "MAGA" and "intellectual" in the same sentence.

Apparently, John Oliver is not yet on his radar.

"Collective action" is for communists. Collusive action, however ...

Fun fact, the FCC doesn't regulate newspapers (yet), so regime can't apply any kind of licensing threat to them.

Too late, I’m already short on that.

Trump might be an idiot who doesn’t know where his own ass is, but he knows where other people’s pain points are.

FWIW, the Tigers are tied for 5th in hitters’ walk rate for the month of September, during which we are 5-9. We also have the highest OBP on 3-2 counts for the season at .484, as well as the 4th highest BA and 6th highest SLG. I do agree it does look very bad when we flail on 3-2 counts.

Honest question: If the American economy is certain to blow up, what do you recommend our action item be here? Jurisdictional diversification? Gold bars and crypto? Something else?

If Tarik Skubal is our only hope, then we have no hope, because that’s not nearly enough hope.

I was at the Manny Lee game the day before.
