So this is incredible. FCC boss Brendan Carr is claiming he can go after DIsney/ABC because Kimmel said Kirk's shooter was MAGA. Two problems with this: (1) He can't and (2) Kimmel didn't actually say that. He just said that MAGA world was trying to prevent people from claiming he was MAGA. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreia5jwon6xrqbms626nftyqm2it5tko4fjydleajt276imjnbhaoci

Lol. I read the article about the new centrist think tank, and my goodness, why would anyone back this guy who seems to... not be very good at his job? All of your candidates failed to generate excitement in the base and lost, except for the one who did, but then flipped on everything immediately. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreidylf4th6pxh6hrmol5vs5fysmq3lawk66gszasc5tzygr2cg2mb4

Lol. If you look up "it's okay when the President does it" in the dictionary, they have a picture of John Yoo. So for him to say this is quite something. This is the guy who wrote the legal memo justifying torture. And now he's all "hey, there's a line!" RE:
