Tyler Robinson is a Mormon.

So what?

Damn, it's impossible to make a point with you guys, Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk, he is an individual, but you and your MAGA cohorts can't seem to comprehend that, your bloodlust overshadows and rational thought, and so, you are desperate to say the left killed Kirk, or "radical left groups" killed Kirk, or antifa killed Kirk, or whatever lie you feel like telling, but the fact is, despite your lies, there is no indication that Tyler Robinson has ever been associated in any way with the left, any "radical left groups", or antifa to support your fantasy that these groups killed Charlie Kirk.

But it is a fact that Tyler was a Mormon, so if we apply your deranged logic, it was "the Mormons" that killed Charlie Kirk.

I keep forgetting the audience here, sarcasm is way over your heads, I need to remember to dumb it down, but unfortunately, there's probably always going to be a language barrier when I talk to MAGA because I'm just not fluent in stupid.

So was/is Harry Reid.

Was, not is, Harry Reid died in 2021.

Try another; that one is old news [woke].

Have you been tested for WDS (Woke Derangement Syndrome)?

Did you try the deep breathing and counting to ten thing I suggested?

Try repeating, over and over, "Calm down, it's just a word",

I know the problem is it has its origins in African American Vernacular English, but that doesn't mean white supremacy is under attack, it isn't "poisoning the blood" of America, it's just a word, you have to find a way to suppress the rage welling up in you whenever you hear that word, it just isn't healthy.

Perhaps you could seek professional help.

Aren't you the one here claiming those big execs are doing it all wrong?

No, that's you just making shit up again.

I saw this on Canadian news: Some guy did a drive-by shooting at an ABC building.

Yeah, that was in Sacramento, I think.

You are not that guy that shot up those ABC execs, are you?

No, nobody "shot up those ABC execs", that's just something you made up, a guy did shoot into a Sacramental ABC affiliate's lobby, nobody was injured, the guy was released on bail, but hey, you guys really do have a flair for drama.

In case you're wondering, I'm also not the guy who starts forest fires with Jewish Space Lasers.

And when Trump claimed Justin Trudeau was secretly the son of Fidel Castrol, that's not true either.

I think MAGA stands for Make Assholes Gullible Again.

No wonder Trump said, "I love the poorly educated".

That's all true, but August was god-awful. Investors look at trends, not accolades.

I love how MAGA dumbasses think they know more about climate science than climate scientists, they know more about vaccines than the medical community, and they know more about Television than Television executives.

You know, those TV Executives make a shitload of money, it would probably be worth your while to, you know, go explain TV to the TV Executives. Once you show them that they are doing it wrong, I'll bet they would make you CEO of the network, and I know it pays well.

I doubt you are going to find many corporate giants today willing to buy 70 million dollars worth of airtime to target the 125,000 in the key demographic recorded in August 2025. That's 560 advertising dollars per person. And people who watch that kind of entertainment in the key demographic aren't particularly known for being heavy consumers.

LOL, you guys just make up lies, again, good luck finding somebody stupid enough to swallow your propaganda, here are the facts:

1) Jimmy Kimmel Live! generated nearly $70 million in ad revenue year-to-date from over 200 brands.

2) Jimmy Kimmel Live! averaged 1.77 million viewers in the last full quarter.

I really don't see the point of the lies you guys make up, you do know the only people stupid enough to swallow your horse shit lies are already MAGA supporters, so why make this shit up?

You do know Kimmel was employed by Disney & ABC, yeah? That's who dismissed him for failure to be worth his salary in revenue collection.

You just make up bald-faced lies to support your agenda, you are once again trolling for people stupid enough to swallow your completely fabricated bullshit.

Good luck with that, because unless you can find someone living under a rock, everyone else knows why Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air, and it was not your preposterous lie about being "for failure to be worth his salary in revenue collection.".

We'll let AI respond to your gross dishonesty.

Was Jimmy Kimmel losing money for ABC?

No, it's unlikely Jimmy Kimmel's show was losing money for ABC; while traditional late-night shows have seen declining profits, Jimmy Kimmel Live! was a significant source of revenue, generating nearly $70 million in ad revenue year-to-date from over 200 brands. The indefinite suspension of the show, however, will likely cause ABC to lose this significant ad income and potentially struggle to find new advertisers for that time slot, leading to financial fallout. 

Tyler Robinson is a Mormon, the left didn't kill Charlie Kirk, it was the Mormon's that killed Charlie Kirk.

Given your illogic in this string, I'll not be taking your advice. If that's all you take from my post, don't bother reply; just keep sleeping.

My my, how woke of you.

50% of Canada is the letter A.

AI can't replace MAGA, they will need to develop Artificial Stupidity for that.

I hesitate to advise that humanity exists in a wider frame than simple left/right. The world I live in is 360º thanks, not merely a line. A line is a woke concept, and woke is dead. Y'all liners killed it. requiem in corruptio

Why are you so obsessed with the word "woke"?

The next time you see the word woke, try to take deep breaths and slowly count to ten, maybe that will calm you down.

FCC doesn't regulate cable content, so Trump can scream all he wants if Kimmel joins CNN.

Oh pulease, you really don't know what you are talking about, in the hands of an authoritarian ruler who doesn’t give a shit about the first amendment, the FCC is a powerful weapon for silencing critics.

You are trying to split hairs to justify Trump’s authoritarianism by characterizing his authoritarianism as controlled and subordinate to regulatory conditions of federal agencies, that is nonsense, Trump has added the FCC to his weapons arsenal and can use it any way he wants. Your insistence that the FCC doesn’t regulate cable is hopelessly uninformed, first, the FCC must approve cable network mergers and acquisitions, which is always happening in that business. The FCC also has full regulatory power over the cable content we get to see, which means yes, "Trump can scream all he wants"...OR...what is more likely, as he did with Kimmel, he can simply threaten the networks existence, he can simply take CNN off the air so viewers can’t see it.

CNN doesn’t send its content directly to the viewer, they send it to the local networks and cable providers, and the local provider sends it to the viewers, The FCC regulates the local cable providers, if Trump tells them if to pull Jimmie Kimmel off the air or he will revoke their license and pull them off the air, they have no choice but to comply, and threatening to abuse power is exactly how he got both Kimmel and Colbert off the air.

You can try to justify Trumps actions all you want, but don't try to tell us not to worry because Trump can't do shit, you know damn well an authoritarian ruler can do whatever he wants, and in the wrong hands, a weaponized FCC gives the ruler complete power to decide what content the cable network gets to broadcast.

You can pretend to justify it all you want, we both know that Trump is taking control of the media and eliminating free speech, your comical lies about regulatory guard rails are just a distraction, Trump will do what he wants.

The MAGA movement is all about inequality, this is the retribution presidency they voted for, MAGA does not believe in free speech for the "them" of thier "us/them" thinking. The opposition have no rights, that is one of the core principles of authoritarianism.

Q: What did the Canadian say to the Pillsbury Doughboy?

A: Hey, nice tan.

Why go to Canada when Canada can go to the USA?

You guys still want to be a state?

Most of your US NHL teams have more Canadian players than American. Thanks for the paychecks.

Yes, and it's an inspiration to kids across Canada, work hard and become a great hockey player so you can escape from Canada.

Wasn't he also a political tyrant who jailed journalists because he feared escalations of assassinations?

Nope, that's just inane BS you made up.

Lol there is an entire wiki article on it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_Corpus_Suspension_Act_(1863)

You have to be trolling at this point. I can't believe Americans are that ignorant of their own history.

Obviously, you are the one trolling, you just aren't very good at it. Do you really think we care what America's hat thinks of Lincoln?

I suppose I'm supposed to respond with something derogatory about a great Canadian leader, but since there aren't any, I can't.

How about this:

Question: What's the difference between Sidewalker and the Stanley Cup?

Answer: In the last thirty years, I've been to Canada.

OK Pumpkin, it's your turn, go.

I saw you liked Lincoln.

I do, but what you saw is I like the Lincoln Project, that's an organization of Conservatives fighting against Trump for the soul of the Republican party.

Wasn't he also a political tyrant who jailed journalists because he feared escalations of assassinations?

Nope, that's just inane BS you made up.

And look how that turned out!

How it turned out is, you swallow Trumps lies hook line and sinker, and it turns out you look like an idiot.

Game 6 of the 1996 World Series - Braves vs Yankees

Also who is Charlie Cook?

I just now saw why you asked me that LOL, the answer is a buddy I worked with twenty or thirty years ago.

Much as I find Kimmel unfunny and disagree strongly with Sidewalker here, I don't like that the FCC is being weaponized to threaten a network over what a comedian said.

I thought FCC is there to regulate the content in television.

But, well, I don't know. Maybe it's different in the States.

The role of the FCC is changing in the US, historically, the FCC had limited authority to regulate content because of the First Amendment protections of free speech, FCC authority was limited to restricting obscene or indecent content in television and radio broadcasting.

This has changed as the American people have opted for Fascism, First Amendment protections have been reduced or eliminated and the FCC's role has become weaponized in the hands of the authoritarian leader who has totalitarian control to use the FCC as a tool for silencing critics, subjugating the people, and punishing the authoritarian leader's opposition.

CNN is cable, the FCC doesn't have jurisdiction.

You just get more and more detached from reality, your alternative facts are just wrong pumpkin'

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) oversees interstate and international communications through cable, radio, television, satellite, and wire.

The FCC regulates cable, try again.

I seriously doubt MAGA watches Kimmel, so you can't blame the loss of revenue on them.

There was no loss of revenue, the show was very profitable for the network, taking it off the air creates a huge loss of revenue, and yes, you can blame Trump and MAGA for the loss of revenue he caused when he got Kimmel taken off the air, you are talking nonsense.

It was a product so bad nobody on any side wanted to watch it.

Nonsense, it was a very popular show.

Again, if you want people to tune into content about personal opinions, a comedy show is probably not going to make as much money as an opinion show. If people are not laughing, a comedy show is probably not going to make money. Scary opinions rarely cause laughter, but sells very well on an opinion show.

LOL, yeah, comedians talking about current events and politics is unheard of, what were they thinking? Of course, they are still allowed to praise the glorious leader, that is the best way to comply with FCC regulations.

Trump or MAGA as you named it has no power to stop Kimmel from being a permanent guest on the Abby Phillips show.

Trump has weaponized the FCC to silence his critics, the FCC can threaten to pull the license from the network that carries this Abby Phillips persons show too, it works the exact same way.

Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air over the same comments you're throwing here.

ABC did good, in fact. I saw a lot of news about people being fired from their jobs for mocking Kirk's assaasination in social media. This kind of things shouldn't be allowed because it's not a good example for the youth, specially when it comes from the left.

I saw it differently. ABC hired comedians to entertain people on that show. I think making a speech about how MAGA essentially killed Charlie Kirk wasn't landing squarely as humor enough to justify the production costs of the show. That kind of rhetoric would be more profitable on an opinion/news show.

Good one, I'm sure your MAGA handlers are satisfied with a job well done.

He's going after the print media next, silencing critics is a primary tactic of authoritarian leaders, and of course, Trump wants to profit from it..

Now he's filed a lawsuit against the New York Times, accused the newspaper of "attempting to ruin his reputation as a businessman, sink his campaign and prejudice judges and juries against him in coverage of his campaign". Of course he wants to profit from silencing his critics, so he is suing for $15 billion in compensatory damages, as well as unspecified punitive damages (the sky is the limit).

He's weaponized the FBI, the Justice department, even the US Military

I mean I get your point but isn't that literally the point of the military? To be weaponized?

Nope, the US Military was never intended to be weaponized against the American people for political purposes.

Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air over the same comments you're throwing here.

Much as I find Kimmel unfunny and disagree strongly with Sidewalker here, I don't like that the FCC is being weaponized to threaten a network over what a comedian said.

He's weaponized the FBI, the Justice department, even the US Military, why wouldn't he weaponize the FCC too?

It's all straight out of your Project 2025 handbook, I think the section is titled "Silencing Critics", or maybe "Dispensing with the First Amendment", I can't remember.

No, my reasoning is that had Tyler Robinson been from a family of democrats, living in a town of mostly democrats, and consequently, had not been exposed to the echo chamber of right wing violent and divisive rhetoric, Kirk would not have been assassinated.

I think we can be significantly more certain that if Tyler Robinson himself had been a Republican, Charlie Kirk wouldn't have been assassinated. Difference is that Tyler is directly responsible for the shooting and his family isn't.

Bullshit, that is not what you and the rest of MAGA is saying, you are not saying Tyler is responsible for the shooting, you are saying the left is.

And it is that kind of divisive vitriol that has caused political violence to explode in this country.

I saw Trump and MAGA degrade public discourse and empower divisiveness, hatred, and violence with his rhetoric, I get it, Hitler had his apologists too, but don't even try to paint this fascist movement as innocent in the growth of political violence, it just makes you look dishonest or stupid, or both.

The MAGA insistence that the left is cheering Charlie Kirk’s death

They mean a lot of people on the left, not literally everyone on the left. You made the same kind of generalizations about the right, I'm not sure why you have two different standards here.

I really don't think I can dumb it down any further, please Google the term "comparative statement", maybe that will help you comprehend.

a much higher percentage of the MAGA base did

You need a reliable source if you're going to make a claim like that, not just anecdotal evidence. You're doing the same thing you were criticizing others for doing.

OK, so you were offended, I'm sorry to have insulted the purity of the MAGA race, please forgive me. The MAGA insistence that the left is cheering Charlie Kirk’s death

They mean a lot of people on the left, not literally everyone on the left. You made the same kind of generalizations about the right, I'm not sure why you have two different standards here.

Just Google "comparative statement".

a much higher percentage of the MAGA base did

You need a reliable source if you're going to make a claim like that, not just anecdotal evidence.

Nope, there is nothing anecdotal about it, I lived through it, Trump's participation empowered the MAGA base to gloat and celebrate, I saw it firsthand, and there is no comparison between that grotesque display and the posts of a few whack jobs. Fabricated stories of the attacker being Pelosi's lover were circulated by MAGA leadership like Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Donald junior, you are just talking MAGA BS. 

I'm sorry, but the MAGA lie machine isn't for me.

So the reasoning is that if the election had gone the other way, ? That just admits that the murder was an act of political terrorism.

No, my reasoning is that had Tyler Robinson been from a family of democrats, living in a town of mostly democrats, and consequently, had not been exposed to the echo chamber of right wing violent and divisive rhetoric, Kirk would not have been assassinated.

Yeah, I already acknowledged that "a handful of internet whack jobs gloated"

I was just responding to your statement that "I haven’t actually seen anyone cheering or gloating about this," but apparently you backtracked from that, so I'll drop it.

No, I didn’t backtrack from that at all, what I said was I hadn’t “actually seen it”, and that is a fact, I know it’s going to be on the internet, you can find anything you want on the internet, but to characterize the left from a few whack jobs is just plain old bigotry. I followed with a comparison statement that “There has certainly been nothing like the joyous celebrational way that Trump and his MAGA followers responded to the maniac who tried to kill Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer, there has been no jubilant reveling with mocking conspiracies about nudity and gay lovers. The MAGA insistence that the left is cheering Charlie Kirk’s death is about like Trump’s assertion that he saw Muslims in the streets of New York cheering the 911 disaster, a typical MAGA lie to create outrage at the people they hate.”

I was making a valid point, the gloating has been nothing compared to the gloating of MAGA over the assault on Pelosi, I’m sorry, but you don’t get to characterize the left as gloating over Kirks death on sparse anecdotal evidence, that is a lie, just like when Trump characterized Muslims as gloating because he lied about seeing in on 911.

the core of bigotry is to negatively characterize a group based on the actions of a few, or even an individual.

So, kind of like you did when you mentioned "the joyous celebrational way that Trump and his MAGA followers responded to the maniac who tried to kill Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer." Surely not all his followers celebrated?

No, but your glorious leader did, his son did, and a much higher percentage of the MAGA base did. That is how comparative statements work, what you cut off the sentence you quoted was "There has certainly been nothing like the joyous celebrational way.... See how that works, I acknowledged that what is happening is "certainly been nothing like" what MAGA did. What is your point, are you arguing that it's the right that gloats over a tragedy?

Trump was callous enough to exploit the deaths of 2,977 people to foster hate against Muslims with one of his bald-faced lies, I suppose that is reasonable if that's your point.

Back in the day, when you said "left and right" you weren't talking about race, sexual orientation, and gender identity, you were talking about politics

All of those things are related to political issues. Affirmative action, women's sports, cakes for gay weddings, etc. Those are hot button issues. Also, you claimed the dude was MAGA, which the current evidence strongly suggests he is not.

I didn't mean to imply that a guy who had dates a transexual had polluted the purity of the MAGA race, I'm sorry of you are offended.

the role of government, the economy, foreign policy, that kind of stuff

Okay, so how did the "right" kill Kirk? Was he assassinated for his foreign policy views? For his opinion on the economy? Why would a right-wing person kill Kirk for holding largely similar views on those issues?

I already explained that, Tyler Robinson lived in a republican community, in a republican family, he is immersed in the MAGA echo chamber of hatred, vitriol, and violence, it was probably MAGA's vicious dehumanizing of the alternative lifestyle of his relationship put him over the edge. Whatever put him over the edge, I'm certain this tragedy would never have happened if he didn't live in the MAGA universe of violence and intolerance.
