While campaigning for president in 2024, Donald Trump promised he would champion free speech. Wow! Isn’t it great we finally have a politician who is keeping his promise?
Trump is upset that so many on-air people make fun of him. He thinks this should be illegal. The quickest way for him to stop comedians from ridiculing him is to quit being so ridiculous. He can start by going to bed at night instead of posting ALL CAPS messages on Fallacy Social.
If Trump actually went to the Wharton School, it couldn’t have been the one at the University of Pennsylvania. No one who went to a business school would ever claim he would decrease drug prices by 500 percent. Or 1000 percent. Or 1500 percent. But that’s what Trump did.

When ABC put Jimmy Kimmel on indefinite hiatus, the reason probably wasn’t because of what the comedian said about Charlie Kirk’s murder or his killer. Because of MAGA’s overwrought reaction to Kirk’s death, it was a convenient excuse for this act of censorship by the network.

Those who watched Kimmel that night heard him say: “The MAGA Gang is desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,”

Seconds later, there was a video clip of Trump’s response when asked how he was holding up after Kirk’s passing.

“I think very good,” said Trump. “And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they’ve been trying to get for about 150 years. And it's gonna be a beauty. It’ll be an absolutely magnificent structure.”

Then Kimmel commented, “He’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction. This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.”

I think that’s what really upset the man aptly described by Rosie O'Donnell as "tangerine Mussolini."

Fortunately, ABC came to its senses and Kimmel was scheduled to return to television on September 23. One hopes this will encourage others to stand up to the pressure being applied by Trump to do things his way — or else.
 
Trump is in favor of arresting people he thinks belong to “the radical left,” but apparently isn't bothered by anyone in the lunatic right. Example: Clueless Fox host Brian Kilmeade, who called for the execution of homeless people. His punishment: being forced to issue a lame ass apology.

Given his hateful nature, it seems inevitable, in one of his executive orders, Trump will change the name of our country to the Divided States of America and declare himself Emperor Donald I. The next Olympic games will be rocked by shouts of "DSA! DSA! DSA!"

Upon completion of the dreaded White House ballroom, the Trump Colosseum will be built. Political enemies will be thrown to the lions, with other entertainment provided by Vince McMahon's wrestlers. Thereafter the letters in MAGA will stand for, "Melania, Aren't Gladiators Awesome!"

My compliments to the 58 Democratic members of the House of Representatives who voted against a resolution to honor Charlie Kirk.

I confess I was lucky enough to have never heard of Kirk until the day he was shot during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University.

So I watched videos of Kirk and heard him say we never should have passed the civil rights act, that women should blindly obey their husbands, that Donald Trump won the 2020 election, and that school shootings were a price he was willing to pay because, in his warped view, they somehow strengthened our faith in the second amendment.

His murder was a senseless, despicable act. It's understandable that those who knew him or believed his nonsense would mourn his passing. But no way was Charlie Kirk a great American.

It's too bad he didn't live a full life, long enough to become a doting grandfather. With age comes wisdom. Maybe one day in the not too distant future he would have realized he was misguided. Which is true of extremists on the left as well as the right.
If my prayers are answered, the so-called off-year election in 2026 will put the House of Representatives and the Senate firmly back into the hands of Democrats. If so, I hope they do the right thing and impeach Trump for the third time and finally succeed in removing him from office. He’s committed many impeachable offenses; perhaps the worst is what he did to the White House rose garden.

As much as I enjoy YouTube videos that criticize and ridicule Trump, I think some of them have lost their punch and are not delivering on the promises made in the headlines that accompany them.

Saddest of the bunch are those on the Meidas Touch from Ben Meiselas who introduces almost every one of his videos by saying Trump had "a disastrous press conference," only to show viewers the president dishing out another word salad of lies and stories of conversations that never took place. In other words, Trump as usual.

A truly disastrous press conference would be one so bad that it would snap Republican congress members out of the trance they've been in since 2017.

Also, while I once loved Jon Stewart's political commentary on "The Daily Show" and still find the program's writing very funny, Stewart's grab bag of "aren't I cute?" facial expressions, hand gestures and mannerisms have become tiresome and detract from the humor.

On the other hand, I'm enjoying Seth Meyer's "A Closer Look" as much as ever, though I fear he'll be Trump's next target in his assault of the very thing he said he would protect.
