    They said they were going after him next once they got Colbert cancelled. The Kirk thing is just a convenient excuse. They were going to do this either way.

    They really don’t like hearing the truth that Kirk’s executioner was hard right wing, do they?

      The joke wasn’t even about the executioner, it was about trump dealing with his emotions about Kirk. They played a clip of somebody asking how Trump was dealing with the loss, and trump deflected to the gold in the ballroom type nonsense.

      People were quick to call him a liberal wacko, but they are pretty silent now.

      I heard he was a groyper. I haven’t heard of that term before. I tried looking into it, but I’m coming up short. Is there any new evidence?

      I was browsing and saw some conservative sub talking about how the liberals are quiet now that something came out but it was all kind of nebulous and I couldn’t exactly figure out what they were talking about.

    More like he was pulled because the greed of a network that wants to get rich off of an anti-trust merger that Trump sells out on the cheap for political persecutions.

    Canada should pick up his show, this way he can continue being critic of Trump and the magat movement and say what he wants without the reach of the facist regime.

    Fuck America. It’s rancid.

      Canada isn’t the mighty hero everyone (including Canadians, including myself) want us to be. We do push back already. We are trying to be a leader in resistance and doing everything we reasonably can to undermine this evil movement. But if we push back too hard and too directly against them, we will get stomped. The things that have been going on make me worried we may get occupied eventually anyway no matter what we do, they’ve already started building the case and making the noises.

      Canada is tough enough that we have traditionally, and figure we still can, get away with poking the bear on a regular basis, as long as we don’t poke any sensitive areas or cause any real damage. And we do, and it aggravates them, and that’s probably fine, and when they swing back at us they leave us with a few scars we are justifiably proud of and maybe a little resentful for and life goes on. But that’s as far as we can go. If we ever start knifing them instead of just poking, targeting sensitive areas and causing actual wounds, they are going to kill us with a single swipe of their claws and there will be no more scars just a casket, “Here lies Canada, who thought their vast territory and vast resources and plucky determination would protect them forever from being a constant aggravation to the biggest military and economy on Earth”.

      It’s all in good fun as long as they also think it’s good fun. Now that we know they don’t, we’re just handing them more reasons to turn against us. We need to stop acting like we’re invulnerable. We aren’t, we’re actually extremely vulnerable.

      Why should it be Canada’s job to rescue the US from its own stupidity?

      Clean your own damn house.

      Canada don’t pay enough for this regime whore and it does not provide the same network access.

      There is an opportunity to play the online angle here but i don’t know if Canada got the balls to fund Canada propaganda within US like Israel and Russia do.

    Billionaires own the media and pull the strings. Once you realize that they do this with social media on a micro level, the state of the world starts making more sense.
