A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

The Trump administration is fascist. And ABC cynically caved and abandoned American values for money. Both are worthy of your contempt.
Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest:
Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes
ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No
For years people have been yelling at me about how the FCC has to get those crooks at Fox off the air and that there’s no risks of such power being abused or used by people they don‘t like because that’s slippery slope nonsense.
