  1. he was fired the same day the FCC threatened ABC. The commissioner publicly bragged about it and threatened more of the same to other networks. If you can't see the connection, good luck having a successful life.
  2. do you listen to gutfield? He seems to think he's funny.
  3. To maga's, it's all worth it for this: "Cause ***** you guys that's why". This is who they are. This is what they want. did the biden admin or the FCC coerce fox to fire him? nah, it was about the massive lawsuit they lost. or maybe it was for one of the reasons mentioned here, none of which have anything to do with the federal govt https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/why-was-tucker-carlson-fired-fox-news-b2354146.html
  4. Ted Cruz speaks the truth for once https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ar-AA1MUz2S WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz says FCC chairman Brendan Carr sounded more like an organized crime boss than a federal regulator when he threatened to revoke ABC’s licenses over comments by late night host Jimmy Kimmel. The Texas Republican emphasized how much he hates what Kimmel said about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk – and how much he likes and works closely with Carr. Having high-ranking federal officials threaten ABC in such a way, however, is “dangerous as hell” because it presents a slippery slope that could end with conservatives facing government censorship down the road, Cruz said. “If the government gets in the business of saying ‘We don’t like what you, the media have said, we’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we like,’ that will end up bad for conservatives,” Cruz said on his Friday podcast. Cruz is an important voice on the subject in part because he’s chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, which is responsible for FCC oversight. “That’s right out of Goodfellas,” Cruz said. “That’s right out of a mafioso coming into a bar going ‘Nice bar you have here. It’d be a shame if something happened to it.’”
  5. He reads only memes and tweets and supposedly, nursing journals…
  6. Deplorable but at least you’re honest.
  7. he wasn't in violation. yjey didn't need to threaten ABC. They could have just followed established FCC enforcement measures. trump wasn't banned from twitter through coercion on the goats part...
  8. you keep posting this. I'm not a lawyer and I'l;l bet you aren't either. II don't think the excerpt supports your narrative. Perhaps one of the boards lawyers cn chime in. Constitutional lawyers appear to have a consensus that this was unconstitutional.
  9. so why did the FCC need to threaten?
  10. What might be untrue? The sleazy FCC director publicly bragged about threatening Disney and Nexstar
  11. "jawboning" https://www.kuow.org/stories/legal-experts-say-pulling-jimmy-kimmel-from-air-may-amount-to-illegal-jawboning The decision is not happening in a vacuum. Nexstar announced recently that it is in the process of trying to acquire its rival, Tegna, in a deal estimated to be worth $6.2 billion that is subject to the review of Carr's FCC. Nexstar also needs Carr's support to loosen regulations to complete the deal. Under current rules, no one company can own stations that reach more than 39% of U.S. households. The Nexstar-Tegna tie-up is estimated to extend the company's combined reach into 80% of American homes. Carr celebrated the series of events kicked off by Nexstar, thanking the company on X for "doing the right thing." Carr wrote: "I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar's lead."
  12. from your link: The First Amendment also prohibits the government from coercing private actors to take actions that suppress other private entities' speech.11
  13. i mean the biggest liar on the planet ordering his minions to go after critics. and the sheeple calmly accept it....
  14. look at yall celebrating the loss of free speech. Freedom!
  15. the graph shows the median used car price at a low of 22k and a high of 31k. That's a bit less than a 40% increase. for easier math, lets say it actually increased more - 50%. if a 5k car appreciated 50% in that period it would be worth 7.5k on the market. 7.2k on 40% appreciation.
  16. " Beaters that people used to be able to buy for $5000 were selling for $10,000" at it's highest, the prices increased 50% in that time period. your example was 100%. So you were off by a factor of 2 even for the very short period of time that was true. It' not my graph. It's from Car gurus
