I Didn't Say It ...

Stephen Colbert, The Late Show host, revealing that CBS AKA Complete Bull Shit, refused to air his interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico due to bullying by Cankles’ FCC:

“You know, you know who is not one of my guests tonight? That's Texas State Representative James Talarico. He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast. Then, then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on. And because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this. So, you might have heard of this thing called the Equal Time Rule, okay? It's an old FCC rule that applies only to radio and broadcast television, not cable or streaming, that says if a show has a candidate on during an election, they have to have all that candidate's opponents on as well. It's the FCC's most time-honored rule, right after no nipples at the Super Bowl. There's long been an exception for this rule, an exception for news interviews and talk show interviews with politicians. Now, that's crucial. How else were voters supposed to know back in ‘92 that Bill Clinton sucked at saxophone? But, on January 21st of this year, a letter was released by FCC Chairman and smug bowling pin Brendan Carr. In this letter, Carr said he was thinking about dropping the exception for talk shows because he said some of them were motivated by partisan purposes. Well, sir, you're chairman of the FCC, so FCC you. Let's just call this what it is. [Cankles’] administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about [Cankles] on TV because all [Cankles] does is watch TV. Okay? He's like a toddler with too much screen time. He gets cranky and then drops a load in his diapers. So, it's no surprise, it's no surprise that two of the people most affected by this threat are me and my friend Jimmy Kimmel. When this letter dropped, we both talked about the letter on air, and then later, Carr defended it like this: ‘If Kimmel or Colbert want to continue to do their programming, and they don't want to have to comply with this requirement, then they can go to a cable channel or podcast or a streaming service and that's fine.’ Great idea, man whose job is to regulate broadcast TV. Suggest everyone just leave broadcast TV. I can't interview James Talarico. I can't show any pictures of James Talarico. I'm not even sure I can say the words James Talarico. But what I can show you is what we always show when we have to pull material at the last minute. This tasteful nude of Brendan Carr!”

Thankfully, he did show us nekkid Carr.

CBS tried to spin this as a misunderstanding and rushed out a legalistic statement insisting the show had never been “prohibited” from airing the interview. It read like classic corporate damage control from a company that folded fast under a [Cankles] packed FCC and only found its courage once the backlash hit.​

And on Tuesday night Colbert came onstage with receipts literally in hand, holding up the CBS statement and mocking it as “crap” and “a surprisingly small piece of paper considering how many butts it is trying to cover,” while reading out how he had been told he could not have Talarico on or even talk about not having him on. Colbert blasted the [Cankles’] FCC and commissioner Brendan Carr as politically “motivated by partisan purposes” and framed the pulled interview as censorship from the top.

This is a stand for Freedom of Speech y’all, and Colbert is manning the front lines.

Kristian Berg Harpviken, director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, responding to Cankles’ extended tantrum about not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize:

“We see it as important that as many people as possible understand how it is that we work and what the principles are. Whether those lobbying for the prize are receptive to that or not is really beyond our control.”

Oh Cankles, you can whine and moan and send out your Flying Monkeys, but you are the furthest things from peace that has ever trod the Earth.

And that’s saying something.

Gretchen Carlson, former Fox News anchor, on Pammy Jo Bondi’s epic meltdown at being questing by Congress last week:

“To use the Dow reaching 50,000 to cover up for this massive sex ring is despicable. I was so upset that somebody would try to deflect what these women and children have gone through to try and pump up [Cankles] is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.”

Bondi is a lapdog, a bitch, a puppet, a pawn and a criminal co-conspirator. I cannot wait until they come for her.

George Orwell, perhaps forewarning the world about Pamela Jo Bondi in his novel 1984:

“She had not a thought in her head that was not a slogan, and there was no imbecility, absolutely none, that she was not capable of swallowing if the Party handed it out to her.”

It’s almost as if Orwell predicted Pamela Jo Bondi.

Ted Lieu, California Democrat Congressman, showing the hypocrisy if the so-called Attorney General:

“Dear Attorney General Pam Bondi: since you creepily spied on the unredacted Epstein files I read, you know I read this one. Witness calls FBI’s national threats operations center and reports that a girl, who was later found dead, told him that [Candled] and Epstein raped her. When will the Justice Department interview this witness?”

But the Dow!!!!

He’s the greatest president ever!!!

We’re moving on from this!!!

James Talarico, Democratic candidate for Senator from Texas, on the ICEstapo, Kristi Noem, and better ways to spend our money:

“ICE shot a mom in the face. ICE kidnapped a five-year-old boy. ICE executed Alex Pretti in the street in broad daylight. The agency is out of control. We have to impeach Kristi Noem. We’ve got to haul these masked men before congress so the world can see their faces. I would not vote to give this agency any more money. I would take that money and put it back into our healthcare where it belongs.”

Straight shooting common sense; no wondering what he means: he said it.

The DogKiller and her ICEstapo need to be held accountable.

Barack Obama, former President of the United States, on Cankles’ racist post:

“They ask me about [his] latest ‘post.’ We could spend the whole day reacting to every buffoonish spectacle coming out of the White House, but that’s exactly what they want: for us to lose focus. Politics used to have a limit of shame. Today, it seems the strategy is simply to exhaust our capacity for astonishment. Don’t be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”

Wise words, of course, because that’s what you get from Obama at every turn.

Turn off your phones and laptops and iPads and stand up and speak up and march up and and don’t get caught up in the deflection and, what is that other thing? Oh yeah … CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE!!
