Jimmy Kimmel on Involuntary "Hiatus"
 
It's getting dark out there, guys.

Yet a vote on censuring Ilhan Omar (a whackjob imo) failed in the House today by just one vote. Perhaps this is less about politics than setting a precedent by the Republicans.

Sure is, Noogies. Supposed free speech advocate gets murdered and the conservatives in charge are going great guns shutting down free speech.

This S.A.R. eligible citizen doesn't feel safe in my own country any longer. :(

Getting tired of hearing ""WE TOLD YOU SO""? People who inform others of your actions.

Removing their voices works to stop this!
Still is there you know.

I guess "cancel culture" works for everyone

What I commonly see as 'cancel culture' is people not buying products (which can be a wide variety of things) from people/companies they disagree with.

Having a show taken off the air because the FCC chair (who worked on Trump's campaign, BTW) didn't like what somebody said is something entirely different. Starts with an 'F'.

How long before Grumpy gets a call from somebody in this administration saying they don't like some of the comments on this forum?

It could happen.

Well it appears free speech is not dead.
As long as you stay on the same page or message that is!

I'm not worried, though. I hear Chuck Schumer is going to write a strong letter.

A strongly worded letter.

Cancel culture is cultural. Authoritarian censorship from the top of the government is a ton more dangerous. Government can come down a lot harder and faster, on a lot more people. With governmental authority and power, you can fill camps (that's one model) or you can do violent cultural revolution everywhere at once (a complementary model, the Red Guards had camps too).
